Searching for hidden waters
Traditional environmental knowledge and transport efficiency of a communal canal network, Tafilalt oasis, Morocco
The sustainability of ancient water control techniques in Iran
Qanats are a traditional source of water management that exists throughout much of the Middle East, and extending into North Africa, Spain and South Asia. In particular, they have played an important role in managing the supply of water throughout Iran for over two millennia in what is an arguably a sustainable manner. With water scarcity playing a prominent role in the modern world, qanats offer a practical, low cost solution to these issues. Th…
The Origin and Diffusion of Qanats in Arabia
In scattered areas of the Arabian Peninsula, beginning several centuries before the first Christian millennium and for several centuries after, public works efforts were mounted to convey water from mountain aquifers, via subsurface aqueducts, onto drier valleys and plains. These subterranean, gravity-driven filtration galleries, known generically as qanats, were transplanted across the Peninsula first by Persians, and later by others who borrowe…
History and Technology of Olive Oil in the Holy Land by Rafael Frankel, et al
242 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE were categorized geographically—but the entry numbers in the in dex hardly ever matched the ones in the text. Some I never did find. When I did, I found substantial errors. For example (to mention one of many),Jan Vansina’s works on western Bantu expansion and Bantu linguistics are listed under East Africa, where they obviously do not belong. Au experienced researcher will go crazy using this bibliography;…
History and Technology of Olive Oil in the Holy Land
Qanats in the Levant
Durant les periodes romaine et byzantine, le developpement des ressources des eaux souterraines contribua a la construction de puits et d'aqueducs souterrains, les qanats, permettant de collecter et canaliser les eaux souterraines
Air Photographic Mapping of San Marcos Pueblo
San Marcos Pueblo, dating between A.C. 1340 and 1700, is a large,Glaze Period town of the Anasazi-Pueblo cultural tradition. An aerial map of this protohistoric site was made from CIR (color infrared) photography provided by the Stennis Space Center, NASA. Ground confirmation of the aerial map has been affected through archaeological studies beginning in 1915 and continuing, intermittently, until 1993. The verified map is presented as a modern se…
Moroccan khettara
Sijilmassa
Sijilmassa (A.D. 757–1393) was the North African head of the gold trade across the Sahara in medieval times. A synthesis of fieldwork undertaken by geographers, historians, and archaeologists suggests the environmental and social structure of the ancient city and its surrounding oasis. Collaboration demonstrates geography's role in solving regional problems originating in history and archaeology. In reconstructing the geography of past place and …
The Construction and Configuration of Anasazi Pebble-Mulch Gardens in the Northern Rio Grande
Rio Grande Anasazi in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries A.D. mulched hundreds of garden-sized plots with pebbles to increase soil moisture, reduce erosion, extend the growing season, and increase crop yields. This paper reports on the construction and configuration of pebble-mulch gardens in New Mexico, focusing particularly on those in the Galisteo Basin. Surfaces adjacent to these gardens were scraped and pits were excavated to collect gra…
The agricultural utility of lithic-mulch gardens
The Chaco Anasazi
Morphology and Ecology of Lithic-Mulch Agriculture
Lithic-mulch agriculture is a strategy that employs materials such as volcanic ash and cinder, pebbles, gravel, or stones as a mulch to improve crop growth. The field form has been identified at only a few prehistoric and historic sites. The form is marked by accumulation of lithic materials in solid layers, ridges, terraces, pits, or mounds. These features have been sited in natural grav- elly or stony soil on relatively level ground. The mulch …
The cultural ecology of Puebloan Pebble-Mulch gardens
The landscape context of Anasazi pebble‐mulched fields in the Galisteo Basin, Northern New Mexico
Anasazi farmers in northern New Mexico occasionally applied a pebble mulch to their gardens during the 14th and 15th centuries A. D. to increase crop yield and to buffer against drought. Regional variations in surface geology and soils are compared to the distribution of pebble‐mulch gardens near Pueblo San Marcos in the Galisteo Basin, south of Santa Fe. The slope angle and aspect of 96 individual garden plots are also examined to determine the …
The Effects of Environment and Culture on the Distribution of Prehistoric Dwellings at Chimney Rock Mesa, Colorado
This study examines the roles of cultural change, social status, and natural resources in influencing both the siting and occupance of prehistoric (10th-12th century) pit house and pueblo dwellings in the Chimney Rock Archaeological Area (CRAA) in south-western Colorado. The study first demonstrates a prominent bimodal clustering of riverine pit house and mesa-top pueblo settlements, and then presents a number of hypotheses to account for the ele…
