Formation Processes and Biases in Big Data (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Flint Dibble.

This is an abstract from the "Establishing the Science of Paleolithic Archaeology: The Legacy of Harold Dibble (1951–2018) Part II" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Much of Harold Dibble’s career was focused on the formation processes of the archaeological record. Initially, formation theory encompassed both natural and cultural formation processes; however, in the last few decades most scholars have focused on natural biases in the formation of the...

Fox Overabundance and Human Response in the Earliest Villages of the Near East (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Reuven Yeshurun. Melinda Zeder.

Ethological and ecological studies point to the proliferation of small mammalian carnivores, most notably red fox (Vulpes vulpes), in human-modified environments. Foxes prey on human trash and consequently their populations in and around settlements are denser, their survival rate is improved and their foraging territories contract, centering on refuse dumps. This carnivore overabundance leads to a series of effects on the local ecosystems. The foxes’ strong commensal relationship with humans...

From Agamemnon to the Animals: Zooarchaeological Research on Human-Animal Boundaries at Mycenae, Greece (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jacqueline Meier. Thalia Lynn. Kim Shelton.

This is an abstract from the "If Animals Could Speak: Negotiating Relational Dynamics between Humans and Animals" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. At the Late Bronze Age site Mycenae in Greece, animals have long been understood mainly in terms of records preserved on clay tablets and sealings, artistic depictions, and later references in Homeric epic echoed by Schliemann. The archaeological remains of animals record a more detailed record of complex...

From Enfilades to Medieval Caves: An In-Progress Report from the Medieval Roman Archaeological Survey of Kalymnos (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Drosos Kardulias.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Aegean island of Kalymnos was unsurprisingly transformed by conflict between Roman and Arab Caliphate forces through the early Middle Ages; atypically among its neighbors, the end of antiquity seems to have produced a more durable and connected Kalymnian community, compared to that which came before. This paper expands on earlier GIS analyses of the...

From Field to Screen: Best Practices for Digital Recording and Global Sharing of Catacombs from Late Roman Sicily (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Davide Tanasi. Ilenia Gradante. Stephan Hassam.

Ten years after the seminal research on the digital recording of the monumental complex of The Catacombs of Saint Domitilla at Rome, undertaken by the Österreichische Akademie Der Wissenschaften , the virtualization and the dissemination of 3d models of Late Roman catacombs is still a challenging research topic. While the catacombs of Rome are consistently considered for cutting edge digital archaeology projects, the underground cemeteries of Late Roman Sicily, the second in importance to those...

From Homes to Ruins: Ethnoarchaeology and Small-Scale Village Dynamics at Post-19th Century Kızılkaya, Central Turkey (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ayse Bursali. Ian Kuijt.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Drawing on interviews with former residents of the abandoned Turkish village of Kızılkaya, as well as photogrammetry and other visual research, in this poster we consider how this post-1800 rural village was organized around the household, the mosque, access to the river, and raising and caring for animals. The rural village of Kızılkaya, located in the...

From Soil to Society: Local Variability in Inferred Climatic and Environmental Change and Landuse in the Valencian Community, Spain (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Samantha Lash.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Climatic and environmental factors are ‘creeping’ phenomena with rapid thresholds, and there is a disjuncture between product and best-practice in terms of landuse. The ways in which people engage with their environment are necessarily influenced by the nature of the given region, but the form of that engagement is contingent on cultural and historical...

From Tangible Things to Intangible Ideas: The Context of Trans-Regional Movements of Artifacts, Cereal Crops and Animals (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Xinyi Liu.

This is an abstract from the "From Tangible Things to Intangible Ideas: The Context of Pan-Eurasian Exchange of Crops and Objects" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Scholarly interest has been growing in an episode of trans-Eurasian exchange of agricultural systems and tangible material goods in late prehistory. The trans-regional movement of a number of artifacts, cereal crops and animals occurred within a series of transformative process that...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard A Gould.

From Terrace to Tray: Agriculture and Foodways at a Thirteenth-Century Alqueria (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathleen Forste. Amalia Pérez-Juez. Alexander Smith. Helena Kirchner. Guillem Alcolea.

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Food and Foodways: Emerging Trends and New Perspectives" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The preparation of a meal begins with the acquisition of ingredients—and for much of our human past, this has meant growing or gathering. Thus, food production through farming is a natural starting point for investigating foodways, especially for communities that are self-sufficient or have limited access to...

From the Field to the Festival: Reading the Landscape of Cloth in Axum, Ethiopia (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joanna Casey.

The city of Axum in northern Ethiopia is well known for its high quality, hand woven cloth. Sundays and festivals bring throngs of local people who, to the outside observer, appear to be uniformly dressed in beautiful white handspun clothing embellished with colourful woven borders and embroidery. This apparent uniformity belies a very complex set of activities that lead to the production, distribution and consumption of cloth in Axum. Each step in production is dominated by people of...

From Triangles to Rectangles: Exploring Change Over Time at the Epipalaeolithic Site of Kharaneh IV, Jordan (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Danielle Macdonald. Ahmad Thaher. Lisa Maher. Theresa Barket.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The multi-component Epipalaeolithic site of Kharaneh IV, located in the Azraq Basin of eastern Jordan, documents ~1,000 years of occupation by hunter-gatherer groups late in the Last Glacial Maximum. Multiple lines of geomorphological, faunal, and archaeobotanical evidence indicate that the environs around the site were well-watered, lushly vegetated, and...

From Wetlands to Deserts: The Role of Water in the Prehistoric Occupation of Eastern Jordan (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lisa Maher. Danielle Macdonald. AJ White. Jordan Brown.

This is an abstract from the "Water in the Desert: Human Resilience in the Azraq Basin and Eastern Desert of Jordan" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the Azraq Basin of Jordan, dramatic landscape changes from wetlands to desert resulted in shifts in settlement and land use over time suggesting that, like today, water availability was crucial for past populations. Changing environmental conditions throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene had...

Full of Water, Full of Life: Water, Resilience, Sustainability, and Built Heritage in the 19th to 21st Centuries San Pasquale Valley, Calabria, Italy (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meredith S. Chesson. Isaac Ullah. Nicholas Ames. Hamish Forbes. Paula Kay Lazrus.

In the early 1800s wealthy landowners acquired lands in the San Pasquale Valley, located 50 km from the provincial capital of Reggio Calabria in southern Calabria, Italy. Internal migration of farmworkers to establish commercial bergamot, olive, grape, and mulberry orchards in this valley created a large and thriving community of farmworker families who built the landowners’ villas, the overseers’ and farmworkers’ houses, and the farming infrastructure of wells, cisterns, aqueducts, mills,...

Functional Implications of Backed Piece Variability for Prehistoric Weaponry in the Middle Stone Age (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Benjamin Schoville. Jayne Wilkins. Kyle Brown. Simen Oestmo. Terrence Ritzman.

MSA backed pieces are often thought to be components of projectile armaments, however our limited understanding of their functional characteristics as projectiles precludes understanding the adaptive problems they may have solved. Despite widespread acknowledgment of raw material differences and inter- and intra-assemblage morphological variability, whether backed piece morphology reflects functional, economic, or stylistic variation has a paucity of empirical support. Here, the functional...
