News from the Register of Professional Archaeologists-EAA Conference Review (1999)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Charles M. Niquette.

The Fifth Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) was held in Bournemouth, England, September 15th to 19th, 1999. Berle Clay and I attended as representatives of the Register of Professional Archaeologists. Presently, European archaeology is very similar to our own experiences in the middle 1970s and early 1980s, but yet it is unique and diverse in so many ways. Areas of concern to European archaeologists sound all too familiar: how to define significance, the need for...

No Country for Old Crones: Exploring the Presence of Grandmothers in the Ancient Greek Archaeological Record (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amy O'Keeffe.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Motherhood" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In scholarship, there has been a past tendency to ignore and obfuscate mortal mothers; this also extends to the mothers who live to see their grandchildren. While there has been a sentiment in the past that motherhood is invisible in the archaeological record, there has been very little consideration given to the presence and roles of grandmothers in ancient...

No Man Is an Island: Death and Burial on the Island of Haffjarðarey (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah E. Hoffman.

During the 13th century Iceland became a major hub of the North Atlantic fishing industry sparking international conflict over fishing rights between mercantile interests from Norway, Denmark, England, the Netherlands and Northern Germany. From ca. 1200 - 1563 the Catholic Church and cemetery on the island of Haffjarðarey served as the burial place for the large geographic region of Eyjahreppur in western Iceland. The church and cemetery were closed during the Lutheran Reformation and the...

Non-adult Dis/ability and Care in Early Medieval Britain (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katie Hemer.

A child who is unwell or physically impaired naturally causes concern and anxiety for his or her parents/carers. For many in today’s modern society, accessible medical care means that the challenges associated with caring for a sick or disabled child can be overcome or, at least, minimized. But how did parents/carers respond and adapt to the demands of ill-health and physical impairment in children during the early medieval period? In seeking to address this question, this paper will explore...

Norse Exploitation of Wooden Resources in North America: Determining Wood Provenance Using Isotopic Analysis (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elie Pinta. Sofia Pacheco-Fores. Euan P. Wallace.

This is an abstract from the "SANNA v2.2: Case Studies in the Social Archaeology of the North and North Atlantic" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. From historic sources we know the inhabitants of the North Atlantic islands relied on importations of timber from Northern Europe in order to supplement their resource deficit. In the case of the Greenland Settlements, we know Norse Greenlanders organized expeditions to North American shores where they...

Norse Textiles at the Western Edge of the North Atlantic. (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michele Smith.

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Three NSF-funded grants from Arctic Social Sciences, focusing on textiles as women’s production, used over 1500 textiles from Iceland, Greenland, the Faroes, and Scotland...

The North Sea and the "Long" Viking Age: Connections and Communication (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alison Leonard. Steve Ashby. Dries Tys.

This talk presents the results of a northern European collaborative pilot study on the compilation and analysis of internationally-derived datasets of metal-detected material culture. Drawing on nascent heritage initiatives across northern Europe designed to protect and record our at-risk portable material culture, the project seeks to develop and trial a methodology for the synthesis and analysis of metal-detected datasets from England, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands, resulting in the...

Northern Norway’s sea of islands: processes of maritime colonization and settlement (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen Wickler.

Epeli Hau’ofa’s (1993) perception of Oceania as a ‘sea of islands’ is a useful point of departure for exploring the long-term trajectories of the many thousands of islands scattered along the coast of northwestern Norway. Hau’ofa’s vision of joined islands is also instructive as a way of emphasizing seaborne connectivity rather than insularity within maritime archaeology. This paper highlights problems related to island colonization and settlement since the Early Mesolithic (11,500-10,000 BP) in...

The Northern way – Conceptualization of Nonhuman Animals in the Animal Art of 5-6th century Norway (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elna Siv Kristoffersen.

The presentation takes up a northern way of expression opposed to a southern one – namely the stylistic depiction and focus on animals and mixed animal/human designs prevailing in the Nordic Barbaric area opposed to a focus on the naturalistic ideal of the human body throughout the classical world. The complexity and continuity of this Nordic art form indicates that it was structurally incorporated in an overarching principle that reflects social and cosmic order. The mixed animal-human designs...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations at the Late Antiquity Roman Basilica of Nossa Senhora do Freixo, Portugal, provide insight into the surprising significance of this hinterland community within the southern Iberian Peninsula. Recent excavations have revealed architectural components and compositional trappings associated with a center of regional affluence. Imported utilitarian...

Not Going There: Seeing, Depicting and Interpreting Archaeological Topography through Digital Media (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Opitz.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Vision in the Age of Big Data" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper explores a tension in field practice and interpretation in landscape archaeology. Digital 3D topographic data have proliferated, and the increasing availability of lidar DTMs are transforming the practice of archaeological topographic interpretation. As a toolkit for interpretation tailored to this digital medium is being...

The Not Very Patrilocal European Neolithic (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bradley Ensor.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Two decades of strontium isotope and aDNA research on Central European Neolithic cemetery populations have consistently interpreted patrilocality, which is now a foregone conclusion. This paper questions those interpretations from a social anthropological perspective. Models are presented for interpreting strontium isotope ratios and aDNA that consider the...

Obsidian Characterization at the McMaster Archaeological XRF Laboratory: Case-Studies from the Italian Island of Sardinia (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kyle Freund. Tristan Carter.

The McMaster Archaeological X-ray Fluorescence Laboratory (MAX Lab) was established in 2010 with the goal of using compositional analyses of archaeological objects to engage with broad-level questions about past human behavior. In this context, obsidian has been the primary artifact type analyzed, taking form through the sourcing of artifacts to the geological sources from which they originated. As an example, this presentation focuses on prehistoric obsidian exploitation on the central...

Of Fish and Plague: Death as Economic Opportunity at the Medieval Fishing Station of Gufuskálar, Iceland (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sant Mukh Khalsa.

The high morbidity (50% or greater) of Iceland’s Black Death in 1404 C.E. disrupted a rigidly hierarchical Icelandic social order and led to an inability to enforce social and legal constraints on Iceland’s labor classes. This newly untethered and mobile lower class searched for avenues for wealth creation previously unavailable. One avenue, in the century following Iceland’s Black Death, was through fishing and fish exports. During this period, previously tightly restricted fish exports...
