Modeling Mississippian Subsistence: Diet and Food Production at Angel Mounds, Indiana (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jayne-Leigh Thomas. Dan Knudsen. Rebecca Hawkins.

This is an abstract from the "Advancing the Archaeology of Indigenous Agriculture in North America" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Agricultural research in archaeology has predominantly focused on the presence or absence of food refuse, dietary data from isotopic studies, or the origins of agriculture. Fewer studies exist that focus on how crops were actually grown and what yields would be needed to viably support a specific population,...

Modeling Socioecological Transformation in Coastal East Africa: A Case Study from Unguja Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wolfgang Alders.

This is an abstract from the "Islands around Africa: State-of-the-Art and Future Directions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists in the Pacific have viewed islands as “laboratories” for studying social, agricultural, and ecological transformations. Can a similar approach be applied to the near-shore island environments of coastal East Africa, and what might island case studies contribute to broader anthropological understandings of East...

Modeling Soil Moisture of Farmland near Mesa Verde Villages at Goodman Point, Southwestern Colorado (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Brown. Lisa Nagaoka. Feifei Pan. Steve Wolverton.

The abandonment of the Mesa Verde region at the end of the Pueblo III (PIII) period (AD 1150 to 1300) represents a complex synergy of causal processes, such as inter-village conflict, drought induced water and food resource stress, and high population density. Decisions to abandon a place, however, occurred at the scale of human interaction, that of the village. This study examines one factor that would have been important in those decisions, the location and properties of farmplots near...

Modeling the Early History of Maize in the North American Southwest (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lori Barkwill Love.

This is an abstract from the "Constructing Chronologies II: The Big Picture with Bayes and Beyond" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although originally domesticated in Mexico, the initial adoption and spread of maize (*Zea mays) are key to understanding the forager-to-farmer transition in the North American Southwest. Fundamental to our understanding of this transition is chronology, especially related to the introduction, spread, and use of maize....

Morphometric Analyses of Cereal Grains from Central Jordan Improve the Resolution of Identifying Shifts in Crop Cultivation and Processing Strategies over 2000 Years (ca. 800 BCE - 1300 CE) (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alan Farahani.

The measurement of carbonized domesticated cereal caryopses through a number of established morphometric parameters has the potential to provide information on past cultivation conditions, crop processing practices, and taphonomic processes. This poster presents the results of morphometric analyses using a microscope-mounted camera on carbonized cereal caryopses of wheat (Triticum aestivum/durum and Triticum dicoccum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) collected from the archaeological site of Dhiban,...

Mortar and pestle (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Paul Fouglas Campbell. David Wescott.

The Myth of a Marginal Environment: Redefining a Yucatecan Landscape (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Caroline Antonelli.

This paper examines shifting environmental paradigms in the Maya realm. Using Mayapan as a case-study, a site long-considered to be located in a "marginal" environment for agricultural productivity, I will evaluate site resilience, sustainability, and self-sufficiency and use these concepts to create a more nuisanced perspective of human-environment interactions. Data from Mayapan will be cross-referenced to other similar sites across the Maya region. I will show that assumptions about the...

New Perspectives on Human-Plant Histories in Delaware: Acheobotanical Data from the Route 301 Mega Project. (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Justine McKnight.

This paper will focus on the interpretation a large flotation-derived floral dataset produced from seven archaeological mitigations accomplished under the Route 301 Mega Project. A diverse range of features (wells, cellars, smokehouses, root cellars, middens, kilns, slave quarters) were sampled from a variety of domestic, agricultural and small-scale industrial contexts that comprised the social landscape of rural Delaware during the 1700’s and 1800’s. The collective floral data make a...

Niche Construction and Early Agriculture in Northeastern North America (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gary Crawford.

Agriculture in the Northeast is a secondary development with research focusing on migration as a result of population growth in agricultural centers and the introduction of maize, bean, squash , sunflower and tobacco and the subsequent consequences of their introduction. Unlike pristine/primary origins whose explanations are couched in complex ecological considerations, be they interactive (ecological engineering, niche construction) or based in HBE (human behavioral ecology), ecological...

Niche construction of agricultural communities in the Yiluo and Guanzhong regions of northern China in the Mid-Holocene (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gyoung-Ah Lee.

Through a lens of niche construction perspective, this paper examines evolving enterprise of plant managements in different ecological and cultural contexts in Mid-Holocene China. Along a stretch of the Yellow River, bulging communities, facing different challenges of changing climates and ecological constraints, constructed agricultural and socially intertwined niches. Multiple Yangshao communities in the Yiluo valley and those in Guanzhong Plain are such examples. Drastically different from...

No Attempt Was Made to Cultivate Crops until Very Recent Times (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Pool.

Ethnographic and ethnohistoric information are significant sources of data for archaeologists in developing various models. It is a widely held belief among archaeologists that the Chiricahua Apache subsistence was based only on food foraging and raiding. This interpretation originates with Opler, the primary ethnographer for the Chiricahua Apache ,who stated that "no attempt was made to cultivate crops until very recent times" and "By the time the Eastern Chiricahua became seriously interested...
