A commoning framework for environmental archaeology: beyond resource management in Indigenous North America
Environmental archaeology has often relied on common-pool resource models to interpret past human-environment relationships, yet these frameworks overlook Indigenous ontologies grounded in kinship with land, water, and more-than human beings. We propose commoning as a complementary approach that…

From biomolecular traces to multisensory experiences: bringing scent reproductions to museums and cultural heritage
Recent advances in biomolecular archaeology have enabled the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor-active metabolites in archaeological materials, revealing the scents and olfactory environments of the ancient world. These developments offer new opportunities to reconstruct the…

The role of religious faith in dental pathological lesion patterning and approaches to care in a medieval Portuguese assemblage
The European middle ages (c.500–1500 CE) is often seen as a period of poor oral health and hygiene, as evidenced through artistic, textual, or popular media portrayals. Anthropological analyses have the unique potential to illuminate what medieval mouths were actually like through direct…

Determining the benefits and limitations of legacy ichthyoarchaeological collections: a Pacific Islands example
Legacy faunal collections remain an indispensable yet untested resource for Pacific Island ichthyoarchaeology. We analyse fish remains from nine late pre-contact (AD1400-1795) sites on leeward Moloka‘i, Hawaiian Islands, excavated in 1952, augmented by a controlled 1 m2 excavation at one rock…

From edge to mark. Investigating the relationship between cut marks and lithic raw materials
Understanding the relationship between animal processing practices and stone tool use is essential for interpreting Paleolithic lifeways. These activities leave behind two key forms of archaeological evidence: butchery marks (“cut marks”) and lithic tools. While both faunal and lithic remains are…

The subtle divide: a new method for identifying chop marks on long bone diaphyses using fracture morphology
IntroductionChop marks provide critical evidence for reconstructing butchery practices, yet their identification criteria are underdeveloped and rely heavily on the presence of sharp force trauma. Sharp force trauma does not occur with every chop, and on long bone shafts in particular, chops can…

Tropical arboriculture and root crop cultivation in the volcanically active landscape of ancient Arenal, Costa Rica
The Arenal region of Costa Rica experiences catastrophic eruptions on average every 336 years. Although deposits of volcanic ash can be initially detrimental to fauna and flora, after the tephra has weathered it can become a very fertile, mineral-rich soil that is suitable for cultivation of food…

Archaeological micromorphology in Latin America: an overview
Micromorphology helps to reveal fundamental aspects of archaeological sites and landscapes that are invisible to the naked eye. Apart from discerning human contributions from patterns of natural sediment/soil formation, deposition, and alteration, this technique, coupled with others, has been able…

An agricultural complement to ancient northern Central Asian pastoralism on the steppe: a regional analysis of ceramic impressions
The adaptive economies that allowed ancient people to, not only survive on the arid steppe of northern Central Asia, but also form early polities, elaborate burial practices, and specialized craft production, have attracted the attention of archaeologists for more than a century. Traditionally…

New perspectives on nutritional stress—first carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of pig remains from historic starvation experiments
This exploratory study presents the first isotopic data obtained from skeletal remains of pigs that are known to have suffered severe nutritional stress, compared to a control group of pigs from the same litters. A pilot investigation of pig remains from 20th century feeding experiments is…
