Experimental Identification of Heat-Treated Silcrete Using Colorimetry and Reflectance Spectrophotometry (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John Murray. Scott Keohane. Andrew Zipkin.

This is an abstract from the "Human Origins Migration and Evolution Research Consortium Poster Symposium" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The heat treatment of stone for tool production represents one of the oldest technologies for transforming the material properties of a natural product to better suit human needs. The earliest evidence for such technology is the heat treatment of silcrete at the South African Middle Stone Age site Pinnacle Point...

Experimental Iron Smelting at Meroe, Sudan (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Charlton. Jane Humphris.

The Royal City of Meroe, situated 250km north of Khartoum in the Republic of Sudan, was a capital of the Kingdom of Kush from the 4th Century BC. Famed for its pyramids and other monumental architecture, Meroe was also home to extensive bloomery ironworks exemplified by numerous slag mounds scattered across the site. Superficial investigation of furnace and slag remains were undertaken in the 1980’s and raised numerous questions about the technology. New archaeometallurgical research was...

Experiments in Egyptian Archaeology, Stoneworking Technology in Ancient Egypt (2010)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Denys A Stocks. Mark Lehner.

We all stand in awe at the achievements of the Egyptians, at their pyramids, sarcophagi, intricate jewellery and so on, but rarely give a thought to how they actually produced these monuments and objects. With a background in mechanical engineering Denys Stocks has reconstructed and replicated two hundred tools that are found in archaeological contexts or are preserved in pictorial evidence. This book draws on this experimental work to discern the development of Egyptian tools and techniques...

Experiments in Stone-Flaking Design Space and Implications for Social Learning Models (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Moore.

Social learning by modern humans led to the repetition and persistence of stone tool forms we see in the recent archaeological record. The emergence of similar patterning in early hominin assemblages is often assumed to track the beginnings of social learning. Less clear is what was being socially transmitted during this early period. One possibility is that hominins learned how to make objects according to a shared ‘mental template’. A second possibility is that specific sequences were learned,...

Exploitation of Canarium versus African Oil Palm by Ancient Hunter-Gatherers in Tropical Africa (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicolette Edwards.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Numerous oleaginous (oil-producing) tree species exist across tropical Africa. Indigenous populations both past and present used many of these species in a variety of ways including for fuel, cooking, medicinal, and cosmetic purposes. Current emphasis in the literature is often placed on the importance of E. guineensis (African oil palm) likely due to it being...

Exploring Characteristics of Sustainable Coastal Exploitation during the Middle and Later Stone Ages in South Africa through Fish Bones and Seal Teeth (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Asia Alsgaard. Karen van Niekerk. Carin Andersson. Mimi E. Lam.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This interdisciplinary research project investigates both the emergence and defining characteristics of sustainable coastal exploitation. The southern coast of South Africa has the longest history of sustained coastal exploitation globally, despite rising and falling sea levels, changing coastal habitats, and variations in seasonality and temperature....

Exploring the Material Culture of the 19th Century Slave Trade in Coastal Guinea (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelly Goldberg.

As the British Navy patrolled the West African coast in an effort to enforce the cessation of the Atlantic Slave Trade beginning in the early nineteenth century, several American and European traders shifted their focus a slightly inland, establishing trading sites on the more visibly protected tidal branches of the Rio Pongo of coastal Guinea. This paper explores the material culture used and maintained by one of these establishments at the site of Gambia, considering how material consumption...

Extending Paleoanthropology with the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marc Kissel. Agustin Fuentes.

This is an abstract from the "The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Human Origins: Archaeological Perspectives" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Discerning the patterns and processes of human origins has been mostly centered on a gene-eye’s view of fitness landscapes. This interpretive structure is partiality undermined by modern biological thought that emphasizes a more holistic approach to evolution. We suggest that the broader framework of the...

DATASET Mary Prendergast.

Age data, following Silver (1969), from non-intrusive postcranial remains of domesticates at Gileodabeshta 2, Units 4 and 5 combined. Proximal metapodials and distal phalanges are excluded since these fused in the womb, and no unfused specimens were documented. I = infant; I/J = infant or juvenile; J = juvenile; J/A+ = juvenile or adult or older; A+ = adult or older

Fauna from Gileodabeshta 2 - ageing (teeth)

DATASET Mary Prendergast.

Non-intrusive teeth of domesticates at Gileodabeshta 2, Units 4 and 5 combined, that could be aged, following Grant (1982).
