Prehistoric Thule Whaling Societies in the Canadian Arctic; Ritual, Symbolism, and Ideology (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Savelle.

Prehistoric Thule Inuit in the Canadian Arctic were pre-eminent whalers, focussing on the bowhead whale, the largest prey species hunted by any prehistoric or historic hunter-gatherer society. The ethnographic literature provides a rich source of information dealing not only with the importance of bowheads in the diet of early historic bowhead-hunting Inuit societies, but also how social structure, ritual, symbolism and ideology were all centered on complex Thule-bowhead relationships. This...

Preliminary Assessment of the faunal remains from the 2007 Midden Excavation in Eyri, Westfjords (lab report) (2009)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Ramona Harrison.

In 2007 area G of the Eyri site in Ísafjörður, NW Iceland was object of a midden assessment undertaken by the Archaeological Institute of Iceland. The midden mound in area G is associated with the farm mound at Eyri in downtown Ísafjörður. The farm mound was previously trenched for occupational layers in 2003 and 2004 (Taylor et al 2005), yielding an assortment of animal remains that were analyzed in 2005 (Krivogorskaya & McGovern 2005). Upon coring the midden mound to define its...

Preliminary Assessment of the faunal remains from the 2008 excavations at Gufuskálar, Snæfellsnes (2010)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Frank Feeley. Sophia Perdikaris. Megan Hicks. Konrad Smiarowski.

This report is regarding the zooarchaeological remains excavated from Gufuskálar, on the north coast of Snæfellsnes in the west of Iceland, during the summer of 2008. The aim of this research was to investigate three mounds which are believed to be part of the long abandoned Gufuskálar fishing station. The inland farmstead at Gufuskálar has been documented as far back as 1274 and there were upwards of fourteen fishing booths along the coast during the 14th Century. The station was said to have...

Preliminary Insights into Prehistoric Toolstone Preference of Two Igneous Materials in the Tanana River Drainage, Interior Alaska (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brooks Lawler.

This project examines prehistoric human mobility and raw material preference for tool manufacture in the Tanana River Drainage, Interior Alaska. A geographic approach is used to investigate the distribution of prehistoric obsidian and rhyolitic artifacts in relation to the sources of these materials. The objective of the investigation is to reveal spatial patterning in the distributions of artifacts made of these two materials, relative to each other and relative to the cost of obtaining these...

Preliminary Report of Archaeological Fieldwork at Svalbard (Svalbardshreppur), 2008 (field report) (2008)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Jim Woollett.

This document is a preliminary report of archaeological fieldwork conducted at and around the farm of Svalbard, Svalbardshreppur, in June 2008. An initial evaluation of the archaeological potential of Svalbard was made by archaeologists of the Iceland Palaeoeconomy Project (IPP) in 1986, revealing the presence of deep midden deposits adjacent to the extant farm mound, on the bank of the bank of the Svalbarsa River. Test excavations and then large scale excavations of this midden...

A Preliminary Report of the 2008 Midden Excavation at Skutustadir, N Iceland (field report) (2008)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Megan T. Hicks. Ramona Harrison.

In 2007, midden deposits associated with the 9th-19th c. archaeological site of Skutustadir in the Lake Myvatn District of N. Iceland were located. The remains were first noted by Arni Einarsson of the Myvatn Science Station and later, more extensively surveyed by CUNY archaeologists. In 2008, an international team lead by CUNY and FSI excavated three trenches and located midden deposits which are the subject of this preliminary zoooarchaeological report. The trenches exposed archaeological...

Preliminary results of new excavations on Jens Munk Island, Foxe Basin, Arctic Canada (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Kotar. James M. Savelle.

Paleo-Inuit groups settled and inhabited the Canadian Arctic from 2800 B.C. until the arrival of Thule Inuit groups approximately 1200 A.D. Previous archaeological research indicated that Paleo-Inuit populations were particularly large and stable in a "core area" comprising Foxe Basin, Nunavut, and adjacent regions. The diverse and supposedly stable resources of this area allowed people to continuously inhabit the region for almost 3000 years, including a supposedly smooth transition from the...

Queering the Inuit Past: Archaeology as LGBTQ Allyship (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meghan Walley.

The real-world utility of academic archaeology is frequently called into question. I address this perception by demonstrating that archaeology has unique potential in the sphere of LGBTQ activism. Because archaeology deals in constructing past narratives, it has the discursive power to naturalize or denaturalize existing social structures and identities. While archaeology has a long history of reinforcing normative social categories, archaeologists have recently begun to apply queer theory,...

Railroads and the Historic Resources to Understand their Significance (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael R Polk.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Transitioning from Commemoration to Analysis on the Transcontinental Railroad in Utah: Papers in Honor and Memory of Judge Michael Wei Kwan" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological research of a railroad, while not dissimilar to researching the history of a place, has unique aspects that make it challenging if one is not familiar with the subject. When envisioning a railroad, most people think of...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Julie Bond. Stephen Dockrill. Nicole Burton.

This is an abstract from the "Climate and Heritage in the North Atlantic: Burning Libraries" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Knowe of Swandro, (Orkney Islands, Scotland) was a large settlement occupied from around 800 BCE to CE 1200 and consists of Iron Age roundhouses, Pictish buildings, and a Viking/Norse settlement, much of which has already been lost to the sea. A substantial Iron Age roundhouse that had been occupied for many generations...

Report of Animal Bones from Selhagi, Mývatn District, Northern Iceland (2003)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Thomas McGovern. Sophia Perdikaris.

In 2001 the FSĺ / NABO project Landscapes of Settlement in Northern Iceland collected animal bones from a stratified midden deposit associated with the abandoned site Selhagi on the property of the modern farm Haganes. Selhagi is located in the lushly vegetated lakeshore zone and its environmental setting presents a strong contrast with the eroded uplands to the S of the lake where the early sites at Sveigakot and Hrísheimur are under excavation. Close to both major migratory waterfowl nesting...
