DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas W. Whitaker. Junius B. Bird.

Identifying Farming Strategies within Changing Regional Contexts at Tahcabo, Yucatán (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adolfo Batun-Alpuche. Maia Dedrick. Patricia McAnany.

Colonial- and national-period studies of agricultural practices in Yucatán can provide useful case studies to address current theoretical concerns in political ecology. Perspectives on livelihood strategies today are broadly comparable to household-level studies of economic activities accessible through archaeology, especially given historical archaeology’s attention to market integration and technological innovations. The time depth available through archaeological study complements...

Improving Their Lot: Cultivating Communities & Landscape Change in Maine, 1760-1820 (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan D. Postemski.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Frontier landscapes are often portrayed either as ripe for settlement and replete with resources, or as dangerous, harsh peripheries that pioneers adapted to. Given factors like harsh winters and warfare, the latter portrayal dominates narratives of the Eastern Frontier during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. To interrogate notions of a largely intractable frontier...

In the Weeds: Digging Deeply into the Paleoethnobotany of the early Colonial Chesapeake (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara Heath. Kandace Hollenbach. Sierra Roark. Megan Belcher.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digging Deep: Close Engagement with the Material World" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. We share preliminary results of a comparative paleoethnobotanical analysis of carbonized macrobotanical remains recovered from archaeological sites in Maryland and Virginia spanning three periods (1630-1660, 1661-1700, 1701-1730) and four ecological zones. Samples from contexts with defined dates and precise locations...

Inequality and Taskscape in a Precolumbian Agricultural Landscape (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John Walker.

Raised fields and other earthworks, as parts of archaeological landscapes, can be theorized through Ingold’s related concepts of taskscape and lines. In the Bolivian Amazon, such earthworks are the physical remains of group or community activities in the precolumbian past. As such, they are both the products of community tasks, and infrastructure, or resources that in turn afford other community tasks. In conjunction with archaeological survey and excavation, mapping of raised fields and other...

The Infrastructure of Community: Agricultural intensification and the development of corporate groups at Hualcayán, Peru (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Bria.

This paper examines how the construction of agricultural infrastructure was essential to the constitution of a new kind of community in the highland Andes after the collapse of the regional Chavín religion (500/200 BC). It presents recent excavation data from Hualcayán—a long occupied ceremonial center in Ancash, Peru—to discuss how local people reorganized their community when they abandoned a central Chavín mound and built segregated structures for agricultural production, such as terraces,...

Ingenuity from the Periphery: Contributions to Old World Transformations from the Aral Sea deltas (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth Brite.

The deltas of the Aral Sea lie within an internal drainage basin where critical water resources are prone to unpredictable change. The nature of this resource landscape discourages the emergence of enduring centralized states and was a key factor that led to the peripheral status of the deltas in world history. Nevertheless, complex social institutions did develop there in the early 1st millennium B.C. – late 1st millennium A.D., and these were based on especially diverse and flexible economic...

Integrating Generations on the Formative Maya Landscape: Households and Communities at Tzacauil (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Chelsea Fisher.

Many Maya centers owe their longevity to the long-term persistence of their households, which were integrated as continuous social units throughout multiple generations. Yet how did the integration of the multigenerational Maya household first emerge? I address this question through the lens of the early farming village of Tzacauil, Yucatán, Mexico. In the Late Formative period (250 BC – AD 250)—the era in which Tzacauil was occupied and abandoned—people in the Maya area began using stone to...

Interpretive Prospectus, Seneca Creek State Park (1977)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Braunberg. Nelson Chadwick. Clifford Denney. Gloria Gore. Ross Kimmel. Joseph McNamara. James Rogers. L. Prescott Wilbur.

INVESTIGATIONS AT THE MOUTH OF THE RÍO ICA, PERU: A PRECERAMIC RECORD OF RICH SEAS, FOG-MEADOWS, INCIPIENT AGRICULTURE AND SHIFTING SHORELINES (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kevin Lane. David Beresford-Jones. Alexander Pullen. Charles French. Susana Arce.

The earliest evidence of human occupation on the Río Ica, south coast Peru are middens at the river’s mouth, accumulated through episodic fisher-hunter-gatherer occupations during the Middle Preceramic Period. We present results of ongoing investigations and dating of these sites to between 7,000 and 6,000 Cal yr BP. Apart from a variety of rich marine resources, the occupants of these middens also exploited the river estuary, riparian woodlands in the river floodplain and lomas (or ‘fog...

An Iron Age Harvest (1988)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J Reynolds.

This article reports of the experimental project of harvesting emmer and spelt wheat with Iron Age techniques at Butser Ancient Farm. It addresses problems and theoretical improvements as well as what to do with failed crops during the Iron Age in Britain. The experiment was confronted with harsh weather conditions, as they might have occurred in the Iron Age too.

Irrigation Systems and Other Forms of Intensive Agriculture at the Ancient Maya City of Tikal (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Lentz.

In addition to an extensive short fallow system and the intensive cultivation of dooryard gardens and orchards that probably produced a major portion of the food supply at Tikal, other forms of primary food production were being utilized, as well. Significantly, the Maya seem to have developed intensive hydraulic agriculture in the lands south of the Perdido Reservoir. Stratigraphic profiles, δ13C data, and other forms of archaeological evidence clearly indicate that maize was being cultivated...

Island Improvement: Cultivating Change in the Eastern Frontier Landscape of Deer Isle, Maine (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan D. Postemski.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Islands of Time (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological studies have long highlighted rapid and radical human transformation of island ecosystems through colonization. Given their generally more limited biodiversity and size, the impact of human activity is often easier to discern on islands than on the mainland. In this paper, I examine human interaction with the island ecosystem...

Island survivors. The ecology of Soay sheep of St. Kilda (1974)

DOCUMENT Citation Only P A Jewell. C Milner. J Morton Boyd.

It's Just Business: Crop Commercialization and Impacts on Ritual Consumption in Spanish Colonial Contexts (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christine D Beaule.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Environmental Intimacies: Political Ecologies of Colonization and Anti-Colonial Resilience", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The commercial production and control of ritually significant crops such as tobacco and corn had highly variable, and sometimes surprising, impacts on consumption patterns in Indigenous cultures throughout the Spanish colonial empire. This presentation will critically analyze theories...
