This presentation will highlight the evidence for trade networks and the distribution of goods at the ancient port city of Apollonia Pontica along Bulgaria’s Black Sea Coast. Founded in the 7th century BC by Milesians from western Ionia fleeing an incursion by their Lydian neighbors, Apollonia -- with its two excellent ports and easy access to the...


An examination of changing Copper and Bronze Age trade networks in the Körös River Valley, Southeast Hungary (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Anna Szigeti. Virág Varga. Viktória Kiss. Attila Gyucha.

Metal is a unique raw material which societies in some parts of southeastern Europe have been exploiting since the Middle Neolithic (5500/5400-5000/4900 BCE). As previous studies in various parts of the world suggest, the acquisition and circulation of metal objects, as well as the ability to work metal have been important in the development of prehistoric societies. In our study, we compared the distribution of metal artifacts during the Hungarian Copper Age (4500/4400-2800/2700 BCE) and Bronze...


Examining Sedimentation Rates, Find Densities, Raw Material Economies and Technological Solutions in Paleolithic Contexts (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicholas Conard.

This paper examines low density Paleolithic sites from several geological contexts within a diachronic framework. The case studies consider what unifying elements and differences exist in Lower, Middle and Upper Paleolithic contexts and addresses their causes with regard to the nature of sedimentation, raw material availability and technological needs. Where preservation permits links will be made between assemblages of lithic, faunal and botanical artifacts at the contexts studied to help...


Expanding the Boundaries of Cultic Space: An Investigation of Nature in Greek Cultic Spaces in the Argolid and Messenia (2800–146 BCE) (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Natalie Susmann.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The importance of landscape to ancient Greek cultic activity has been long acknowledged. Beliefs and stories about Greek gods and lesser deities were firmly situated in the visible physical world. Despite our acceptance that this was a widespread practice, few modern archaeological studies consider these visual and topographical relationships on a regional...

Expedient Technological Behavior in the Aurignacian of Southern Italy (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Armando Falcucci. Adriana Moroni.

This is an abstract from the "Expedient Technological Behavior: Global Perspectives and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The role of expedient behaviors in the Upper Paleolithic has often been overshadowed by the study of more elaborate technologies to produce bladelets. This disparity in research focus is particularly evident in the Aurignacian context. Little discussion exists surrounding the use of cost-effective methods to...

An Experimental Archaeological Approach to Persian Period Mortaria Construction through the Lens of Tell el-Hesi (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only India Pruette.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mortaria are vessels associated with kitchen pottery, particularly in the Persian period (approx. 550–330 BCE), and are often overlooked for flashier finds. In the 1970s, during excavations of Israeli site Tell el-Hesi, questions regarding vessel construction arose about recovered fragments of mortaria: namely that they were not wheel-made. At Hesi in...


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...

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 as a Tool for Understanding Microbotanical Taphonomy (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Calla McNamee. Sofia Laparidou. Georgia Tsartsidou. Maria Bofill. Soultana-Maria Valamoti.

Microbotanical residue analysis, particularly starch grain and phytolith analysis, of ground stone artifacts has become a well-established method for investigating subsistence practices, plant processing patterns, and tool use at prehistoric sites around the world. Within the Aegean, however, where wheat and barley are the primary staple grains, microbotanical analysis of stone tools has only recently been incorporated into on-going research. A collaboration between PlantCult, a European...

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...

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 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...
