Migration of Homo Sapiens Out of Africa
This chapter provides some of the factors that played an important role in the initial movement of people out of Africa during the Pleistocene, with a focus on Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. It presents a brief review of early hominid evolution during the Pliocene and the early Pleistocene, because the physiological and cultural development of these initial forms laid the foundation for the successful dispersal of humans to regions throughout the…
Piracy in a Contested Periphery: Incorporation and the Emergence of the Modern World-System in the Colonial Atlantic Frontier
This article uses world-systems analysis to examine the role that pirates and privateers played in the competition between European core states in the Atlantic and Caribbean frontier during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Piracy was an integral part of core-periphery interaction, as a force that nations could use against one another in the form of privateers, and as a reaction against increasing constraints on freedom of action by those…
Shedding light on the Cypriot rural landscape: Investigations of the Athienou Archaeological Project in the Malloura Valley, Cyprus, 2011–2013
Since its inception in 1990, the Athienou Archaeological Project (AAP) has focused on diachronic patterns of rural land use within the Malloura Valley located along the edges of Cyprus’s fertile Mesaoria plain. Employing careful field methods of excavation and recording, members of AAP have sought to reconstruct ancient life in this understudied region by charting local responses to regional and pan-Mediterranean networks of exchange. The present…
Fitting In: Archaeology and Community in Athienou, Cyprus
To what extent do archaeologists distance themselves from the modern people in whose communities they reside while they study the region's past inhabitants? While many projects live and work rather anonymously in communities during field projects, the Athienou Archaeological Project (AAP) has cultivated and benefited from a remarkable, mutually supportive relationship with the town of Athienou, Cyprus. This article highlights four points of commu…
The Facts and Fictions of Rockshelter Function
Rockshelters in North America were used by prehistoric peoples over a period of 11,000 years but the question often arises: What were prehistoric peoples using these sites for? The diversity of artifacts often found in rockshelters suggests they served other purposes than simply refuge from the elements. Given that these sites were embedded in cultural systems, however, their actual function is not always easy to reconstruct. In Eastern North Ame…
World-Systems Analysis and Archaeology: Continuing the Dialogue
Many archaeologists have used world-systems analysis in precapitalist settings. Some have criticized it; others have dismissed it out of hand. Critiques include that it was developed for the "modern" world, that it is overly economistic, that it neglects individual actors, and that it inappropriately uses modern analyses in ancient settings. Although there is some validity to these charges when applied to Wallerstein's original formulation, most …

Archaeology and world-systems analysis
Many archaeologists have criticized world-systems analysis (WSA) for being overly economistic, ignoring individual actors and importing modern analyses to ancient settings where they are inappropriate. Those criticisms are directed largely at Immanuel Wallerstein's original formulation that was explicitly developed to explain contemporary global inequalities within and among states. In that sense there is validity to these charges. We argue, howe…

The Sydney Cyprus Survey Project: Social Approaches to Regional Archaeological Survey
The Sydney Cyprus Survey Project (SCSP) devoted five seasons of fieldwork (1992-1997) to an intensive archaeological survey in the north-central foothills of the Troodos Mountains on the eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The survey covered 65 square kilometres in and around the modern villages of Politiko and Mitsero. This pathbreaking project examined the relationship between the production and distribution of agricultural and metallurgica…
Neolithic Society in Greece
Understanding of early farming societies in Greece has been revolutionized by major field projects, by the growing application of specialist 'scientific' studies, and by new approaches to interpretation. This volume reviews the most significant recent field research, ranging from regional survey, through large-scale excavation of an extensive open settlement, to the investigation of caves. Contributors critically evaluate or revise current ideas …

The Ethnoarchaeology of Adaptation on Arid Islands: A Study of Herders on Dokos, Greece
Settlements on the island of Dokos attest to the human ability to cope successfully with the lack of fresh water. The study of a resident herding family provides insights into water management and other subsistence activities in an austere environment. The study examines herd management, use of local resources, contacts with the mainland, and the use of expedient tools, and provides analogs for understanding adaptation to island settings
World-systems theory in practice: Leadership, Production, and Exchange
Athienou Archaeological Project: Investigations in the Malloura Valley, Cyprus, 1990–1995
The Athienou Archaeological Project (AAP) is a multidisciplinary investigation of the site of Athienou Malloura and the surrounding valley in central Cyprus. Since 1990, field survey, geophysical prospecting, and stratigraphic excavations at Athienou Malloura relocated the Cypro-Archaic-Roman sanctuary that was originally discovered in 1862 and exposed portions of the large, nucleated settlement that was founded in the early Roman period. Occupat…

Defining the Cypriot Aceramic Neolithic: The Lithic Evidence
Evidence from Akrotiri Aetokremnos shows that hunter-gatherers visited Cyprus before the Neolithic period, but the first colonization of the island took place during the Aceramic Neolithic (7000-5500B.C.) phase. This phase is known for the distinctive groundstone bowls, tools, and ornaments found at sites such as Khirokitia Vouni. Kalavassos Tenta. and Rizokarpaso Cane Andreas Kastros. rather than their "mediocre" chipped stone assemblages (Knapp…

Architecture, Energy and Social Evolution at Isthmia, Greece: Some Thoughts about Late Antiquity in the Korinthia
Energy expended in the construction of monumental public architecture manifests important social decisions based on the efficient use of resources. The decisions taken about architectural construction depend on cultural and historical dimensions and may thus be regarded as aspects of social evolution. This paper reviews elements of evolutionary theory, the culture concept, and especially the role of monumental public architecture as an indicator …

The Ecology of Bronze Age Flaked Stone Tool Production in Southern Greece: Evidence from Agios Stephanos and the Southern Argolid
The analysis of flaked stone tools from various regions of Greece provides considerable information on site chronology, subsistence practices, exchange networks, and the evolution of technology. This report compares Bronze Age material from the Southern Argolid Survey and the excavated site of Agios Stephanos in Laconia. The results of the Argolid Survey give us a broad understanding of various trends that can be checked against individual sites,…
Estimating Population at Ancient Military Sites: The Use of Historical and Contemporary Analogy
Archaeologists have devised various methods to estimate the number of past site occupants. These techniques fall into a number of categories, but I will focus on two common approaches based on (1) the amount of roofed space each individual needs, and (2) the total site area and the number of persons per hectare. This report suggests that neither of these methods is fully appropriate for ancient military installations. Population estimates derived…

A Modern-Site Survey in the Southern Argolid, Greece
A survey of modern structures and features was carried out within one small valley in the southern Argolid, Greece. The focus was on modern site function as it related to materials content, size, and topographic location. The main purpose of the survey was to collect a body of data that could serve as the basis for the formation of hypotheses about ancient site functions in the same valley. An attempt is made to determine the functions of archaeo…
