Transdisciplinary Approaches to Norse Use of Marine Mammals: History, Archaeology and aDNA (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Vicki Szabo. Brenna McLeod Frasier.

Historical, literary and archaeological evidence suggests frequent use of marine mammals by the Norse across the medieval North Atlantic and Eastern Subarctic, circa 870 – 1500 CE. Written records indicate the importance of cetacean species in Norse economies from Norway to Newfoundland, but especially in medieval Iceland. Archaeological assemblages from Iceland reveal an abundance of worked and waste cetacean bone, most of which are morphologically undiagnostic. As such, details on the economic...

Transforming Marginality in Medieval Iceland: Landscape Reorganization on Hegranes, Skagafjörður (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Catlin.

Eleventh century Iceland was a period of transition. The settlement of the island two centuries earlier set off cascading environmental and landscape changes whose agricultural consequences were then evident, including deforestation, erosion, and wetland alteration. Meanwhile, the rise of a wealthy landowning class altered the economic basis of society from primarily household production towards more centralized structures of rent extraction and tenancy. On Hegranes, a region in Skagafjörður,...

Transmission of Architectural Knowledge through Agricultural Practice (2016)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Gary Shaffer.

This paper explores an example of cultural transmission from Neolithic to modern times in central and southern Italy: the passing on of architectural knowledge through agricultural practice. Excavation and analysis of wattle and daub buildings from the Stentinello period (6th and 5th millennia B.C.) of Calabria and observation of their 20th-century counterparts prompted study of the continuation of this architectural tradition. Several constructional components have multiple utility in rural...

Transport Stirrup Jars in Context: Post-palatial Politics and Social Resilience in Late Bronze Age Greece (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Trevor Van Damme.

Entanglement theory highlights the dynamic relationship between actors and the objects they create. Recent application of entanglement theory within the framework of post-collapse societies holds much promise for highlighting the role of human actors as agents of resilience. Following the collapse of the palace system in Late Bronze Age Greece (c. 1200 BCE), there were shifts in the overall settlement pattern as a result of increased mobility and innovative technologies (e.g., iron). Within...

Traveling Monastic Paths: Mobility and Religion in Medieval Ireland (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elise Alonzi.

Monasteries were powerful social institutions in early and late medieval Ireland that took drastically different forms over time. Medieval historical records, such as annals and Saints’ Lives, and archaeological data, such as the layout of monastic buildings, suggest that small communities of monks at early medieval Irish monasteries followed ascetic or austere ways of life. Contrastingly, historical and archaeological sources indicate that monks at late medieval monasteries, founded by English...

Trees and Tree Cultivation in the Prehistoric Aegean: A Synthesis of Archaeobotanical Data (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Maria Ntinou. Soultana-Maria Valamoti.

Our presentation, based on an overview of archaeobotanical data from the Aegean from the Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age, attempts a synthetic approach to the cultivation of trees. This work is part of the PLANTCULT research project funded by the European Council Research (ERC Consolidator Grant, GA 682529). As archaeobotanical data we consider the macro-remains of fruits/seeds and burnt wood from archaeological sites. In addition, we use palynological information when available. Our goals are:...

TThe Use of Shells as Personal Ornaments in Liguria during the Upper Paleolithic: A Review (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Silvia Gazzo. Fabio Negrino. Julien Riel-Salvatore.

This is an abstract from the "Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology of Liguria: Recent Research and Insights" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Personal ornaments are commonly attributed to a modern human dispersal in western Asia and Europe, representing a veritable key tool for understanding the human dispersal out of Africa. Objects loaded with symbolic meaning such as beads made from modified marine shells were largely used during the Upper Paleolithic in...

TULAR: Transculturality and Social Innovation in Proto-Etruscan Areas of Pre-Roman Italy (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carmen Esposito. Richard Madgwick. Wolfgang Müller. Stefano Benazzi.

This is an abstract from the "Integrating Isotope Analyses: The State of Play and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Human mobility has played a vital role in shaping societies, both in the past and present. From the circulation of people to the biocultural integration of individuals, these population dynamics have triggered fundamental transitions in our socio-political landscape. The early first millennium BC in Italy was marked...

Two Thousand Years of Pot-Making: Exploring Neolithic Ceramic Traditions in SW Calabria, Italy (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kostalena Michelaki. John Robb.

This poster will examine the degree to which the task of pot-making changed from the Early/Middle (ca. 5700-5000 BCE) to the Late Neolithic (ca. 5000-4000 BCE) periods in SW Calabria, Italy. We will present the manufacturing sequences of all Neolithic wares, based on the results of more than a decade of stylistic, mineralogical, and physico-chemical analyses of ceramics from the sites of Umbro Neolithic and Penitenzeria, as well as the results of laboratory and replicative experiments using...

Typological and Archaeometrical (pXRF) Study of Final Bronze Age Ceramics of Cuccuruzzu, Corsica (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Aurelien Tafani. Kewin Peche-Quilichini. Robert H. Tykot.

The construction of large stone fortresses, the casteddi, is a defining phenomenon of the Bronze Age period of the Mediterranean island of Corsica (France). However, the function and the precise chronological setting of these structures are still debated. The summer 2015 preventive intervention at the fortress of Cuccuruzzu has revealed some new information on the socio-economic context of ceramic production during the Final Bronze Age (1200-850 BC). The typological study of the material...

For the first time in this region, a long-term persistence of the phenomenon of broad spectrum dietary strategy...

Understanding Interactions Between Iron Age Polities in Cyprus through the Microscopic Lens (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Bartusewich.

This paper will address economic and political interactions of two Cypriot polities during the Iron Age prior to political transitions in about 450 BCE. Idalion is a polity in the interior, near the copper-bearing Troodos Mountains and Kition is a port town on the southern coast. These polities are separate by 20km of rolling hills and plains. By 450 BCE, Kition had obtained political control of Idalion, but there has been little research about these two urban areas interactions prior to this...

Understanding Resource Allocation and Dietary Stress through the Presence of Scurvy in Nonadults from Gać and Dzwonowo, Poland (Fourteenth to Sixteenth Centuries) (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meghan Langlois. Erin Riley.

This is an abstract from the "Life and Death in Medieval Central Europe" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As a result of the energy requirements related to growth and development, non-adults are more susceptible to biocultural change than adults, making them ideal proxies to examine environmental stress within a population. The village of Gać and town of Dzwonowo (fourteenth to sixteenth centuries) in Greater Poland provide a unique opportunity to...

Understanding Site Function and Textile Production in Southwestern Iberia (3400–2000 BCE): The Loom Weights from Perdigões (Alentejo, Portugal) (2023)
