New Methods for New Materials: Contemporary Archaeology and Coastal Plastic Pollution (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberly Wooten.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Methods for Monitoring Heritage at Risk Sites in a Rapidly Changing Environment", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As the issue of plastic pollution grows, coastal and maritime archaeological sites are increasingly being impacted by single-use plastic waste. While we can see these impacts at existing cultural resources, it is important to recognize role of plastic waste in creating entirely new, anthropogenic...

News from the Register of Professional Archaeologists-EAA Conference Review (1999)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Charles M. Niquette.

The Fifth Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) was held in Bournemouth, England, September 15th to 19th, 1999. Berle Clay and I attended as representatives of the Register of Professional Archaeologists. Presently, European archaeology is very similar to our own experiences in the middle 1970s and early 1980s, but yet it is unique and diverse in so many ways. Areas of concern to European archaeologists sound all too familiar: how to define significance, the need for...

North of the Wall: Archaeo-ecological Approaches to Scotland’s elusive Paleolithic Past (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kate Britton.

This is an abstract from the "Interdisciplinary Research into the Late Pleistocene of Europe" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For more than a century, Paleolithic Scotland was missing from the textbooks, presumed nonexistent. A low-density of archaeological finds was compounded by a research tradition that persistently excluded the possibility of human settlement at the extreme edge of north-west Europe prior to the Holocene, a situation at odds...

Oceanic Tendencies: Ritual Landscapes, Oyster Shells, and the Social Worlds of Marine Resource Exploitation in Early Medieval Britain (2024)

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. Oyster shells have been discovered across multiple sites in Britain, often as part of shell middens which have been interrupted almost exclusively as food refuse. But whether inland or by the sea, people in Britain had used oysters and other molluscs to help make their religion. Oyster shells...

On the Margins of the Marginal? Fringe Settlement and Land Use in Norse Greenland (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christian Madsen. Christian Koch Madsen. Ian Simpson. Michael Nielsen. Jette Arneborg.

Just before AD 1000 pioneer Norse hunter-farmers settled in Greenland and established what would be the extreme western outpost of Scandinavia and Europe for the next 450 years. The unexplained disappearance of this marginal medieval colony around AD 1450 has always puzzled researchers and has been proposed as a prime example of maladaptation to climatic and environmental deterioration at the onset of the ˈLittle Ice Ageˈ (LIA). As part of the Island Ecodynamics in the North Atlantic Project...

Opening Up a Can of Worms: Putting Archaeological Evidence for Intestinal Parasites in Conversation with Early Medieval Medical Manuscripts (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Brody.

This is an abstract from the "New Work in Medieval Archaeology, Part 1: Landscapes, Food, and Health" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In what ways did early medieval people of the Atlantic Archipelago encounter parasitic worms within and about their bodies, and how did these gutsy matters affect their daily lived experiences? To begin answering these questions, we should consider, alongside environmental archaeological data, textual sources in the...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Delande C. Justinvil.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Black Studies and Archaeology" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. “The despair and deplorable conditions within which the black community continued into the realm of death and burial.” While Steven J. Richardson offered these words in 1989, their essence still rings true today. Over the past decade, skeletal remains of nearly thirty individuals have been discovered underneath the 3300 Block of Q Street in...

Passing the Paleo Drug Test: Testing for Medicinal Plant Use in the Paleoethnobotanical Record (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Dwyer.

For decades, paleoethnobotanical research almost exclusively concentrated on reconstructing past subsistence economies. At 2011’s SAA conference, I presented a paper entitled, Toward A Paleoethnomedicine. I suggested that paleoethnobotanical research should take inspiration from ethnomedicine (a subfield of ethnobotany) and concentrate on analyzing past people’s healing practices and performances. This paper presents a method to operationalize this concept, a technique for analyzing...

The Past and Present Social Role of Viking Age Mounds (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Cannell. Lars Gustavsen.

This is an abstract from the "Political Geologies in the Ancient and Recent Pasts: Ontology, Knowledge, and Affect" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Jellhaug, Norway, is Scandinavia’s second largest prehistoric mound. Dating from the (pre)Viking period, it has a long history of human interaction and interpretation. Built in phases with distinct, selected, and transformed earthly materials, the mound compares with contemporary mounds in that both the...

People, Place, and Identity: Funerary Landscapes and the Development of the Early Medieval Kingdom of Northumbria (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian Buchanan. Sarah Semple. Sue Harrington.

Early medieval Britain witnessed dramatic changes to the socio-cultural landscape due to the withdrawal of Roman authority, climatic change, and the arrival of migrants from the continent and from different regions of Britain. The analytical and scientific analysis of the burial record, from a landscape perspective, allows an investigation of key questions related to the scope and nature of this migration, the development of social identity, and how portions of Britain expanded from small...

Playing at Death: A Discussion of Hnefatafl Pieces in Viking Burials (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Cartwright.

This is an abstract from the "Small Things Unforgotten" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Board games, from a psychological standpoint, have been seen as a reflection of skill, cunning, wisdom, and intelligence. Since most board games were developed in order to hone one’s skills in a certain area of life, the presence of them in graves should indicate a level of intellectual prowess. However, from an archaeological viewpoint, the presence of board...

Predatory Polities: Viking Raiding Fleets in Ninth-Century Europe (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ben Raffield.

This is an abstract from the "Beyond “Barbarians”: Dimensions of Military Organization at the Bleeding Edge of the Premodern State" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Viking Age was a time of upheaval and disruption across the northern world. Beginning in the late eighth century CE, historical documents attest to a surge of viking raiding into western Europe. By the mid-ninth century, predatory raiding fleets are recorded as operating across the...

Prehistoric Thule Whaling Societies in the Canadian Arctic; Ritual, Symbolism, and Ideology (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Savelle.

Prehistoric Thule Inuit in the Canadian Arctic were pre-eminent whalers, focussing on the bowhead whale, the largest prey species hunted by any prehistoric or historic hunter-gatherer society. The ethnographic literature provides a rich source of information dealing not only with the importance of bowheads in the diet of early historic bowhead-hunting Inuit societies, but also how social structure, ritual, symbolism and ideology were all centered on complex Thule-bowhead relationships. This...

Preliminary Insights into Prehistoric Toolstone Preference of Two Igneous Materials in the Tanana River Drainage, Interior Alaska (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brooks Lawler.

This project examines prehistoric human mobility and raw material preference for tool manufacture in the Tanana River Drainage, Interior Alaska. A geographic approach is used to investigate the distribution of prehistoric obsidian and rhyolitic artifacts in relation to the sources of these materials. The objective of the investigation is to reveal spatial patterning in the distributions of artifacts made of these two materials, relative to each other and relative to the cost of obtaining these...
