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...

Expansion Modeling and Dating the Ifugao Agricultural Terrace Systems Through Volumetric Analysis and Energetic Modeling (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jared Koller. Stephen Acabado.

This is an abstract from the "Geospatial Studies in the Archaeology of Oceania" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological dating of agricultural terraces is complicated due to the nature of its technological foundation and use. Various methods have been proposed for dating agricultural features, but the issue of stratigraphic disturbance persists. In this paper, we highlight our work in the UNESCO-listed Ifugao Rice Terraces as a case study to...

Experiencing Foodways and Community in Southeast Asian Archaeology (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michelle Eusebio.

This is an abstract from the "Thinking about Eating: Theorizing Foodways in Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The cultural aspects of science and technology—the science, culture, and art in everyday life—can be demonstrated through food and foodways.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joyce White.

This is an abstract from the "Paradigms Shift: New Interpretations in Mainland Southeast Asian Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. After decades of archaeologists interpreting Thailand’s metal age development using top down approaches drawn from 1980s archaeological theory, it has become evident they do not work for this region. During the course of interpreting metal assemblages from Ban Chiang and related sites in northeast Thailand,...

Exploring the Emergence of the Dian (Shizhaishan) Culture: a view from settlement study (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Xiaohong Wu. TzeHuey Chiou-Peng.

This is an abstract from the "Recent Research on Early Chinese Borderland Cultures and Archaeological Materials" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As archaeological data from settlement sites of eastern Yunnan were largely absent until very recently, the Bronze Age culture in the area was interpreted through materials taken from burials around Lake Dian and nearby regions. These mortuary data provide a picture of socially stratified and materially...

The External Connections of the Yingpanshan Site Cluster in Western Sichuan, China (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kuei-chen Lin. Chengyi Lee.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Previous studies suggest that both painted pottery vessels and certain kinds of cereals, such as millets, were introduced to the Upper Min River from the north due to the expansion of the Neolithic cultures in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, during the fourth millennium BC. By investigating related ceramic samples and human and animal teeth and bones...

The First East-West Dichotomy? (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Clinnick.

Hallam Movius proposed that the Lower Palaeolithic cultures of East Asia and SE Asia were derived from a different cultural trajectory than that of Europe and Africa. The chopper-chopping tool complex of East and SE Asia was argued to be more primitive in many aspects. The type-site assemblages of the Pacitanian and Tampanian cultures are two out of only five assemblages that Movius initially used to define the chopper-chopping tool complex. The Pacitanian was first discovered by Michael Tweedie...
