Book Synopsis Wet Site Archaeology by : Barbara A. Purdy
Download or read book Wet Site Archaeology written by Barbara A. Purdy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the result of an International Conference on Wet Site Archaeology funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, explores the rewards and responsibilities of recovering unique assemblages from water-saturated deposits. Characteristics common to all archaeological wet sites are identified from Newfoundland to Chile, Polynesia to Florida, and from the Late Pleistocene to the Twentieth Century. Topics include innovative excavation and preservation methods; the need for adequate funding to preserve and analyze the abundant biological and cultural remains recovered only at archaeological wet sites; expanded knowledge of past environments, subsistence, technologies, artistic expressions, skeletal structure, and pathologies; the urgency to inform developers and governmental bodies about the invisible heritage entombed in wetlands that is often destroyed before it can be investigated; a formula for establishing priorities for excavating wet sites; and how to determine when enough of a wet site has been sampled.Many famous sites and discoveries are described in this volume, including Herculaneum, Hoko River, Hontoon Island, Key Marco, Monte Verde, Ozette, Somerset Levels, Windover, bog bodies of Northern Europe, and lake dwellers of Switzerland. Professional and amateur archaeologists, as well as anyone interested in archaeology or the significance of wet site archaeology will find this book fascinating.

Book Synopsis Hidden Dimensions by : Kathryn Bernick
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.
Book Synopsis Site Catchment Analysis of the Little Qualicum River Site, DiSc 1 by : Kathryn N. Bernick
Download or read book Site Catchment Analysis of the Little Qualicum River Site, DiSc 1 written by Kathryn N. Bernick and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavations at the Little Qualicum River site, DiSc-, yielded a Gulf of Georgia culture type assemblage dating from about A.D. 1000. In addition to stone, bone, antler, and shell, materials commonly found in prehistoric sites on Vancouver Island, artifacts made of wood and bark were recovered. It is the presence of the unique floral material which prompted the dual focus of this thesis: a general description of the site and the cultural assemblage (with particular emphasis on the wood and bark artifacts. And a locational analysis which relates the range of materials (resources) to the subsistence activities carried out at the site.

Book Synopsis Violence and Warfare among Hunter-Gatherers by : Mark W Allen
Download or read book Violence and Warfare among Hunter-Gatherers written by Mark W Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did warfare originate? Was it human genetics? Social competition? The rise of complexity? Intensive study of the long-term hunter-gatherer past brings us closer to an answer. The original chapters in this volume examine cultural areas on five continents where there is archaeological, ethnographic, and historical evidence for hunter-gatherer conflict despite high degrees of mobility, small populations, and relatively egalitarian social structures. Their controversial conclusions will elicit interest among anthropologists, archaeologists, and those in conflict studies.
Download or read book Waterlogged written by Jenny M. Cohen and published by Washington State University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Northwest Coast in antiquity, an estimated 85 percent of objects were made entirely from materials that normally do not survive the ravages of time. Fortunately, the region’s wetlands, silt-laden rivers, high groundwater levels, and abundant rainfall provide ideal conditions for long-term preservation of waterlogged wood. Few archaeologists intentionally search for them, yet every Northwest Coast archaeologist may encounter waterlogged cultural remains--even inland, away from the coast. Those who investigate can uncover artifacts, structures, and environmental remains missing from the usual reconstructions of past lifeways. Currently, wet-site archaeology is not widely taught at North American universities. Waterlogged helps bridge that gap. Sixteen archaeologists who work on the Northwest Coast discuss their research in regional and global perspectives, share highlights of their findings, provide guidance on how to locate wet sites, and outline procedures for recovering and caring for perishable waterlogged artifacts. The volume offers practical information about logistics, equipment, and supplies, including a wet-site field kit list. Waterlogged presents previously unpublished original research spanning the past ten thousand years of human presence on the Northwest Coast. Examples include the first fish trap features in the region to be identified as longshore weirs, a complete 750-year-old basket cradle from the lower Fraser Valley, wooden self-armed fishhooks from the Salish Sea, and a paleoethnobotanical study at the 10,500-year-old Kilgii Gwaay wet site on Haida Gwaii. Contributors also discuss insider-vs.-outsider perceptions of wetlands in Cowichan traditional territory on Vancouver Island, a habitation site in a disappearing wetland in the Fraser Valley, a collaborative project on the Babine River in the Fraser Plateau, and Early and Middle Holocene waterlogged materials from British Columbia’s central coast.
Book Synopsis Emerging from the Mist by : Quentin Mackie
Download or read book Emerging from the Mist written by Quentin Mackie and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of the precontact nature of the Northwest Coast has changed dramatically over the last twenty years. This book brings together the most recent research on the culture history and archaeology of a region of longstanding anthropological importance, whose complex societies represent the most prominent examples of hunters and gatherers. Combining archaeology, ethnohistory, and ethnography, this collection investigates several aspects of this cultural complexity, carrying on the intellectual traditions of Donald H. Mitchell and Wayne Suttles.
Book Synopsis A Most Indispensable Art by : James B. Petersen
Download or read book A Most Indispensable Art written by James B. Petersen and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays chronicles the diversity and richness of one broad category of traditional material culture - fiber industries or textiles - among prehistoric and historic Native Americans in eastern North America. Such industries, which include basketry, fabrics, cordage, and netting, played an important role in the economic, social, and ceremonial life of indigenous cultures. However, because of the extreme age of the artifacts, their fragile nature, and unfavorable preservation conditions, knowledge of these industries has long been incomplete - resulting in a gap in scholarship that this volume does much to address.

Book Synopsis Analysis of Artifacts from Four Duke Point Area Sites, Near Nanaimo, B.C. by : Rebecca Anne Wukasch Murray
Download or read book Analysis of Artifacts from Four Duke Point Area Sites, Near Nanaimo, B.C. written by Rebecca Anne Wukasch Murray and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1982-01-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using artifact data collected and analyzed in 1978 from 4 sites in the Duke Point area and comparable data from other sites in the southern Gulf of Georgia region, it is demonstrated that perceived differences in artifact assemblages, particularly on a presence/absence basis, are not as clear-cut as they were once considered to be. Rather, the significant differences lie in the relative frequencies and percentages of certain artifact types. The utility of the current three-part framework for archaeological analysis, which has encouraged the interpretation of migration, diffusion, and independent invention to explain the origins and temporal variation of culture in the southern Gulf of Georgia region, is critically examined.
