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...

Undergraduate Reflections on Archaeological Ceramics through Experimental Archaeology (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Asher Blake. Zoe Anderson. Madison James. Mariah Smith. Catalina Terlea.

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. Undergraduate ceramic archaeological instruction is built around the common, and often taken for granted, categories of raw materials, functional forms, and decorative characteristics. As students, we primarily study these categories to classify materials in field and laboratory settings with little time or...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christine Jones.

This is an abstract from the "AI-Proof Learning: Food-Centered Experimental Archaeology in the Classroom" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. High-impact practices (HIPs) using hands-on activities, experiential learning, and collaborative learning employ methods that educators in archaeology have already been using for decades. The pedagogical push to use HIPs recently involves widespread recognition that not only do these methods work to engage...

Unsung Heroes of Cahokian Cuisine: The Materials and Methods for Nixtamalization in the American Bottom (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alleen Betzenhauser. Madeleine Evans.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. People who rely on corn for significant portions of their diets must process it to improve its nutritional quality, or risk severe malnutrition. A common method historically employed throughout Mesoamerica and North America consisted of soaking corn kernels in an alkaline solution created from wood ash or burned limestone, a technique referred to as...

The Uprising: A Role-Playing Game as an Educational Aid in an Archaeology Seminar Course (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Guy Hepp.

This is an abstract from the "Leveling Up: Gaming and Game Design in Archaeological Education and Outreach" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, I discuss an analog role-playing game (RPG) entitled “The Uprising,” which I designed for an undergraduate university course on the archaeology of the senses. I reflect on how gaming in the classroom builds on recent pedagogical research and promotes participation not possible with traditional...

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...

VAEE viert twintigjarig bestaan (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Roeland P Paardekooper.

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...
