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...

Experimental combat: technical, anthropological and educational contributions (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thierry Luginbühl.

This article, based on ten years of experimental combat with reproductions of Gaulish weapons by the non-profit organisation Cladio, presents the different thematic categories that this type of approach contributes to technical, anthropological and educational subjects. The technical results are principally about production, resistance and ergonomics of Gaulish military equipment. The results designated as "anthropological" cover a wider scope of questions linked to the techniques of individual...

Experimental Reconstructed Vinča Gradac Phase Copper Smelting (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Mlyniec. Roger Doonan. Duško Šljivar. Yvette Marks. Sarah MacKinnon.

Recent dating projects have determined the oldest known date for copper smelting to appear around, 5000 BCE, associated with Vinča (Gradac phase) sites in the Morava Valley, Serbia. Recent Studies of Vinča metallurgy (Radivojevic 2010) were directed towards the characterisation of slags and associated minerals, and their provenance. This body of work has had important implications for theories relating to the beginnings of metal-using communities. Despite this important research, few studies...

Explaining the "Venus Figurines" of the Upper Paleolithic: Macronutrients and the Effects of Endocrine Responses (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Peter Kakos.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For over a century the so-called "Venus Figurines" have inspired a plethora of scientific discourse and speculation regarding their meaning and function in the Upper-Paleolithic. This paper examines a more down-to-earth explanation regarding their forms and features that most likely reflects the food resources utilized by Upper Paleolithic cultures rather than...

An Exploration of the Demographics of Non-Adults in Medieval Hospital Cemeteries in England (AD 1050-1600). (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Esme Hookway.

This is an abstract from the "The Health and Welfare of Children in the Past" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During the medieval period (AD 1050-1600) in England, hospitals were associated with the Church and most were governed by Church rule. Distinct types of hospitals were founded: leper hospitals, general infirmaries, and alms houses. These sites provided care, shelter, and spiritual nourishment for those in need. Many hospitals had admission...

Exploring Cooperation and Hierarchy among Napoleonic Soldiers by Reconstructing Dietary Variation using Stable Isotope Analysis (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sammantha Holder. Laurie Reitsema. Tosha Dupras. Rimantas Jankauskas.

This is an abstract from the "Cooperative Bodies: Bioarchaeology and Non-ranked Societies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Historical evidence indicates that two strategies characterized diet provisioning in Napoleon’s Grand Army: rationing and cooperative foraging. Drawing on practice theory, we examine which strategy dominated Napoleonic soldier diet during military service. Although the amounts distributed varied by rank and corps, rations...

Exploring Hare Introductions and Management (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tom Fowler. Carly Ameen. Naomi Sykes.

This is an abstract from the "Frontiers in Animal Management: Unconventional Species, New Methods, and Understudied Regions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological studies of animal management have traditionally focused on domestic livestock, such as cattle, sheep/goat and horses. Within farming societies, less attention has been paid to wild animals - particularly smaller taxa, such as lagomorphs. Evidence suggests that the brown hare...

Exploring Intersectionality through Osteobiography: A Case Study from Early Medieval Ireland (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Scott.

Over the last decade, social identity has become well established as an area of bioarchaeological research. Although bioarchaeologists now examine a variety of identities in past societies (such as gender, age, and disability), it remains challenging to discuss the ways in which multiple identities intersect in the creation of individual lives. The construction of osteobiographies provides a means of investigating these intersections, in particular the interrelation of age with other aspects of...

Exploring Roman Army Supply Networks on the British frontiers: A Multi-isotope Approach (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Leïa Mion. Hongjiao Ma. Peter Guest. Angela Lamb. Richard Madgwick.

This is an abstract from the "Integrating Isotope Analyses: The State of Play and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. How did the Roman Empire supply its very large frontier garrisons? Maintaining provision was key to the success of Roman imperialism, but we still know remarkably little about how Romans soldiers on the frontiers were supplied and the impact this had on the provincial countryside and its population. This paper...

Exploring Settlement Connectivity in the Lower Ave River Valley (Northwest Iberia) during the Iron Age Using Least-Cost Path Analysis (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jordan Bowers.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During the Late Iron Age, the Ave River Valley of Northern Portugal was one of the most densely populated areas of the Castro Culture, an archaeological culture in Northwest Iberia. Settlements at this time varied in size from small agricultural sites to large urban hillforts. In this poster, I explore the movement of people, and, by connection, goods and...

Exploring sex-based variation in infant feeding practices in Byzantine Greece using stable isotope analysis of dentin serial sections (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Cynthia Kwok. Sandra Garvie-Lok. M. Anne Katzenberg.

This paper explores whether sex-based differences in infant feeding practices existed at the early Byzantine Greek site of Nemea (5th-6th c.). Dentin serial sections were obtained from the permanent first molar and first premolar from 31 adults (11 males, 8 females, 12 unidentified) and analyzed for stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. The isotopic data demonstrated that most individuals were breastfed and fully weaned at a mean age of 2.6 with a range of 1.8 to 3.6 years. Sex-based differences...

Exploring Social and Economic Change at the Bronze Age-Iron Age Transition in Southern Britain: A Multi-isotope and Zooarchaeological Approach (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Madgwick. Carmen Esposito. Angela Lamb.

This is an abstract from the "Integrating Isotope Analyses: The State of Play and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (ca. 800–400 BC) was a time of great transition in various parts of Europe, largely relating to climatic deterioration and the breakdown of networks surrounding the production and trade of Bronze. In southern Britain this saw the rise of a new site type, commonly termed a midden....

Exploring the Function of Ceramic Crescents from the Copper Age of Southwestern Iberia (Third Millennium BCE) (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Victoria Priola.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lightweight crescent-shaped ceramics with perforations on each end are fairly common finds at Copper Age settlements in southwestern Iberia. These objects are usually assumed to be related to textile production, however, the actual function of these objects is often debated. Were these ceramic crescents, often weighing less than 100 g, heavy enough to function...
