The Sonorous Univers of the Jama-Coaque Culture: A Historical-Ecological Approach to Past Soundscapes (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Juan Argoti Gómez.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Musical creation, starting with the intonation of defined sounds through the construction of sonorous artifacts, can be understood as the way in which humans give a voice to the abstract of their soul. Consequently, human soundscapes, constitute an integrated and holistic reflection culture. Therefore, following the concept of religious routinization...

The Soundscape inside the Ancient Ceren Sweat Bath (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Payson Sheets.

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...


A Spatial Analysis of a Knapper's Replication of Debitage Debris from Hunter-Gatherer Camp and Hunting Sites (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Jeu. Heather Smith.

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....


Spatial Variation in Tool Use: Acheulean Forager Patterning at Elandsfontein, South Africa (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ella Beaudoin. David R. Braun. Jonathan Reeves.

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...

The Spiro Panoply: An Examination, Structural Analysis, and Hypothetical Re-creation of Middle Mississippian Defensive Equipment and Weapon Systems (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Sanders. Phyllisa Eisentraut.

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...


Spontaneous Ability to Impose Form by Knapping-Naïve Humans (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nolan Ferar. Claudio Tennie. Mark Moore. Alexandros Karakostis. Elena Moos.

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...


Starch Granule Size and Morphology as a Proxy for Water Influence on *Zea mays (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Stefania Wilks. Lisbeth Louderback. Shannon Boomgarden.

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...

Strength and toughness in spiculate tempered pottery dataset (2022)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Nathan Lawres. David Collins. Megan Ware. Jessica Dees.

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...

Substructure to Superstructure (1982)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J. Reynolds.

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): An Underwater Environmental Sensor And Its Applications (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rogelio Casas Jr. Byul Hur. Erika Davila. Grace Tsai.

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...


Sámi Boat Building in a Cultural Revitalization Context: Unifying Community and Anthropological Goals (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Magnani. Natalia Magnani.

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...

Taught or Copied? Using 2-Mode Network Visualization to Distinguish between the Two (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Claudine Gravel-Miguel.

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....
