The Ideal Free Distribution, Population Packing, and the Forager to Producer Transition in the Southern Levant (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Natalie Munro. Elic Weitzel.

This is an abstract from the "Fifty Years of Fretwell and Lucas: Archaeological Applications of Ideal Distribution Models" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Using predictions derived from the ideal free distribution, we test the hypothesis that the forager to farmer transition in the southern Levant emerged from a context of increased population packing. By constructing population size estimates derived from radiocarbon date frequencies and modeling...

The Impact of Climate Dynamics and Cultural Change on the Demography and Population Structure of Pre-Columbian Populations in the Atacama (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lars Fehren-Schmitz. Kelly Harkins.

Archaeological studies in the Central Andes have pointed at the temporal coincidence of climatic fluctuations and episodes of cultural transition throughout the pre-Columbian period. Although most scholars explain the connection between environmental and cultural changes by the impact of climatic alterations on the capacities of the ecosystems inhabited by pre-Columbian cultures, direct evidence for assumed demographic consequences has been missing so far. Desert margin areas, as we find them at...

Impact of Paleoclimate Variation on the Settlement History of the Columbia-Fraser Plateau through the Use of Summed Radiocarbon Probability Distributions (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Brown. James Chatters. Anna Prentiss. Steve Hackenberger.

This is an abstract from the "People, Climate, and Proxies in Holocene Western North America" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Settlement histories of the Columbia-Fraser Plateau have been compiled through the record of riverine villages of the Columbia and Fraser Rivers and their many tributaries. Columbia-Fraser Plateau chronologies have seldom been revisited in the years since their publications in syntheses of the 1980s–1990s. Our analysis of...

Impacts of Abrupt Climate Change Events on Human Paleodemography in the Great Basin (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Thomas. Erick Robinson.

This is an abstract from the "People, Climate, and Proxies in Holocene Western North America" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A central question of research on prehistoric human-environment interaction concerns the role of abrupt versus gradual climate and environmental changes on human demography. This research requires high resolution, regional-scale paleoenvironmental records that provide researchers with the ability to discern variable spatial...

The Importance of Large-Scale Collaborative Lidar Research in the Maya Lowlands of Northern Peten (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Francisco Estrada-Belli. Marcello Canuto. Thomas Garrison. Ramesh Shrestha. Marianne Hernandez.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since 2009, lidar technology has been revolutionizing lowland Maya archaeology. Lidar data are most effective, however, when collected broadly and studied collaboratively. Recently, the Pacunam Lidar Initiative adopted this approach, uniting seven different research projects to analyze over 2100 km2 of forest cover of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in northern...

Indians of the Upper Texas Coast (1983)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lawrence E. Aten.

Inferences about and Inferences from: A Comparison of Kernel Density Estimation and Latent Mixture Modeling in Demographic Temporal Frequency Analysis (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William Brown.

This is an abstract from the "Novel Statistical Techniques in Archaeology I (QUANTARCH I)" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Temporal frequency analysis (TFA) comprises methods both for the characterization of temporal distributions of archaeological samples and for drawing inferences about their underlying data generating processes (DGPs). In motivation, these two activities resemble descriptive and inferential statistics, respectively. However,...

Initial Consideration of Boone Phase Demography: Human Remains From Site 23Bo87 (1988)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeffery K. Yelton.

Integrating Archaeological Models and Data with Bayesian Data Assimilation (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicolas Gauthier.

This is an abstract from the "The Expanding Bayesian Revolution in Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological data are crucial for understanding how human societies shaped—and were shaped by—their biophysical environments. Yet these data are often sparse, noisy, and time averaged, making it difficult to uncover patterns of change across space and time. Process-based simulations are one way to fill the gaps in these imperfect proxy...

Integrating Low- and High-Precision Chronologies in North American Archaeology (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erick Robinson. Judson Finley. Chelsea Cheney. Carlton Shield Chief Gover. Jacob Freeman.

This is an abstract from the "Three Sides of a Career: Papers in Honor of Robert L. Kelly" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many archaeologists have questioned the value of using aggregated radiocarbon ages as a proxy measure of past human population growth. Most of these criticisms revolve around the lack of precision in these aggregated approaches. Higher-precision Bayesian approaches have often been presented as a better alternative. However,...

Investigating the Future of Adult Age Estimation (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary Maisel. Katherine Dunning. Jonathan Bethard.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. According to Buikstra and Ubelaker (1994), there are seven primary categories for the age estimation of osteological remains. However, other age categorization schemes exist which differ slightly in their strategies. Moreover, life stages over 50 years of age are poorly represented among most categorization schemes. It was observed that comparative...

Issues Reconstructing the Ancient Population of El Mirador, Guatemala (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Paine. Richard Hansen. Carlos Morales-Aguilar. Kevin Johnston.

El Mirador, in the northern Peten, has redefined our ideas about the Maya Preclassic. Its massive architecture and its complex system of sacbes compare to the largest Classic period centers. Unlike many of its smaller Preclassic neighbors, El Mirador collapsed at the dawn of the Classic. Understanding El Mirador’s organization, economy, and relationship to its environment requires detailed knowledge of the site’s population trajectory. Reconstructing El Mirador’s population trajectory, we face a...
