Faunal database, representing part of one of three digital archives relating to fieldwork undertaken within the parish of Cottam, East Yorkshire from 1989-2003 under the auspices of the University of York. The overall aims of the project were: 1.The examination of a number of so-called Anglo-Saxon 'productive sites' 2.The study of settlement development from the Anglian to Anglo-Scandinavian periods, including a better understanding of the process of village nucleation 3.The investigation...

The Institute of Classical Archaeology and Texas Advanced Computing Center have developed the distributed curation model illustrated in these graphics, associated with the poster presented at the poster session entitled The Afterlife of Archaeological Information: Use and Reuse of Digital Archaeological Data at the SAA 80th Annual Meeting. The "collection architecture" presented here integrates existing cyberinfrastructure resources at the University of Texas at Austin, along with an automated...

Report of a project integrating magnetic minerals analysis and pollen studies of two Cheshire meres. Landuse reconstructions for the Peckforton Hills district from the third millenium B.C to the 18th century A.D. explain the apparant lack of archaeological remains of populations related to the Bronze and Iron Age occupations of Beeston Castle and Maiden Castle hillforts. 35 p. Research results summarized in Schoenwetter, J., 1982, "Environmental Archaeology of the Peckforton Hills," "Cheshire...

As the field of Digital Archaeology becomes increasingly prevalent, large-scale projects tend to dominate both thinking about and approaches towards the digital landscape. Scholars and students with smaller budgets and resources are often at a disadvantage; we believe renewed energy should be devoted to exploring the value and integrity of small-scale projects. This poster presents From Stone to Screen, a multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and open-access digitization project launched in 2012...

James Schoenwetter (Ph.D. Southern Illinois 1967) was a Professor Emeritus at Arizona State University. His research interests included prehistoric cultural ecology, applications of pollen analysis in archaeology and research methodology. Before his retirement in 2000 he directed the ASU Anthropology Department’s palynology lab. Pollen research by Schoenwetter and his students involved a variety of sites in Mesoamerica, North America and Europe. He directed archaeological and botanical...

The Fifth Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) was held in Bournemouth, England, September 15th to 19th, 1999. Berle Clay and I attended as representatives of the Register of Professional Archaeologists. Presently, European archaeology is very similar to our own experiences in the middle 1970s and early 1980s, but yet it is unique and diverse in so many ways. Areas of concern to European archaeologists sound all too familiar: how to define significance, the need for...

Sediment samples associated with a Mesolithic site on the shore of Tatton Mere contain pollen "downwashed" through the deposits since establishment of a soil on an aeolian dune that developed at the locale in Romano-British times. Application of the method suggested in Schoenwetter, 1990, "Method for the Application of Pollen Analysis in Landscape Archaeology," allows interpretation of the pollen sequence in terms of changes in local landuse. The result is wholly consistant with the sequence of...

Archaeological publishing is moving from the traditional model of the print monograph (as the definitive word), to an open and interactive model in which it is expected that primary data and the processes of their collection and interpretation are exposed for the reader to validate, re-use, and reinterpret. Online representation of archaeological data and research, then, must achieve transparency, exposing the relations between field collection and research methods, data objects, metadata, and...

During the Georgian Period a sculptor named John Henning (1771-1851) obtained permission to make a model of the Parthenon friezes. After twelve years of carving he produced a smaller scale slate copy of the Parthenon frieze in which castings were made for collectors. Very few of these have survived as plaster is a fragile medium. In 2013 one of these rare pieces was discovered and was preserved in an archival state through conservation. Because of Henning’s study and model of the original...

DATASET James Morris.

This table contains the main faunal information such as species and element, the contextual and dating information and an indication if toothwear, modification and metrical information are present.

DATASET James Morris.

This datasheet holds additional data on the measurements taken. Measurement taken, using a number code. The number corresponds with that used in Von Den Driesh 1976. When Von Den Driesh has not used a number (as in long bones) the numbers correspond to the order of Von Den Drieshs measurements (i.e. for the humerus Gl=1, BP=4 etc)

DATASET James Morris.

This data is in addition to the main faunal datasheet and contains information on bone modifications such as butchery, working, burning and gnawing.

DATASET James Morris.

This datasheet contains the tooth wear information. The wear of an individual tooth measured using the Grant 1982 method. Number rather than letter codes are used. Therefore wear stage a=6, g=12 and p=20 etc.

The Spitalfields Market excavations in London were one of the biggest and most exciting archaeological projects in Britain, uncovering a Roman cemetery, a medieval priory and its churchyard (including the remains of nearly 11,000 people buried there), and the remains of hundreds of houses dating to the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The excavations, running from 1991 to 2002 also recovered the largest group of artefacts ever found in London. The excavations consisted of a number of different...
