The Struggle Was Real: The End of the Archaic and the Onset of the Intermediate Indian Period in Eastern Subarctic North America (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Donald Holly. Christopher Wolff. Stephen Hull.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The transition between the end of the Archaic and the Intermediate Indian Period in the Eastern Subarctic of North America was marked by significant changes in just about all dimensions of Amerindian life—technology, raw material use, exchange networks, social organization, architecture, burial customs, settlement patterns, and subsistence strategies. These...

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...

Upper Paleolithic Cultural Landscapes of the Selenge Tributaries, Northern Mongolia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only J. Christopher Gillam. Nicolas Zwyns. Masami Izuho. Biambaa Gunchinsuren. Guunii Lkhundev.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The distribution of Upper Paleolithic sites in northern Mongolia indicate that maintaining social networks, subsistence and shelter were all significant factors in the cultural landscapes of these ancient hunter-gatherers. In 2018, 12 new Upper Paleolithic sites were documented in the Naryn Tolberiin Gol (Narrow Tolbor River, n=21) valley of the greater...

The Warfare Paradox, or All Quiet on the Western Tennessee Valley Archaic (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only D. Shane Miller.

The complex hunter-gatherers of the Middle and Late Archaic periods in the Tennessee River Valley of the American Southeast are well-known for displaying evidence of intergroup violence, including scalping and trophy taking. On the other hand, these time periods are also known for the emergence of exchange networks centered on items including bone pins and bifaces. I argue that the co-occurrence of exchange networks and intergroup violence was likely the result of iterated "live and let live" or...

What Can We Learn from Nearly 50 Years of Accumulated Data on the Kcal Return Rates Achieved by Hunters Encountering Terrestrial Game? (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bruce Winterhalder. Eugène Morin. Douglas Bird. Rebecca Bliege Bird.

This is an abstract from the "Behavioral Ecology and Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the mid-1970s the biologist D. Griffiths proposed that body size determines prey return rates and, citing the diet breadth model, D. S. Wilson stated that the lowest-ranked prey type harvested reveals the general efficiency of the foraging economy. Archaeologists, beginning with Bayham and Anderson, quickly made use of these proposals, initiating a...

Year-round shellfish harvesting during the Middle to Late Holocene on the northwest coast Baja California (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Enah Montserrat Fonseca Ibarra. Sharon Herzka. Miguel Téllez. Miguel Santa Rosa del Río. René Vellanoweth.

Knowledge of patterns of subsistence and seasonal settlement strategies on the northwest coast of the Baja California Peninsula is still scarce. In order to identify shellfish harvesting patterns from Middle to Late Holocene, oxygen isotope determinations from 66 California mussel shells (Mytilus californianus) from three archaeological sites in the coastal area of Bajamar-Jatay were analyzed. The results suggest that mussels were collected mainly during the fall and winter seasons (63.6%);...
