This is an abstract from the "Heat, Steam, and Health: The Archaeology of the Mesoamerican Pib Naah (Sweat Baths)" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The ancient Ceren sweat bath was a communal facility of notable sophistication, especially for a commoner village. Household 2 supported its functioning with ollas full of water, pine kindling, and presumably structural maintenance. Loma Caldera’s phreatomagmatic eruption phases, with lava bombs, caused...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As hunter-gatherer groups manufacture and rejuvenate stone tools at hunting and residential sites, they left behind traces of these behaviors in the form of spatial patterns of discarded lithic debris. GIS modelling of the spatial organization of debitage provides a useful tool for comparing lithic reduction episodes from various hunter-gatherer site types....

Despite more than a century of scholarship, our knowledge about the use of stone artifacts remains relatively sparse. Major advances in the analysis of microscopic wear have been the primary focus of much previous research. However, post-depositional processes and the logistics of microscopic analysis limit sample sizes in these studies. New approaches that quantify macroscopic damage patterns on the assemblage scale provide a robust basis for drawing behavioral inferences about hominin tool...

This is an abstract from the "*SE Not Your Father’s Poverty Point: Rewriting Old Narratives through New Research" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Photogrammetry, the production of 3D models from composite photographs, presents numerous possibilities in archaeological research and expands the accessibility of the field. We will discuss the potentials of high-resolution photogrammetry as an important resource, not only for research and analysis, but...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. With the recognition that violence, warfare, and trophy display within the North American Southeast was endemic during the Mississippian Cultural Period, an in-depth analysis of the equipment used by warring groups is now necessary. By examining the “Conquering Warrior” and associated human effigy pipes from the Great Mortuary at Spiro Mounds and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Human culture’s unique complexity depends upon the ability to faithfully transmit know-how over generations. Given other primates do not exhibit a similar capacity, when hominins began to transmit know-how between one another is a key question for human evolution. In the archaeological record, the reoccurrence of stone artifact forms is often taken as...

This is an abstract from the "Experimental Archaeology in Range Creek Canyon, Utah" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A wealth of information on regional patterns of human subsistence and plant domestication has been generated from studies on the starch granules of *Zea mays (maize). Very little work, however, has been conducted on how the size and structural attributes of those grains might change if exposed to different environmental contexts...

This dataset includes information related to a series of experimental ceramic assemblages created to test the relationship between temper type and the performance characteristics of strength and toughness. Three temper groups were created: untempered, sand-tempered, and fused silica (as a proxy for siliceous sponge spicules) tempered. Each temper group was divided into to firing temperatures: 500C and 700C. All samples were subjected to testing with a Mark-10 ESM303 motorized test stand equipped...

This paper considers briefly the implications of stake-holes and post-holes with special reference to their structural and constructional qualities, and those factors which may affect their archaeological form. the case studies of two specific reconstructions of Iron Age round-houses are presented. The first is a post- and stake-built structure based on an excavation at Pimperne Down, Dorest. The second is a stone-built structure based on the excavation of Conderton Camp on Bredon Hill, Wors. In...

System of Environmental Analysis (SEA), a portable environmental sensor for liquids which can track pH, ambient temperature, humidity, and which contains a peristaltic pump for sample collection, was developed for the Ship Biscuit & Salted Beef Research Project at Texas A&M University to record changes in chemical composition and other features of cask contents. A prototype of SEA was designed to record the data from the sensors and send the data via Bluetooth communication. Environmental sensor...

The arctic indigenous people known as the Sámi inhabit northern Norway, Russia, Finland and Sweden, comprising distinctive cultures and languages. The group has experienced a legacy of subjugation strongly evidenced to this day. In northern Finland, the expansion of community-driven cultural heritage revitalization programs have focused on the reclamation of traditional knowledge perceived as lost or disappearing. This remembering is an active process which involves engagement with past material...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experimental research holds great potential for answering questions about the materiality of rock art, revealing insights into the practice of creating images and what it can tell us about the people who produced them. At Cerro Azul in Amazonian Colombia, multi-disciplinary documentation methods revealed that hand depictions were created using a variety of...

Traditional research on European Upper Paleolithic social networks rely on raw material sourcing as well as the distribution of similar "artistic" styles. This project aims to improve the methods of the latter. While similar representations found in different sites have often been assumed to represent the presence of social contacts between those sites, the possibility that such representations were exchanged or even simply copied without direct contact has always loomed over researchers’ head....

This is an abstract from the "Experimental Pedagogies: Teaching through Experimental Archaeology Part 1" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experimental archaeology is an inherently interdisciplinary field that fills gaps in our knowledge about the past by practically testing the production and use of material culture through collaborations between academics, skilled craftspeople, museum curators and public historians. Similarly, the material culture...
