This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological studies focusing on pottery of the fifteenth century onwards are still a scarce topic of research in Galicia.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Increased monetisation - the plentiful supply of money, including physical cash - is often seen as an unalloyed economic good. However, studies which focus on money supply as an abstract, rather than money's physical and institutional form, can underplay variations in access to money and to specific types of money. Archaeology provides...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In November 1542 King Charles I passed the “New Laws” outlawing Indigenous slavery in the Spanish Empire. Yet, the laws left legal justifications for enslaving indigenous peoples, most significantly “just war.” Thus the New Laws did not end the Indigenous slave trade but moved it from the core of the empire to its periphery; to...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Physicists say that energy is the ability to cause change (or do work), while power is the rate at which energy is transmitted or used. When human’s harness or harvest energy, it must take material form so people can use, transmit, or store it. During industrialization, humans increased scales of energy mobility through extraction, storage, and...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. We outline a new isotopic approach for exploring the importance of saltmarsh grazing in the past. Saltmarshes and other wetland habitats are important cultural and ecological resources because they can provide abundant, lower-input fodder for livestock and perform vital ecological services. For this reason, historical archaeological and ecological communities share a common interest in...
