Religious belief and cooperation in Viking societies (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Collard. Ben Raffield. Neil Price.

It has become clear in recent years that it was not uncommon for Viking groups to be heterogeneous. Numerous studies carried out over the last 25 years indicate that, in the short term at least, sociocultural diversity has a negative impact on trust within communities, and that this leads to a reduction in the willingness of community members to support public projects. Thus, one issue raised by the discovery that many Viking groups were heterogeneous is how loyalty to the group was achieved. In...

The Religious Landscape of Barbados Quakerism (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John Chenoweth.

Considering its size and the historical interest it has sparked, remarkably few physical or documentary traces of the Religious Society of Friends ("Quakers") in Barbados survive. This paper combines data from a 2016 reconnaissance of Quaker-related sites on the island with a GIS analysis of these landmarks, high resolution satellite imagery, and a 1675 map of the island in order to consider the relationship of the Quaker community to the Barbadian landscape, both social and physical. The...

Religious Subjects and Gendered Transformations at the Native American City of Cahokia (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Baltus. Sarah Baires. Timothy Pauketat.

Though processes of subjectification are continuously ongoing, there are moments when powers coalesce in particular persons, places, or objects and bring about pervasive transformations. We explore these moments through gendered divisions of key religious spaces, objects, and practices at the Native American city of Cahokia and other early Mississippian places. Through cosmological oppositions, these spaces, objects and practices both created balance and fomented politico-religious...

Religious Symbolism In Eastern California Ghost Dance Rock Paintings (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alan Garfinkel Gold. Geron Marcom. Don Austin.

There exists multi-colored, historic Native American rock paintings found throughout eastern California. In a minimum of 21 locations, Native, indigenous, polychromatic rock paintings have been documented that apparently date to a time period between 1870 and 1900 (Schiffman et al. 1983; Garfinkel 1978, 1982, 2005, 2007). These rock painting sites exhibit subject matter that may relate to revitalistic religious movements popular during this short 30 year time frame. Such paintings have been...

Research with an Agenda: Creationist Media on Archaeological Discoveries (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Krystal Hammond.

Young Earth creationists view the natural world in a manner far different from the average anthropologist. Very little secular media support a Young Earth creationist perspective. Therefore, pursuant to conveying the world in a manner that is in keeping with their worldview, Young Earth creationists have produced magazines and other forms of media that specifically address science and theological topics relating to the age of the earth as well as archaeological finds relevant to the veracity of...

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation acquired and...

Ritual and Rag Trees in Contemporary Ireland (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer Shaffer Foster.

In Celtic countries, early Christianity was syncretized with pre-existing religious beliefs and rituals, some of which were maintained and modified through the centuries, while others were subsequently adopted but understood as ancient or essential. One ritual practice inhabiting the border of Christian and non-Christian tradition is seen in the Irish rag tree, a hawthorn with strips of cloth hanging from the branches, often located at holy wells or other Early Medieval ecclesiastical sites....

Scandinavian Colonialism in Sápmi and Sámi Archaeology in Scandinavia - Archaeological Perspectives on Northern Colonial Landscapes and Sámi Religion in the 17th and 18th Centuries (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carl-Gösta Ojala.

Throughout the history of archaeology, the Sámi - the indigenous people in northernmost Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia - have been treated as the "Others", in relation to the national identities and histories. In recent decades, however, a field of Sámi archaeology has emerged, parallel with Sámi ethnic and cultural revitalization movements. Today, archaeologists in Sápmi face many ethical and political challenges, including conflicts over land and cultural...

Scioto Hopewell Concepts of Soul-Like Essences in Humans: Mortuary Evidence in Light of Historic Woodland and Plains Native American Concepts (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Heather Smyth. Christopher Carr.

Scioto Hopewell conceptions of soul-like essences in humans are evident in the systematic placements of grave goods of particular kinds at particular bodily locations of inhumations, and with insights from comparative information on historic Woodland and Plains Native Americans. Analysis of 284 burials from 11 Scioto Hopewell cemeteries indicates a recognition of one "free" journeying soul and multiple "body" souls; their bodily residences, locations of exit upon death, and likely directions...

This is a groundbreaking analysis of the relationship between culture and technology. Dorothy Hosler, an archaeologist, metallurgist, and anthropologist, shows how the methods of materials science, augmented by archaeological and other sources of data, can be used to illuminate historical puzzles such as the origins of the unique metallurgy developed in West Mexico between the seventh and sixteenth centuries. Hosler traces the roots of this technology to Central and South America and...

Stone Circles of Chaco Canyon, Northwestern New Mexico (1978)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Thomas C. Windes.

In the summer of l972, the Chaco Center, a research facility of the National Park Service and the University of New Mexico, implemented a proposal to intensively survey the 32 square miles composing Chaco Canyon National Monument. During the course of this survey a number of unusual sites for which there had been little previous documentation were recorded. A limited number of these sites were later classified as shrines belonging to a visual-communications network, skillfully placed to link...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel L Matheny. Annaliese Dempsey.

This is an abstract from the "Current Research in Maritime Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Seafarers have long been associated with ritual and superstition. Maritime ritual in Antiquity was often rooted in religion, as sailors for instance offered libations to the gods for a safe voyage. In the early modern period, however, seafaring cultural practices were characterized as superstitious, and the ritualized activities on board...
