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)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jordan Thompson.

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...

Painting Methods and Process—a Compositional Analysis of Pecos River Style Murals (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashley Busby.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A compositional analysis of pictographs of the Lower Pecos (LP) Canyonlands, located in Southwest Texas and Northern Mexico is presented. The complex systems utilized by LP artists in their painting process are examined, including symmetrical organization of forms and intentional arrangements of figures in a scene (typically a portion of the site). A...

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...

The Past (and Future?) of Our Crop Plants in Changing Global Environments (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dolores Piperno.

The development of agricultural societies, one of the most transformative events in human and ecological history, began independently in a number of world regions including the American tropics during a period of profound environmental change at the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Plant domestication is at its core an evolutionary process involving both natural and human selection for traits favorable for harvesting and consumption. Scientists from a number of disciplines have long sought to...

Pedagogy in the Paleolithic? The Influence of Verbal Teaching on Stone Knapping Skill Acquisition (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan Beney. Shelby Putt. Dietrich Stout.

Teaching is uniquely developed in humans and was likely critical to the emergence of cumulative culture. However, the importance of various forms of teaching, including the use of language, in transmitting Paleolithic skills like stone knapping is less understood. Here we examine the knapping behaviors of 17 subjects who learned to make Oldowan and Acheulian stone tools from watching video demonstrations either with verbal instruction or without sound. Despite intriguing differences in brain...

Performativity and Pedagogy: the Effect of Verbal and Nonverbal Instruction on Experimental Acheulian Handaxe Symmetry (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emma Dellopoulos. Shelby Putt.

The Acheulian techno-complex is comprised mostly of bifacal handaxes, which became increasingly symmetrical through time, especially after 400kya. Symmetry has recently been considered a highly significant aspect of the Acheulian toolkit. It has many potential opportunities for a better understanding of the evolution of cognition in early Homo; however, little is known about how this complex skill was transmitted. Could the increasing symmetry of handaxes in the archaeological record be evidence...

A Petrographic Examination of Early Ceramic Crushed Rock Tempers (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ammie Mitchell.

As part of her ongoing dissertation research, the author conducted a series of experimental tests to examine the physical properties of coarse crystalline rocks. Common coarse crystalline rocks in the Northeast include granite, granodiorite, and gabbro. Earlier petrographic studies by the author identified these rocks as common tempering agents in early ceramic vessels in New York. The author hypothesized that these rocks were intentionally collected by potters from glacial land formations and...

Physics and Ballistics of the “Rabbit Stick” or Straight-Flying Boomerang (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Devin Pettigrew.

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. Straight-flying boomerangs—in North America commonly referred to as rabbit sticks—were used worldwide for both hunting and combat. When properly designed and implemented, the boomerang functions as an airfoil and gyroscope, slicing through atmosphere, generating lift, and...

Pigment and Clay Variation in Polychrome Ceramics (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sophia Draznin-Nagy. Jeffery Clark.

This poster presents the results of a project that attempted to replicate viable paint and clay combinations employed to make Salado and Maverick Mountain polychrome ceramics. We know from NAA and petrographic studies that both of these painted ceramics were locally produced and widely exchanged in the Upper Gila region. Local clays and pigments, from the Gila River Valley, were used to show how effectively different pigments adhere to clay. The study also provided an opportunity to explore the...
