Wo sind die Retorten? Gedanken zur allotherment Herstellung von Birkenpech (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andreas Kurzweil. Jürgen Weiner.

There is proof that birch pitch has already been used 200 000 years ago. Its basic production method was tangible only since historical times, but deeper knowledge concerning the transformation of birch bark into pitch is still missing. Until now Experimental Archaeology showed that it was possible to produce birch pitch by autothermal processing. In the present paper a method of birch pitch production is proposed by employing allothermal processing in combination with the use of (one way)...

Women in small-scale societies: how demographic archaeology can contribute to gender archaeology (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer French.

Demography has re-emerged as a growing research area within archaeology. Recent studies have refined archaeological demographic methods and developed models which cite demographic change as a key variable in explaining social and artefactual change. However, one aspect which has not been explicitly acknowledged is how archaeological demography is intrinsically concerned with women. In this paper I explain the importance of women to the demographic regimes of small-scale societies and discuss...

Woodhenges in Northwest Europe (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Timothy Darvill.

This is an abstract from the "Monumental Surveys: New Insights from Landscape-Scale Geophysics" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Circles, variously of wood and stone, are a major feature of the ceremonial centres dating to the third and early second millennia BC in northwest Europe. Some, such as Stonehenge, are very well known and complicated in their design and layout. Many others are more modest in scale and form. Geophysical surveys and...

Words for domestic animals used as metaphors in coastal naming (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Inge Særheim.

Place-names are important sources to understand and reimagine past conceptions of the landscape. Toponyms map animal lives on to the landscape. In some cases, however, words for animals – wild as well as domestic – are used as metaphors. In some names denoting sunken rocks along the Norwegian coast, e.g. Sugga (’sow’), Oksa (‘bull’), Hesten (’horse’), Porthunden (‘watchdog’), the words either refer to the shape or sound of the locations, or to some special circumstances, e.g. dangerous rocks in...

The work space of the British planter class, 1770 – 1830 (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christer Petley.

Focusing on Jamaica, the largest and most prosperous eighteenth-century British sugar colony, this paper will analyse the work space of wealthy Caribbean planters within a wider British-Atlantic context. The letters and probate inventory of Simon Taylor (1738-1813), one of the wealthiest sugar planters of his generation, will provide the main basis for the paper, which will analyse two aspects of the world of the planters and their perceptions of it. First, it will examine where plantation...

Working for the Dead: The Role of Gravediggers and Their Impact on Burial Practices as Evidence in Transylvanian, Hungarian-Szekler Communities (AD 1050–1800) (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carlos Silva Carvalho. Cameron Ashford Privette. Lauren Reinman. Katie Zejdlik. Zsolt Nyárádi.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Parker-Pearson’s (1999) oft cited phrase, “the dead do not bury themselves,” has led to decades of broad investigation surrounding the created social perception of an individual in different contexts and at different scales (family, military, celebrity). However, little research exists on the last individual to physically place the dead. Gravediggers have...

Working on the Margins of the Modern World and Within Archaeology: The Historical Archaeology of Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentith-Century Ireland (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen Brighton.

In Ireland, historical, post-medieval, or modern world archaeology as a discipline is located on the margins. The time period and material comprising our research is argued by many to be relevant only to the pursuits of historians and folk studies. In this paper I discuss the importance and relevance of a discipline on the margins and the study of Ireland’s impoverished class during the last decades of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This marks one of the most dynamic periods in Ireland’s...

Working with indigenous (descendant) communities and the study of Roman Britain (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Hingley.

This paper explores the meaning of the Roman past to people in Britain. The imperial context of Roman studies has been interrogated for almost two decades and alternative, more-critically-based, accounts of the impact of Roman upon Britain have been produced. The popular media, however, often portrays the Roman intervention in Britain as having granted material progress to barbarian Britons through the gift of Roman civilization. These arguments tend to divide specialists from the broader...

Working-class culture in the urban landscape of twentieth-century Sheffield (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Fennelly.

This paper will examine the legacy of early twentieth-century working-class cultural practice encoded within the archaeology of the post-industrial landscape of Sheffield, in the United Kingdom. Sheffield was a booming industrial city, specialising in the metal trades, which underwent a considerable building boom towards the end of the nineteenth century. The north-city suburb of Firth Park saw the rapid expansion of domestic housing stock and the opening of Sheffield’s first public park in this...

World Heritage and Industrial Archaeology on Minions Moor: Cars, Cattle and Commoners (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hilary Orange.

Tin and copper mining on Minions Moor (Cornwall, England) was a relatively brief interlude in the traditional economy of the moor, which is largely based around grazing. In 1836 rich reserves of copper were discovered here, leading to mass immigration and the development of moorland settlements. The ensuing mining boom turned to bust after only 40 years. As the industrial wasteland began to green-over grazing practices were gradually reintroduced. The moor today is commonly seen as a ‘natural’...
