Experimental Archaeology (Other Keyword)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jayur Mehta.

In project-based learning, students are expected to be at the center of discovery, wherein educators set the parameters of inquiry with complex and engaging questions and learning happens when students gain knowledge and skills through frequent check-ins, structured lectures, and with both open-ended and guided research. Under this model, I used indigenous cultigens, agricultural cash crops, and creole gardens to guide students in learning about the complexities and nuances of prehistoric...

This poster examines the use of experimental archaeology as a teaching tool in undergraduate courses. It looks at issues relating to the design, implementation, and assessment of experimental archaeology projects in upper division courses ranging from 30 to 70 students. The case studies examined here involve group-based projects centred on topics in medieval archaeology from the University of Victoria. Methods for monitoring student projects and assessing diverse experiments will be discussed....

It has been suggested that cutting into decaying bodies occurred in the past, for instance during the cleaning or dismemberment of corpses during protracted funerary rituals. However it can be difficult to confirm the timings of such interactions, particularly for secondarily deposited bones. An experimental study was therefore conceived to test whether the frequency, location and micro-morphometric characteristics of cut marks might differ on fresh compared to decaying bodies. In order words,...

The chapter compares archaeological data with the empirical research conducted to receive results and new concepts of agriculture in the Iron Age. A major feature in this study are ards: their construction, function, and their proper use for agriculture. The experiments were conducted on fields with sown out crops of emmer and spelt. Results conclude that, beside the tools, bioclimate and geological zones were of significance in the Iron Age society of Britain.

Beginning in 2013, the CampusGalli is being built near the town of Meßkirch, South Germany. Within a period of at least 40 years, the Plan of Saint Gall (before 830 A.D.) shall be realised for the first time, with equipment used in the 9th century. During this time, the construction site can be visited by the public. The Campus Galli is a living history museum. The staff will be made up by full-time craftsmen and volunteers as well. The regular employees are trained to hold up high standards in...

Lithic analysis is of great value for understanding hominid biological, cognitive, and cultural evolution, but analyses of handedness in lithics are rare, despite their potential to elucidate the evolution of human lateralities in the body and the brain. This paper will present results of an experiment to determine handedness in lithic materials. In a blind study on debitage (n=631) from Acheulean handaxes created by right- and left-handed flintknappers, several flake characteristics...

This paper explores the possibility to extract information about sensory experiences inherent in the material culture of ancient Egypt which are often overlooked due to the difficulty to track them in the material. By implementing new intellectual frameworks like New Materialism and the consequent application of methodologies from archaeology and anthropology we gain insight in the actions of ancient bodies. Taking inspiration from Latour’s actants (2005), Barad’s agential realism (2007) and...

Over the last few decades, hundreds of Celtic iron weapons have been discovered, a number of which show signs of violent damage as a result of hostilities and/or religious customs. In spite of the fact that these marks have been used as key elements for the interpretation of archaeological sites and the understanding of Iron Age warfare, no method was available until now for archaeologists to describe and study said marks systematically and to distinguish between voluntarily inflicted marks and...

Zusammenfassung Seit 2012 befassen sich experimentalarchäologische Untersuchungen des Autors mit der (Re-)Produktion des antiken römischen Gerichtes „puls“. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Getreidebreizubereitung, die nach literarischen Belegen als das antike römische „Nationalge- richt“ gesehen werden kann. Die puls ist hinsichtlich ihrer Rezepte vor allem literarisch durch den Agrarschriftsteller Cato und (besonders) durch eine dem legendären Gourmet und Gourmand Apicius zugeschriebene...

Experimental replication of the fourteen bifacial blanks recovered from the Dittman cache, site (35MA375) located near Salem, Oregon, provided information that will help answer numerous technological questions as research on the site continues. This study attempts to determine if the bifaces were prepared at the Dittman site or transported there in their current state of reduction. Our primary goal is to demonstrate what debitage would be present if the bifaces were manufactured at the site....

This is an abstract from the "Frontiers of Plant Domestication" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The prehistoric domesticate C. berlandieri var. jonesianum is well documented in the archaeobotanical record of eastern North America from ca. 3,800 BP to European contact when it fell out of use. The seed morphology of the domesticate resembles other new world Chenopodium domesticates (C. quinoa and C. berlandieri subsp. nuttalliae) and is distinct from...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Paleomicrobiology is probably best known as an approach that yields anthropological findings connected to human health and disease, such as long-term records of oral microbiomes recovered from ancient dental calculus. However, the tools of microbial ecology have been tested for their potential to address other anthropological questions, and aid in...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mastication refers to the mechanical thinning of tree cover such as piñon-juniper woodlands and mixed conifer forests in order to reduce fuels and fire hazards, prevent erosion and improve understory development. Mastication utilizes heavy machinery to shred standing vegetation and may involve significant ground disturbance. Though mastication is a...
