Experiences in Archaeology, Social Justice, and Democratic Principles
From 2016 to 2019, the University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu conducted archaeological field schools at Honouliuli National Historic Site to teach our students basic archaeological skills. Because the site was the largest Japanese and Japanese American concentration camp on O‘ahu, the field school initiated a program related to social justice and democratic principles for the imprisonment of US citizens and legal residents based on racial and national …
Fish Symbolism and Fish Remains in Ancient South Asia
Biocultural Practices during the Transition to History at the Vat Komnou Cemetery, Angkor Borei, Cambodia
Mainland Southeast Asia underwent dramatic changes after the mid-first millennium B.C.E., as its populations embraced new metallurgical and agricultural technologies. Southeast Asians transformed their physical and social environments further through their participation in international maritime trade networks. Early state formation characterized much of the mainland by the mid-first millennium C.E. We examined a protohistoric (200 B.C.E.–200 C.E…
The Roque Island Archaeological Project, Maine, USA
Between the early 1970s and to the mid-1990s, David Sanger was largely responsible for a series of large-scale regional survey and excavation projects throughout Passamaquoddy Bay (New Brunswick) and the central/Downeast coasts of Maine. While resulting in an important understanding of the paleoenvironment and prehistoric/historic resource exploitation along the Gulf of Maine, these projects also allowed the development of a unified analytical st…

Marine Exploitation in the Third Millennium BC - the eastern coast of Pakistan
La pêche a joué un rôle significatif dans l 'économie de nombreuses sociétés. A l 'intérieur d 'un milieu sociopolitique complexe, celui de l'Indus (localisé aujourd'hui au Pakistan et en Inde occidentale), nous nous attachons à mettre en évidence quel rôle a pu jouer la pêche entre 6500 et 1 300 ВС. Cette étude s'appuie sur l'analyse des résultats obtenus sur deux sites côtiers du Pakistan, Balakot et Allahdino. Les restes de poissons recueillis…

Geologic constraints on the Harappa archaeological site, Punjab Province, Pakistan
The geologic setting of an urban environment affects the development of that particular urban culture. Human activities can involve devegetation, soil loosening, soil-water and ground-water changes, soil erosion, and changes in surface-water hydrology. This article focuses on how the geologic resources and history of the Punjab region have greatly influenced the cultural development of the Bronze Age city of Harappa, located in northeast Pakistan…

Hunter-gatherer subsistence at the end of the Pleistocene
Excavation at the site of Picareiro Cave in Portugal provides an important and rare sample of animal remains. Preliminary study shows that late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers hunted rabbits, deer and a wide variety of fauna, perhaps during seasonal occupation of the cave
