Volume nine is dedicated to the well-preserved wet site of Sunken Village, on the southern end of Sauvie Island, Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. Sunken Village is one of only c.250 archaeological sites in the U.S.A. to have been given National Historic Landmark status. The Sunken Village report is set up in six synthetic sections, starting with a general introduction and then going on to look at physical setting; the archaeological investigations; floral and faunal remains; artifacts; and finally a summary of the ecological, artifactual, and functional context of this newly investigated site.

Download or read book The end of the lake dwellings in the Circum Alpine region written by Francesco Menotti and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than 3500 years of occupation in the Neolithic and Bronze Age, the many lake-dwellings around the Circum-Alpine region ‘suddenly’ came to an end. Throughout that period alternating phases of occupation and abandonment illustrate how resilient lacustrine populations were against change: cultural/environmental factors might have forced them to relocate temporarily, but they always returned to the lakes. So why were the lake-dwellings finally abandoned and what exactly happened towards the end of the Late Bronze Age that made the lake-dwellers change their way of life so drastically? The new research presented here draws upon the results of a four-year-long project dedicated to shedding light on this intriguing conundrum. Placing a particular emphasis upon the Bronze Age, a multidisciplinary team of researchers has studied the lake-dwelling phenomenon inside out, leaving no stones unturned, enabling identification of all possible interactive socioeconomic and environmental factors that can be subsequently tested against each other to prove (or disprove) their validity. By refitting the various pieces of the jigsaw a plausible, but also rather unexpected, picture emerges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook sets out the key issues and debates in the theory and practice of wetland archaeology which has played a crucial role in studies of our past. Due to the high quantity of preserved organic materials found in humid environments, the study of wetlands has allowed archaeologists to reconstruct people's everyday lives in great detail.
Download or read book Hidden Dimensions written by Kathryn Bernick and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden Dimensions is a collection of essays drawn from papers presented at an international conference in Vancouver, British Columbia in April 1995. Scholars from around the globe examine several aspects of wetland archaeology in North America, Mexico, Europe, eastern Siberia, and New Zealand. Some of the essays in this volume explore environmental and historical contexts of wet-sites as well as past human adaptation to wetland environments. Others concentrate on the contributions of wetland archaeology to reconstructions of cultural history and the interpretation of unique perishable materials. In addition to discussions on the dynamic nature of wetlands and concern about the future of the cultural resources they contain, the authors look at practical issues of land management and object conservation. In Hidden Dimensions the authors seek to raise awareness of the significance of wetland archaeology issues at a time when wetlands around the globe are rapidly shrinking and their cultural contents are at risk of disappearing.
Download or read book Wetland Archaeology Environments written by Malcolm Lillie and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 2007 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past thirty years or so, wetlands have been at the forefront of developments in understanding past cultural activity and associated landscapes. Waterlogged environments and contexts not only preserve the organic part of the cultural record, but they also provide an archive of the environmental conditions pertaining at the time the deposits form, thereby allowing the detailed reconstruction of their associated environments and landscapes.

Book excerpt: Knjiga raziskuje pojav kolišč z inovativnega vidika: upošteva in poskuša rekonstruirati procese nastajanja in razgradnje, ki potekajo in sodelujejo pri ustvarjanju arheološkega zapisa, ki ga ne odkrijemo po tisočletjih, pri čemer se osredotoča predvsem na evropske študije primerov. Drugi del knjige je usmerjen v raziskovanje pojava koliščarskih naselbin na Ljubljanskem barju, pri čemer so na novo začrtani glavni koraki raziskave, odkritja in morebitna nova osvetlitev nekaterih še vedno odprtih vprašanj.

Book excerpt: HANDBOOK OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SCIENCES A modern and comprehensive introduction to methods and techniques in archaeology In the newly revised Second Edition of the Handbook of Archaeological Sciences, a team of more than 100 researchers delivers a comprehensive and accessible overview of modern methods used in the archaeological sciences. The book covers all relevant approaches to obtaining and analyzing archaeological data, including dating methods, quaternary paleoenvironments, human bioarchaeology, biomolecular archaeology and archaeogenetics, resource exploitation, archaeological prospection, and assessing the decay and conservation of specimens. Overview chapters introduce readers to the relevance of each area, followed by contributions from leading experts that provide detailed technical knowledge and application examples. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to human bioarchaeology, including hominin evolution and paleopathology The use of biomolecular analysis to characterize past environments Novel approaches to the analysis of archaeological materials that shed new light on early human lifestyles and societies In-depth explorations of the statistical and computational methods relevant to archaeology Perfect for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of archaeology, the Handbook of Archaeological Sciences will also earn a prominent place in the libraries of researchers and professionals with an interest in the geological, biological, and genetic basis of archaeological studies.
Download or read book Wood in Archaeology written by Lee A. Newsom and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Lee A. Newsom offers an overview of wood in archaeology --how and where it is preserved and analyzed, its relevance to paleoecological and paleoenvironmental questions, as well as its role as an important source of information in modern archaeological science and related historical disciplines. Her book addresses a range of questions about wood reliance practices, sustainability, and the overall relevance of forest ecosystems to past cultures and cultural evolution. Newsom provides a step-by-step treatment of archaeological analysis with clear explanations and examples from various corners of the world. She also shows how the study of archaeological wood is relevant to modern restoration ecology and conservation biology that tracks long-term ancient ecosystems, including questions of global change. Demonstrating the vital role of wood and timber resources to past human societies, her book will interest scholars and students of archaeology, historical ecology, paleoecology, and wood science.
