Treating Problems of Target Nonscalability in Archaeological Projectile Experiments (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Devin Pettigrew.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many controlled archaeological weapons experiments have used homogenous target simulants to answer a variety of questions. Target simulants, however, must be shown to be scalable for the weapons we study; they must be shown to capture the same characteristics that make weapons effective in their original application. This paper presents original research...

Trowels for Plowshares: Experimental Archaeology, Public Engagement, and 19th Century American Agricultural Practices (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Travis M. Williams.

A state-owned museum in Park Hill, Oklahoma, the George M. Murrell Home, held their first annual Antique Agricultural Festival (AgFest) in October 2016. Much of the festivities involved living history demonstrations of mid-19th century agricultural practices, including horse-drawn plowing. In collaboration with the organizers and participants of AgFest, I oversaw an experimental archaeology research project documenting the effects of this plowing on artifact distribution and site formation...

Ugly Duckling and Work Horse: A Mid-19th Century Lighter from San Francisco Bay’s Yerba Buena Cove and Its Scale Model (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John P Schlagheck.

In 2013 WSA recovered a well preserved Gold Rush Era lighter from the original shore of Yerba Buena Cove. This boat, used to "lighten" the load of ships anchored off-shore, is providing new insight into the working craft of early maritime San Francisco. Found in strong association with the 19th-century ship breaking and salvage industry near the cove, the boat’s simple design and homely non-standard construction evoke images of the rugged Western frontier. Using in situ photographs and an...

Une ferme de la protohistoire en angleterre (1988)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J Reynolds.

A Protohistoric Farm in England This article focuses on experimental agriculture and its unique quest to understand and master traditional agricultural practices. The focus of these studies primarily involve activities conducted during the protohistoric and early historic periods. The Butser Ancient Farm, in Hampshire, England, is specifically used to describe and discuss experimental agriculture.

Using experimental archaeology to answer the "unanswerable": A case study using Roman dyeing (2011)

Using Modern Ostrich Eggshell to Establish a Color Alteration Index and Determine the Physical and Chemical Effects of Heat Exposure (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia McNeill. Bryna Hull. Teresa Steele.

This is an abstract from the "Animal Resources in Experimental Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ostrich eggshell (OES) is common in archaeological sites throughout Africa and Asia and is often recovered with evidence of pre- and postdepositional burning. The physical nature of OES protects some isotopic data that remain locked away in the crystalline shell matrix, allowing researchers to use these data thousands of years later to...

The Vallus: The First Reaping Machine (1983)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J. Reynolds.

"There is little doubt that during the first century A.D. the typical cereals under cultivation were as in the preceding century, namely Emmer (Triticum dicoccum), Spelt (Triticum spefta), Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum), Club wheat (Triticum compactum), Barley (Hordeum vulgare) and probably oats (Avena sativa). From the extant representations of both vallus and carpentum, it is unclear which cereal is depicted. However, it is the belief of this writer that the invention of the reaping machine...

Variability in Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Ratios in Banana Yucca (Yucca Baccata) from Cedar Mesa, Utah: Environmental, Inter-Organ and Processing-based Effects (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Lewis. RE Burrillo. Joan Brenner Coltrain.

Recent stable isotope and phytolith studies suggest that desert succulents (in particular Yucca sp. and Opuntia sp.) were a non-trivial component of Ancestral Puebloan diets. However, isotopic variability in such resources is poorly documented. We present 𝜹C13 and 𝜹N15 values for fruits and seeds of thirty modern Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) specimens from Cedar Mesa, Utah. Experimental roasting and simulated mastication of yucca ‘crowns’ allow separate assays of whole tissue, fiber, and...

Variation in Response to Heat-Treatment in Jasper from the Perkinsville Valley, Arizona (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicolas Hansen. John Murray. Alexa Ferrer. Hanah Edington. Kathryn Ranhorn.

This is an abstract from the "Human Origins Migration and Evolution Research Consortium Poster Symposium" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The heat treatment of lithic raw material is a globally dispersed technology that improves the flaking quality of toolstone. While not all types of stone respond to heat treatment, many forms of microcrystalline silicates do, including jasper. Here, we aim to better understand how Perkinsville jasper responds to...

Verhüttungsexperimente mit Chalcopyrit-Erz nach Vorbildern aus dem bronzezeitlichen Ostalpenraum und Nepal (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas Rose. Erica Hanning. Sabine Klein.

(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...

Versuch - Rekonstruktion - Experiment. Zur Begrifflichkeit aus Sicht der Rekonstruierenden Archäologie, Bereich Textil (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Claudia Merthen.

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....

Weber fractions, standardisation, and variation in artefact form (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Kilpatrick.

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,...
