The Cividade of Bagunte is located on a prominent hill near the confluence of the Rivers Ave and Este. During the Iron Age, there likely would have been panoramic vistas that stretched well over 15 kilometers on a clear day, though this is mostly unnoticeable at ground level in modern times due to dense foliage. From the few areas that do not have trees and in combination with technology to ‘see’ through the trees, it is clear the site’s viewshed includes several other Iron Age castros, as well...

Iron production was a critical process in the expansion of the Angkorian Khmer Empire. Recent surveys by INDAP around the Phnom Dek region have revealed a massive industrial landscape that appears to have fueled Angkor’s expansionist ambitions between the 11th to 13th centuries. This paper presents a spatial and morphological GIS analysis of hundreds of slag concentrations mapped in this region to evaluate changes in the scale and organization of metal production. Combined with pXRF data of tap...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. When comparing the volume of studies conducted concerning precontact ceramics in the eastern Snake River Plain of Idaho to its neighboring regions, it is evident that the underwhelming amount of information is due to the lack of samples and the provincial reliability of the samples. Many past studies have been limited to garnering research data from...

The significance of cultural resources along Oregon’s dynamic coast continues to have a stronger presence and recognition in landscape management. As future projects look to develop off Oregon’s coast, there is a need for predictive modeling and analysis of cultural resources in a landscape that today is submerged. Paleolandscapes having high potential for a variety of cultural resources are identified using isostatic rebound adjustments and bathometric data. One such landform is off-shore of...

Many studies have discussed the first century BC to first century AD Nabataean rock-cut monuments in the Nabataean city of Petra, Jordan. These surveys provide information about proposed chronologies for the façade tombs and limited data about burial customs of the Nabataeans themselves. One neglected topic is the Nabataean tomb placement in relation to the structural geology of the Petra region. During the 2014 field season of the BYU Ad-Deir Monument and Plateau project, it was discovered...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology, Activism, and Protest", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1870, former captive Ervin James (1815-1872) purchased one hundred and five acres from two white landowners to establish his family farm. By 1891, his sons had bought an additional 140 acres where they grew crops, raised livestock, and hunted wildlife in the swamp. At the community’s peak in the 1920s, over 250 people called Jamestown...
