1,901-1,925 (3,157 Records)
The Romans had a strong interest in the natural world. Their relationships with animals extended from animals as food source to animals as exotic curiosities and everything in between. Dogs held a complicated position for the Romans, filling a wide range of roles. For example, dogs could be companions, war weapons, street cleaners, or victims of sacrifice. This variety shows how dogs were conceptualized sometimes as individuals and pets, sometimes as pests, and other times as powerful and almost...
Marginality in a Connected World: Consumption and Consumerism in 19th-Century Rural Ireland (2017)
Although, the rural Irish are often characterized as a geographically and economically isolated people, their material culture reveals that in the nineteenth century, they were part of a growing global economy—one that circulated both goods and people around the British Empire and beyond. While the industrial revolution and the spread of capitalism allowed for greater access to a variety of goods for the rural Irish, they also maintained a class system that perpetually confined the rural poor to...

Materiality and Memory in Northwest Iberia: Water, Metal, and Stone (2021)
This is an abstract from the "The Iron Age of Northwest Portugal: Leftovers of Behavior" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, I explore the attractant qualities of water, metal, and stone as they have intertwined with human memory-making over three millennia in northwest Iberia. During the Bronze and Iron Ages, the confluence of the Rios Sar and Ulla may have been an important liminal space, as people consigned weapons and other metal...
The Materiality of Cultural Resilience: The Archaeology of Struggle and Transformation in Post-famine Ireland (2018)
Cultural resilience or collapse has been the focus for the study of prehistoric and proto-historic societies. Little, if any work in historical archaeology, or the archaeology of the modern world, has linked the impact of traumatic natural events and social, economic, and political structures to how cultural groups respond. In this paper, cultural resilience theory is employed to discuss the capacity of a culture to maintain and transform its world-view, cultural identity, and critical cultural...
Materialization of social resistance: trends on NW Iberia late Prehistory and Protohistory and beyond (2017)
This paper deals with a so-called "negative" approach to social complexity and social development. Instead of understanding the arising of complex societies as a result of positive ontology, it focuses on the resistances, negations and the invisible that tried to avoid or at least to minimize social inequality and exploitation. The arising of complex societies could, alternatively, be conceived as the trend to resist social division and its generalization. The paper will show as the material...
Measuring household wealth using mound accumulation rates in Skagafjörður, North Iceland (2017)
Characterizing inter-household inequalities has long been a fundamental task of archaeology, but a fine-tuned measure of household wealth is often troubled by the inability to account for time or demographics in the archaeological record. This project tests the ways that Iceland, settled by Norse populations between A.D. 870 and 930, provides a temporally-sensitive mode of measuring household wealth through average rates of midden and architectural accumulations while also providing a context...

Measuring the Impact of Ancient Colonization in Central-West Sicily (2017)
Studies of ancient colonization in the Mediterranean have principally been concerned with assessing the "impact" of colonization: did the colonization processes of groups like the Greeks and Phoenicians make a significant impact on local native societies among whom they settled, and if so, in what ways? Important as such questions are, they have sometimes overlooked a more basic step: how do we actually measure the "impact of colonization" in the first place? This paper offers a response to that...
Meat Production and Animal Sacrifice during the Urbanization of Archaic Rome (2018)
During the Archaic period (8th-6th cent. BCE), Rome underwent rapid urbanization with concomitant social changes. This shift from modest settlement to urban center affected how animals were raised, distributed, and consumed. Namely, large-scale animal sacrifice rituals within the city acted as a new mechanism for distributing meat to the masses, provided by centralized authorities. The increased scale of animal sacrifice in the nascent city would have created new meanings to these rites and led...
Medieval Agricultural Practices in the "Champion" Region (2018)
During the early medieval state formation process, England’s political organization transformed from localized tribal groups to large and consolidated kingdoms. Farmers at early medieval settlements experienced a related increase in agricultural production demands, and they introduced improved agricultural technology such as replacing the light ard with the heavier moldboard plow. The midlands counties (commonly referred to as the core of the "Central Province" or "Champion" region) are often...
Medieval Archaeology as Historical Archaeology, or Why Anthropological Archaeologists Should Take the European Middle Ages Seriously (2024)
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. Though by strict definition the study of any literate society might be considered “historical archaeology,” in practice American historical archaeologists largely focus on the centuries after 1492—in other words, the archaeology of the modern world. But modernity was not immaculately conceived;...
The medieval Basque iron industry, cultural traits in technological traditions (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Movement of Technical Knowledge: Cross-Craft Perspectives on Mobility and Knowledge in Production Technologies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Basquesmith project investigates ironworking production during Early Medieval times ‒mostly utilitarian iron implements such as ladles or keys‒ excavated in rural settlements in the Basque Country (northern Spain), focusing on the characterisation of the manufacture...
Medieval fishweirs in Britain and Ireland: exploring practice, power, and identity amongst fishing communities (2017)
Medieval wooden and stone fishweirs are amongst the most spectacularly preserved evidence for fishing practices amongst riverine and estuarine communities in Britain and Ireland. Recent archaeological surveys and excavations have traced their types of construction, forms, uses and biographies across time, and increasingly sophisticated means of dating them has enabled us to identify patterns in their repair over relatively short periods of time (i.e. years and decades). This paper will use...
Medieval Medicine Board Game: Saving Ancient Studies (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Digitizing Archaeological Practice: Education and Outreach in the Archaeogaming Subdiscipline" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Archaeogaming Team at SASA turns games into the backdrop of history; this project loops full circle, turning history into a game. Born as support material to an AEM that explores the history of medieval medicine, this game is meant to familiarize the players with relevant vocabulary and...
A megalithic cemetery with a cult house in early Neolithic Denmark (2017)
The paper presents a study of a small cluster of three megalithic tombs and a cult house at Tustrup, Jutland, dating from the period of the first farmers in Denmark during the Funnel Beaker period about 3300-3100 BC. The history of this group of monuments is pieced together using the architecture and the building sequence of the monuments combined with events reflected in the pottery depositions. New insights are discussed in relation to the pottery depositions taking place at the tombs as well...
