Chapter 8 Glenn A. Black and the Problems of Objectification in Big Site-Big Science Legacy Archaeology
Large-scale excavations in the first half of the twentieth century conducted by Glenn A. Black at Angel Mounds were viewed as moving archaeology away from its antiquarian roots toward legitimate scientific practice. Although this transformation led to innovative field methods, amassed collections of unprecedented size and depth, and created foundational archaeological programs and knowledge, the past and the peoples who occupied it became increas…
The Other Large Bifaces
Mississippian cultures left behind two types of large utilitarian bifaces: hoes and so-called woodworking tools. The former have attracted considerable scholarly attention, while the latter have not. We attempt to address this bias by focusing on a substantial number of woodworking tools from three sites in southwestern Indiana. All belong to Caborn-Welborn, a late Mississippian culture that developed at the Ohio-Wabash confluence after the decli…

Sixteenth-Century Flintknapping Kits from the King Site, Georgia
Excavations at the King Site, a late Mississippian period village in NW Georgia, have yielded over 250 burials, of which 10 contained the flintknapping kits considered in this study. Despite some variation in the kit assemblages, they share strong similarities in hammerstone types and related tools and contain tools that appear to have been used for activities in addition to flintknapping, such as woodworking.The demographic profile of the associ…
Household Production at the Uruk Mound, Abu Salabikh, Iraq
Restructuring of the economy is thought to have accompanied the emergence of ancient states and urban societies in the Near East, beginning in the Uruk period (fourth millennium B. C.), but scholars disagree on the precise nature of economic change. Through investigations at the Uruk Mound of Abu Salabikh, an Uruk-period town in southern Mesopotamia, we examine the contexts of production within one community. Our analyses rely primarily on data c…

Investigations on the Uruk Mound, Abu Salabikh, 1990
A second full season of archaeological investigations was undertaken at the Uruk Mound, Abu Salabikh in the spring of 1990. The aims of this season's work were to begin to explore in some detail variations in production, exchange, and consumption of subsistence and craft goods within the Uruk community. Both the aims and the strategies employed were outgrowths of our previous work at the site which had sought a broad understanding of the kinds of…
