The Battle of Turners Falls: Historical Trauma and the Legacy of King Philip’s War (1675-1677) (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashley A. Bissonnette. Kevin A. McBride.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. King Philip’s War was the most devastating conflict in American history proportional to the population. Thousands of Native people died from disease, starvation, and battlefield deaths, and the survivors abandoned the region or were placed on reservations that were a fraction of their...

The Bioarchaeological Evidence for Elder Care in Roman Britain (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Gowland.

The elderly are the most neglected demographic in archaeology. In today’s youth-obsessed society the elderly are consistently denigrated, particularly those perceived to be physically or mentally frail. This negative construction is partly a consequence of an unprecedented ageing population, often conceptualised as problematic and burdensome to society. A related and growing concern in contemporary populations is the physical abuse of the elderly, believed to be an escalating, demographically...

Cared for or Outcasts? The bioarchaeological analysis of two individuals with potential disabilities from Aztec Ruins (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alyssa Willett. Ryan Harrod.

This project focuses on the assessment of individuals who appear to have held a lower status, worked harder, and been at more risk for trauma then other members of the same community. The West Ruin site of Aztec Ruins is an important site in the U.S. Southwest that came into prominence after the decline of Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon. Within this site there are two individuals who appear to have suffered significant traumatic injuries that healed. Both individuals were young adults; one...

Consent, Curiosity, and Compassion: Bioethics and the Excavation of Archival Bodies (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Madeleine L Mant.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper Bodies: Excavating Archival Tissues and Traces", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Bioarchaeological researchers have increasingly looked to the archives to contextualize skeletal studies, opening exciting avenues of collaborative research. Biocultural anthropological research may not always prioritize skeletons as the primary source of body data, but instead draw upon bodies in archival materials such as...

evidence for antemortem or perimortem Trauma among individuals recovered from the 2013 milwaukee county institution poor farm cemetery excavations (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Strange.

2013 excavations at the Milwaukee County Institutional Grounds (MCIG) cemetery resulted in the recovery of approximately 685 burials containing over 700 individuals, adding to the existing collection of 1649 individuals excavated in 1991 and 1992. The individuals from the 2013 excavations were inventoried and examined macroscopically for evidence of pathology and trauma. Sean P. Dougherty (2011) observed that the pattern of traumatic fractures among the 1991 and 1992 collection reflect not...

Health and Stress of Neolithic Yangshao Culture Skeletal Population from Wanggou Site, Zhengzhou (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Yawei Zhou. Qipeng Yan. Wanfa Gu.

The Wanggou site, located in the Lower Yellow River valley, is a large Yangshao culture cemetery, dating to 7000-5000 BP. Two hundred and eleven skeletons were examined for variations from normal morphology, including non-metric traits, to characterized pathology of the Neolithic Age residents of Central China. This paper examined skeletal evidence of bone disease, trauma and musculo-skeletal stress markers (MSM) of ancient residents. A prevalence of spina bifida, spondylolysis, lumbarization,...

An Intersite Comparison of Human Skeletal Trauma in Shang Dynasty China (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniela Wolin. Yuling He. Zhonghe Liang. Junfeng Guo.

Participation in the near-constant military campaigns of the Late Shang dynasty of China may have constituted an important social role for much of the population. Archaeologists have employed mortuary analysis and a close-reading of contemporaneous oracle bone inscriptions to help elucidate the nature of warfare and its participants. A large-scale bioarchaeological analysis of human skeletal remains could not only provide valuable insight on the relationship between weaponry as grave goods and...

The Jefferson Street Bridge Project: Archaeological Investigations at the East Nashville Mounds Site (40DV4) and the French Lick / Sulphur Dell Site (40DV5) in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, Volume II: Text (2000)

Multilevel Migration and Interpersonal Violence at the Angel Site: Bioarchaeological Investigations of Trauma at a Large Mississippian Period Community in Southwestern Indian (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica Ausel.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The connection between migration and violence is complex and occurs in many social spheres within a single community. Data accessible through archaeological excavations, partnered with bioarchaeological analyses, can provide insights that are otherwise invisible regarding these experiences. To this end, my research explores the patterns of interpersonal trauma...

Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Fractures of the Proximal End of the Femur (1981)

Pursuing Trauma-Informed Practices for Post Contact Cemetery Preservation (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Timo.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The NC Office of State Archaeology’s (NCOSA) Historic Cemetery Program seeks to preserve and study the state’s post contact period cemeteries as well as support their descendants, communities, and local governments. Through NCOSA’s community-focused work it has become apparent that these places are not only historic and archaeological, but deeply emotional landscapes. Cemeteries are sites...

A Smashing Good Time: the identification of prehistoric blunt force weapons using experimental bioarchaeology. (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meaghan Dyer.

Experimental bioarchaeology can aid identification of prehistoric weapons and inform current understanding of the context of violence and social interactions in small-scale societies. Determining the direct mechanism of cranial blunt force trauma in prehistoric cultures is currently a complex issue. A vast array of tools and weapons exist that can produce blunt force injury, complicating identification of individual weapons associated with archaeological cranial injuries. This paper presents a...

Troubled Times in Late Prehistoric Wisconsin: Violent Skeletal Trauma Among the Winnebago Phase Oneota (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexandria Oemig. Jordan Karsten.

In 1991, Milner et al. published a groundbreaking article that showed the Native American Oneota culture in a new light. Their research at the Norris Farms #36 cemetery in west-central Illinois indicated that the Oneota there were plagued by intergroup violence and small-scale tribal warfare. Milner et al. examined 264 skeletons and discovered evidence for trauma on 43 (16.29%). At least one-third of adults at Norris Farms #36 died violent deaths. However, the group at Norris Farms #36 was part...

Vows and Violence: Identities Enacted through Diet and Trauma at the Late Medieval Tintern Abbey, Ireland (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elise Alonzi. Barra O'Donnabhain.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Diet, mobility, and trauma are key factors in the performance of social identities and the maintenance of social boundaries between groups. In medieval Ireland, burial at monasteries also provided an opportunity for both lay and ecclesiastical communities to represent the religious identities of deceased individuals. In this study, mobility, trauma, and diet...
