Explaining Variation in the Scale of Neolithic Quarry and Mine Production (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Peter Schauer. Kevan Edinborough. Stephen Shennan. Andrew Bevan. Mike Parker Pearson.

In recent years new methods have been developed for using summed radiocarbon probabilities as a population proxy and for comparing radiocarbon datasets to establish whether they are significantly different from one another, while taking into account sampling variation and the patterns in the calibration curve. On the basis of newly collected and updated radiocarbon data on the dating of Neolithic mines and quarries in in Britain, Ireland and continental Northwest Europe, the paper will present...

EXPLORING THE DEVELOPMENT AND SPREAD OF ARCTIC MARITIME TRADITIONS THROUGH BAYESIAN RADIOCARBON ANALYSIS (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Shelby Anderson. Thomas Brown. Justin Junge. Jonathan Duelks.

To address the question of why arctic maritime traditions developed and spread in the North American Arctic during the mid- to late Holocene, we applied Bayesian analysis to a large radiocarbon database (n = 1202) for northwest Alaska and the Bering Strait region. We used Oxcal to create and analyze demographic patterns in summed probability distributions. We also used Bayesian calibration models to clarify the probable timings and durations of cultural phases and key transitions in the...

Faunal Analysis from the 2005 Excavation at Aðalstræti Nr. 10 in Reykjavík, Iceland (lab report) (2008)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Ramona Harrison. Marjorie Gorsline. Megan Hicks. Elise Alexander. Frank Feeley. Slobodan Mitrovic.

In 2005, Archaeological excavations at the site of Aðalstræti in downtown Reykjavík were carried out under direction of Mjöll Snæsdóttir and Howell M. Roberts from the Archaeological Institute of Iceland (FSÍ). Reason for these archaeological activities was a planned rebuilding and reparation of the house at Aðalstræti 10, whose building date falls into the latter half of the 18 th Century (Snæsdóttir, 2005 – English translation). Phase one of the investigations involved a series...

Faunal Analysis of the Early Modern Bishop's Farm at Skalholt, Arnessysla Iceland (2011)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Thomas McGovern.

This dissertation presents the analysis of faunal material recovered from middens outside the main complex of the Bishop of Southern Iceland´s Cathedral farm at Skálholt, Arnessysla, Iceland. Issues of diet, deposition patterns, as well as participation in larger trade and intellectual networks addressed. All of these issues are examined in order to investigate larger issues centered around the early modern Atlantic world. The Skálholt material is also compared with the larger body of existing...

Feeding Stonehenge: The Potential of Coprolites as Tools for Reconstructing Diet (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lisa-Marie Shillito. Helen Mackay. Ian Bull. Mike Parker-Pearson.

The Feeding Stonehenge project combined zooarchaeology with pottery residue analysis to explore the diets and provisioning of the inhabitants of Neolithic Durrington Walls, the settlement associated with the construction of the iconic Stonehenge monument in southern Britain. A lack of preserved plant remains at the site, and an overwhelming dominance of porcine and ruminant lipids in the pottery, suggests that animal products were the major source of nutrition. This research tests this...

Female Warriors of the Viking Age (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Antonio Redon.

This is an abstract from the "Women of Violence: Warriors, Aggressors, and Perpetrators of Violence" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In my presentation I will explore how women in the Viking age contributed to acts of violence by looking into three different cases of burials containing women with weapons and armaments. I will draw these studies from my original Master’s thesis published in 2017 and focus solely on the archaeological evidence,...

Finder-Collectors: Untapped Potential for Collaborative Engaged Scholarship (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Suzie Thomas. Anna Wessman.

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Avocationals including metal detectorists can be defined as finder-collectors. This includes people who keep collections, including objects they have themselves found, but also possibly objects that they have acquired through purchasing, swapping, gifting, or by other means. This category expressly does not include people who loot but does include...

The Follo Railroad Environmental Monitoring Project in Medieval Oslo, Norway (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Vibeke Vandrup Martens. Michel Vorenhout.

In conjunction with a large urban infrastructure project, renewing the Norwegian railroad through the listed monument of the Medieval town of Oslo, an environmental monitoring programme was established. The Medieval town consists of extensive archaeological remains preserved in situ. The monitoring programme focusses on the following questions: What is the influence of building an encased railroad next to a medieval monument? How are the unsaturated conditions influenced next to the new...

Foreign Whaling in Iceland, Archaeological Excavations at Strakatangi in Hveravik, Kaldrananeshreppi 2008 (field report) (2008)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Magnus Rafnsson. Ragnar Edvardsson.

This is a report of the excavations at Strákatangi in Strandasýsla in 2008. Continuous excavations since 2005 have revealed extensive remains from foreign whalers in the area. The remains of four structures are visible at the Strákatangi site, three of them are clustered together and the fourth at some distance from the main cluster. The three structures that have been excavated from 2005 are tryworks, a large building with three rooms (habitation) and one smaller building...

From caribou to seal: The implications of changes in subsistence focus from Birnirk to Thule at Cape Espenberg (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lauren Norman. Claire Alix. Owen Mason.

The widespread Birnirk culture is considered the source of the Thule and modern Inuit peoples across the arctic, based largely on legacy data from the 1930s to 1960s. Nonetheless, the archaeology of the Birnirk culture is understudied, with a 1970s archaeofaunal study near Barrow framing the culture as ringed seal specialists who depleted local seal populations and were forced to migrate northward. This proposition is called into question by our excavation of two houses in 2016 at Cape Espenberg...
