Provisioning World War II German Prisoner of War Camps in Chicago’s Suburbs (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Material Aspects of Global Conflict" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As Europe was being destroyed for the second time in 40 years, American cities and their hinterlands during World War II lay unscathed. The war would eventually come to Chicago’s northwest suburbs in the spring of 1945 when German prisoners of war (POWs) occupied Camp Pine, a small, repurposed labor camp in the woods in Des Plaines, Illinois. This...
Reviewing arsenical copper production in western Eurasia: new evidence from the Balkans (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeometallurgy, Eurasia and Beyond: Papers in Honor of Vince Pigott" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. <html> Copper metallurgy in the Balkans is famous for its massive copper metal implements circulating this area throughout the 5<sup>th</sup> millennium BC. The first known copper alloy, arsenical copper, occurred in the Balkan Late Chalcolithic cultures by the end of this period. However, very little evidence is...

The focus of the research is the suburban zone that would have surrounded the walled inner city...
Settlement Patterns in Eastern Central Thailand: Rescuing Historic Data to Increase the Power of Analysis (2025)
This is an abstract from the "The Social and Environmental Context for Early Metalworking in Central Thailand" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Using data from five archaeological site surveys, we examine pre-Dvaravati (pre 6th century CE) settlement patterns on the Lopburi Plain, eastern central Thailand. Surveys by Ho (1984), Mudar (1993), Onsuwan Eyre (2006), LoRAP (1988-2023), and Pryce, et al. (2013), conducted over more than three decades,...
Surviving the Crisis Years? Exploring the Bronze Age-Iron Age Transition in the South Caucasus (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeometallurgy, Eurasia and Beyond: Papers in Honor of Vince Pigott" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. From the Balkans to the Iranian Plateau, the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age was a critical period of transformation, defined by crisis, collapse, resurgence and reorganization. The South Caucasus appears an unusual exception to this broader trend, one whose significance for the broader study...
TAP’ing the Origins of Angkor: Incipient research on iron and the expansion of the Khmer Empire, Cambodia (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeometallurgy, Eurasia and Beyond: Papers in Honor of Vince Pigott" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. <html> Late 20<sup>th</sup> century metallurgical research in mainland Southeast Asia, led by the Thai Archaeological Project, spearheaded interest in the relationship between copper alloy production and increasing prehistoric social complexity (mid-2<sup>nd</sup> m to mid-1<sup>st</sup> m. BCE). Lack of prehistoric...
Technological Change Inside and Out: Temporal patterns in ceramic earthenwares from provincial Pre-Angkorian to Angkorian Cambodia (2025)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. <html> Earthenware ceramics from Pre-Angkorian and Angkorian sites in Cambodia have been generally understudied in Southeast Asia. A comprehensive analysis of the earthenware assemblage from the site of Prasat Baset in Battambang province, northwest Cambodia, is underway. Characterizations of the composition of the...
These Objects Have Seen Death: Critiquing American Archaeological Excavation Practices in Martial Law Philippines (2025)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Philippine archaeology has largely been shaped by colonial interaction, particularly by American missionaries, military members, and scholars. This imperial gaze, despite the Philippines gaining independence in 1946, has created a legacy of artifact extractivism and human objectification. During the Martial Law period (1972-1986) enacted by Ferdinand...
Tiptoeing Across the Threshold: Early Copper use and inter-regional interaction in Chalcolithic Greater Mesopotamia (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeometallurgy, Eurasia and Beyond: Papers in Honor of Vince Pigott" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The earliest evidence for copper artifacts in Northern Mesopotamia (N Syria, SE Anatolia, and N Iraq) derives from the Ubaid period and the Uruk Period. These technological developments were contemporaneous with the operation of two major economic systems of inter-regional exchange: the “Ubaid interaction sphere”...

Whereas the stoneware decorations have undergone numerous studies, the low-fired earthenware (the...
Vince Pigott's Impact on Iranian Archaeometallurgy (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeometallurgy, Eurasia and Beyond: Papers in Honor of Vince Pigott" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Iranian Plateau is widely acknowledged to be one of the original 'heartlands' of metallurgical production in the Old World, from the early adoption of native copper to the large-scale production of arsenical copper to the eventual adoption and production of iron. But our understanding of Iran's place in the...
Where Is the Horse and the Rider? Considering the Militia Horses of the Black Hawk War through a Zooarchaeological Lens (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Material Aspects of Global Conflict" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Human-animal interactions in conflict have resulted in the injuries and deaths of millions of livestock, pets, wild animals, and military animals, leading to human subsistence issues, long-term environmental impacts, and animal welfare concerns. This work focuses on human-animal interactions during the Battle of Kellogg’s Grove during the Black Hawk...
