This is an abstract from the "Current Zooarchaeology: New and Ongoing Approaches" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. From a small excavation unit 5 × 6 m named UE1 in Tocuila, Texcoco Municipality, State of Mexico, Mexico, around 1,300 bone elements were recorded, of which we have analyzed about 80%, being outstanding the remains of Columbian mammoth (*Mammuthus columbi), constituting about 90% of the total. According to the stratigraphic distribution...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Zooarchaeologists have tackled numerous questions to reveal human-animal interactions in time and space. In addition to depending on animals for their primary products, that is meat, and secondary products such as milk, muscle-power, and wool, humans have used animals to establish and legitimize status and power, and to represent ideologies, identities,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Bone has been used as a medium for crafting both tools and decorative items since our earliest ancestors; however, this important component of material culture has often been overlooked, with the few published studies focusing on assemblages from either a utilitarian or burial context. The Mill Cove Complex, located along the St. Johns River near...

This is an abstract from the "Animal Resources in Experimental Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experimental and fossil-based zooarchaeological research attempts to distinguish traces on bones associated with human actions (e.g., butchery marks) from the actions of other faunal agents (e.g., bone gnawing and trampling). Fewer analyses have tried to differentiate gnawing marks from the marks left by hominin activities associated with the...

This is an abstract from the "Resources and Society in Ancient China" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Oracle bone divination, an ancient East Asian practice for predicting the future, originated in northwestern China during the middle Neolithic period (5000–3000 BCE) and ultimately became a prominent ritual during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age. Its influence reached the Korean Peninsula and Japanese archipelago around 500 BC, potentially...

This is an abstract from the "Animal Resources in Experimental Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. How does our knowledge of what people made influence our understanding of who people were? In most prehistoric contexts, stone tools serve as default technological benchmarks. This emphasis on stone tools, in turn, foregrounds practices related to hunting and animal processing. Organic technologies more closely linked with child-wearing,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The recently discovered Holzman site lies along the west bank of Shaw Creek, a northern tributary of the Tanana River, Interior Alaska. Excavations beginning in 2015 revealed an expedient stone technology alongside well-preserved hearths, avifauna and large mammal remains including a mammoth tusk in deeply buried deposits. Evidence of food preparation and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Chaco Canyon, located in present-day New Mexico, was a political and economic center for the Ancestral Puebloan culture between AD 800-1200 and remains an important cultural area in the American Southwest. Large-scale road networks facilitated the import of raw materials and craft goods and enabled the exchange of prestige items. Utilizing the Chaco Research...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The effect of cooling climate during the Neoglacial period (3000-5000 BP) on societies in the Eastern Aleutian Islands is contested. Some archaeologists have argued that the appearance of toggling harpoon heads by 3000 BP indicate an adaptation to hunting marine mammals in an icy environment. This conclusion is problematic because toggling harpoons were...

This is an abstract from the "Current Zooarchaeology: New and Ongoing Approaches" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Based on the findings of extinct animal remains in Tocuila, Municipality of Texcoco, State of Mexico, in 1996, a study of a large Late Pleistocene deposit was initiated, excavating an initial unit (UE1), 30 m2 and 3.35 m depth, located on a deltoic paleochannel in the old lacustrine riverbank, which eventually was filled up by a series...

This is an abstract from the "Small Dwellings on the Viking Frontier: New Research from Kotið, North Iceland" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Icelandic Viking Age archaeological assemblages are notorious for their paucity and limited range of material types. Kotið, a small dwelling dating to the original Viking Age settlement of Iceland, is no exception. In two seasons of excavation, only a handful of artifacts have been recovered; however, three...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. <html> The excavations carried out in 2018 and 2019 at Ucanal, a site located in the Maya Lowlands of Guatemala, unearthed the remains of a bone tool workshop dating to the Late Classic period (AD 600-900). It was primarily composed of production waste in which a large proportion of the worked bones were human (up to 40 %). Human bones, along with the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Thermoregulation was integral to the survival of the first and subsequent people who inhabited North America following the Last Glacial Maximum. Successive climate fluctuations necessitated the implementation of technologies that increased the probability of human survival. Previous research has examined the timing of thermoregulatory technologies in the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Birds represent a culturally significant, yet understudied clade within Northeast archaeology. In Wabanaki homeland, now known as Maine, USA, ethnohistoric records indicate the importance of birds in influencing seasonal human migration along the coast, the use of feathers in decoration and ceremony, and prominence in oral histories. Despite this,...
