Looters Can’t Steal Everything: Salvage Archaeology at the San Giuliano Necropolis (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jamie Aprile.

This is an abstract from the "Etruscan Centralization to Medieval Marginalization: Shifts in Settlement and Mortuary Traditions at San Giuliano, Italy" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Etruscan cemetery around the San Giuliano Plateau has been looted extensively, but salvage excavations of several emptied tombs have yielded results that increase our understanding of the funerary landscape. In the 2018 and 2019 field seasons, two vertically...

The Lost Dimension: Pruned Plants in Roman Gardens (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Gleason.

This paper focuses on previously unnoticed evidence for the pruning and dwarfing of plants represented in Roman garden paintings, such as the well-known example from the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta. Dozens of other examples of detailed garden scenes are preserved at Pompeii and Herculaneum. Their trompe l'oeil effects created interior garden settings for both living and dining spaces, as well as to extended the perceived extent of actual gardens in exterior courtyards of shops, houses, and...

Love beyond What Is Lost: Expressions of Kinship through Mortuary Practice at Phaleron Cemetery (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Rothwell. Anna Alexandropoulou. Jane Buikstra.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While discussions of kinship in Ancient Greece have largely been limited to the elite and their families, the Archaic cemetery of Phaleron (700–480 BC) provides a unique opportunity to investigate kinship relationships among people of lower socioeconomic status. This is especially true of interments of children, which can be interpreted not only as a...

Luminescence dating of a Paleolithic site in the Aegean islands (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Feathers. Tristan Carter. Daniel Contreras. Christelle Lahaye. Katheryn Campeau.

Survey and ongoing excavations at the Stélida chert source and prehistoric stone tool quarry on the island of Naxos in the Aegean have yielded numerous lithic artifacts of Paleolithic and Mesolithic types. One implication is that the Greek islands may have been inhabited prior to the emergence of anatomically modern humans, a conclusion also drawn from a recently discovered site on Crete (Strasser et al JQS 2011). The Naxos site may be older, and its associated corpus of lithic material is...

Machine Learning for Chronology Building in Regional-Scale Synthesis (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only C. Michael Barton. Alfredo Cortell-Nicolau. Agustín Diez-Castillo. Javier Fernández-López-de-Pablo. Salvador Pardo-Gordó.

This is an abstract from the "Big Ideas to Match Our Future: Big Data and Macroarchaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Chronlogical control is essential for regional-scale research in order to establish contemporaneity or temporal sequences among spatially distributed assemblages. Archaeology has benefitted from advances in radiometric dating methods, as well as statistical protocols for combining dates to achive greater precision age...

Machine Learning Species Identification with ZooMS Collagen Fingerprinting (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Buckley. Muxin Gu.

The creation of a robust method of species identification using collagen fingerprinting, also known as ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) has been useful for objectively defining the composition of the fragmentary component of archaeological assemblages. The method usually works through the measurements of the sizes of collagen peptides following enzymatic digestion, which yield a fingerprint that can be genus or even species-specific. However, even these peptide biomarkers have been...

Making amber beads: technological insights into a Late Neolithic and Bronze Age craft activity (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Annelou Van Gijn. Matilda Sebire.

Experimental research of different ways of shaping and perforating amber beads has provided insight into the signatures of different manufacturing techniques and the character of the tools involved. Using stereo and incident light microscopy it was for example possible to distinguish the features from the use of metal tools from the traces resulting from flint implements. Perforating amber with drills made of different raw materials like wood, metal, flint and antler, also show considerable...

Making One’s Way in the World: identifying and dating prehistoric routeways (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Martin Bell.

Archaeologists focus on sites. This paper looks at ways of identifying patterns of habitual movement that made those sites part of a living landscape. It draws on palaeoenvironmental evidence, ethnohistory from the American North-West Coast and the micro-scale of human footprints. Patterns of movement by people and animals create structures within landscape, which influence the activities of subsequent generations and the perspectives from which they encounter and perceive landscape. Paths ...

Making, Baking, Breaking, and Cutting: Experiential Learning through Enacting the Past (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Khaled Abu Jayyab. Natalia Handziuk. Stephen Rhodes. Sean Doyle.

This is an abstract from the "Experimental Pedagogies: Teaching through Experimental Archaeology Part II" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Concepts, such as the “chaîne opératoire” and “communities of practice” are central to material analyses and student training at the Gadachrili Gora Regional Archaeological Project Expedition (GRAPE), Republic of Georgia. Teaching abstract conceptual frameworks to undergraduate students is a challenging task for...

Managing Forests in the 19th and Early 20th Century Bovese (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Paula Kay Lazrus.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The town of Bova, located in the foothills of the Aspromonte in the province of Reggio Calabria, Italy, once dominated a region rich in forests and woods. Travelers from the 15th – 19th centuries commented upon the rich vegetation. Archival records ranging from tax declarations to legal disputes refer to the presence of trees and forests in locations around...

Managing Wooden Resources in Norse Greenland: Using Tree-Rings to Explore Wood Use and Acquisition Strategies in a “Treeless” Environment (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elie Pinta. Claudia Baittinger.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During medieval times, Norse Greenlanders relied heavily on wood for making household items, as a construction material, and as a fuel source. Although the quantity and quality of timber available in local woodlands were limited, Norse craftspeople also had access to driftwood and imported materials. Most studies in the North Atlantic use taxonomic...

Manipulation of the Body in the Mesolithic of North-West Europe (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amy Gray Jones.

This paper seeks to situate the phenomena of ‘loose’ human bones in the Mesolithic of north-west Europe within a wider understanding of the role of post-mortem manipulation of the body in the mortuary practices of these Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Whilst originally interpreted as the remains of disturbed burials, assemblages of disarticulated human remains have begun to be accepted as evidence for alternative mortuary practices, though their specific nature has so far received little critical...

Manufacture of Late Neolithic Pottery from the Southern Balkans: An Integrative Approach (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gazmend Elezi.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout their life, from manufacture to final discard, ceramic vessels participated in different human activities within Neolithic communities throughout the Balkans. As a result, vessels, potters, and users are involved in a relational interaction leading to a continuous negotiation of various aspects of the Neolithic world. The outcome of this relation is...
