Toward Common Ground: Racing as an Integrative Strategy in Prehistoric Central Arizona (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Will Russell. Hoski Schaafsma. Katherine Spielmann.

Throughout the Southwestern United States and Mesoamerica, indigenous peoples have used running and racing as means of religious expression, environmental control, personal sacrifi ce, and community cohesion. In such contexts , the physical location of racing w as often unimportant, and manufactured facilities were relatively rare. In the Perry Mesa region of Central Arizona, ho wever, constructed racetracks were highly formalized and elaborated. Along with their associated plazas, they represent...


Toward Slow Data in Archaeology (2016)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Eric Kansa. Sarah Whitcher Kansa.

This is a pdf copy of the PPT slides used in this presentation at the SAA symposium. Digital data play increasingly prominent roles in archaeological research. However, data tend to be considered “raw materials” that fuel scholarship and not as intellectual contributions in their own right. Most attention on “research data management” focuses on “management” where data are considered mainly through the lens of Taylorism (bureaucratic compliance, standards, incentives, and metrics). Research data...

Tracing long-distance exchange of copper in southern Africa with lead isotopes (NSF BCS 1852958)
PROJECT Uploaded by: Dave Killick

Overview: This proposal is for an interdisciplinary study of copper artefacts from multiple archaeological excavations in the southern third of the African continent; the sites that yielded these artefacts date between about 300 AD and 1850 AD. Many of these archaeological sites are a long way from any potential source of copper ore. We will undertake chemical and lead isotopic analyses of some 250 copper artefacts with the goal of identifying the parent ore deposits. To do this we will...

Tracking Dispersal and Home Range Size with Environmental and Faunal Strontium Isotopes (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2016)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Marian Hamilton.

This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. While the fossil record captures many crucial details of our evolutionary past, it does not preserve social behavior. Certain aspects of spatial landscape use, such as dispersal and home range size, have major consequences on social organization. An accurate reconstruction of landscape use by fossil hominins would therefore be an empirical proxy for otherwise-elusive social behaviors....

Transmission of Italian Architectural Knowledge through Agricultural Practice (2019)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Gary Shaffer.

In the past two decades there has been increasing archaeological research which explicitly investigates how cultural elements may be learned by individuals in new generations.
