Semi-automated detection of Holocene archaeological structures along the southern edge of the Nefud desert
Throughout the Holocene, humans covered the landscape of Arabia in hundreds of thousands of diverse dry-stone structures. These archaeological remains are predominantly funerary structures, enclosures, and camps although they also include ritualised features such as mustatils , all of which form essential components for understanding Neolithic and Bronze Age peninsular societies and their dynamic relationships with the natural environment. Archae…
Intrasite Variability and Changing Social Practices during the Ubaid-Late Chalcolithic Transition at Tell Zeidan, Syria
By the mid-5th millennium BCE, the dark-on-light painted pottery style common to Ubaid societies across Greater Mesopotamia was slowly becoming less prominent relative to unpainted wares made using new, faster technologies. While this shift has helped identify the development of a Late Chalcolithic cultural complex, the material culture, polity types, and rates of change in the LC1 period are also characterised by both regional variation and loca…
The Eamena database and its potential impact on research and heritage management
This paper introduces the EAMENA database, from a user perspective, as a living document of archaeological datasets, assessing its utility for research and heritage management with respect to unfinished data collection and ongoing database development. An incomplete dataset of Crusader sites provides a useful case study of heritage places. First, through a simple analysis using the site function field, the paper demonstrates how users can query t…
Ethical considerations for remote sensing and open data in relation to the endangered archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa project
The UK‐based Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa (EAMENA) project uses remote sensing techniques to rapidly record and evaluate the status of archaeological and cultural heritage sites in the MENA region. Applying remote sensing methods to the archaeological landscapes of 20 countries, EAMENA is one of the largest documentation projects of its kind. Such a scope raises important ethical questions fundamental to the practice…
Animal Production and Secondary Products in the Fifth Millennium BC in northern Mesopotamia
Current anthropological and archaeological research posits a strong role for livestock in the development of economic specialization and social inequality in the ancient Near East. We examine animal production in the Ubaid through Late Chalcolithic 2 periods (c. 5200-3800 BC) in northern Mesopotamia, presenting new zooarchaeological data from Tell Surezha. Evidence for gradual and piecemeal intensification of livestock production and secondary pr…
A Brief History and Progress of Mountain Cartography in Canada
Canada's mountain ranges offer great opportunities in high-mountain cartography, but also great challenges, given limited national mapping resources to deal with such extensive areas. Following post-war initiatives that introduced Swiss mapping styles into Canadian cartography, federal cuts and restructuring diverted resources to the generation and management of digital data. The increasing accessibility to GIS and mapping software and digital el…
