(Article is in German with English abstract and figure captions) During the summer of 2018, the German Mining Museum Bochum (DBM) and the Roman-Germanic Central Museum (RGZM) conducted copper ore smelting experiments at the Laboratory for Experimental Archaeology (LEA), RGZM in Mayen, Germany. The smelting experiments not only reconstructed a 4.000 year old smelting process, but also produced material that could then be used for scientific analysis. During the course of the experiments, copper...

The focus of this article lies on two topics concerning German "Experimental Archaeology". First the definition of terms used for several activities but not clear fixed in their significance. Second, their use within the reconstructive work on textiles will be analysed. Trials are tests to gain knowledge and experiences in prehistoric and ancient crafts, techniques and technologies. They are a matter of approaching, the testers are looking for answers to their questions by trial and error....

Scholars have debated the relevance of variation and standardization in artefact assemblages since the nineteenth century. Variation in artefact assemblages is used for developing typologies and examining temporal changes in artefact form. Standardisation in artefact shape is an important indicator of the cognition of early humans, socio-economic organization, and the emergence of craft specialization. Research into the causal factors of variation include testing humans sensory perceptions,...

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. For five years, we have cotaught an undergraduate Introduction to Experimental Archaeology course under the auspices of the history department at a small university. In this paper, we examine the ways in which history and experimental archaeology share traditions of scholarship, learning objectives, and appeal to...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study uses technological investment thinking and experimental archaeology to examine decision of the socially complex hunter-gatherers of the Kodiak Archipelago to adopt ceramics, ca. 500 cal BP. This decision is puzzling for two reasons: a) ceramic adoption on Kodiak lags centuries behind its adoption on the adjacent mainland, and b) evidence of...

While psychologists have been using many different methods to map brain activity during various tasks, archaeologists have yet to fully utilize the potential of these techniques to examine early human cognition. Paleolithic stone tools provide a promising line of evidence in human behavioral and cognitive evolution. Recently, brain imaging modalities such as Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) have been used to more directly link cognition and...

Uncharred botanicals are commonly found on archaeological sites but seldom assigned interpretive significance owing to their assumed ambiguous origins. Thousands of uncharred, fragmented Sambucas racemosa (red elderberry) seeds have been recovered at Welqámex, a Stó:lō-Coast Salish settlement in the Upper Fraser Valley of southwestern British Columbia. In Stó:lō-Coast Salish territory and beyond, Sambucas was used as both a food and a medicine. Owing to the presence of cyanide-like...

Recent zooarchaeological and isotope analyses have largely settled the debate surrounding Neanderthal hunting capacity. The vast numbers of Middle Palaeolithic sites containing the butchered remains of large ungulates demonstrates the ability to obtain and, often, highly process these carcasses. Nevertheless, evidence for the effectiveness and ubiquity of Neanderthal hunting technology, specifically composite hafted tools, has not been illustrated across either their entire spatial or temporal...

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. As a unique category of socially charged material culture, beer has origins stretching back to people’s first obsession with wild grain. The deep time prehistory of beer coupled with the unique role of its psychoactive properties makes it a compelling bridge between academic archaeology and the public, allowing...

In biology the concept of theoretical morphology has been used as a heuristic device for better understanding the evolutionary trajectories of organisms. Theoretical morphology proceeds by creating and examining hypothetical specimens not actually found in nature. So instead of asking "why does feature X exist", a theoretical morphological approach asks "why doesn’t feature Y exist?". Here, we use this approach to address the question of why ceramic technology did not evolve to replace stone...

This paper represents an assay into the vexed area of prehistoric and in particular Iron Age agriculture. This is offered rather more as a polemic than a statement and is designed to provoke argument rather than agreement. The majority of the experimental data from which the arguments are raised is drawn from the current research programs at the Butser Ancient Farm Research Project, Hampshire.

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. In recent years, since the development of our outdoor experimental archaeology “lab” (York Experimental Archaeological Research “YEAR” Centre, University of York) we have designed a series of modules that place experiential learning at the center of pedagogical practice. Such is the success of these modules we now...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. How many water samples are Kenough? If you are Ken-fused about how to make your own, robust isotopic reference dataset for archaeological questions, this poster is for you. My job is baseline. At the beach, in the mountains––and everything in between. This poster reflects seven years of Ken-curious environmental isotopic sampling in the western Central...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The study of ancient Mediterranean naval warfare expanded dramatically with the emergence of maritime archaeology and the subsequent discovery of artifacts and ship remains such as the Athlit and Egadi rams. The ship timbers preserved inside the rams radically increased available information on ancient warships. These timbers offer a tantalizing glimpse at vessel construction, but...
