Redefining Urban Space: Velha Goa and the Construction of Its Outer Fortification Wall (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian C Wilson.

This paper sheds new light on the construction at the end of the 16th century of one of the most impressive, albeit ultimately superfluous, fortification walls in southern Asia: the 22km long wall surrounding Velha Goa—the capital city of the Portuguese eastern empire.

Spanish and French Colonial Forts in La Florida 1562-1763 (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Judith A Bense.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Forts in Comparative, Global, and Contemporary Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Spanish and French were uninvited and unwelcome by Florida’s indigenous groups and they were rival European countries. As a result, fortifications were essential to protect the invasions. The size and configuration of Spanish and French colonial forts in La Florida varied through time and space depending...

The Theory Of Coastal Abandonment During Times Of Warfare And Piracy Applied To The Island Of Cyprus During The Crusades (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Tyler M Caldwell.

This poster will outline the ten coastal fortifications that ring Cyprus. Using GIS this poster will show the line of site of these fortifications. The line of site will include the Mediterranean Sea. Using this data, it will be possible to extract distance from the shore, and from that it will be possible to calculate reaction time for the population to retreat inland during a raid. The Crusader Era was chosen specifically due to the fact that piracy and raiding was heavily present around...


Walls, Ditches and Spoil: Methodological Issues in the Study of Pre-Columbian Fortifications (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Hernandez.

A critical facet of studying past warfare is the analysis of fortifications. Fortifications are often visible on the surface, making these archaeological features identifiable through surface reconnaissance. Moreover, test pits and trench excavations into gated areas or across various sections of fortifications can be used to establish the martial functions of these archaeological features. Yet, the study of past warfare and fortifications often stumbles in the interpretive stage. How do we know...
