Integrating the Angkorian Empire
In search of Tabal, central Anatolia
Trajectories of social complexity following socio-political collapse have provided fertile ground for new theoretical and methodological perspectives in archaeology. Here we investigate ceramics from the site of Alişar Höyük, a settlement that was likely part of the Iron Age polity of Tabal. Best known from Assyrian texts, Tabal emerged in central Anatolia after the Late Bronze Age Hittite collapse, but its structure and operation remain enigmati…
Angkorian Khmer stoneware
Functional studies of flaked and ground stone artefacts reveal starchy tree nut and root exploitation in mid-Holocene highland New Guinea
Ground stone technology for processing starchy plant foods has its origins in the late Pleistocene, with subsequent intensification and transformation of this technology coinciding with the global emergence of agriculture in the early Holocene. On the island of New Guinea, agriculture first emerges in the highland Wahgi Valley, potentially from c. 9 kya, and clearly evident by 6.5 kya. Approximately 400 km further east in the highland Ivane Valle…
Centralized power/decentralized production? Angkorian stoneware and the southern production complex of Cheung Ek, Cambodia
Agricultural impact and political economy
Dating Gordion
Gordion has long served as an archaeological type site for Iron Age central Anatolia and provided pioneering radiocarbon ( 14 C) determinations as reported in the first issue of Radiocarbon (1959). Absolute dating of key events at Gordion continue to reshape our understanding of regional development and interaction in the Iron Age, with a major conflagration in the late 9th BCE century at this site the most recent focus of attention (DeVries et a…
The Southeast Asian water frontier
New Dates for Old Kilns
Radiocarbon dates from recent excavations of a range of Angkorian Khmer (~9th–14th CE) stoneware kiln complexes provide a new and independent perspective on the timing and geography of Khmer ceramic production. These data demonstrate a clear two-phase sequence. The first, in the late 9th to late 12th centuries CE, marks a period of intensive production located both to the east of Angkor and to the south at Cheung Ek, south of Phnom Penh. A second…
Differentiating Khmer Stoneware Production
We report analytical results for stoneware samples from four excavated Angkor-period kilns in the Greater Angkor area. Previous work has suggested that establishing distinct chemical signatures for kiln complexes in this region is problematic. The current study highlights the effectiveness of neutron activation analysis (NAA) for differentiating the products of Angkorian kiln complexes; it also confirms the viability of a larger-scale research pr…
Human-environment dynamics during the Holocene in the Australian Wet Tropics of NE Queensland
The Archaeology of Achaemenid Power in Regional Western Anatolia
The Achaemenids conquered Anatolia in the sixth century bce. However, in contrast to the historical descriptions of political response to Achaemenid control, e.g. the so-called ‘Ionian revolt’ of east Greek territories in Western Anatolia, the operation of Achaemenid-period economies in this region remains obscure. Only a handful of occupation sites in western Turkey provide archaeological data contemporary with Achaemenid rule. In this paper, we…

Scales of impact
The expansion of agriculture in the Near East during the middle Holocene significantly altered the physical landscape. However, the relationship between the scale of agriculture and the magnitude and timing of the environmental impacts is not well known. The Gordion Regional Survey provides a novel dataset to compare settlement density during archaeological periods to rates of environmental disruption. Sediment samples from alluvial cores directl…
The Early Iron Age at Troy Reconsidered
N eutron A ctivation A nalysis ( NAA ) of P rotogeometric ceramics at T roy supports a revision of our understanding of the site in the P rotogeometric period. Previous interpretations of this period at T roy emphasized the importance of either G reek migration or G reek trade networks. A category of amphoras previously thought to be imports appears to have been made locally. NAA also indicates local production of a new class of handmade cooking …
A broad-spectrum subsistence economy in Neolithic Inner Mongolia, China
Recent archaeological and archaeobotanical data suggest a very long tradition for the broad-spectrum subsistence economy in North China. It can be traced back at least to the Upper Paleolithic, in the last glacial maximum, and it continued into the early Neolithic period. Subsistence strategies also show great regional variation, suggesting a complex mosaic of adaptations in the transition to agriculture. The research reported here focuses on the…
Ceramics, trade, provenience and geology
The island of Cyprus was a major producer of copper and stood at the heart of east Mediterranean trade networks during the Late Bronze Age. It may also have been the source of the Red Lustrous Wheelmade Ware that has been found in mortuary contexts in Egypt and the Levant, and in Hittite temple assemblages in Anatolia. Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) has enabled the source area of this special ceramic to be located in a geologically highly loca…

Non‐destructive analysis using PXRF
Uncritical application of portable X‐ray fluorescence (PXRF) to non‐destructive analysis of archaeological ceramics has been received with scepticism. In this article, we present a methodological evaluation of the parameters and constraints for PXRF analysis of archaeological ceramics. We use experimental matrices that simulate characteristics of archaeological artefacts to demonstrate the impact of (1) surface morphology, (2) organic surface coa…
Reconstructing Iron Age Community Dynamics in Eskişehir Province, Central Turkey
Patterns of Iron Age interaction in central Anatolia
The cultural and political changes that happened in Anatolia after the collapse of the Hittite Empire have only recently been recognised as a significant, but as yet unexplained, phenomenon. Here we present the results of analyses of ceramics from three sites south and southwest of the present-day town of Sorgun – Çadır Höyük, Kerkenes Dağ and Tilkigediği Tepe – to identity how regional groups within the Hittite core area regrouped in the afterma…
Ceramic production and provenience at Gordion, Central Anatolia
Post‐collapse
How communities reorganize after collapse is drawing increasing attention across a wide spectrum of disciplines. Iron Age Boğazköy provides an archaeological case study of urban and political regeneration after the widespread collapse of eastern Mediterranean Late Bronze Age empires in the early twelfth century BC. Recent work at Boğazköy has significantly expanded our understanding of long‐term occupation in north central Anatolia. This work cou…

Identifying activity areas in archaeological soils from a colonial Virginia house lot using phytolith analysis and soil chemistry
Looking into the Gap
The pollen and phytolith analysis of a 20,000-year lake core from southern Thailand provides the first long-term environmental sequence for this region. The evidence suggests that groups continuously occupied southern Thailand through both the early Holocene formation of the tropical rainforest and the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture. Hunter-gatherers of the late Pleistocene apparently made the initial transition to the new t…
Changing Perceptions of Risk
New long-term environmental sequences for Southeast Asia provide a basis for reevaluating the development of agroecosystems. Previous models depict agricultural development as a singular, relatively rapid response to various stimuli such as climate change and population growth. In contrast, the Southeast Asian data indicate that the development of tropical agro-ecosystems are the result of stresses separated in time and not part of a unitary deve…

Land Use, Political Complexity, and Urbanism in Mainland Southeast Asia
Debates about the development of political complexity and cities are typically focused on material cultural correlates and situated within the wider context of the emergence of states. Conventionally, state emergence is linked to agricultural surpluses and a new phase of agricultural intensification. However, this approach remains fundamentally reliant on the preservation of an appropriate and diverse suite of material cultural correlates. For ma…

Assessing Bioturbation in Archaeological Sediments using Soil Morphology and Phytolith Analysis
Integrating Phytoliths within Use-Wear/Residue Studies of Stone Tools
Linking Local to Global
Dalglish's paper raises several interesting issues, both methodological and theoretical. At the heart of this paper is the proposition that archaeology can contribute to our understanding of capitalism, because local landscape studies (by archaeologists) provide us with a more informed view of the common people and the disenfranchised, and their 'mundane daily existence' (as a rationale for historical archaeology in general see Falk 1991). Dalgli…
