Intersectionality and Plantation Archaeology: Intertwining the Past, Present and Future (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberly Kasper. Dwight Fryer. Jamie Evans. Claire Norton.

Intersectionality is a useful framework to employ when reconstructing the everyday lives of enslaved individuals during the Antebellum. Often, archaeologists find it difficult to create narratives that connect the material culture of the individuals we excavate with their dynamic experiences, especially impacts of sexual and economic exploitation, human rights and the rule of law. This paper focuses on the overlapping of multiple identities (in this case enslaved and free women and men on the...

Intertwined Histories and Relational Personhood: Maya Co-essences (Spirit or Way Companions) Past and Present (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christina Halperin.

It is widely recognized that co-essences or spirit companions (wayob) were a part of ancient Maya understandings of personhood. Partly because ethnographic analogies are used to understand ancient practices, it is easy to assume that beliefs and experiences surrounding Maya co-essences were static over many hundreds of years. In examining archaeological, epigraphic, ethnohistoric, and ethnographic data, this paper investigates the history of co-essences and, in turn, the way in which co-essences...

Is Analogical Reference Possible for the Earliest Paleoarchaeological Assemblages? (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Thompson.

This is an abstract from the "Inference in Paleoarchaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There is no consensus about how to define the first paleoarchaeological record, or how old it is. An assemblage of flaked stone artifacts from Lomekwi 3, Kenya, dates to 3.3 million years ago. Two fossil specimens at the 3.34-million-year-old site of Dikika-55, Ethiopia, preserve butchery marks on their surfaces. The strength of interpretation that these...

Is Digital Data Different? (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Huggett.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Vision in the Age of Big Data" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological data is notoriously tricksy: while we appreciate it is always incomplete, frequently unreliable, often replete with unknown unknowns, we nevertheless make the best of what we have and use it to build our theories and extrapolations about past events. Are data in a digital environment any different? Is there any reason to think...

LCT Movement due to Animal Locomotion: Model Experiments in a Trail Box (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph Wayman.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experiments were performed using a scale model animal footstep simulator and similarly scaled lithic LCTs (Long Cutting/Core Tools) to test the hypothesis that the devices were manufactured for the purpose of being deployed in the path of target animals to damage their feet and make them easier to kill and use as a resource (Wayman 2010).

Learning from the past about the present and for the future (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sander Van Der Leeuw.

This paper argues that we would massively increase the value of our archaeological understanding of the past for the present if we cast it differently. Rather than use a reductionist, 'ex-post' approach (which explains the present by invoking the past, looking for origins), we should be using an "ex ante" approach that looks at the emergence of change, allowing us to learn from the past about the present and for the future. The paper first briefly summarizes some of the difficulties encountered...

Life Histories Thick and Thin: Scaling and Four Dimensions of Artifact Variability (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William Walker.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Method and Theory: Papers in Honor of James M. Skibo, Part II" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Life history analysis offers a means for organizing activities through time that tracks the interactions of one or more objects. These objects both human and nonhuman make up the stuff of ongoing cultures and their archaeological remains. We record these lives using four types of measures: object frequencies,...

Linking Black Studies and Archaeology through an Intersectional Materialism (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stefan Woehlke.

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. Archaeology is an inherently materialist pursuit linking history to the production of the world in which we live. Black intellectuals have played a critical role in the development of the social theories we use to explain that productive process. This paper will briefly outline some of these historical contributions to social theory...

Littoral Society and the Heterotopic Fabric of Early Medieval ports (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Randall.

This is an abstract from the "Mediterranean Archaeology: Connections, Interactions, Objects, and Theory" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ports have long been recognized as nodes within grand skeins of connectivity, the thresholds over which goods and ideas move into a wider hinterland. But how, and to what extent, do ports function as their own world, and what can we say about littoral society and the contextual relationship of sea-adjacent peoples...
