Assessing Change over Time at Kharaneh IV through the Chaîne Opératoire (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Danielle Macdonald. Lisa Maher. Theresa Barket. Naomi Martisius. Ahmad Thaher.

This is an abstract from the "Debitage Analysis: Case Studies, Successes, and Cautionary Tales" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The multicomponent Epipaleolithic site of Kharaneh IV, located in the Azraq Basin of eastern Jordan, documents over 1,000 years of occupation by hunter-gatherer groups during the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. Multiple lines of geomorphological, faunal, and archaeobotanical evidence indicate that the environs around the...

Investigating the toolkit for building a Neolithic house: microwear and the missing majority (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Annelou Van Gijn.

Many microwear studies focus on one material category. Instead we explored the technological and functional interconnectivity of different tools used in one chaîne opératoire. During the experimental reconstruction of a Late Neolithic houseplan excavated in the Dutch wetlands, we made use of a variety of implements: stone axes and adzes, bone and antler objects, and tools of wood. In total 120 tools were used for almost 20,000 minutes during the four week construction period. We recorded the...

Sales of Sail: The Production and Economy Behind Roman Sails (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Leah E Tavasi.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Filling a gap in classical maritime literature by creating an economy of sails — how much they cost, where they were made, who made them — and the implications of such an economy, a sail production line is created through the formulation and analysis of a chaîne opératoire. Through a discussion of the primary base textiles used -...

A Thousand Years of Bone-Tool Production at Shaktoolik, Alaska (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katie McHugh Bonham. Christyann M. Darwent. John Darwent.

Osseous tools and debitage collected from three middens at the Shaktoolik Airport site during excavations in the summers of 2014 and 2015 were analyzed using the chaîne opératoire rather than a typological approach to assess site use over time. Relative frequencies of raw materials, tool types, and production debris were analyzed from different periods. The Early Thule/Proto-Yup’ik portion (ca. AD 1200) of the assemblage came from a midden associated with a men’s house (qasgiq), and is...

When Trash Becomes Treasure: A Postclassic Maya Obsidian Core Cache from Nojpeten (2014)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Angela McArdle.

This paper examines an obsidian cache offering excavated near the corner of a Postclassic Maya platform structure in Nojpeten, on the island of Flores, Guatemala. The cache consists of approximately 190 obsidian prismatic blade cores and core fragments, but the original number of cores placed in the cache likely fell between 173 and 182, with a best estimate of 177, 178, or 180. The cores were found about 20 cm southwest of the structure in a circular concentration measuring approximately 35 cm...
