Human volunteers and mechanical arms: Quantitative and comparative analysis of bone surface modifications created by humans and machines (2015)
Zooarchaeologists use traces on bones to understand something about the ecology and subsistence behaviour of our ancestors. Although we may not be equipped with the proper interpretive analogues to understand the possible range of roles hominins had in past ecosystems, numerous taphonomic studies have investigated the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of natural and cultural bone surface modifications (BSM). Most experimental taphonomic research relies on 'naturalistic' simulated...
Humans and carnivores at the Bluefish Cave II (northern Yukon): interpretation of the faunal remains (2015)
While research is still ongoing, the earliest date for the first modern humans in America is well accepted at 14,000 cal BP. Some archaeological sites propose a date prior to the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, however. This is the case of the Bluefish Caves which proposes a human presence in northern Yukon as early as 25,000 uncal BP. Here, approximately 18,000 bone specimens recovered from Cave II have been determined and examined under stereomicroscope. This zooarchaeological and taphonomic...

Integrating Bones, Soils and Dates: Late Pleistocene-Holocene Settings and Human Occupations in the Pampas of Argentina (2016)
A great increase of archaeological knowledge from the Pampean region of Argentina occurred in the last 20 years. Three main approaches were explored in detail by means of archaeological research that contributed to broadening our understanding of hunter-gatherers in the past: interdisciplinary studies, geochronology, and taphonomy. These perspectives were either initiated or reinforced in our projects by Eileen Johnson. The aim of this presentation is to highlight the main contributions that...
Interobserver and Intraobserver Error in a New Method of Cut Mark Morphological Analyses (2016)
Determining the types of lithic materials used to produce cut marks can further our knowledge of movement, trade, resource use, and other anthropologically relevant variables. Previous research indicates that lithic materials can be differentiated using a new methodology based on a score derived from the presence/absence of 10 morphological features determined using a stereo microscope with an external light source. Some of the advantages of this methodology are that it is low cost, easy to...

The Localization of Taphonomy: The Impacts of Physical Environments and the Memorialization Practices of Local Populations on Combat Loss Archaeological Sites (2017)
The taphonomic processes that affect archaeological remains in a given location are some of the most significant factors to be taken into consideration when assessing the type and amount of information potentially recoverable from an archaeological site. These processes vary widely based upon geographic region. Human agency as a taphonomic process has similar geographically and culturally-based variability. Through remembrance, memorialization, and commemoration, or lack thereof, to include...

Mammals in a Colonial Context (2017)
The archeozoological studies about secondary contexts (dumps and construction fills) are important as they explain the customs of the people in a particular time. These studies, normally, are excluded from the archeological studies as funerary offerings, burials, activity areas, and so on, are the aim study of the archeology. Moreover, the secondary contexts, as they are not related to systemic contexts, are considered informatively poor. We studied the faunal remains of a Mexican colonial dump...
The Materiality of Sound: Detecting Performing Patterns On Two Mesoamerican Bone Rasps (2017)
This presentation focuses on some results of an interdisciplinary study carried out on two scraping idiophones made of human bones from ancient Mesoamerica (omichicahuaztli). Both the instruments are today on exhibit at the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico "Luigi Pigorini" in Rome. The detailed analysis of the bone surfaces allowed us to reconstruct the taphonomic processes that affected the bones and the steps employed to transform them into musical instruments. Our research team...

Micromorphological Analysis of Thin Sections from Bear Creek (45KI839), Redmond, King County, Washington (2017)
Micromorphology samples were collected during data recovery at the Bear Creek Site (45KI839) in Redmond, Washington in order to supplement the site’s formation history. Micromorphological analysis of these samples has shed light on the taphonomic and sedimentary depositional processes at work prior to, during, and after Late Pleistocene-Holocene transition (LPH) occupation of 45KI839. This poster presents the micromorphology research design, sampling and analysis methodology, and results of...

Molecular taphonomy of biominerals in the Western Pacific (2017)
Molecular and microarchaeological artifacts of human subsistence are recorded in the bones, tissues and residues of the skeleton. These artifacts provide substantial correlative evidence for macroscopic and sedimentary data of dietary plant and animal use in the archaeological record. Within the depositional context however, many factors in the local environment disturb or degrade these signatures, reducing or eliminating their usefulness in diet reconstruction. The islands of the tropical...
Monticello's South Yard: A Case Study in Evaluating Time Averaged Deposits (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plantation Archaeology as Slow Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Between 1979 and 2016, Monticello’s Department of Archaeology conducted excavations in the South Wing, South Pavilion, and adjacent yard areas with diverse research goals, methods, and collection strategies. These spaces underwent significant modifications over the course of Thomas Jefferson’s lifetime. Several paths and roadways...
