The Ritual Performance of Gift Exchange in Archaic Greece (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ivy Faulkner.

Gift exchange is most often discussed as an economic transaction. Whether goods are exchanged for social, political or cultural capital, the model for examining the practice is based on a commodity framework. However, gift exchange is also a performance, often with prescribed behaviors based on the culture and the individuals participating in the exchange. This behavior clearly falls within the realm of ritual as much as that of trade or economics. In this paper, I discuss gift exchange as a...

A River Runs through It: Tales of River Management Practices on the Great Hungarian Plain (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Danielle Riebe. Attila Gyucha. Balázs Nagy.

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Wetlands" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. People are intricately connected to the land around them, and throughout time, people have manipulated their surroundings to better fit their immediate social, cultural, economic, or subsistence needs with little to no thought about long-term environmental consequences. The Great Hungarian Plain is no exception, and during different periods in the past,...

Roads and Rivers: The Importance of Regional Transportation Networks for Early Urbanization in Central Italy (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Francesca Fulminante. Luce Prignano. Sergi Lozano. Emanuele Cozzo.

This is an abstract from the "Regional Settlement Networks Analysis: A Global Comparison" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ancient regional routes were vital for interactions between settlements and deeply influenced the development of past societies and their “complexification” (e.g., urbanization). For example, terrestrial routes required resources and inter-settlement cooperation to be established and maintained, and can be regarded as an...

Rock Art, Warfare and Long Distance Trade (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Johan Ling. Per Cornell.

For most of the twentieth century the Bronze Age rock art in Southern Scandinavia has been seen as a manifestation of an agrarian ‘cultic’ ideology in the landscape. In this context the dominant ship image and the armed humans have been perceived as abstract religious icons, not as active symbols relating to real praxis in the landscape. Whilst violence and war related social and ritual traits indeed are common features in the Scandinavian rock art from the Bronze Age and the violence on the...

The Role of Artifact Functional Analysis in Understanding Variation in the Archaeological Record: Assessments from Studies on Tool Design and Use (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joao Marreiros. Ivan Calandra. Lisa Schunk. Walter Gneisinger. Eduardo Paixao.

This is an abstract from the "Variability: A Reassessment of Its Meaning, Afforded Range, and the Relation to Process" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Understanding artifact variability observed in archaeological assemblages may untangle key dynamics marking the evolution of major human behavioral traits. Variability likely reflects technological changes allowing early hominins to respond to dynamic Pleistocene environments and evolving...

The Role of Small Dwellings in the Viking Age Settlement of Iceland (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Catlin. Douglas Bolender.

This is an abstract from the "New Work in Medieval Archaeology, Part 2: Crossing Boundaries, Materialities, and Identities" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Historical accounts of the Viking Age settlement of Iceland largely focus on the lives of elite colonists and landowners. Although these texts are clear that non-elite and enslaved individuals were present and played a critical role in the settlement of the island, archaeological researchers...

A Roman "House"?: A New Model for Understanding the Origins of the Roman Gens (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Naglak. Parrish Wright.

Debate concerning the development and origins of the Roman kinship group known as the gens has a long and contentious history. Theses questions, however, necessarily move beyond the primary textual evidence, the standard resource for such studies. Different heuristic models must be utilized to take advantage of all available data, whether it be textual, archaeological, or via ethnographic comparison. I propose the concept of a "house society" as developed by Lévi-Strauss and taken up by numerous...

Rome and cetaceans: Archaeological Evidence from the Strait of Gibraltar (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Darío Bernal-Casasola.

Over the past 10 years, bones from whales and other marine mammals have been uncovered from archaeological excavations of Roman cities around the Straits of Gibraltar (Baetica and Mauritania Tingitana coasts). The high frequency of archaeozoological remains and their location within fish-preserving contexts (cetariae) has suggested the active exploitation of cetaceans throughout the Roman Imperial period (II BC - V AD). This paper reviews the evidence from Baelo Claudia, Iulia Traducta, Septem...

Salmon Wars: Medieval through Early Modern Land Tenure and Social Change in Northern Conflict Landscapes (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only T. L. Thurston.

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Property Regimes" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Into the earlier, local common pool resource systems of Iron Age and early medieval Scandinavia, the increasingly incompatible taxation and land tenure concepts of developing state governments were imposed on Arctic and peri-Arctic populations. This paper examines the archaeological and historic record of conflicts, disputes, and uprisings that...

Saving Siglunes from the Sea (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ramona Harrison.

Siglunes is one of a series of endangered sites in N Iceland where we investigate: the emergence and long-term development of Icelandic fisheries and marine mammal hunting, the changing connections between Eyjafjörður and the larger North Atlantic trade and exchange during the Viking Age and medieval times, processes of marine erosion and its effect on archaeological sites for heritage management efforts in Iceland and the wider region. The site’s archaeological and environmental samples can...

Saving the Story of Medieval Icelandic Fishery Development: Siglunes as a Case Study (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ramona Harrison.

This is an abstract from the "Accelerating Environmental Change Threats to Cultural Heritage: Serious Challenges, Promising Responses" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The combination of deep sea fishing and dried fish production, and its distribution to inland consumers, is a distinctive and largely Nordic contribution to European diet and economy of eventual global impact in the 14th -17th centuries. One of the main questions is how and when this...

Savor Your Subsistence: Foodways at Kotið, a Small Viking Age Dwelling in Northern Iceland (2024)

Schismogenesis on the Scandinavian Peninsula during the Late Neolithic Transition (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Knut Ivar Austvoll.

This is an abstract from the "In Defense of Everything! Constructive Engagements with Graeber and Wengrow’s Provocative Contribution" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A pungent statement in *The Dawn of Everything* is that the enormous diversity in hunter-gatherer societies makes it impossible to talk about one transition to agriculture. There are several consequences to this statement. One is that hunter-gatherers did not wait for an inevitable...
