Environment Research (Investigation Type)

These are studies that examine aspects of the present or past natural environment to provide a context, often off-site, for interpreting archaeological resources. Sometimes reported in stand-alone volumes representing significant research, such investigations may include geomorphological, paleontological, or palynological work.

Grain Size Analysis of Archaeological Soil Samples from Shemya Island (2006)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Jason Bressler.

This report presents the results of a sieve analyses of 43 soil samples collected from archeological and borrow sources on Shemya Island, and interpret the results.

Grand Challenges, Big Data, Fuzzy Data, and Digital Archaeology (2018)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Adam Rabinowitz.

As our generation and collection of quantitative digital data increase, so do our ambitions for extracting new insights and knowledge from those data. In recent years, those ambitions have manifested themselves in so-called “Grand Challenge” projects coordinated by academic institutions. These projects are often broadly interdisciplinary and attempt to address to major issues facing the world in the present and the future through the collection and integration of diverse types of scientific...

The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context: Case Studies in Residence and Vulnerability (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Chelsea Walter

In The Great Maya Droughts in Cultural Context, contributors reject the popularized link between societal collapse and drought in Maya civilization, arguing that a series of periodic "collapses," including the infamous Terminal Classic collapse (AD 750), were caused not solely by climate change-related droughts but by a combination of other social, political, and environmental factors. New and senior scholars of archaeology and environmental science explore the timing and intensity of droughts...

Hidden Hybrids: Camels and Cultural Blending in Ancient Near East (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2017)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Canan Cakirlar.

This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Two species from different domestication centres – the Bactrian camel from central Asia and the Dromedary from Arabia – were deliberately brought together and bred to create new, more powerful, animals. Larger than both parents and double the strength of its contributory species, the hybrid camel was the world’s first engineered hybrid transportation. Creating the hybrid camel required...


High Resolution Chronology of the Human Occupation South of Choapa Basin (31°34’ -32° S), Chile (2018)
DOCUMENT Full-Text César Méndez. Andrés Troncoso. Amalia Nuevo Delaunay. Antonio Maldonado. Daniel Pascual.

The area south of Choapa basin in Chile has long been subjected to archaeological research through scientific as well as cultural research management projects. Surveys, excavations, and sampling over these roughly 5000 km2 area has yielded over 370 radiocarbon dates plus over 120 thermoluminiscence dates (almost 0,1 dates/km2). Dates range from 30000 cal BP to modern, but the human occupation is constrained in the last 13,000 years. Such chronometric resolution allows discussing the intensity of...
