This is an abstract from the "The Vanishing Treasures Program: Celebrating 20 Years of National Park Service Historic Preservation" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1998, Tuzigoot National Monument, through the Vanishing Treasures Program, set forth on a program of complex ruins stabilization at Tuzigoot pueblo (AD 1125 – 1400) that endures to this day. While some of the original stabilization methodology has remained constant from its earliest...
Integrating Fracture Mechanics into the Design and Implementation of Controlled Lithic Experiments (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Establishing the Science of Paleolithic Archaeology: The Legacy of Harold Dibble (1951–2018) Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The underlying physics of stone tool production is an important component in the studies of lithic technology. The field of fracture mechanics offers rich literature on the basic principles of flake initiation, propagation, and termination. However, results from these fracture mechanics...

Introduction to Session: Recent Research and Future Objectives (2023)
This is an abstract from the "From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal: Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers in North America" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The discovery and development of metals as tool media is a topic of global interest. Although this phenomenon is generally associated with sedentary, agrarian-based societies, in North America there is regularly documented, albeit not widely known, use of metals by...

Investigating Beringian Hunting Toolkits from Experiential Perspectives (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Advances in Perishable Weaponry Studies: Developing Perspectives from Dated Contexts to Experimental Analyses" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experimental archaeology is an underutilized methodology for investigating variability in projectile point technologies of Upper Paleolithic Siberia and Late Pleistocene/early Holocene eastern Beringia. This paper presents the results of a multifaceted experimental research...

Investigating the Impact of a Recent Wildfire on Tortoises at Cape Point, South Africa: Implications for Our Understanding of Ancient Pyrotechnology and Its Uses (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Animal Resources in Experimental Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists commonly interpret burnt materials at archaeological sites as relicts of human fire use activities, but processes other than human fire use may create burnt materials. Here, we examine if wildfires would leave specific heating signatures regarding the temperature or heating pattern on the skeleton that would be different from...
Investigating the toolkit for building a Neolithic house: microwear and the missing majority (2015)
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...
An Investigation of Bone Preservation as a Result of Environmental and Cultural Variables in Mortuary Contexts (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study investigates preservation and molecular integrity of bone through an experimental study focused on variation in mortuary practices. The objective of this study examines how different mortuary rituals affect bone preservation, particularly in an area with a freeze/thaw effect, and how simulated mortuary contexts will impact the stable isotope...

Iron Age Agriculture Reviewed (1985)
Text from Reynold's inaugural lecture for the Wessex Lecture series, given in 1983.
An Iron Age Harvest (1988)
This article reports of the experimental project of harvesting emmer and spelt wheat with Iron Age techniques at Butser Ancient Farm. It addresses problems and theoretical improvements as well as what to do with failed crops during the Iron Age in Britain. The experiment was confronted with harsh weather conditions, as they might have occurred in the Iron Age too.
Is It Only the Blank Size That Matters? The Effect of Edge Segmentation on Lithic Blank Cutting-Edge Efficiency (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lithic blank/tool efficiency has been the subject of some experimental research in the last two decades. However, most of the research has largely been focused on the general morphology of the edge (straight, convex, or concave), or on some specific characteristic such as angle or the length of the cutting portion. What has not received attention is the...
Is Pseudoreplication a Problem for Experimental Studies of Bone Surface Modification? (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Animal Resources in Experimental Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1984, Stuart Hurlbert defined pseudoreplication as “the use of inferential statistics to test for treatment effects with data from experiments where either treatments are not replicated (though samples may be) or replicates are not statistically independent” (Pseudoreplication and the Design of Ecological Field Experiments, *Ecological...
Is That Awl? Olmec Jade Artifacts as Elite Tools, Ornaments, and Inalienable Goods (2018)
Recent research has re-identified certain enigmatic Gulf Coast Olmec greenstone artifacts as elite versions of textile-making tools. These artifacts, which include Middle Formative picks, figural celts, clamshell and plaque pendants, and objects designated as "spoons," were likely used by elites as both functional objects and high-status adornment, as illustrated in the contemporary sculpture. Most examples of these artifacts are found in caches and graves of distant and/or later civilizations,...
Is There (and What Is) a “Nubian-Levallois” from the Etic Perspective of Flake and Fracture Formation? (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Establishing the Science of Paleolithic Archaeology: The Legacy of Harold Dibble (1951–2018) Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lithic experimentation and the understanding of the so-called nubian-levallois technology are just two among many aspects of Harold’s legacy. The results of so far the only controlled experiment on core surface morphology, some of which resembles nubian-levallois in featuring a prominent...
