(1) DeFabio: The Notion Archaeological Survey, started in 2014 and directed by Prof. Christopher Ratté, is the first comprehensive study of the ancient port-city of Notion in western Turkey. Our surface collection results have found that the main dates of occupation at Notion were the Hellenistic to early Roman periods (3rd c. BCE to 1st c. CE). Our survey, however, was not the first investigation of Notion. Several earlier projects conducted limited excavations within and around the city. While preliminary results of these excavations have been published, there have been no detailed artifact studies. This talk will present the preliminary results of an ongoing project that uses museum collections and archival documents related to these previous projects to complement what we know about Notion from our survey.

(2) Frankl:The Western Argolid Regional Project (WARP) is an Intensive, siteless pedestrian survey investigating a 30 km² area of the Inachos River Valley in Greece’s North-East Peloponnese. The project seeks a diachronic understanding of the city of Argos’ hinterland with attention to settlement patterns, land-use, and microregional paths of movement. WARP conducted three field seasons between 2014 and 2016 and has now moved into the first stages of data analysis and publication. This brown bag will highlight the project’s methodologies as well as its initial analysis of Roman period data (1st BCE-7th CE). Our analysis of the Roman period begins with the examination of landscape-wide artifact distributions. These distributions are rendered at multiple chronological scales with attention to different artifact function types and measures of diversity. Additionally, these findings will be contextualized with other survey data collected in the region, which remains one of the most extensively investigated areas in Greece. WARP’s findings can, thus, revise and add further texture to existing narratives of Roman Imperialism.

The Transition to Cultural Adaptations in the Middle Stone Age in East Africa (February 14, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61043 61043-15024929@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 14, 2019 12:00pm

The Middle Stone Age began over 300 thousand years ago in East Africa. It marks the beginning of the Revolution that wasn’t in the evolution of modern behavior. Binford characterized the transition to cultural adaptations as the development of a “culturally-constructed” environment or “niche” that was strategically exploited with advanced planning. Gamble proposed that this transition involved the development of intergroup social interaction and information exchange networks to extend the social landscape beyond the boundaries of the local home range. Cultural niche construction using social information for planning is a key feature of the transition from primate troop to human tribal organization. I will present new archaeological evidence from Middle Stone Age sites in the Kenya Rift Valley for this troop-to-tribe transition.

Campfires and Footprints: Small Geophysical Targets with Big Potential (March 14, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62040 62040-15276120@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 12:00pm

Geophysical prospection methods have been used for decades as an aid to archaeology. Much of this work has focused on defining boundaries of known sites, helping to guide ongoing excavations, and especially imaging large architectural targets. In contrast, this talk focuses on detecting very small geophysical targets, many of which would never likely be found without geophysical methods. We will first focus on magnetic detection of small, discrete campfires in Alaska, with examples spanning 12,000 years. Implications of hearth detection will be considered in the context of broader debates about the peopling of N. America. We will then turn our attention to White Sands, New Mexico, where recent geophysical work with magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar has successfully detected thousands of Pleistocene “ghost tracks”. These footprints, many of which are invisible to the eye, record the interactions of humans and megafauna at the close of the last Ice Age. Recently collected examples of human, mammoth, and ground sloth prints will be presented. Together, these examples show instances where geophysical imaging takes on a more indispensable role in archaeological research by allowing access to untapped archaeological and iconological archives that have eluded conventional detection methods.

Everyday life of death: Accessing history on a human scale (March 28, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62624 62624-15414520@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2019 12:00pm

Understanding the role human agency and interaction play in the flows of history is a challenging task. Archaeology is well equipped to study history as sequences of transformative events linked together loosely by the thread of time, or as a continuous process of everyday life where time serves as a function of cultural persistence. On a macro-scale the sweeping reconfiguration of human-material relations marked by events and interpreted as cultural change have been at the center of archaeological practice since the first descriptions of ‘cultures’ as convenient analytical and spatio-temporal units of analysis. Within narratives of everyday life, the emphasis shifted to the mundane, to the multivocality and messiness of social existence. Corresponding to the decreasing scale of analysis and interpretive context, the struggle became to present the ways in which people’s repetitive day-to-day practices mattered and figured into broad-scale historical events. In my current project, I attempt to redirect focus from easily discernible events to political discourse, to the processes that lead up to change and to the ways in which agency constitutes the textur history. Through the analysis of mortuary practice, I will present a case study exploring the ways in which members of the Bronze Age Kajászó community engaged in political action surrounding change and persistence in the wake of some momentous transformations.

Using Behavioral Ecology to Understand Mobility among Prehistoric Andean Hunter-Gatherers (April 4, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62819 62819-15475213@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 4, 2019 12:00pm

In his monograph Toward a Behavioral Ecology of Lithic Technology (2009), Todd Surovell models mathematically the economics of prehistoric hunter-gatherers’ production, use, and discard of lithic technologies. Although there is great potential in his models to extend our understanding of hunter-gatherer mobility patterns and landscape use, they have received little empirical testing in the decade since publication. This talk describes the application of one subset of his models—those that use proportions of the lithic assemblage to estimate site occupation length—to a diachronic study of Cunchaicha, a stratified, multi-component prehistoric rock shelter of the Peruvian Andes.

The Etruscans of first millennium BC central Italy are renowned for their artistic output, but what were the underlying processes of settlement and infrastructure that supported their political achievements? The lecture will provide the complementary evidence of state formation from regional survey and economy that allow comparison of Etruscan state formation with the classic studies from the Old and the New World. The lecture is based on Simon Stoddart's forthcoming book for Cambridge University Press: Power and Place in Etruria. The spatial dynamics of a Mediterranean civilisation. 1200-500 B.C. and more recent collaborative work.

Caves of Chachapoyas, Peru:Modern Human Activities and Potential Prehistoric Analogies -Lauren Pratt Doc Candidate Anthropology.

PhD candidate Lauren Pratt will share the results of her research this research in Peru this summer. Although persistent use of sites over time is a common theme in archaeology, rapid changes in subsistence, economy, and technology throughout most of the world over the past few centuries means that anthropologists rarely have the opportunity to see such persistence in action. In the Chachapoyas cultural area of northern Peru, however, caves and rockshelters remain in regular use by local agriculturalists. Previous work in the region (Church 1996) suggests that in some cases modern use of these caves provides useful analogs to prehistoric behavior. Here, I discuss a variety of caves and rockshelters surveyed in July 2019, highlighting modern human activities and possible analogies to the past.

First year graduate student Julian Schultz will share some of the results from Florida State University's excavations (in 2016) at a Swift Creek/Weeden Island ring-midden, where he completed his undergrad. Julian analyzed the mollusk remains from three shell units, and in doing so found there to be a steep decline in the prevalence of a key resource, the eastern oyster, as the site's occupation waned. His talk will be primarily focused around this decline, the factors that may have caused it, and how this statistical drop-off potentially relates to the site's eventual abandonment. In addition, he will explore how this statistical feature places Mound Field into the prehistoric landscape, both in the Southeast and (to a degree) in a more global sense.

The site of Jahuay, located 20 km north of the Chincha Valley, experienced multiple occupations spanning two millennia. Recently, the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueológica de Jahuay has uncovered burials from multiple late prehispanic contexts. This talk presents ongoing research into these mortuary traditions. Among our findings, we observe that the unique mortuary patterns previously documented by our colleagues in Chincha reached beyond the valley proper during the Late Intermediate Period and Late Horizon, demonstrating the persistence of the social and political ties between Jahuay and the Chincha Valley. The variation across these mortuary contexts raises numerous questions about the social and political organization of Chincha and the surrounding regions, prior to and during the Inca imperial conquest.

Archaeological Chemistry at EMU: Combining Chemical Analysis and Radiocarbon Dating (October 17, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68381 68381-17071656@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 17, 2019 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Many artifacts are too small or fragile to survive the standard methods for preparing samples for radiocarbon dating. Plasma chemical oxidation (PCO) can be used to extract organic carbon from inorganic carbon matrices to date rock paintings and to date fragile organic materials without destroying them, allowing for repeated dating of the same sample with accelerator mass spectrometry. Chemical analysis with ambient ionization mass spectrometry and other methods can provide further information about such materials. Our current projects seek to determine the accuracy, precision and minimum sample size that can be AMS dated with PCO sample preparation, allowing us to gather more information from small and fragmentary objects that could not be dated otherwise.

Jomon is the name of the prehistoric period and culture on the Japanese archipelago that follows the Paleolithic period and precedes the agricultural Yayoi period. This talk reviews new developments and current issues in Jomon archaeology, with an emphasis on long-term continuity and change in landscape practices in different parts of the Japanese archipelago. New lines of archaeological evidence, including molecular isotopic investigation of pottery and summed probability distribution of 14C dates, can help archaeologists tackle key questions that still remain unanswered.

The Valley as the City: Extended Pastoral Urbanism in the Inner Asian Steppe (November 14, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69296 69296-17299781@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 14, 2019 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Despite productive developments in comparative studies of early urbanism, mobile pastoral societies of the steppe continue to receive cursory attention and constructed ‘urban’ centers are persistently deemed incompatible with mobile lifeways and pastoral economies. Sites with prominent buildings and production facilities in Inner Asia, however, evidence the development of permanent centers of intensive social, economic, and ritual activities among steppe pastoralists. Through remains of the first ‘proto-urban’ establishments of the first steppe empire (the Xiongnu, ca. 200 BCE - 100 CE), I argue here that the components and arrangements of these urban settings would have been structured according to the logistical and social parameters of large herds and small-holder herding households that made up the majority of the populations that moved though and occupied such centers in the steppe. This study thus adapts concepts of ‘low-density’ urbanism and fluctuating ‘urban sprawls’ to formulate a model of extended pastoro-urban landscapes – a lattice of monumental structures as well as permanent workshops, corralling and pasturing spaces, and fluid yet structured residential areas, equally defined by natural geography and built environments.

Colonial Interaction and Resource Exploitation in the Sinis Peninsula (November 21, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69567 69567-17366246@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 21, 2019 12:00pm

In 1921, travel writer D.H. Lawrence called the western Mediterranean island of Sardinia an unsubdued landscape “outside the circuit of civilization,” never fully colonized by Romans, Phoenicians, or Greeks. This view is representative of wider scholarly perceptions, which have generally considered the coastal colonies of ancient traders separately from the rural, inland landscapes inhabited by the indigenous populations. In order to break down this binary, Sinis Archaeological Project explores ancient colonial interaction, landscape use, and resource exploitation in the coastal and inland landscapes of west-central Sardinia. Dr. Gosner will provide a preliminary report of our first two seasons of landscape survey, held in 2018 and 2019. She discusses the methodology for our multi-scalar survey, discuss the preliminary results from our survey of an inland agricultural zone, and assess how survey can provide a clearer picture of Phoenician, Punic, and Roman strategies for colonization and trade on the island.
