The Many Ages of Star Carr: Do 'Cites' Make the 'Site'
This chapter examines the changing fortunes of Star Carr within archaeology and its post-excavation history, and discuss some of the reasons for the site's continuing significance. The Early Mesolithic hunter-gatherer site of Star Carr, in the Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire, ranks with Stonehenge as one of the best known archaeological sites in Britain. The archaeological site of Star Carr is situated at the western end of a former lake known…
Iron Production in North Pare, Tanzania: Archaeometallurgical and Geoarchaeological Perspectives on Landscape Change
Archaeology, archaeometallurgy and geoarchaeology are combined in this research to examine the chronology and development of iron metallurgy and its environmental repercussions in North Pare, Tanzania. Pare was a prominent centre for iron production from at least the second half of the first millennium AD, and it has been assumed that this technology—with its demand for wood charcoal—had a significant and detrimental effect on local forest cover.…
Middle Holocene fishing strategies in East Africa: Zooarchaeological analysis of Pundo, a Kansyore shell midden in northern Nyanza (Kenya)
A zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis is presented for the faunal remains from the Pundo shell midden in northern Nyanza province (Kenya), which contains Kansyore ceramics and dates to ca. 8000-7600 cal. BP. The faunal assemblage is overwhelmingly dominated by fish and molluscs, of which only the fish data are presented in detail. Taxonomic identifications suggest a diachronic change in relative species abundance, with cichlids becoming inc…
Mid- to late-Holocene vegetation dynamics on the Laikipia Plateau, Kenya
Interactions between Holocene environmental changes and human subsistence strategies in semiarid parts of eastern Africa are relatively poorly understood because of a paucity of sites where contemporaneous archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records are preserved. This paper presents new AMS 14 C-dated palaeoenvironmental evidence of midto late-Holocene vegetation changes, in the form of pollen, charcoal, mineralogical and δ 13 C bulk data, fr…
