The Relationship between Isotopic Evidence of Childhood Diet and Childhood Rickets in a Nineteenth-Century Jordanian Bedouin Population (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Delphi Huskey. Megan Perry. Robert Tykot.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The site of Tell Hisban offers a unique perspective on the history of metabolic disease among nineteenth-century Middle Eastern Bedouin populations. Compared to regional samples from the same period, Hisban has a high rate of childhood metabolic disease, including rickets. Many infants at the site died with active rickets, and analysis of interglobular...

The Religious Network in the Early Spanish Colonialism in Asia: A Comparative Study of Seventeenth-Century Church Sites in Archaeological Contexts (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ellen Hsieh.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Evangelization of China and Japan was one of the missions of Spanish colonial projects in Asia, and churches, as critical monuments in colonial landscapes, could be an access to investigate European colonial activities. However, unlike the rich studies of missionary archaeology in the Americas, although some church sites have been excavated or documented...

Remembering the Dead in the Ancient Near East: Recent Contributions from Bioarchaeology and Mortuary Archaeology (2014)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Chelsea Walter

Remembering the Dead in the Ancient Near East is among the first comprehensive treatments to present the diverse ways in which ancient Near Eastern civilizations memorialized and honored their dead, using mortuary rituals, human skeletal remains, and embodied identities as a window into the memory work of past societies. In six case studies teams of researchers with different skill sets—osteological analysis, faunal analysis, culture history and the analysis of written texts, and artifact...

Report on Pollen Samples from the Deh Luran Plain (1969)

DOCUMENT Full-Text James Schoenwetter.

Pilot study of the pollen of 2 modern and 7 archaeological-context sediment samples suggests larger archaeological-context samples are required for analysis but pollen preservation is not problematic.

Representation and Distribution of Fragmented Elements from Human Skeletons in Umm an-Nar Tombs: Impact of Secondary Mortuary Practices (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lesley Gregoricka. Jaime Ullinger.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Umm an-Nar (2700–2000 BCE) skeletons in the United Arab Emirates remain challenging to investigate due to secondary mortuary practices resulting in commingling, fragmentation, and cremation. Tombs contain multiple chambers, but little work has been done to examine whether certain skeletal elements may have been intentionally moved into particular chambers...

Rethinking Caprines-As-Capital: Pastoralism and the Low-Power States of Early Mesopotamia (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Grossman. Tate Paulette.

This is an abstract from the "Ancient Pastoralism in a Global Perspective" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In ancient Mesopotamia, animal husbandry was intimately bound up with the process of state making. The twin institutional powers of palace and temple managed enormous herds of sheep and goats. But were these animals mere wealth-on-the-hoof, staple goods supporting a classic system of staple finance? Or were they something else, operating...

Revealing the Local: A Look Inwards at the Archaeology of Southeastern Arabia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Eli Dollarhide.

Rita Wright’s valuable contributions to the archaeology of urbanism and holistic, multi-scalar approaches to settlement patterns is well-attested in her survey work along the Beas River Valley. This paper picks up these themes in a different region of the interconnected Bronze Age world that has been the focus of her research—ancient Oman. Known as Magan in Mesopotamian texts, a considerable amount of research has been conducted on Bronze Age Oman by focusing on its external connections to...

The Road More Traveled: ‘Ain Ghazal and the Peopling of the Black Desert (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gary Rollefson.

This is an abstract from the "Pushing the Envelope, Chasing Stone Age Sailors and Early Agriculture: Papers in Honor of the Career of Alan H. Simmons" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The late Pleistocene and early Holocene Neolithic connections over the maritime routes from the eastern Mediterranean shores to Cyprus have been fruitfully investigated, and those links clearly involved more than the simple movement of ideas. Another development in the...

A Rock Art Depiction of a Desert Kite Hunting Drive Trap (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven Rosen. Lior Schwimer. Roy Galili. Naomi Porat. Nadel Dani.

This is an abstract from the "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Rock Art Documentation, Research, and Analysis" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A recently discovered petroglyph panel in the Har Tzuriaz region of the southern Negev, Israel, depicts a typical desert kite, a form of drive trap used for millennia to hunt gazelle. The depiction closely approximates an actual desert kite located less than a kilometer away, but not in direct line of sight....

Rock Art, Animals, and Desert Landscapes: A Case Study from the Black Desert of Jordan (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nathalie Brusgaard.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the late 1st millennium BC and the early 1st millennium AD, nomadic groups inhabited the Black Desert of northern Arabia. These desert societies are elusive, having left behind few material remains and archaeological research having been scarce. What we know about them has been based almost solely on the inscriptions they carved into the basalt rocks. Yet...

Rocks through the Ages: A 360° Geometric Morphometric Approach to Middle Pleistocene Bifacial Technological Variability in Central Armenia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jayson Gill. Daniel Adler. Keith Wilkinson. Ana Barun. Boris Gasparyan.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study applies a three-dimensional landmark-based geometric morphometric (GM) technique to evaluate chronological variation in Acheulian bifacial technology during the Middle Pleistocene of Armenia. This analysis utilizes 360° documentation of biface shape to supplement more commonly used single-surface and outline GM approaches. Furthermore, traditional...

Running with the Mules: Integrating Zooarchaeological, Archaeological and Textural Evidence to Reconstruct the Exploitation of Equids in Southwest Asia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lubna Omar.

The equid had a vital role in animal economy in Southwest Asia, whether as a wild animal providing primary/secondary products to prehistoric communities, or as a domestic source of energy which supported war affairs and trade during historic periods. Reconstructing the dynamics of humans and the four-equid species, which were present in the region, is a complicated endeavor due to the paucity of skeletal evidence in faunal assemblages; the difficulties in distinguishing morphological traits to...

Sacrificing and Eating Dogs in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean World (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Haskel Greenfield. Justin Lev-Tov. Ann Killebrew. Annie Brown.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Walter Klippel and his former student Lynn Snyder published finds of butchered dog bones from the Dark Age site of Kavousi in Crete. Other researchers, both before and after that published work, noted such finds elsewhere in Greece as well as in Cyprus, and dating to a wide range of post-Neolithic periods. Butchered dog bones are also known from several Philistine sites in Israel. Here, we consider present a detailed discussion of a butchered, apparently...

A Satellite Remote Sensing Model for the Ancient Traffic in Upper Mesopotamia (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tuna Kalayci.

Roads reflect motivations and needs behind many relations of past societies; they imposed spatial order on agricultural production, enabled transportation of bulk-goods, and mediated hegemonic power. Considered not only as the container of action, but also the action itself, the road has much more to say on the ancient movement praxis. This study focuses on Bronze Age roads (hollow ways) in Upper Mesopotamia. At this space-time, the movement embedded within production economies contributed to...

Scales of Analysis and Modes of Interpretation in Osteobiography: An Example from the Dilmun Bioarchaeology Project (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexis Boutin.

Bioarchaeologists have traditionally prioritized statistically significant patterns in large skeletal assemblages to document major biocultural trends in human populations. But in the last 15-20 years, the osteobiography approach has returned to favor, encouraging bioarchaeologists to focus on the specifics of the human scale, reconstruct an experiential prehistory, and restore an identity to those "genderless, faceless blobs" (Tringham 1991: 97) who people so many traditional interpretations of...
