Toward a social archaeology of food in later Newfoundland pre/history (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Donald Holly.

Archaeologists have long been interested in understanding and modelling subarctic hunter-gatherer subsistence strategies. Traditionally, much of this work has relied on the ethnographic record for analogy and sought to situate forager decision making processes in terms of the calculus of optimal foraging and adaptations to the natural environment. While useful, these approaches risk flattening pre/historic subsistence strategies to the point of timelessness and minimizing the social and cultural...

Towards an Archaeology of Prows - An Ontological Approach to Geoglyphs and Petroglyphs in the North European Bronze Age (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joakim Goldhahn.

This paper will explore the relationship between animated boat prows in different stone media - petroglyphs and geoglyphs - from an ontological perspective. It explores chronological changes in these media and argues for both similarities and differences in how stones participated in unfolding peoples' life-worlds or worldings during the north European Bronze Age.

Understanding the “Local Scale” in Pictish Landscape Research (Northern Scotland, 300–900 CE) (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel Hansen.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The material record of Late Antique and Early Medieval northeastern Britain (ca. 300–900 CE) consists largely of monuments and obtrusive settlements attributed to the people known as the Picts. While features of the landscape from this period, such as the distinctive Pictish symbol stones, have been studied both in isolation and with respect to their...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Helle Juel Jensen.

"Untangling the timbers": New Perspectives on Birnirk Architecture in Northwestern Alaska (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Claire Alix. Owen Mason. Lauren Norman.

Birnirk culture is well-known for driftwood structures that were repeatedly re-assembled to form low mounds. The structures were "hopeless tangle[s] of logs" to pioneering 1930s archaeologists whose reports lack details on construction techniques. Birnirk houses diverge from the preceding Old Bering Sea and later Thule single room houses with lengthy entrance tunnels. Our 2016 fieldwork "followed the wood," employing enhanced photography within two exceptionally preserved houses at Cape...

The UpNorth Project: Environment Context of Late and Final Palaeolithic Dispersals (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rhiannon Stevens. Hazel Reade. Sophy Charlton. Jennifer Tripp.

Human mobility and environmental interactions at the end of the Palaeolithic were undoubtedly influenced by large-scale and rapid climate change. With the melting of ice sheets and expansion/contraction of ecosystems, new landscapes and resources became available to late and final Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers. The UP-NORTH project is examining the dispersal of people and animals into Northern Europe after the Last Glacial Maximum. Using a range of techniques, including stable isotopes,...

The Use and Benefit of Integrated Geophysical Survey in the Study of an Irish Early Medieval Site Rath Maol (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Brody. Andrew Bair.

This is an abstract from the "The State of the Art in Medieval European Archaeology: New Discoveries, Future Directions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper addresses the value of an integrated geophysical survey approach, which includes the application of GPR, DGPS, and magnetic gradiometry, to identify archaeological areas of occupation non-invasively. This approach was applied to RathMaol, as part of a larger ongoing research project,...

These analyses were aimed at individuals spanning the Early Mesolithic to the Middle Neolithic Pitted...

Using Multidimensional Analysis for the Presentation of Zooarchaeological Data (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas Ryan.

Management and dissemination of data has long been a challenge for archaeologists, and this challenge has increased in recent years with demands from various funding agencies for data management plans. Additionally, querying the complex datasets generated often results in iterative rounds of SQL code creation as each answer raises further questions. Online analytical processing (OLAP), a tool for multi-dimensional analysis used by many private companies for reporting, management, and...

The Viking Age Settlement of Iceland: The Change from Migrant Society to Settled Society (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John Steinberg.

The rapid settlement of Iceland has a distinct beginning, but defining the end of the settlement turns out to be difficult. While there are anecdotal stories of earlier settlers, the beginning of large-scale migration to Iceland seems to happen in about AD 870, at the start of Harald Fairhair’s reign, and the time of a distinct volcanic ash layer. The landnám, or land-grab is an important template for our understanding of movements into new landscapes, from the Neolithic Revolution, to the...
