Flintknapping Experiments and Middle-Range Theory (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Bradbury. Philip Carr.

The manufacture of stone tools in the present and careful recording of resulting flake debris over the past thirty years typified middle range theory building and allowed new insights into past human behavior, especially regarding mobility systems. Walter Klippel, best known for contributions to zooarchaeology, encouraged our going down a rocky path of middle-range theory building. Flintknapping experimentation has generated a great deal of individual data sets but the promise of "big data"...


Following Human-Cattle Assemblage Itineraries: A Non-anthropocentric Perspective on Past Human-Animal Interactions (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicolas Delsol.

This is an abstract from the "Multispecies Frameworks in Archaeological Interpretation: Human-Nonhuman Interactions in the Past, Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Conventional zooarchaeological approaches to the human-animal relationship often offer an anthropocentric perspective where animals mainly serve to fulfill human needs, whether material or symbolic. To address this issue, I propose a decentered model that I applied to the study of...

Formation Processes and Biases in Big Data (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Flint Dibble.

This is an abstract from the "Establishing the Science of Paleolithic Archaeology: The Legacy of Harold Dibble (1951–2018) Part II" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Much of Harold Dibble’s career was focused on the formation processes of the archaeological record. Initially, formation theory encompassed both natural and cultural formation processes; however, in the last few decades most scholars have focused on natural biases in the formation of the...

The Foundations of a Queer Philosophy of Science – Is Archaeology the Answer? (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nathan Klembara.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite a long history in the philosophy of the science that has defended the gendered, subjective, and value-laden nature of knowledge production, few (if any) inroads have been made into the formulation of an explicitly queer philosophy of science. In this paper, I argue that archaeologists are uniquely situated to develop such a queer philosophy of science....

From Cattails to Maize: An Archaeobotanical Discussion on the Relationship between Human Groups and Plants during the Archaic and Formative Period (ca. 4000–2000 BP) in the Atacama Desert (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alejandra Vidal-Elgueta. Francisca Santana-Sagredo.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, human groups settled during the Archaic and Formative periods (ca. 4000–2000 BP) in the Tiliviche and Aragon sites, located between the coast and the hinterlands. We analyzed and identified the macrobotanical and microbotanical remains from the sites of Tiliviche-1 and Aragón-1 to evaluate the ontologies among the...


“From Enslavement to Empowerment” and What Comes After: Plantation Futures on a Palimpsestic Landscape (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer Saunders.

This is an abstract from the "Deepening Archaeology's Engagement with Black Studies" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The idea of the landscape as a palimpsest, where traces of a former version can be read under the present one, came out of Paleolithic archaeology, where thousands of years of human activity must be read through low-density artifact scatters. In 2013’s “Plantation Futures,” Black geographer Katherine McKittrick describes the...


From Households to Communities and Back Again: Bridging Analytical Scales in Search of Conflict, Coalescence, and Communitas (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Cameron Wesson.

Archaeological examinations of households and communities have increased dramatically over the past decade. These studies explore the ways people define themselves while simultaneously shaping the social interactions, physical spaces, and material objects that comprise their daily existence. Despite the considerable insights generated by such studies, it is often difficult to bridge analytical scales when research is primarily focused at either the household or community level, with little to...


From Las Brisas to the World: The Genesis of a Periphery-Core Perspective under the Tutelage of Pat Urban and Ed Schortman (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Louis Neff. Samuel Connell.

This is an abstract from the "I Love Sherds and Parasites: A Festschrift in Honor of Pat Urban and Ed Schortman" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper explores the influences of Pat and Ed's methods and theories on two friends who first met and worked together in 1990 at the archaeological site of Las Brisas in the Naco Valley, Honduras. Without the incredible opportunities, methodological grounding, and theoretical approach provided by Pat...

Game Theory, Chaos Theory, and the Archaeology of Indigenous Responses to Global Spanish Colonialisms (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Rodning. Stephen Acabado.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Dominant historical narratives have favored interpretations that conquered groups yielded to the political and economic might of colonizing powers. Recent models in archaeology, however, emphasize that indigenous responses to colonialism are more complex than succumbing or capitulating to colonial and imperial hegemony, and that indigenous peoples...

Genes, Culture, and the Archaeological Record (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael O'Brien.

This is an abstract from the "The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Human Origins: Archaeological Perspectives" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As archaeology increasingly turns to explanatory models of cultural evolution based on a Darwinian perspective, three processes—dual inheritance, cultural transmission, and, more recently, niche construction—have assumed prominent positions. Until the early 1980s, the behavioral sciences tended to draw a...

GIS Publishing Trends in Archaeology: How GIS Has Been Used from 1994 to 2021 (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Zachery Clow. Issac Ullah. Juliette Meling.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Geographic information system(s), GIS, have been used in the past to visually represent a dataset, perform basic computation analysis, or compile data. In recent decades this trend has shifted to incorporate a theoretical framework for thinking spatially about data across temporal scales. This was brought up recently by Locke and Pouncett (2017) who asked,...


The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly in Ancient Water Systems. Comparative remarks along the axes of small- large and dry-wet (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Maurits Ertsen.

In Scarborough’s comparative work, when explaining the differences between Old and New World water systems, the differences between small-scale, local and imperial, large systems are important focus points for defining these differences. Furthermore, much of Scarborough's work suggests that the wetness and dryness of these worlds matter as well. Building on these key notions of the importance of environmental conditions in building understanding of water systems, this paper discusses the growing...
