Anthropology 513 Bioarchaeology Seminar Instructor: Dr. Corey Ragsdale Office: Social Science 217 Email: [email protected] Office hours: TR 2:00 to 3:30 Course Description Bioarchaeology allows us to ‘people’ the past. To do this, bioarchaeologists follow two general rules of thumb. First, they contextualize human remains in physical space, cultural milieu, and pre-historic time. That is, skeletonized and mummified bodies are never examined without also considering their associated archaeological materials. Second, bioarchaeologists regard ancient bodies as bio-cultural phenomena. Human biology is impacted directly by culture, and vice versa. With these two ideas in hand, we will explore bioarchaeology’s history, development, major topical concerns, and debates. We will also engage critically with categories and assumptions about race, sex/gender, age, ethnicity, disease and disability, violence, and body parts. To conclude the semester, we will reflect upon bioarchaeology’s relevance in contemporary politics.

  • Is the Truth Down There?: Cultural Heritage Conflict and the Politics of Archaeological Authority
    IS THE TRUTH DOWN THERE?: CULTURAL HERITAGE CONFLICT AND THE POLITICS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL AUTHORITY IAN BARBER PUBLIC HISTORY REVIEW, VOL 13, 2006, PP143-154 enerally it is acknowledged that conflict is axiomatic in any contemporary system of heritage (or cultural) resource management.1 Tunbridge and G Ashworth2 argue that dissonance (‘a discordance or a lack of agreement and consistency’) is ‘intrinsic’ to heritage, since ‘selection is inevitable’ and ‘any creation of heritage from the past disinherits someone [else] completely or partially, actively or potentially’. In this process there may be conflict between stakeholders who feel alienated from the physical reference points of their own past, and those decision-makers who would modify or appropriate that past. In overview, the selection pressures that are at the core of cultural heritage conflicts are complex and wide-ranging. Disagreement spans differences over the treatment and care of sites through to the targeted destruction of cultural property and associated customary communities.3 Affected communities may contest decisions that seem to dismiss their own heritage sites and associated narratives and practices. At the extreme end of the scale, these differences may lead to sectarian violence and the destruction of cultural property. Conflict can also occur between cultural heritage practitioners themselves over how, and even whether, to research the contested past.4 The appeal of the material archaeological record is often enhanced where the past is referenced in postcolonial or nationalist conflicts. In these disputes, archaeologists may be found as expert witnesses in legal proceedings (for example, Sutton’s article in this volume) or as public advocates for or against communities with customary or other cultural heritage associations.5 Newly discovered archaeological features and artifacts may be given considerable if tendentious weight or be subject to critical scrutiny and dismissal.

  • Bioarchaeology in the Roman Empire In
    Cite as: Killgrove, K. 2014. Bioarchaeology in the Roman Empire. In Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology, C. Smith, ed., Springer., pp. 876-882. DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4419-0465-2. Bioarchaeology in the Roman Empire In: The Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology Kristina Killgrove University of West Florida Department of Anthropology Introduction Much of a person’s life history is written on his or her bones. Skeletal remains of past populations are palimpsests of information about the behaviors people engaged in during their lives. The bioarchaeological study of burials from around the Roman Empire is a relatively new undertaking but has proven to be an essential line of evidence for understanding the demographic makeup, health status, and dietary regimes of the heterogeneous peoples that comprised the imperial population. Owing to a growing database of skeletal remains, bioarchaeologists are leading the way in answering questions about migration and urban life in the Roman Empire. Through an integration of bioarchaeological studies with traditional analyses of material culture and texts, the diversity of the Romans in all areas of the Empire is becoming apparent. Definition Bioarchaeology is the study of skeletal remains from archaeological sites. The term osteoarchaeology is also used, primarily in Europe, and through the years both terms have been broadly defined as including skeletal material from both humans and animals. Owing to the influence of New Archaeology, however, since the 1970s, bioarchaeology has conventionally dealt with the physical remains of humans from burials found in the archaeological record. In the U.S., bioarchaeology is considered a subspecialty of biological anthropology, whereas in Europe the field is more closely allied with archaeology and anatomy.

Please describe your proposal The major does not currently have formal concentrations that are tracked as degree requirements. The proposal consolidates and formalizes existing informal areas of concentration. Currently, our major offers six informal concentrations that serve as advising tools and offer students some limited conceptual structure for how coursework might be organized. As noted, there are no requirements for these concentrations. The proposal focuses the concentrations (reducing the number from six to four), provides formal criteria and requirements for each concentration, and builds more structure into the major. The Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Concentration integrates two of our existing informal concentrations—1) Archaeology Sen. Doc. No. 18-067 and Cultural Heritage and 2) Native American and Indigenous studies—into this formal concentration.

  • The Reconstruction of a Bronze Battle Axe and Comparison of Inflicted
    Journal of Imaging Article The Reconstruction of a Bronze Battle Axe and Comparison of Inflicted Damage Injuries Using Neutron Tomography, Manufacturing Modeling, and X-ray Microtomography Data Maria Mednikova 1,* , Irina Saprykina 1,2, Sergey Kichanov 2 and Denis Kozlenko 2 1 Department of Theory and Methods, Institute of Archaeology RAS, 117036 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] 2 Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, 141980 Dubna, Russia; [email protected] (S.K.); [email protected] (D.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-916-714-4625 Received: 14 April 2020; Accepted: 3 June 2020; Published: 8 June 2020 Abstract: A massive bronze battle axe from the Abashevo archaeological culture was studied using neutron tomography and manufacturing modeling from production molds. Detailed structural data were acquired to simulate and model possible injuries and wounds caused by this battle axe. We report the results of neutron tomography experiments on the bronze battle axe, as well as manufactured plastic and virtual models of the traumas obtained at different strike angles from this axe. The reconstructed 3D models of the battle axe, plastic imprint model, and real wound and trauma traces on the bones of the ancient peoples of the Abashevo archaeological culture were obtained. Skulls with traces of injuries originate from archaeological excavations of the Pepkino burial mound of the Abashevo culture in the Volga region. The reconstruction and identification of the injuries and type of weapon on the restored skulls were performed. The complementary use of 3D visualization methods allowed us to make some assumptions on the cause of death of the people of the Abashevo culture and possible intra-tribal conflict in this cultural society.

  • Clst 334R: Introduction to Classical Archaeology in Rome and Italy
    Loyola University Chicago John Felice Rome Center ClSt 334R: Introduction to Classical Archaeology in Rome and Italy Tuesdays 9:00 AM—12:00 PM JFRC + ON-SITE Instructor: Albert Prieto, M.Litt, PhD (Classics, History, Archaeology), [email protected] Office hours (faculty office): Tuesdays/Thursdays 3:00-3:30 and by appointment Introduction and Course Description What field allows you to study artifacts made by people 2000 years ago, read timeless literature, uncover and study ancient ruins in the open air while developing muscle tone and a tan, discover what ancient people ate and what diseases they had, reconstruct ancient religious beliefs, employ advanced digital technology to “see” what’s under the ground without digging, use a VR headset to immerse yourself in a reconstructed ancient setting, fly a drone, and ponder the Earth’s surface from the air or space? The answer is classical, or Greco-Roman, archaeology. This course introduces you to the surprisingly wide, often weird, and occasionally whimsical world of archaeology in Rome and Italy. We will start at the very beginning of the archaeological process, learning who the Romans were, how their society evolved historically, what kinds of tangible and intangible cultural assets they created, what happened to those assets after the inevitable collapse of the Roman Empire, and how centuries later people began the slow and steady process of reconstructing an accurate picture of a “lost” civilization from the many types of evidence left behind. Mention “archaeology,” and the first thing that invariably comes to mind is excavation: indeed, we will learn what modern archaeological excavation is (as opposed to digging for treasure) and what kinds of information it can retrieve for us.
