This definition established modern material culture studies and has promoted creative archaeological studies of the contemporary world that extend beyond Behavioral Archaeology. But the Modernist Project writ large often leads to devastation, and the United States-México border wall is one material example. The wall has failed to create an impregnable border but rather has generated material debris. Contemporary ruins on both sides of the border in Ambos Nogales, Arizona and Sonora, exemplify... | | Download Bookmark | | Faust, A., 2009, Review of Rudolph Cohen and Hannah Bernick-Greenberg, Excavations at Kadesh Barnea (Tell el-Qudeirat) 1976-1982, Jerusalem: Israel Antiquities Authority, 2007, American Journal of Archaeology 113.2 (on-line publication) by Avraham Faust Review of Rudolph Cohen and Hannah Bernick-Greenberg, Excavations at Kadesh Barnea (Tell el-Qudeirat) 1976-1982, Jerusalem: Israel Antiquities Authority, 2007, | | Download Bookmark | | AWRANA 2015: Connecting people and technologies by Annemieke Verbaas, Christina Tsoraki, and Andrew Sorensen Book of Abstracts for the first meeting of the Association of Archaeological Wear & Residue Analysts (AWRANA) held at Leiden University, the Netherlands, on 27-30 May, 2015.

In this paper it is argued that this was just a façade, designed to keep up the pretext that the countries of the Great Kings were self-sufficient from the military and economic point of view; economic and diplomatic requests needed to be made in a way that none of the involved parties would 'loose face'. The... | | Download Bookmark | | New approaches to the study of village sites in the territory of Venosa in the Classical and Hellenistic periods (Jeremia Pelgrom, Maria-Luisa Marchi, Gianluca Cantoro, Anita Casarotto, Arthur Hamel, Lucia Lecce, Jesús García Sánchez, Tesse D. Stek) by Tesse Stek The territory of Venosa (Potenza - Italy), ancient Venusia (291 BC), is one of the best investigated Roman colonial territories in Italy. During more than a decade of intensive landscape archaeological research conducted in the context of the Forma Italiae project an area of seven hundred square kilometres has been investigated and more than two thousand archaeological sites dating from Prehistory to the Middle Ages have been mapped. This enormous quantity of data is now being used to protect and promote the cultural heritage of this area, and as a crucial academic instrument for further... | | Download Bookmark | | A Birder's Guide to Turkey by Cagan Sekercioglu At the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Turkey has tremendous biological (not to mention cultural and historical) wealth that is often underappreciated. This is a combination of three of world's 37 major plant zones meeting in Turkey and various mountain ranges further dividing the country into a diversity of biomes. These range from temperate rainforest along the Black Sea, where tea, hazelnuts and oranges are grown and Caucasian Grouse and Caspian Snowcocks thrive under the protective shadow of Caucasus mountains, to sub-desert scrub in the southeast where Nile monitors and striped... | | Download Bookmark | | Building tension.

It is designed to carry out systematic experiments in the effects of social and environmental parameters on the formation of lithic (chipped stone artifact) assemblages in archaeological sites. This is especially important for lithics as it is a largely extinct technology and we cannot directly observe the accumulation of lithic assemblages over time frames comparable to those represented in the archaeological record. Agents represent... | |
