The recent discovery of several late Linearbandkeramik (LBK) sites in Central Europe, including Vráble

in south-west Slovakia, has revealed evidence for increasing diversity in Neolithic mortuary practices,

which may reflect inter-community war and sociopolitical crisis at the end of the LBK. Here, the

authors combine osteological and radiocarbon analyses of inhumations from Vráble. Rather than a

straightforward sign of inter-community conflict and war, this development reflects a culmination of

internal conflict and a diversification in the ritual treatment of human bodies. The emerging variability

in LBK methods of manipulating and depositing dead bodies can be interpreted as an experimental

approach in how to negotiate social conflicts and community boundaries.

The study of prehistoric textile production requires the excavation of sites with exceptional organic preservation.

Here, the authors focus on thread production using evidence from two fourth-millennium

BC pre-Alpine wetland sites: Arbon-Bleiche 3 in Switzerland and Bad Buchau-Torwiesen II in southern

Germany. A comparison of the spindle whorls from these two settlements with a contemporaneous

East-Central European dataset suggests that multiple culture-historical groups with distinct technological

signatures inhabited Neolithic Central Europe. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of conical spindle

whorls within the pre-Alpine settlements suggests the immigration of both people and technology

from the east, thereby illuminating the wider themes of mobility and innovation in prehistoric Europe.

Antiquity 2021 Vol. 95 (380): 329–348.

The recent discovery of an exceptionally rich grave at La Almoloya in south-eastern Spain illuminates the

political context of Early Bronze Age El Argar society. The quantity, variety and opulence of the grave goods

emphasise the technological, economic and social dimensions of this unique culture. The assemblage

includes politically and ideologically emblematic objects, among which a silver diadem stands out.

Of equally exceptional character is the building under which the grave was found—possibly one of

the first Bronze Age palaces identified in Western Europe. The architecture and artefacts from La Almoloya

provide new insight into emblematic individuals and the exercise of power in societies of marked

economic asymmetry.

Beyond the teleological meaning that the different state theories have attached to this historical category, most of them probably coincide in relating the appearance of the state to the existence of stratified or class societies, in which individuals and social groups can clearly be distinguished in terms of their asymmetric access to

wealth and power.2 These privileges are warranted and legitimised in space and time through different mechanisms and institutions. Legally, this requires the imposition of some form of permanent, usually hereditary, property rights and the establishment of territorial limits, within which these privileges are imposed. The dynastic rule is

another institution by which economic and political privileges are often fixed in time. Effectively, the enforcement of law and domination demands the existence of specific mechanisms of coercion and the concentration of means of violence in

the hands of a dominant class. Apart from the violent imposition of privileges and rights, states always develop their own mechanism of psychological coercion, for example through rituals and imagery of violence, in order to give rise to individual fear and obedience, which form the subjective fabric of domination and hegemony. In general, the ideological and ceremonial paraphernalia of the state are essential to its legitimation.

Lowery, D.L. 2021. Parsons Island, Maryland: Synthesis of Geoarchaeological Investigations, 2013-2020. Chesapeake Watershed Archaeological Research Foundation, the Maryland Historical Trust, the Smithsonian Institution.

On May 20th, 2013, Dr. John Wah and myself visited Parsons Island, Maryland (see Figures 1.1 and 1.2). The expedition on that day represented my second excursion to Parsons in twenty-one years. My first visit to Parsons occurred in 1992 as part of a collective multi-year archaeological survey of the Kent Island area (see Lowery 1993), which was conducted for the Kent Island Heritage Society, the University of Delaware, and the Maryland Historical Trust. In 1992, Parsons Island encompassed 99-acres (see Figure 1.2) and when we re-visited the island in 2013, the island had eroded to ~78-acres. In 2019, the island had been reduced to ~71-acres and presently Parsons consists of ~69-acres. The perimeter of exposed shoreline also changed markedly during this period of time. In 1992, the island had 2.11 linear miles (3.4 km or 11,159 feet) of coastline and by 2019 the amount of coastline had been reduced to 1.65 linear miles (2.66 km or 8,716 feet). Over the twenty-seven-year period, the island has collectively lost about one-acre of land per year to coastal erosion. With the gradual reduction in linear miles of shoreline over this period, it is clear that the rate of annual land loss has actually increased in recent years. Notably, most of the land loss is focused along the island’s southwest margin.

Our re-visit to Parsons Island on May 20th, 2013 (see Figure 1.3), originated as a result of our late Pleistocene stratigraphic and geoarchaeological investigations conducted at nearby Miles Point, Talisman Farm, and Barnstable Hill (see Figure 1.4). The collective research conducted at Parsons Island over the succeeding seven years culminated into a better understanding of the Middle Atlantic’s Paleo-American archaeological record (see Figure 1.4), a higher-resolution evaluation of the region’s late Pleistocene upland stratigraphy, and a means to quantify some of the site formation processes along eroding coastal margins. This monograph synthesizes the results of these investigations. Regardless of the possible age of the Paleo-American record noted at Parsons Island, the primary objective has always been salvage. Some “academicians” and a few “cultural resource managers” view investigations at eroding coastal archaeological sites in the Chesapeake Bay region as being “biased” and “anecdotal” (see Custer 2018: 202). It should be obvious, the erosive effects by the estuarine water of the Chesapeake Bay are unbiased and these waters will indiscriminately destroy both historic sites, as well as prehistoric sites. The results of our collective investigation at Parsons Island also proves that if follow-up investigations are made at “untrustworthy” (Ibid) sites, “anecdotal” discoveries can make major contributions to the regional, as well as North America’s geoarchaeological record.

In 2019, the Chesapeake Watershed Archaeological Research foundation applied for a non-capital grant from the Maryland Historical Trust. The goal of the proposal was to synthesize all of the prior work at Parsons Island, document the island’s archaeological record, and conduct limited excavations inland of the shoreline at 18QU1047 to determine if any in-situ cultural deposits remained.

In this article, we review evidence for the initial presence, later expansion, and subsequent settling in of first Floridians during times when climate change and sea level rise decreased the amount of habitable land. We present projectile-point and formal-tool sequences and estimated chronologies that describe Florida’s: (1) pre-Clovis presence (exploration); (2) Clovis presence focused on river channels, springs, chert resources, and possibly megafauna (colonization); (3) continuation and proliferation of Clovis-related, but post-megafauna late Paleoindian lanceolate point makers that

remained focused on river channels, springs, and chert (expansion); (4) transition to side- and corner-notched points and a plethora of formal tools, along with significant population increase and landscape use occurring away from waterways (settlement); and (5) possible population decline or abandonment, or both, by 10,000 calendar years ago or soon thereafter.

The peopling of the Americas marks a major expansion of humans across the planet. However, questions regarding the timing and mechanisms of this dispersal remain, and the previously accepted model (termed ‘Clovis-first’)—suggesting that the first inhabitants of the Americas were linked with the Clovis tradition, a complex marked by distinctive fluted lithic points1—has been effectively refuted. Here we analyse chronometric data from 42 North American and Beringian archaeological sites using a Bayesian age modelling approach, and use the resulting chronological framework to elucidate spatiotemporal patterns of human dispersal. We then integrate these patterns with the available genetic and climatic evidence. The data obtained show that humans were probably present before, during and immediately after the Last Glacial Maximum (about 26.5–19 thousand years ago)2,3 but that more widespread occupation began during a period of abrupt warming, Greenland Interstadial 1 (about 14.7–12.9 thousand years before ad 2000)4. We also identify the near-synchronous commencement of Beringian, Clovis and Western Stemmed cultural traditions, and an overlap of each with the last dates for the appearance of 18 now-extinct faunal genera. Our analysis suggests that the widespread expansion of humans through North America was a key factor in the extinction of large terrestrial mammals.

Christopher J. Ellis and Jonathan C. Lothrop. 2019. "Early Fluted-biface Variation in Glaciated Northeastern North America", PaleoAmerica 5(2): 121-131.

Most researchers argue that archaeological evidence for the Clovis technological complex, although documented across most of unglaciated North America, is absent in the glaciated Northeast, suggesting that early Paleoindian populations in the latter region were descendent from early Native American peoples associated with Clovis technology. If so, what are the earliest flutedbiface forms in glaciated northeastern North America? To refine developmental and relative chronological relationships of early Paleoindian fluted bifaces in the region, we examine fluted-biface-reduction sequences at the Rogers (Ontario) and West Athens Hill (WAH) (New York) sites, and (2) compare fluted-point samples from early Paleoindian sites in the Northeast and vicinity. For Rogers and WAH, our results document variable frequencies of overshot and overface flaking during fluted-point manufacture – features linked elsewhere to Clovis biface reduction. In addition, analyses identify several early Paleoindian fluted-point samples in the Northeast that bear similarities to Clovis points but differ from, and therefore likely predate Gainey and Gainey-related early Paleoindian point forms in the glaciated Northeast.

We undertake an expanded analysis of the Western Canadian Fluted Points database. Given clear

evidence of biotic habitability along the entire Corridor by 13,000 years ago, fluted point spatial

clusters likely reflect both Clovis contemporaneous and later fluted point instances. Points were

overwhelmingly fashioned on local toolstones, featuring a bimodal length distribution (larger,

relatively unaltered fluted points versus reworked, smaller fluted points at the end of their use

life), mainly found in dispersed landscape settings rather than major kills or campsites. The

temporal cline from older Clovis forms south of the ice masses to younger fluted points in

Alaska suggests fluted point makers traversing the Corridor eventually met populations bearing

eastern Beringian traditions. Corridor fluted point morphologies may indicate the degree to

which diffusion or demic expansion mediated north-south interactions: deeper bases, parallel

sides and multiple basal thinning flakes reflect intermediate forms similar to Younger Dryas-aged

Alaskan fluted points.

Unlike many avenues of social science enquiry, the study of variability in human kinship has been

almost uniquely the domain of anthropologists. Kinship provided core subject matter for more than a

century of anthropological thought (Trautmann 2001 ), and until quite recently, important theoretical

trends in anthropology were founded with signifi cant reference to kinship studies. Despite its centrality

as anthropological subject matter, detecting organizing features connected with kinship in archaeological

records or using kin structures in understanding the past have been subsidiary activities in

anthropological archaeology.

Noble, G. 2020. 'The problem of the Picts: Searching for a lost people in northern Scotland', Current Archaeology 364 p28-35.

OUR UNDERSTANDING of the nature of late and post-Roman central places of northern Britain has been hindered by the lack of historical sources and the limited scale of archaeological investigation. New work at Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland (NJ 49749 26345), has begun to redress this through extensive excavation and landscape survey. This has revealed a Pictish central place of the 4th to 6th centuries AD that has European connections through material culture, iconography and site character. In addition to reviewing the place-name and historical context, this article outlines preliminary reflections on five seasons of excavation and survey in the Rhynie landscape. The article also provides a detailed consideration of chronology, including radiocarbon dating and Bayesian statistical analysis. The results reveal the multi-faceted nature of a major, non-hillfort elite complex of Pictland that comprised a high status residence with cult dimensions, a major centre for production and exchange, and a contemporary cemetery. A series of sculptured stones stood in association with the settlement and cemetery and the iconography of the stones, along with the wider archaeological evidence, provides a rich dataset for a renewed consideration of the central places of early medieval northern Britain with broader implications for the nature of power and rulership in late and post-Roman Europe.

IN THE EARLIEST CENTURIES of the Middle Ages, skilled metalsmiths were greatly valued by

cult leaders who required impressive objects to maintain social links and the loyalty of their retainers.

Despite their clear importance, smiths were peripheral characters operating on the fringes of elite communities.

Such treatment may reflect an attempt to limit the influence of metalworkers, whose craft was seen

as supernatural and who themselves were probably spiritual figureheads; archaeological evidence associates

smiths and their tools in symbolic processes of creation and destruction, not only of objects but also

of buildings and monuments. The Church clearly appropriated these indigenous practices, although conversion

eventually saw the pre-eminence of the sacred smith and their practice wane. Anthropological

study provides numerous comparators for skilled crafters acting as supernatural leaders, and also suggests

that as part of their marginal identity, smiths may have been perceived as a distinct gender.

Brownlee, E. Connectivity and Funerary Change in Early Medieval Europe. Antiquity: a quarterly review of archaeology https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.51984.

Between the sixth and eighth centuries AD, the practice of furnished burial was widely abandoned in

favour of a much more standardized, unfurnished rite. This article examines that transition by considering

the personhood and agency of the corpse, the different ways bonds of possession can form between

people and objects, and what happens to those bonds at death. By analysing changing grave good use

across western Europe, combined with an in-depth analysis of the Alamannic cemetery of Pleidelsheim,

and historical evidence for perceptions of the corpse, the author argues that the change in grave good use

marks a fundamental change in the perception of corpses.

IN 1938, a woman’s burial was uncovered by road builders at Ketilsstaðir in north-eastern Iceland.

Recently, her physical remains and associated funerary goods were re-examined by an international, interdisciplinary

team and formed the basis for an exhibition at the National Museum of Iceland in 2015.

This paper focuses on the items of dress that accompanied the woman in order to gain insights into the

ways her cultural identity was expressed at the time of her death. Here we explore the roles played by

material culture in signaling her identity, and the technologies and trade networks through which she was

connected, visually, to Scandinavia, the British Isles, and the Viking world at large.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, company towns often provided housing for workers within a system of benevolent paternalism. This paper examines a set of workers’ cottages known as “the Twelve Apostles” on Maria Island, Tasmania.

The archaeology reveals differences between the standardized, company-built houses, providing evidence that the residents’ responses often varied in ways that were not officially expected or sanctioned by the company. People individualized their houses in

ways that reflect their everyday routines and rituals, and demonstrate how they made these houses into homes.

When David Johnston was a boy, he keenly explored the caves near his home, leading his mother to suggest he might become an archaeologist. Later, he became one of the first Indigenous Australians to gain a degree in archaeology, graduating from ANU with Honours and completing a Master degree in London.

Conserving the nation's Aboriginal heritage is Dave's passion. As a consultant archaeologist for 27 years, he has worked on more than 2,000 heritage projects across eastern Australia from Cape York to Point Nepean.

In 2014, he was awarded the Sharon Sullivan National Heritage award for his outstanding contribution to the Indigenous heritage environment and his continuing influence on practice.

Dave has had a remarkable career and is recognised as a world leader in the field of Australian Indigenous archaeology.

He has made important contributions to the field and its development at Australian universities as well as working to ensure an Indigenous perspective and voice in the study and teaching of Australian archaeology.

His contributions have been recognised internationally. He was involved in the development of a code of ethics for the World Archaeological Congress and also drove the adoption of a code of ethics by the Australian Archaeological Association.

He was instrumental in the development of the Australian Government's guidelines for Indigenous heritage and was a member of the AIATSIS Research Ethics Committee that developed the Guidelines for Ethical Research in Australian Indigenous Studies.

Dave has been active at ANU since he graduated, most recently being the Founding Chair of the ANU Indigenous Alumni Network, which he and Indigenous Alumni members established in 2016.

He delivers annual guest lectures and co-ordinates two to three local community-run archaeological site visits a year for

 the Archaeology School as well as guest lecturing for two other ANU schools.

He has been a board member of the University's Aboriginal History Journal for 19 years and has been a long-time supporter of the

Tjabal Centre, being one of its Foundation students.

Aviation has played an important part in shaping Australia’s culture and history through the course of the twentieth century. Australia embraced aviation from its earliest days, eagerly responding to its potential to cover a challenging country, to bring far-flung communities closer and to provide services that could not be delivered any other way. Add the romance of pioneer heroes, the vital role of aviation in wartime and the capacity to deliver aid to people in need in Australia and beyond, and it is clear why aviation is at the heart of Australia’s recent history. Histories of aviation in Australia have tended to focus on the biographies of individual achievers, on the stories of pioneering airlines and technological innovations.

Space archaeology is a sub-field of contemporary archaeology that studies the material culture associated with human activity in outer space. Until recently, archaeologists faced significant obstacles to performing research on sites in space, due to both costs and inaccessibility. The International Space Station Archaeological Project (ISSAP) has developed new methods based on creative re-imaginings of traditional archaeological practices.As well as contributing to future mission design, research on human habitations in space can open new perspectives onhuman action in terrestrial environments,such as the effect of gravity
