A Preliminary Petrologic and Provenance Analysis of Groundstone Artifacts from the Northern Channel Islands and Coastal Southern Alta California
The Chumash of the southern Central Coast of Alta California have long been recognized for their complex sociopolitical systems and extensive exchange networks. This study employs petrologic geoarchaeological methods to examine groundstone bowl and mortar fragments from Chumash archaeological sites along the Northern Channel Islands and the Oxnard Plain region of the southern Central Coast. Through comparison of macroscopic and microscopic descri…
New archaeological insights from petrographic analysis of ceramics from the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama
Petrographic analysis of Pre-Columbian pottery from four islands in the Lesser Antilles and implications for inter-island transport and interactions
Petrographic analyses of sand temper/inclusions in ceramics of Kikiniu, Kikori River and modern sand samples from the Gulf Province (Papua New Guinea)
The archaeological site of Kikiniu (a.k.a. Kulupuari) in the mid‐reaches of the Kikori River, Gulf Province (Papua New Guinea) contains a rich assemblage of ceramic sherds dating to 1550–1000 calBP. This is a region for which there is no ethnographic and no prior archaeological evidence of ceramic manufacture, but for which during the ethnographic period premade pottery vessels are well known to have been imported en masse from long‐distance seaf…
Petrography and Provenance of Sand Temper Within Ceramic Sherds from Carriacou, Southern Grenadines, West Indies
Petrographic descriptions and point counts of sherds from archaeological sites on Carriacou, the largest of the Grenadine Islands, show them to exhibit wide textural (temper to matrix ratio) and compositional variability. The major mineralogical components include plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene (augite), amphibole (hornblende), opaque minerals, and various volcaniclastic fragments, the latter exhibiting mostly either lathwork or microlitic textur…
Precolumbian Settlements on Carriacou, West Indies
The first systematic archaeological investigation of Precolumbian sites on the island of Carriacou in the West Indies provides a rich source of information regarding Amerindian settlement in the southern Caribbean. Herein, we report results from an island-wide survey and subsequent excavation at two large village sites—Grand Bay and Sabazan—that provide evidence for an intensive late Ceramic Age occupation dating between CAL. A.D. 400–1200. Resul…
Evidence for inter-island transport of heirlooms: Luminescence dating and petrographic analysis of ceramic inhaling bowls from Carriacou, West Indies
