Archaeological evidence of anthropogenic burning for food production in forested uplands of the Grand Canyon province, northern Arizona
Despite convincing archaeological arguments about the global effects of human pyrogeography and their evolutionary significance, many of the implicated data sources are unavailable in research contexts that lack significant accumulations of charcoal or stands of fire-scarred trees. In view of the strong likelihood that hominins routinely ignited small, low-intensity landscape fires for millennia, we explore the role of cultural burning for food-p…
Building identities
In this contribution, we examine changes in the construction methods and structural orientation of the built environment at the prehistoric settlement of the ‘Serraglio’ on Kos. In so doing, our aim is to understand shifts in occupation, cultural interactions, and identities at the site during the Late Bronze Age. As a human product embedded with meanings, we see the Koan built environment as the outcome of societal ideas, beliefs, and needs, whi…
Managing environmental challenges with anthropogenic bedrock modification
Plant foods, stone tools and food preparation in prehistoric Europe
The transformation of food ingredients into meals corresponds to complex choices resulting from the interplay of environmental and cultural factors: available ingredients, technologies of transformation, cultural perceptions of food, as well as taste and food taboos. Project PLANTCULT (ERC Consolidator Grant, GA 682529) aims to investigate prehistoric culinary cultures from the Aegean to Central Europe by focusing on plant foods and associated fo…
Multi‐Scalar Approaches to Geoarchaeological Questions
Reconstructing landscape and vegetation through multiple proxy indicators
The St. Louis site, located in the Plains–Parkland transition zone along the South Saskatchewan River, in Saskatchewan, Canada, is a multiple‐component site consisting of stratified floodplain alluvium with multiple, weakly developed soils. Human occupation at the site spans the Late Paleoindian to Middle Precontact periods (10,000–5,000 14 C yr B.P.), a time poorly represented archaeologically on the Northern Plains. The dearth of early–middle H…
