Diet and Dentition on the Black Sea: An examination of dental health and dietary reconstruction at Medieval Mesambria (2017)
Dental health and dietary habits from the Bulgarian town of Mesambria have never been investigated for the medieval period. The town has its roots in Mediterranean culture, however, in the Early Byzantine and Medieval periods in Bulgaria, the Slavic Bulgars were vying for power and territory, and Mesambria became caught between the dying Byzantine Empire and the new Bulgarian state. The Bulgars brought with them a different diet, with a preference for millet, meat, and cheeses over the...
Dietary Change during the Middle and Late Pleistocene in the Northwestern Mediterranean: New Insights from the Analysis of Rabbit Assemblages (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Do Good Things Come in Small Packages? Human Behavioral Ecology and Small Game Exploitation" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In Europe, medium- to large-sized herbivores are widely considered to have formed the bulk of the human diet during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic. In contrast, small fast prey taxa were allegedly rarely exploited. Here, we report new data for a number of leporid assemblages from Southern...
Digital and Poly-sensing Archaeology: From Remote Sensing to Smart Trowels (2018)
Duke University started in 2014 a multidisciplinary archaeological research project involving the use of advanced digital technologies and focused on the Etruscan and Roman site of Vulci (Italy). Vulci, (10th–3rd c. BCE), in the Province of Viterbo, Italy, was one of the largest and most important cities of ancient Etruria and one of the biggest cities in the 1st millennium BCE in the Italian peninsula. The project integrates the use of multispectral cameras by drones/UAV, georadar, digital...
Digital Curation Model for the Chora of Metaponto Publication Series (2015)
The Institute of Classical Archaeology and Texas Advanced Computing Center have developed the distributed curation model illustrated in these graphics, associated with the poster presented at the poster session entitled The Afterlife of Archaeological Information: Use and Reuse of Digital Archaeological Data at the SAA 80th Annual Meeting. The "collection architecture" presented here integrates existing cyberinfrastructure resources at the University of Texas at Austin, along with an automated...
Digital Imaging and Rock Art (Relational) Biographies: Reassessing Iberian Late Bronze Age "Warrior" Stelae (2018)
Formal approaches to rock art traditionally focused on meaning and representation. Rock art images and panels were treated as static representations of symbolic frameworks while their materiality and active role in cultural production were overlooked. Rock art is the product of the dynamic interplay between people, tools and the rock surface. The properties of the rock panel have the capacity to shape rock art production as much as the skill and knowledge held by the engraver/painter and the...
Digital on-site presentation of the invisible past (2017)
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the possibility of broad spectrum of digital methods for presentation of archaeological sites. This approach is extremely valuable in locations where there is neither any preserved construction, nor any relic of the original appearance of the past structures and landscape. Such sites usually meet with indifference both from the public and from institutions involved in preservation of historical monuments. The possibility of creating virtual and augmented...
The Dimensions of Tektaş Burnu: The Benefits of Computer Generated Modeling in Archaeology (2017)
Tektaş Burnu is a Classical Greek shipwreck from the 5th century BCE which sank off the coast of Tektaş Burnu, Turkey. Excavated between 1999 and 2001, this ship was found to carry a cargo of, pine tar, pottery, kitchen tools and wine in over 200 potentially Erythraen amphorae. The ship itself was consumed by shipworms so the size was determined by the location of the cargo, a pair of marble opthalmoi and lead-filled anchor stocks. This project has taken the findings from this excavation – the...
Ding Dung: Animal Enclosures, Digested Bones and, Where was the Livestock in the Archaeological Site? Evidences from Experimentation and Zooarchaeology from Late Prehistory in the Western Mediterranean (2017)
One of the most intriguing questions in many archaeological sites is to elucidate where the livestock was kept, and which and how many animals were herded. This is particularly compelling in Late Prehistory, when many sites were heavily fortified, and all the space intramuros seemed to be occupied by domestic buildings. Some disciplines, such as micromorphology and palynology, help to answer some of these questions. In this paper, we will provide a perspective from zooarchaeology, which is one...
Disability, Impairment, and Care: An Analysis of Trauma Patterns from Bezławki, Medieval Prussia (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The bioarchaeological analysis of trauma in skeletal remains provides insights into the lives and lifestyles of past populations. Conventionally, such analysis has focused on military-aged males, with less attention paid to other demographic groups. The late-medieval cemetery site at Bezławki, Poland, provides an opportunity for a relatively broad analysis...
Disappearing Past: Seasonal Coastal Settlements in NW Iceland (Ninth–Fifteenth Centuries) (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Climate and Heritage in the North Atlantic: Burning Libraries" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout the settlement of Iceland there has always been a dependence on marine resources. Furthermore, studies have shown marine resources were being utilized far inland, indicating exchange networks from the start of the settlement period. However, there is a research bias within Icelandic archaeology, which has been...
Discerning Paleolithic Places Rather Than Pleistocene Palimpsests: Olival Grande and the Early Upper Paleolithic in Central Portugal (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The expansive, open-air archaeological site of Olival Grande contains the earliest, well-dated Upper Paleolithic assemblage known from the Rio Maior vicinity. Fabric analysis, sedimentology, and geochemistry studies detail manifold site burial mechanisms, very slow rates of deposition, and significant post-depositional processes at the hillslope site. This...
Discovery of a New Middle Magdalenian Site at Enval in the Massif Central of France (2018)
We present the discovery of a new Middle Magdalenian site at Enval, a rock shelter site in the Massif Central of France. Radiocarbon dates indicate a tight chronology at 17,000 years ago. The site is significant for several reasons. Faunal elements indicate the site is largely intact and not a palimpsest. Faunal studies also indicate the site was occupied during the winter. This is important because it demonstrates that late Pleistocene humans occupied the Massif Central during harsh conditions....
Disgusting Things: How Disgust Shapes Contemporary Homeless Materialities (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Disgust is experienced as a “gut reaction” against something (an ambiguous object) mediated through sensory experience, typically smell, touch, and sight. It is an affect that is materially grounded and results in the need to create a boundary, distance, between “self” and the object that elicits the response. While working as a contemporary...
A Distant Perspective: Characterization of Britain and Ireland in Studies of Large-Scale Exchange (2018)
Archaeologists often characterize the Bronze Age by a pronounced expansion in long-distance interaction, which resulted in contact, whether direct or indirect, between disparate geographical areas. The centrality of this notion to the definition of the Bronze Age has resulted in numerous studies addressing such large-scale exchange of material culture and/or ideology. When incorporated into such studies, Britain and Ireland are often lumped together under the moniker of "the British Isles." This...
Distinguishing Tooth Marks from Knapping Marks and Assessing Conflicting Interpretations of Modified Bones from the Upper Paleolithic Site of Gough’s Cave (Somerset, UK) (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Animal Resources in Experimental Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experimental and fossil-based zooarchaeological research attempts to distinguish traces on bones associated with human actions (e.g., butchery marks) from the actions of other faunal agents (e.g., bone gnawing and trampling). Fewer analyses have tried to differentiate gnawing marks from the marks left by hominin activities associated with the...
The Diversity of the European Neolithic Transition (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The advent of the Neolithic period in Europe, as elsewhere globally, represents a powerful transformation in human history. In spite of important contributions, neither global explanations nor single-site-based case studies have so far led to a general model for the history (histories) of the transformation. This is what our new project intends to challenge....
Do All Dogs Go to Heaven? How Pet Cemeteries Document Changing Human-Animal Relationships (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Public pet cemeteries represent a relatively recent phenomenon in western European/North American societies. First appearing in the late 19th century in England, France and the United States, their numbers quickly expanded across these and other countries as people commemorated their non-human friends in new ways. The locations and organisation of these...
Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbors? Pilot Osterøy Field Project (PILOST) and Redefining boundaries in Southwestern Norway (2017)
PILOST is an archaeological survey of southwestern parts of the Island of Osterøy, Norway, focusing on the changes in landscape enclosure (ideologies?) practices as well as settlement and burial patterns from the Neolithic through the Historic Periods in Southwestern Norway. This project examines a unique form of human landscape manipulation through time, taking different forms than those observed elsewhere in Scandinavia. The first field season of PILOST (Summer 2016) initiated extensive field...
Do Not Be Distracted by the Talking Dog: Aspirational Status Display by Medieval Elites at San Giuliano (Lazio Province, Italy) (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Thinking Big in the Andes: Papers in Honor of Charles Stanish" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Chip Stanish once told me that a good archaeologist should be able to be thrown out of a plane anywhere in the world and find something interesting to say about the material record there. Inspired by many years under Chip’s tutelage and drawing on my earlier work in the Andes, I here present data from my current research at...
Does Increasing Social Complexity Buffer Energy Consumption from the Effects of High Frequency Climate Variation? A Western European Case Study (2018)
Humans, like any other organism, must continuously adapt to or modify their surrounding environment to maximize their fitness. One of the main sources of environmental variation that humans must cope with is climate variation. Adjustment to climate variation may include increasing investments in infrastructure (social, technological, cognitive), which acts as a buffer, filtering out the effects of higher frequency climate variation on the ability of individuals and populations to consume energy,...
Down and Out at Dysert O'Dea (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Gaelic Social Order through Castle Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Díseart Molanín castle was constructed by a leading lineage of the O’Dea clan in the late 15th century in north central Co. Clare, Ireland. The clan occupied a territory within a composite chiefdom that had been dismembered and incorporated into a primitive state in the 12th century AD, led by the O’Briens. The O’Deas hung on...
Downscaling in Archaeology: From digital forest to probable trees (2017)
Integrating archaeological and paleoenvironmental data about the past is a longstanding archaeological goal. It is often central to basic archaeological interpretation, fundamental to addressing questions of human-environment interaction, and vital to realizing archaeology’s potential contributions to studies of vulnerability, resilience, and sustainability in the face of climate change. However, such integration faces challenges of scale, resolution, and mechanism. Increasingly abundant digital...
