The Iron Age of Northwest Portugal: Leftovers of Behavior

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 86th Annual Meeting, Online (2021)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "The Iron Age of Northwest Portugal: Leftovers of Behavior" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Archaeology is about material objects and human behavior. We leave our behavioral imprint in the things we think, invent, make, modify, and with which we interact. Materiality and its archaeological leftovers speak of the ways people in the past construct their world and in turn were shaped by that construction. These (now) social truisms are the backbone of inferring patterns of behavior. The papers in this session address various aspects of the multidimensional qualities of materiality using divergent thinking to consider past patterned behavior.
