Rethinking Egalitarianism and Segmentarity from Archaeological Analysis (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ines Sastre Prats. Brais Currás Refojos.

This is an abstract from the "In Defense of Everything! Constructive Engagements with Graeber and Wengrow’s Provocative Contribution" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For a researcher raised on a political-economy archaeological tradition, the assertion that the origin of inequality is not the relevant point in anthropological research is a shake. But after a careful reading of *The Dawn of Everything*, we are still persuaded that social relations...


Rethinking Migration and Mobility in the Late Roman West with Ceramic Petrography (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Vince Van Thienen.

For some time the study of migration with ceramics was considered unreliable or unuseful after the ethnic discourse applied by cultural historians. The idea of 'pots=people' was heavily criticized, and rightly so: for similarities in style can result from mobility in people, goods and ideas. Yet, discarding the ceramic evidence altogether is not the solution. With a proper understanding of the limitations and issues, and ideally supplemented with other datasets, the distribution of ceramics and...


Reused Timber and Woodland Management in Western Suffolk (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Breiter.

This is an abstract from the "Reinvent, Reclaim, Redefine: Considerations of "Reuse" in Archaeological Contexts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper investigates the social context of timber reuse in late medieval and early modern timber-framed buildings. The data for this survey are centered around the town of Bury St. Edmunds, a market town in western Suffolk surrounded by rural farmsteads and villages. In the mid-sixteenth century there...


Revealing a Medieval Village: The Advantages and Limitations of Applying Geophysical Techniques (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel Cearley. Andrew Bair. Samuel Connell.

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Gaelic Social Order through Castle Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Geophysical surveys have become a common feature in archaeological investigations in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The collection of data sets tend to be carried out rapidly and in many cases results can be immediate, however the interpretation of this data is not necessarily consistent nor are the formative processes of...


Reversals of Fortune: Understanding Shifts in Political Power from Above and Below (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only T. L. Thurston.

Current social theories from a variety of disciplines offer ways through which we may understand when and why citizens of a polity or subjects a ruler are likely to protest or rise in response to problems in the relationship between governments and those they govern. Some forms of asymmetry and inequality serve as good general predictors of when protest, rebellion, or civil war are most likely to occur, while the ways in which these issues are framed and resolved vary from society to society. ...

Rhythms of Settlement Aggregation and Disintegration in Iron Age Bavaria (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Caroline Von Nicolai.

This is an abstract from the "Ephemeral Aggregated Settlements: Fluidity, Failure or Resilience?" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In many parts of Temperate Europe, the first aggregated and fortified urban settlements developed in the Early Iron Age. However, many of these settlements disappeared after a few generations. After a period of decentralization lasting at least two centuries, another episode of settlement aggregation took place in...


Rhythms of Stability and Change in the Central Mediterranean (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rowan McLaughlin. Katrin Fenech. Rory Flood. Michelle Farrell. Ronika Power.

This paper explores changing patterns of isolation in prehistoric island societies, and their ongoing connections with the wider world. The case study is the expansion of agriculture in Southern Europe in the 6th millennium BC, and subsequent landscape and cultural evolution in the Maltese archipelago. This was a series of maritime events, establishing connectivity between Mediterranean islands whose inhabitants’ ‘Neolithic package’ lifeway permitted high-density settlements in small islands. In...

Ritual and Rag Trees in Contemporary Ireland (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer Shaffer Foster.

In Celtic countries, early Christianity was syncretized with pre-existing religious beliefs and rituals, some of which were maintained and modified through the centuries, while others were subsequently adopted but understood as ancient or essential. One ritual practice inhabiting the border of Christian and non-Christian tradition is seen in the Irish rag tree, a hawthorn with strips of cloth hanging from the branches, often located at holy wells or other Early Medieval ecclesiastical sites....


Ritual and Tombs around the Decline and Collapse of the Pylian State (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joanne Murphy.

The palatial society of the Greek Late Bronze Age collapsed around 1200BC. There were signs of widespread mass destruction throughout Greece and several of the palaces and settlements were abandoned. Two of the largest palaces, however, Mycenae and Tiryns in the Argolid, showed evidence of rebuilding of houses in and around the palaces after the first major destruction fire. The century after the initial destruction of the palaces was a period of turmoil and filled with more devastating fires at...

Ritual feasting and its social implications: Analysis of the ritual pits at Dana-Bunar 2- Lyubimets, Bulgaria during the Late Neolithic (5400-5000 BC).


The Ritual Performance of Gift Exchange in Archaic Greece (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ivy Faulkner.

Gift exchange is most often discussed as an economic transaction. Whether goods are exchanged for social, political or cultural capital, the model for examining the practice is based on a commodity framework. However, gift exchange is also a performance, often with prescribed behaviors based on the culture and the individuals participating in the exchange. This behavior clearly falls within the realm of ritual as much as that of trade or economics. In this paper, I discuss gift exchange as a...


Roads and Rivers: The Importance of Regional Transportation Networks for Early Urbanization in Central Italy (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Francesca Fulminante. Luce Prignano. Sergi Lozano. Emanuele Cozzo.

This is an abstract from the "Regional Settlement Networks Analysis: A Global Comparison" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ancient regional routes were vital for interactions between settlements and deeply influenced the development of past societies and their “complexification” (e.g., urbanization). For example, terrestrial routes required resources and inter-settlement cooperation to be established and maintained, and can be regarded as an...


Rock Art, Warfare and Long Distance Trade (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Johan Ling. Per Cornell.

For most of the twentieth century the Bronze Age rock art in Southern Scandinavia has been seen as a manifestation of an agrarian ‘cultic’ ideology in the landscape. In this context the dominant ship image and the armed humans have been perceived as abstract religious icons, not as active symbols relating to real praxis in the landscape. Whilst violence and war related social and ritual traits indeed are common features in the Scandinavian rock art from the Bronze Age and the violence on the...


The Role of Artifact Functional Analysis in Understanding Variation in the Archaeological Record: Assessments from Studies on Tool Design and Use (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joao Marreiros. Ivan Calandra. Lisa Schunk. Walter Gneisinger. Eduardo Paixao.

This is an abstract from the "Variability: A Reassessment of Its Meaning, Afforded Range, and the Relation to Process" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Understanding artifact variability observed in archaeological assemblages may untangle key dynamics marking the evolution of major human behavioral traits. Variability likely reflects technological changes allowing early hominins to respond to dynamic Pleistocene environments and evolving...

A Roman "House"?: A New Model for Understanding the Origins of the Roman Gens (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Naglak. Parrish Wright.

Debate concerning the development and origins of the Roman kinship group known as the gens has a long and contentious history. Theses questions, however, necessarily move beyond the primary textual evidence, the standard resource for such studies. Different heuristic models must be utilized to take advantage of all available data, whether it be textual, archaeological, or via ethnographic comparison. I propose the concept of a "house society" as developed by Lévi-Strauss and taken up by numerous...


The Roman Basilica at Freixo, Portugal: Ongoing Excavations and Current Interpretations Regarding the Role and Regional Significance of this Hinterland Community (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brandon Lewis. Rui Mataloto. Samantha Lorenz. Hugo Miranda de Morais.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations at Freixo, Portugal, continue to provide substantive data regarding the nature of Roman Imperial organization and decline in the southern Iberian Peninsula. Of specific interest is the role of hinterland communities within the overarching sociopolitical and ideological landscape. Recent discoveries at the Freixo Basilica suggest material...


The Roman, Medieval, and Early Modern Potting Site of Dieburg South of Frankfurt/Main, Hesse, Germany, and Its Geochemical Pattern with a Stable Heavy Mineral Anomaly (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Detlef Wilke. Aika Katharina Diesch. Joachim Lorenz.

This is an abstract from the "Ceramics and Archaeological Sciences 2024" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As part of an extended ceramic settlement analysis with ten medieval find complexes in the lower Main depression, we studied Roman and late medieval to early modern pottery from Dieburg (district of Darmstadt), which is the only site with workshop wasters in the larger region. The Dieburg wares exhibit a characteristic anomaly of Ti, Nb, and Zr,...
