Gender and Status Representation in Northwest Coast BurialsBurchell, Meghan E.M. 09 1900 (has links)
<p>I apply a contextual analysis to the mortuary data of the Northwest Coast between ca.6000- 1000 BP to show that there are visible temporal and spatial patterns relating to the ways males and females are represented in burials. I have colleted and analyzed the data from 1044 individual burials from 45 burials sites from the north, south and central regions of coastal British Columbia. I examined variables including: burial mode: position of the body: type of interment and the types of grave goods in relation to gender and age groups. The differences between male and female burials are most reflected by the type of grave good(s) and the frequency and type of interment. Although there is no patterning among the burials from the Northwest Coast as a whole, gender-based differences in mortuary treatment are clearly evident within and between regions when the scale of analysis is reduced.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

INTERSOCIETAL INTERACTION ON THE NORTHWEST MESOAMERICAN FRONTIERNeill, Christopher January 1998 (has links)
<p>Various hypotheses concerning macroregional spheres of interaction affecting La Quemada's place in Mesoamerican history are evaluated. Pottery and human bone from the 1987-89 La Quemada project are analysed for information on intersocietal interaction. The hypothesis that La Quemada was involved in turquoise trade with the American Southwest (Chaco Canyon) in the Early Postclassic is also examined. The results of these analyses indicate that La Quemada had limited contacts outside its neighbouring valleys. None ofthe materials necessarily represent trade and there is no suggestion that a formally organised system existed. Attempts to find archaeological evidence for the ethnohistorical myths that relate the migration of Nahua speakers northward and the return ofthe Tolteca-Chichimeca to Tula fail to consider the difficulties with associating material remains with ethnic identity. It is not yet possible to explain how La Quemada was integrated into regional and macroregional scales of interaction.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

AP2017: 12th International Conference of Archaeological ProspectionJennings, Benjamin R., Gaffney, Christopher F., Sparrow, Thomas, Gaffney, S. 09 November 2017 (has links)
Yes / Introduction:
The 12th International Conference of Archaeological
Prospection saw a return to the University of
Bradford, the host for the 1st ICAP conference in
1995. Much has changed in the world of archaeological
prospection since that inaugural event, but
many things have also remained constant. Perusing
the abstract list from the 1st conference reveals
that there no less than 6 presenters who returned
to present, and many more of the initial group returned
to attend, at this, the 12th conference.
For the 12th International Conference of Archaeological
Prospection a number of key themes were
targeted, divided in to six conference sessions:
• Techniques and new technological developments
• Applications and reconstructing landscapes
and urban environments
• Integration of techniques and inter-disciplinarity,
with focus on visualisation and interpretation
• Marine, inter-tidal and wetland prospection
techniques and applications
• Low altitude prospection techniques and applications
• Commercial archaeological prospection in
the contemporary world
Many of the presentations in the Techniques and
technological developments session highlighted
the use of automated process in the filtering and
recognition of data, and also the use of vehicles for
the rapid capture of high resolution data.
The Applications and reconstruction of landscapes
and urban environments session highlighted contemporary
research in a wide range of locations
and temporal settings from around the world, from
Stonehenge to Mexico, and from Northern Plains
earthlodges to 19th century landscape gardens.
The variety of presentations amply demonstrates
the applicability of prospection techniques to a wide
range of situations and purposes, and highlights
the expansion seen in archaeological prospection
since the 1st ICAP conference in 1995.
Within the integration of techniques and visualisation
session a number of presentations detailed
the use of simultaneous data capture, and how
such techniques have been integrated with specific
research programmes to enhance the understanding
of archaeological sites.
The special sessions on Marine, inter-tidal and wetland
prospection and Low altitude prospection for cussed on new and emerging technologies broadening
the horizon for archaeological prospection.
The use of underwater vehicles and aerial vehicles
for data capture in the form of marine seismic
data and LiDAR is detailed through a number of
case studies. These demonstrate the novel use of
emerging technologies for archaeological prospection,
and the success of these applications will certainly
lead to the growth of this field within coming
years.
A special session on commercial archaeological
prospection combined a number of presentations
from commercial practitioners in the field with a
workshop session covering a range of key issues
and standards relating to practices within both commercial
and research archaeological prospection.
The success of the 12th International Conference of
Archaeological Prospection is due to both the presenting
contributors and attending delegates. We
also recognise the effort made by both the Organising
Committe and Scientific committee, and thank
the members for their dedication in organising the
event, and for the prompt review and comments on
all of the scientific papers.
On behlaf of both the ICAP 2017 Organising Committee
and the Scientific Committee we extend sincerest
thanks to all of the presenters and attendees
at the conference, and very much look forward to
the 13th conference in 2019.

When Metal met Stone : Searching for traces of metal tool utilization during the production of Late Neolithic Nordic Flint DaggersStrand Tanner, Gregory H January 2015 (has links)
This paper deals with the Late Neolithic Nordic Flint Daggers excavated from the gallery grave at Utbogården, Västergötland County, Sweden. Studies were undertaken in order to gain more understanding regarding the production processes and types of tools utilized during production/reduction, which can be assigned to certain specific, well preserved examples of these daggers. The results of these studies, in turn, will be able to shed light on the processes involved in producing Late Neolithic daggers in general, regardless of their individual states of preservation. This will be attempted by means of experimental flint knapping, comparative microscopic analysis, and chemical analysis.

Paleoethnobotany and Starch Grain Residue Analysis of Pottery From Site 8BR85, Cape Canaveral, FloridaPark, Hanna 01 January 2022 (has links) (PDF)
Located on Cape Canaveral within the Indian River region of Central Florida, the Burns Site (8BR85) reveals important information about the Ais, a mobile fisher-gatherer group who occupied the area during the Malabar II Period (A.D.1000 – 1600). As a bridging region between the two largest cultures in Florida (Timucua to the North and Calusa to the South), Central Florida and the Ais, in general, are under-studied concerning paleoethnobotanical research. The research presented here investigated starch residues of ceramic vessel sherds from the Burns Site which were identified through a comparative catalog which was built-in part of this research project. Results proved that microbotanical study of the prehistoric period is feasible in Central Florida, where several different kinds of food plants were found during this study, including important economic plants such as maize (Zea mays), common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), acorn (Quercus sp.), smilax (Smilax sp.), and coontie (Zamia integrifolia). Although this research could not prove (or disprove) agriculture in the region, it did confirm various kinds of food plants were consumed by Ais prehistorically, including some plants without known historical usage. The results of this project indicate that the prehistoric Ais may have lived a different lifestyle than previously believed.
