The nature of experiment in archaeology (1999)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J. Reynolds.

The object of this paper is to explore the nature of experiment in archaeology today and to asses its potential role in so far as it may confirm or deny interpretations of excavated data.

The Nature of Scientific Experimentation in Archaeology: Experimental Archaeology from the Nineteenth to the mid Twentieth Century (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carolyn Forrest.

The ‘experimental’ element of archaeology was born in the great scientific explosion of the nineteenth century taking place in disciplines such as archaeology, geology and anthropology. The roots of experimental archaeology are therefore not shallow at all, although oft en balanced between ‘mainstream’ or ‘amateur’. The lay status of the amateur expert and public performance of experimental archaeology seem to have diminished its credibility as either academic or professional. However, amateur...

A New Gauge: More on Formative Period Textiles and Technologies (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Billie Follensbee.

This is an abstract from the "Textile Tools and Technologies as Evidence for the Fiber Arts in Precolumbian Societies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While considerable research has been conducted on the importance of textiles in Classic and Postclassic Mesoamerica, little study has been done on textiles among Early or Middle Formative period cultures, mainly due to scanty preservation. As noted in previous research, however, depictions of...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J. Reynolds.

This is a short description of an archaeological experiment. The first roman hypocaust built with the original material in about 1600 years in Hampshire, Britain.

A New Methodology for Understanding How Bone Wears Using 3D Surface Texture Analysis (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Naomi L. Martisius. Isabelle Sidéra. Teresa E. Steele. Shannon P. McPherron. Ellen Schulz-Kornas.

Use-wear analysis provides a tool for studying traces produced on animal bone during manufacture and use. Often, these analyses have been qualitative, describing the surface two-dimensionally, and have led to inconsistencies between researchers. Studies have focused on interpreting final traces and lack a foundation in understanding how the traces developed. Here, we propose a new methodology for studying bone surface traces that will reduce the problems of unreliable and unreplicable results in...

No todo es lo que parece: Reproducción experimental de matrices decorativas cerámicas documentadas en el Neolítico Antiguo (2011)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Olga Gómez Pérez.

A non-destructive view with X-rays into the strain state of bronze axes (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Leif Glaser. Andre Rothkirch. Simone Techert. Mechtild Freudenberg.

In this paper we present a new approach using highly surface sensitive X-ray diffraction methods for archaeometrical investigation highlighted on the Neolithic Axe of Ahneby. Applying the sin2Ψ-method with a scintillation detector and a MAXIM camera setup, both were usually applied for material strain analysis on mod- ern metal fabrics. We can distinguish between different production states of bronze axes: cast, forged and tem- pered. The method can be applied as a local probe of some 100th of...

Now and Later: Defining Reliant and Redundant Food Storage Strategies Utilized by Hunter-Gatherers (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Frederick.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Research on storage in small-scale societies has, until recently, narrowly focused on determining the form and scale that food storage took, and its relatedness to increasing social complexity. This research, instead, looked at the purposeful decision-making behind the use of food storage as a risk management strategy in non-sedentary societies....

Nuts for Nuts: Assessing Hypotheses of Nut Preparation and Cracking Experiments (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Torquato.

This is an abstract from the "The Expanding Bayesian Revolution in Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout prehistory, Indigenous peoples in the Interior Eastern Woodlands of North America relied heavily on hunted and gathered resources. They commonly gathered and consumed nuts, which resulted in many archaeological sites containing these carbonized remains. Hammerstones and nutting stones in archaeological contexts suggest that...

Obsidian Tool Functions at Early Formative Altica, Mexico (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Walton.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In central Mexican archaeology, tool functions have often been assumed for lithic artifacts based on material types and tool forms, which are classified broadly with labels such as bifaces, scrapers, blades, and flakes. Integrating the method of use-wear analysis derived through experimental archaeology is the most effective way to improve our understanding of...

On Making Kw’ets’tel and Interpreting the Remnants: An Archaeological and Experimental Archaeological Study of Stó:lō - Coast Salish Slate Fishing Knives (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hector Salazar. Anthony Graesch.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although critically important to the seasonal work of processing hundreds of thousands of fish for storage, kw’ets’tel, or Stó:lō-Coast Salish slate fish knives, are rarely recovered in the archaeological record. Knife-making debitage, however, is often recovered in great abundance during subsurface investigations in and near Stó:lō dwellings. Debitage...

On the Practical Use of Knives Manufactured from Human Feces and Saliva: An Experiment (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Metin Eren. The Eren Lab Graduate Students.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1996, the anthropologist and ethnobotanist Wade Davis recounted in his book "Shadows in the Sun" the tale of an Inuit man who manufactured a knife out of his own feces and saliva as these raw materials froze during the arctic night. With these items he then butchered a dog. Since that time, this story has been told, and retold, on websites, radio...

Ovens Aren't Just for Food: Experimenting to Determine the Materials Used in a 19th Century Spanish Oven (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jarrett Holsten. Katherine Brewer. Shannan Rael. Emmanuel Macias. Ashley Harris.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the summer of 2018, field school students from the University of New Mexico excavated historical ovens likely associated with the 19th century Spanish village of Tejón. During the course of the excavations, the field school undertook an experiment to determine the purpose of the historical ovens. The experiment was unable to be completed at that time, but...

An Overview of Vitrophyre Use in North Central Idaho: 12,000 Years of Rock Knockin’ on the Lochsa (2023)

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological investigations in the 1990s defined the Clearwater River region of the southern Columbia Plateau as a unique cultural and archaeological entity, though it remains poorly understood. The Nez Perce have occupied this portion of north central Idaho since time immemorial. Excavations throughout ancestral Nez Perce country have revealed...

Panem Bonum Fert: The Panis Quadratus as an Archaeologically Defined Cereal Grain Consumption Metric in First-Century Rome (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Farrell Monaco.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study is focused on cereal grain consumption in ancient Rome and the food value of the commercially produced Roman bread product, the Panis Quadratus, in the Roman daily diet in first century AD. While some Roman-era cereal grain consumption estimates have been published in recent decades, no study has yet attempted to consider the assemblage of...
