Altica and the Role of Middlemen in Formative Obsidian Exchange (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nadia Johnson. Kenneth Hirth.

Altica’s location, in the Patlachique Range 10 km away from the Otumba obsidian source, suggests a potentially significant role in the distribution of Otumba obsidian. Altica may have served as an important middleman and processing site in Formative obsidian exchange, but a greater understanding of the nature of these exchange relationships is required to define this role. This paper combines geochemical sourcing and technological data from obsidian from nine Early and Middle Formative sites,...


Ancient Maya Craft Specialization in the Belize Valley (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelsey Sullivan. Jaime J. Awe.

Archaeological investigations during the last 20 years in Western Belize has recorded considerable evidence of craft specialization in this lowland Maya sub-region. Much of this information, however, has never been synthesized, thus providing us with a foggy lens through which to view the complexity of craft production, distribution and interaction at the intra- and inter-regional level. In an effort to address this situation, this paper examines different types of craft specialization in the...

Artisan Communities, Regional Interaction, and Identity in Eastern Honduras (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Virginia Ochoa-Winemiller.

This is an abstract from the "Centralizing Central America: New Evidence, Fresh Perspectives, and Working on New Paradigms" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper discusses the role that two distinctive artisan communities from Eastern Honduras, El Chichicaste and Dos Quebradas, played as producers of pottery and obsidian blades within local and interregional exchange networks. Analysis of pottery, obsidian, and settlement patterns from both...


Before Teotihuacan: The Origins of Complex Society in the Northeast Basin of Mexico (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Deborah Nichols. Wesley Stoner.

Teotihuacan grew explosively ca. 100 BC to become the most influential city in Mesoamerica. For several decades little research has been directed toward understanding the origins of complex society in the Teotihuacan Valley. Recent archaeological investigations at the Early-Middle Formative site of Altica provide a fresh perspective on dating the initial establishment of agricultural villages, early social and economic differentiation, and the development of intra-and inter-regional exchange...

The Best of All Worlds: Exploring exchange and interaction with Nicoyan, Caribbean Costa Rican and Panamanian societies at the Southern Costa Rican site of El Cholo. (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Roberto Herrera.

Recent work at the mid to late Formative site of El Cholo reveals that from at least the 3rd century AD, occupants of this mound complex interacted with Costa Rican Caribbean watershed social groups as well as western Panamanian Chiriquí societies. Evidence also demonstrates contact from as far north as the Guanacaste Nicoya region in place by the 10th or 11th centuries AD. Further analysis of the site suggests that interaction was likely initially predicated on trans-cordilleran ethnic and...


Centers of Exchange: Comparing Virginia's Northern Neck and Maryland's Potomac Valley (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Caitlin E Hall.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "A Land Unto Itself: Virginia's Northern Neck, Colonialism, And The Early Atlantic", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since 2016, more than 20 Indigenous sites have been tested in the Northern Neck. Two sites, Baylor and Camden, stand out for the thousands of Indigenous ceramics present. A trend seen nowhere else in the Northern Neck, it is seen at Posey, a site along the Potomac in Maryland. This paper...


Ceramics of La Florida-Namaan: a Preliminary Report (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joanne Baron. Liliana Padilla. Christopher Martinez. Arielle Pierson.

The Guatemalan archaeological site of La Florida, located on the San Pedro River near the Mexican border, was home to the Classic Maya polity known as Namaan. Hieroglyphic inscriptions from La Florida and elsewhere reveal the polity’s widespread political contacts with sites in western Peten, Tabasco, and beyond, as well as a dynastic history spanning three centuries. While known to archaeologists since 1943, the site has only recently been the subject of a multi-year research project. In this...


Chumash Watercraft, Maritime Exchange, and Sociopolitical Complexity (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only John Johnson.

This is an abstract from the "AD 1150 to the Present: Ancient Political Economy to Contemporary Materiality—Archaeological Anthropology in Honor of Jeanne E. Arnold" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Jeanne Arnold explored the relationship between advanced boat technology and sociopolitical complexity in her research and in many publications. She investigated the origins of the Chumash tomol (plank canoe) and emphasized its key role in facilitating...


Commodities and Curiosities: Colonial Botany at Jamestown (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sierra S. Roark.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Opening the Vault: What Collections Can Say About Jamestown’s Global Trade Network", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Plants played an integral role in the colonization of North America. When colonists and investors realized that gold and other precious metals would not be viable for export, they turned their attention to other natural resources. It was in plants that the colonists found the answers to...


Connected Kilns: Examining interconnections of Trade in Southern China and the Philippines using LA-ICP-MS (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rory Dennison.

This research, part of an ongoing dissertation project, examines a network of maritime trade between imperial China and Southeast Asia by considering issues of both production and distribution through the comparison of the chemical signatures of paste from porcelain samples obtained through Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (LA-ICP-MS). Porcelain samples have been collected in the Philippines, and porcelain and clay samples have been collected from kiln and habitation...

Early Historic Overseas Exchanges in Tamra, Jeju (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Chang-Hwa Kang.

Overseas exchanges are a key interest in Jeju archaeology as several sites there document intricate networks in early historical periods. The term "Tamra" is first appeared in the "Samguk Sagi (History of the Three Kingdom, 1145)," and is widely believed to refer political entities in Jeju. In archaeology, "Tamra" often refers to the period from c. 200 BC to AD 1105, and if further divided into three phases. The Tamra Formation period (200 BC–AD 200) marks a population increase and increasing...


Esnesv Stories: Muskogee Oral Traditions, Trader-Diplomats, and Sacred Landscapes (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lee Bloch.

It has long been obvious to archaeologists that Mississippian and Woodland mound centers in Southeastern and Midwestern United States were parts of large-scale regional exchange networks. However, modeling how goods moved from point A to point B remains more troublesome. Do these goods represent direct or down the line exchange? Do they represent a shared ceremonial complex or loose connections between very different complexes? Oral traditions maintained by a descendant Muskogee (Creek) tribal...


Examining Sources of Glazed Ceramics In Mesopotamia in Late Antiquity (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only David Hill. Jan Petrík. Karel Novácek. Ali Ismail Al-Juboury.

This is an abstract from the "Cross-Cultural Petrographic Studies of Ceramic Traditions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Estimation of provenance in fine ceramics is a challenging task. Documenting the trade in glazed Sassanian and Islamic ceramics into southeast Asia and China has driven an interest in identifying the sources of these ceramics. We have defined three hypothetical provenance groups 1) Greater and Lesser Zab catchment (Arbil area),...
