A Paleogenomic Investigation of Historical Human Skeletal Remains from Rapparee Cove, North Devon, UK (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kalina Kassadjikova. Mark Horton. Cat Jarman. Lars Fehren-Schmitz.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1997, human bones were discovered ashore at Rapparee Cove in North Devon, United Kingdom. Since then, much news coverage and public speculation has suggested that the remains belong either to French soldiers or enslaved African-descended rebels from St. Lucia who had drowned when the London had shipwrecked off the coast two centuries earlier in 1796. A...

Paleolithic Art and Ritual: An Exploration on Human Activity inside Caves in Southwestern Europe (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Pablo Arias.

Caves provide a privileged context for the study of Prehistoric ritual activity. Inside them, we enjoy the unique possibility of directly observing and analyzing spatial features that have hardly changed (and in some cases have not changed at all) since the Paleolithic. However, the poor preservation of the archaeological evidence during the earliest years of the research, and particularly the enormous cultural gap between the Paleolithic codes and systems of beliefs and the modern observers...

Paleolithic Occupations at Riparo Bombrini (Liguria, Italy): Understanding the Spatial Organization of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amelie Vallerand.

This is an abstract from the "Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology of Liguria: Recent Research and Insights" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The site of Riparo Bombrini (Liguria, Italy) offers a unique setting to compare the spatial organization of Neanderthal and Homo sapiens occupations in a single archaeological site. The disappearance of Neanderthals is one of the greatest debates in prehistory since the period of their decline corresponds to the...

Pandemic Parallels: The Black Feminist Necropolitics of Excavating Cholera in the Time of COVID (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Delande C. Justinvil.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Black Studies and Archaeology" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. “The despair and deplorable conditions within which the black community continued into the realm of death and burial.” While Steven J. Richardson offered these words in 1989, their essence still rings true today. Over the past decade, skeletal remains of nearly thirty individuals have been discovered underneath the 3300 Block of Q Street in...

A Paradigm Shift in Regional Archaeology? (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alex Knodell.

The pace and scale of technological change in field- and lab-based applications in remote sensing, spatial sciences, and digital media (to name only a few) have fundamentally transformed archaeological research design and practice, especially on a regional level. But have these technological advances changed the discipline in ways that might constitute a paradigm shift? Have they resulted in new disciplinary priorities? Or do they simply represent newer, faster ways to pursue agendas not so...

Pastoral Categories for LandCover 6K (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Laura Popova.

In this talk I will discuss the categories that will be used for the LandCover 6k Project to track pastoral land use over time. These new categories will be discussed in terms of the more traditional categories archaeologist and historians have used to talk about pastoralism. I will give examples of how these new categories can be used to track pastoral land use in Eurasia using archaeological data.

Peering into the Glass and What Can It Tell about the Iron Age and the Romans in Northwest Portugal (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mariah Wade. Laure Dussubieux.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Previous analyses of glass sherds from the Cividade de Bagunte, Vila do Conde, Portugal, indicate those glass fragments might have been produced in the Syro-Palestinian region. This paper discusses the results of glass samples from several hillfort settlements and sites connected with the Roman town of Bracara Augusta, Braga, Portugal, analyzed using...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michel Lorblanchet.

The Penumbra of Castro Archaeology: Evidence and Questions (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mariah Wade.

The archaeology and socio-cultural practices of Iron Age hilltop fortified settlements (castros) in Northwest Portugal and Galicia present usual and unusual specific problems. From the recognition of the uniqueness of castro cultural practices in the late nineteenth century to the last decades of the twentieth century, castro archaeology has suffered from the inadequate methodologies of earlier excavations, poor temporal controls, a parochial stance toward entertaining unanswered questions, and...

Peopling the Landscape: The Pollen Record and Nomadic Pastoralism in Iron Age Ireland (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin McDonald.

The people of the Irish Iron Age are often referred to as ‘invisible’ due to their seeming absence from the archaeological record. Ceramics, so often associated with domestic activities, are not a part of the Iron Age material culture. Burials and domestic settlements dating to the Iron Age exist, but they are the exception to the generally sparse archaeological record. In the absence of sufficient material culture and settlement patterns, other means of studying the people of the Iron Age must...

Peopling the Paleolithic: Demographic Approaches to Earliest Prehistory (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer French.

This is an abstract from the "Peopling the Past: Critically Evaluating Settlement and Regional Population Estimates with New Methods and Demographic Modeling" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. With its sparse and often fragmentary human fossil record, comparatively limited range of material culture, and almost total absence of structural evidence, reconstructing local and regional population levels in the Paleolithic is especially difficult. Focusing...

Perception et analyse des scènes dans l'art paléolithique européen (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carole Fritz. Gilles Tosello.

En art paléolithique, les "scènes" sont rares et leur identification repose le plus souvent sur la présence d'un acteur humain ou anthropomorphe. Paradoxalement, la thématique paléolithique compte moins de 5 % de figures humaines pour 95 % d'animaux. Cela signifie que la majorité des assemblages que l'on retrouve dans les grottes sont constitués d'images animales. Or dans nos cultures, l'image humaine est centrale et lorsque nous parlons de scène, nous recherchons intuitivement la référence à...

Performing Feasts and the Use of Animals in Ritual Contexts in Iron Age Ireland (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin Crowley.

Activities at large ceremonial complexes are interpreted as regional community endeavors that form group identities and reify social and political structures. Imposing monuments such as Dún Ailinne, Navan Fort, and Rathcrogan have provided tantalizing glimpses into ritual and ceremonial performances of the Irish Iron Age (500 BC-AD 500). Communal feasting has been suggested to be a key practice at these sites during the later periods of use. At feasts, social structure and identity are...

Persistance de techniques d'orfèvrerie: le torque celtique de Soucy (Aisne) et les bracelets gallo-romains du Poiré-sur-Vie (Vendée) (1998)

Personal Ornaments and the Middle Paleolithic Revolution (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only João Zilhão.

This is an abstract from the "Culturing the Body: Prehistoric Perspectives on Identity and Sociality" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Middle-to-Upper Paleolithic transition is a watershed. By the later Upper Paleolithic, all continents were occupied, all the world’s ecosystems were exploited, and all aspects of ethnographically observed hunter-gatherer culture the archaeological record can preserve are indeed found. Prior to about 100,000 years...

Pervasive Landscapes of Inequality: Want and Abundance within a Hyperobject (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kevin Gibbons.

As globalization matures, environmental, social, and economic factors continue to create ever-expanding landscapes of inequality. Among these drivers, human-driven environmental degradation has, for centuries, operated as a significant producer of inequality. Anthropogenic climate change today perpetuates and strengthens these multi-generational, regional-scale phenomena of landscape change. These processes, such as sediment erosion in Iceland during the past millennium, create a ‘second nature’...

Petrographic and Chemical Analysis of Grinding Stones Collected in Shkodra, Albania (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Zhaneta Gjyshja.

The Shkodra Archaeological Project (PASH) took place in the Shkodra region of northern Albania. Shkodra presents a wide variety of ecosystems and landscapes, which interact with each other, leading to variation in human settlement, social behaviors, and land use, from prehistory to modern times. During the project, fifty-nine grinding stones were collected from various sites. Preliminary analysis shows that they vary in size and type, are composed of different materials, and belong to different...
