This is an abstract from the "Etruscan Centralization to Medieval Marginalization: Shifts in Settlement and Mortuary Traditions at San Giuliano, Italy" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The San Giuliano Archaeological Research Project (SGARP) excavates a site in Lazio, Italy, known as San Giuliano. The medieval component of the San Giuliano site is a local manifestation of the widespread, but still poorly understood “*incastellamento” process (the...

This is an abstract from the "Recent Research on the Paleolithic in the Mediterranean Region" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For a long time, underwater archeology has complemented the image of the past in different periods ranging from prehistory to the Industrial Age. In some regions, such as the Adriatic, it focused primarily on Greek and Roman periods, and on shipwrecks, while research on prehistoric sites has been rare but recently...

Cattle played a critical role in the economic and socio-political structure of the Iron Age in Ireland, yet the nature of this relationship is not yet clear. The Irish Iron Age (~500 BC - AD 500) is characterized by scant settlement evidence yet with several large, complex, ceremonial centers. It has been difficult, therefore, to contextualize the nature of social change leading into the Early Medieval Period. The Early Medieval Period (~ AD 500-1100), emerged with a fully-developed dairying...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological studies of institutions have had varying degrees of success in moving beyond the intentions of their builders - and their often-imposed material culture - to understand how the inhabitants lived in and experienced them. Our overarching interest in analyzing, recording and interpreting material remains can sometimes prevent us from moving beyond...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Lisbon, The Tagus And The Global Navigation", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On early modern age Tagus bar became an important transition point between river and ocean navigation for ships coming from all parts of the world. The research carried out there since 2018 included the monitoring of Bugio 1 (c. 1700) and the prospection of a large area. This work allowed us to record other contexts, with a material...

What factors influenced non-agricultural production in prehistory? This has long been a topic of debate in prehistoric archaeology, because it relates to the question of whether people in prehistoric societies had ‘economic’ motivations and what those might have been. The paper presents the first results of the NEOMINE project, which is analyzing the evidence for stone quarrying and flint-mining and the factors affecting consumption of their products by Neolithic early farming communities in...

This is an abstract from the "Making Historical Archaeology Matter: Rethinking an Engaged Archaeology of Nineteenth- to Twenty-First-Century Rural Communities of Western Ireland and Southern Italy" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Small rural towns throughout Italy struggle with declining populations, and many sell houses for extraordinarily little money to lure people to become residents and invest in these communities. The Bova Marina...

In addressing the problem of burning libraries, this paper focuses on sustainable heritage through public awareness and civic engagement. Political rhetoric and limited first-hand experience has created a system whereby the impacts of climate change, coastal erosion, and rising sea levels are no longer a priority; and for students, it has become but a distant concern. This paper addresses these problems through education programs designed to (i) get students involved in the archaeology of...

The site of Swandro is on the eroding coastal fringe of the island of Rousay, Orkney and has been the focus of field training for the next archaeological generation between the University of Bradford, Archaeological Institute UHI and Hunter College, CUNY since 2010. Such sites are a finite resource, endangered by coastal erosion exacerbated by the effects of climate change. The site straddles both the shore and the land and consists of a Neolithic Chambered Cairn and a later settlement dating...

In the field of graphic activity, the recent Magdalenian (14,500-11,500 BP) is characterized by a homogenizing process along a vast territory in southwestern Europe. It also represents the most splendorous rock art period and, at its end, figurative graphic activity suddenly disappears from Europe for millennia. A representative assemblage of recent Cantabrian Magdalenian rock art sites has been studied. The results of this research led to the discovery of several unpublished figures and...

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Anna Kerttula had the vision and commitment to support an experiment: two interdisciplinary research teams working in dramatically different settings, striving to find valuable insights from cross-region, cross-case studies. One team from the North Atlantic islands (NABO) and another from the US Southwest (LTVTP) combined...

This is an abstract from the "The Late Middle Paleolithic in the Western Balkans: Results from Recent Excavations at Crvena Stijena, Montenegro" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The excavations at Crvena Stijena from 2017–2022 have had two main objectives. The first is to test the Sandgathe/Dibble hypothesis that Neanderthals did not have the ability to make fire; rather, they were dependent on natural occurrences of fire. The testable implication...

Nuraghi, the famous dry-stone walled towers of Sardinia, are usually just regarded as prehistoric monuments of the Bronze Age. They continued to be inhabited long after, however, and were transformed into often substantial settlements of later periods. Nuraghi are key sites for the investigation of the colonial encounters and cultural interactions between local Sardinians, Phoenician traders and Punic settlers, because they are the only places that were continuously inhabited before and during...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Close to 160 years of investigation at the Muge shell middens (Central Portugal) have revealed more than 300 Mesolithic human skeletons. Most of these burials were identified during the earliest excavations, and thus most of them have insoluble problems of associated materials, provenance, stratigraphy, and chronology. Since 2008 our team has been...

This is an abstract from the "Human Interactions with Extinct Fauna" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Late Glacial hunters in northern Europe made heavy flint arrow armatures that resemble modern broadhead hunting arrows. These were used for hunting reindeer, as a number of instances of such arrows lodged in reindeer bones testify. With the spread of forests new animals appeared, among them aurochs. In several instances auroch skeletons have been...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Hierarchical models of political and economic organization still pervade the scholarship of complex societies in the Bronze Age Mediterranean. This is especially the case for those societies such as Late Bronze Age Greece identified as “palatial” in which the palace and its officials are accorded near complete control over the economy. There is much...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeobotanical results from a coastal 4th c. BC city and from a 2nd c. BC farmstead located 6 km away demonstrate two different agricultural strategies employed in coastal Thrace. While both sites show a reliance on cereals, the 2nd c. farmstead also contains substantial evidence for the cultivation of bitter vetch, lentils, and chickpeas, as well as...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Gravettian is a slice of human history that takes place during prehistory from 32 to 22 ka BP in Europe (from the Urals to the south of the Iberian Peninsula). This long period of our history was mostly built on lithic industries models with limited consideration for evidence of other technical and cultural practices, like coloring materials. Based on the...

This study addresses the influences that culture and ethnicity have on dietary patterns, specifically looking at the variances in food culture amongst the myriad of ethnicities comprising the ranks of the Roman Britain auxiliary troops. The following research correlates ethnic identity with food culture by analysing the variances in archaeological food remains from 15 Roman forts garrisoned by auxiliary troops and comparing these variances to other published archaeological work from throughout...
