Examining Dental Wear of Mongol Period Elites from Khövsgöl Province, Northern Mongolia (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan Savoy. Ari Au.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The purpose of this study is to explore the social status and daily lives of Mongol era (twelfth to fourteenth centuries CE) “common elites.” Common elite is a general term used in this region to describe a group of high-status people that were not in the immediate lineage of Chinggis Khan. We investigated whether cultural activities such as food...

Examining Origins of Ceramic Production in Lerik, Azerbaijan (Late Iron Age to Late Antique Period): Insights from Ceramic Petrographic Analysis (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Fiore. Hannah Lau. Lara Fabian. Jeyhun Eminli. Susannah Fishman.

This is an abstract from the "New Evidence, Methods, Theories, and Challenges to Understanding Prehistoric Economies in Korea" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent archaeological excavations at the Jungdo site, Chuncheon, Korea have revealed a rare ditch-enclosed Bronze Age settlement in which more than 1,000 pit houses and 100 dolmens were found. As a large-scale complex settlement with evidence of spatial demarcation that divides the site into...

Examining Sources of Glazed Ceramics In Mesopotamia in Late Antiquity (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Hill. Jan Petrík. Karel Novácek. Ali Ismail Al-Juboury.

This is an abstract from the "Cross-Cultural Petrographic Studies of Ceramic Traditions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Estimation of provenance in fine ceramics is a challenging task. Documenting the trade in glazed Sassanian and Islamic ceramics into southeast Asia and China has driven an interest in identifying the sources of these ceramics. We have defined three hypothetical provenance groups 1) Greater and Lesser Zab catchment (Arbil area),...

Examining the Concept of Hinterland in Antiquity in Arid Regions of the Levant Using Archaeobotanical Data and GIS Analysis (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer Ramsay. Noah Haber.

Studies concerning the size of agricultural hinterlands in antiquity have generally been conducted on sites with favorable climates and have become the standard comparative tool. However, little has been examined relating to the size of a settlements hinterland in arid environments even when excellent archaeological evidence for extensive agricultural production, as can be seen in southern Jordan and Israel during the Roman and Byzantine periods. Likewise, a disproportionate focus has been...

Examining the Shift in Seed-Dispersal Mechanisms During Early Plant Domestication (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Spengler.

This is an abstract from the "Frontiers of Plant Domestication" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Scholarship is reframing the study of plant evolution under cultivation to focus on the effects of complex human harvesting practices (seed predation), increased human population size, and sedentism, while turning away from conscious human selection. Research has pointed out that parallelism in domestication is linked to seed-dispersal mechanisms, but...

Excavating Experience: Exploring Delhi’s mid-century housing through literature and streetscape survey (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sumedha Chakravarthy.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in South Asia" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. People engage with material landscapes in embodied, emotive ways. Experience is shaped not only by physical realities, but also by social positionality and individual perspective. Archaeologists often use oral history, ethnoarchaeology, or phenomenology as a means of considering human engagement with material landscapes. Literature also...

Excavation at an Early Upper Paleolithic site of the Tarvagataiin Am, Northern Mongolia (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Masami Izuho. Nicolas Zwyns. Katsuhiro Sano. Gunchinsuren Byambaa.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While early modern human dispersals occurred in Northern Eurasia around ~45–40ka ago, a cultural phenomenon often labeled as the Initial Upper Paleolithic (IUP) is identified in Central and Eastern Europe, but also in West, Central, and Northeast Asia. Despite significant progress in our understanding of the timing and routes of these population movements,...

Excavation Narratives and Reflexive Practices at Çatalhöyük (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Burcu Tung.

A microcosm in itself, The Çatalhöyük Research Project has, in one way or another, intellectually, emotionally and physically altered the lives of its members. The project ethos, in turn, has changed through time with the dynamics that surround research and managerial practices of the individuals making its body. Further the project has been part of a local landscape enduring sociopolitical changes within Turkey. As a member of the Çatalhöyük Research Project since 1997, in this paper, I reflect...

Excavations at Mingtepa, a Sogdian Town near Samarkand (2023)

This is an abstract from the "Advances and New Perspectives in Central Asian Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper presents the initial results of the excavations at Mingtepa, located ca. 20 km northeast of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. This site is presumed to be Kabudhan, a late antique and early medieval Sogdian town, attested in Chinese and Arabic sources. Mingtepa (Uzbek for “thousand hills”) covers an area of about 35 ha. On the...

Exotic beads and jar burials: social elaboration in the Old Kiyyangan Village, Ifugao, Philippines (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Madeleine Yakal.

Trade and interaction are linked to the development of social ranking among premodern societies, indications for which are seen on mortuary practices, particularly on the existence of exotic burial goods. Our excavations at Old Kiyyangan Village (OKV) in the northern Philippine highlands feature in-utero and infant ceramic jar burials with associated grave goods, primarily beads. The investigations reported in this presentation looks at the relationship between both the quality and quantity of...

Expanding frontier and building the sphere in the western deserts (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lisa Janz.

During the early and middle Holocene the deserts of Mongolia and northern China were characterized by arid grasslands and numerous lakes and wetlands. Specialized wetland exploitation defined land-use during this period, but more detailed data on subsistence is not clear. The prevalent use of microlithic technology and the lack of architectural structures underscores the presumption that these groups were highly mobile hunter-gatherers, but increasing evidence reveals that pastoralism spread...

Expanding Individual Life Histories to Large-Scale Dietary Comparisons of Early Neolithic Cemetery Populations at Lokomotiv and Shamanka II, Cis-Baikla, Siberia (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Scharlotta.

This is an abstract from the "Northeast Asian Prehistoric Hunter-Gather Lifeways: Multidisciplinary, Individual Life History Approach" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Reconstructing individual life histories using bio- and geochemical proxy records from 3-molar sequences of incremental dentin has elucidated a surprising degree of interpersonal variability amongst Early Neolithic populations in southwestern Cis-Baikal, Siberia. Previous...
