Using Euclidean distance in the comparative analysis of taxonomic abundance
Jackrabbit Age Profiles as an Indicator of Hunting Behavior: An Example from Southern Arizona
Zooarchaeological data can provide invaluable information about prehistoric social, labor, and economic organization. Ungulate age profiles have long been used to answer anthropological questions about the timing and methods of hunting, but in the western U.S., ungulates may be rare, and archaeological assemblages are frequently dominated by rabbits. Rabbit age profiles have been largely overlooked as a source of information about prehistoric soc…
Identifying Necessity and Sufficiency Relationships in Skeletal-Part Representation Using Fuzzy-Set Theory
Traditional approaches to the analysis of skeletal representation in faunal assemblages that employ correlation analyses work well when there is a linear or curvilinear relationship or no relationship at all between the variables under investigation. However, in taphonomic applications in zooarchaeology, these approaches can mask meaningful variation in certain cases where the relationship between the causal variable and skeletal-part representat…
The Early Neolithic Site of Ayn Abū Nukhayla, Southern Jordan
Three seasons of research at the Middle PPNB site of Ayn Abū Nukhayla indicate that it experienced intermittent, seasonal occupations spanning a period of ca. 200 years, centered on 8500 b. p. Despite being located in a hyperarid setting in southern Jordan, the site displays extensive architecture and other evidence of intensive occupation. Settlement of the site appears to have been triggered by a moist pulse that produced sufficient upland run-…
Survey of Prehistoric Sites, Wadi Araba, Southern Jordan
A survey of the western flank of the southern Rift Valley, the Wadi Araba, revealed a low density of prehistoric sites stretching from Middle Palaeolithic to Chalcolithic periods. The investigation suggests that during most prehistoric periods the Rift served as a low-elevation seasonal refuge representing one segment of a settlement-procurement strategy based on transhumance within this mountainous region of southern Jordan. Also, the presence o…
