Evaluating Socio-economic Status at Maasplein, Using Food Utility Indices (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kate Trusler.

A number of researchers have inferred socioeconomic status using zooarchaeological data in contexts suggested by artifacts to reflect a particular status level. Cuts of meat that are of relatively high yield ("utility") should be more economically valuable than low yield parts. A model of carcass-part utility assumes that people of high socioeconomic status will preferentially acquire greater relative frequencies of high yield parts than people of low status. The model is applied to the Roman...


Evaluating the Impact of Climatic and Environmental Conditions on AMH Initial Dispersal into Western Europe (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Simon Paquin. Ariane Burke.

Paleoenvironmental reconstruction is an important tool for evaluating and understanding interactions between human populations and their environment during Prehistory. The downscaled global paleoclimatic models produced by the multidisciplinary efforts of the Hominins Dispersal Research Group allow for a fine-scale examination of climatic conditions in Paleolithic Europe. These models enable a spatial accuracy of 15 x 15 km and the consideration of inter-annual variability for different climatic...


Evaluation of an Impact of Different 3D Surface Scanning Protocols on Sex and Age-at-Death Assessment from Os Coxae in Bioarchaeology (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Anežka Koterová. Rebeka Rmoutilová. Vlastimil Králík. Pavel Ružicka. Jaroslav Bružek.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the contemporary bioarchaeology and anthropology in general, 3D imaging technologies are being used more frequently. They offer many new possibilities, among which we can mention for instance a possibility of permanent documentation, an easier and faster sharing of data among institutions or new opportunities of data analysis. 3D surface data may be...


An evaluation of preservation, sex, and age using cremains weight and volume from a Bronze Age cemetery in Hungary (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Pranavi Ramireddy. Julia Giblin. Jaime Ullinger. László Paja.

In well-preserved osteoarchaeological samples, numerous anthropological methods are employed to determine age at death, biological sex, diet, and pathologies. However, with cremated human bone (cremains), determining demographic information is complicated by fragmentation and post-depositional damage. A simple way to assess variability in demographics, taphonomy, and burial treatment in cremains is to measure total bone weight and volume, which can then be examined in light of sex, age-at-death,...


Events, Narrative, and Data: Why New Chronologies, Big Data, and New Materiality Should Change How We Write Archaeology (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Seren Griffiths. Ben Edwards. Tom Higham. Julian Thomas.

This is an abstract from the "Constructing Chronologies I: Stratification and Correlation" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology, at its broadest, constitutes a specific set of practices utilizing material culture to create meaningful narratives. Central to this is our discipline’s relationships with time. This paper will discuss the "time dimensions" and ways archaeological narratives are structured. We suggest that archaeologists need to...


Everyday Objects and the Lived Experience: Inhabiting Gufuskálar, a Late Medieval Icelandic Fishing Station (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sant Mukh Khalsa.

This is an abstract from the "SANNA v2.2: Case Studies in the Social Archaeology of the North and North Atlantic" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Early Icelandic fishing stations are understood primarily through the shifting role of fishing within the Icelandic economy and the importance of fish provisioning within the North Atlantic. Thus, less focus has been placed on studying the lived experiences and domestic lives of people who worked at and...


An examination of changing Copper and Bronze Age trade networks in the Körös River Valley, Southeast Hungary (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Anna Szigeti. Virág Varga. Viktória Kiss. Attila Gyucha.

Metal is a unique raw material which societies in some parts of southeastern Europe have been exploiting since the Middle Neolithic (5500/5400-5000/4900 BCE). As previous studies in various parts of the world suggest, the acquisition and circulation of metal objects, as well as the ability to work metal have been important in the development of prehistoric societies. In our study, we compared the distribution of metal artifacts during the Hungarian Copper Age (4500/4400-2800/2700 BCE) and Bronze...


An Examination of Circum-Alpine Lake Dwelling Botanicals at the Milwaukee Public Museum (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ann Eberwein.

The lake dwelling sites of circum-Alpine Europe were discovered by the archaeological community in the mid-19th century and their artifacts were dispersed to museum collections in the United States and Europe. The Milwaukee Public Museum houses one such collection, which includes zoological material, textile fragments, tools, and carbonized botanicals and food. This paper focuses on the collection of plants and food, which come from Robenhausen, a lake-dwelling site south of Zurich. In studying...


Examining Sedimentation Rates, Find Densities, Raw Material Economies and Technological Solutions in Paleolithic Contexts (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicholas Conard.

This paper examines low density Paleolithic sites from several geological contexts within a diachronic framework. The case studies consider what unifying elements and differences exist in Lower, Middle and Upper Paleolithic contexts and addresses their causes with regard to the nature of sedimentation, raw material availability and technological needs. Where preservation permits links will be made between assemblages of lithic, faunal and botanical artifacts at the contexts studied to help...


Excavating an Excavator: Gerhard Bersu, his networks, and linking past and present (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kate Chapman. Harold Mytum.

Actor-Network approaches allow connections between people and people, and people and things, to be explored in new ways. This is illustrated through a historiographical case study. Gerhard Bersu avoided Nazi persecution by being invited to excavate in the UK, only to be then interned on the Isle of Man in 1940, where he continued to excavate. We explore his social and intellectual networks at that time, together with his relationships with archaeological deposits, field records, and artefacts....


Excavating The ‘Green Redcoat’:Historical Archaeology And New Approaches To The Irish Military Tradition And Experience In The British Army, 1815-1919 (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only S Gavin M Hughes.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the early 1980s, Peter Karsten referred to Irish soldiers in British military service as the ‘Green Redcoat’; a powerful phrase that has been used by many to identify this large group ever since. (Karsten, 1983-4: 34-6) In Irish and British military historiography, the concept of national identity has long...

Expanding Archaeological Research in Mývatnssveit: Conservation, Politics, and Modernity (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan Hicks.

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological research in the Mývatn region of northern Iceland contributed the first regional-scale interdisciplinary archaeological program to Icelandic archaeology (e.g. Lucas 2009, McGovern et al. 2007). Until recently the regional project focused chiefly on the settlement period (beginning in the late 9th century)...


Expanding the Role of Animals in Romano-British Burials (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brittany Hill.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This work considers the implications of human-animal relationships as they are found in the mortuary record of Verulamium- modern town of St. Albans, England. Once considered to be a major center, the mortuary rites given to its people suggest high variability in the role specific animal species played within the living and death culture of the city. While 480...


Expedient Lithic Technology at the Terminal Gravettian of the Peña Capón Site (Central Spain) during Heinrich Stadial 2 (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Manuel Alcaraz-Castaño. José-Javier Alcolea. Luis Luque. Samuel Castillo-Jiménez. Felipe Cuartero.

This is an abstract from the "Expedient Technological Behavior: Global Perspectives and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Terminal Gravettian, first defined in Central Portugal, is a relative outlier concerning the exploitation of lithic raw materials during the Upper Paleolithic of southwest Europe, as especially shown by an intensive use of quartz. Although Terminal Gravettian assemblages often include the production of...


An Experiment in Iron Age Economy (1970)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J. Reynolds.

This document describes the construction of an Iron Age Hut at the Avoncroft Museum. It confronts issues of material choice and construction mistakes while building the hut. Theories of locations and surroundings such as fires and agriculture were formed during the project.


Experimental Archaeology and Investigating Houses in the Past (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Aidan O'Sullivan.

Experimental archaeology can be defined as the reconstruction of past buildings, technologies, objects and environmental contexts, their testing and use, so as to gain a better understanding of the role of material culture in people’s lives in the past. We explore ideas of craft, materiality, knowledge, skills and the use of different materials to practically test how people made, used and discarded things in the past. This paper will investigate how early medieval houses in Europe can be...


Experimental Archaeology and the Theory of Experience: A View from Medieval Archaeology (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Stull.

This is an abstract from the "New Work in Medieval Archaeology, Part 2: Crossing Boundaries, Materialities, and Identities" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The theoretical foundation of experimental archaeology is often left implicit. Some argue that the primary value of experimental archaeology lies in scientific experiments to investigate specific and non-theoretical questions about ancient technology. This paper will address the experiential...


Experimental Archaeology as a Method to Replicate the Ornaments of the Arma Veirana Burial: Overview of the Ongoing Experiments (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Catherine Brun. Julien Riel-Salvatore. Claudine Gravel-Miguel. Fabio Negrino. Jamie Hodgkins.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The discovery of an Early Mesolithic (10,000–9000 cal BP) newborn buried in Arma Veirana Cave (Erli, Italy) is very important both for the rarity of prehistoric newborn burials and for the richness and diversity of its grave goods. Those are composed of 84 perforated *Columbella rustica and four perforated *Glycymeris sp. with different levels of use-wear. Our...


Experimental Archaeology of Medieval Food as Participant Observation (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Stull.

Central to anthropology is the concept of participant observation, where a researcher engages in immersive learning through ethnographic fieldwork. This concept is also important for archaeologists as immersive learning provides an avenue for more robust interpretation and the development of better research questions. Participant observation is not directly possible in the study of medieval archaeology, but replication studies of food culture can serve as one avenue toward immersive learning in...
