  • 12 Entangled Rituals: Death, Place, and Archaeological Practice
    - 253 - WILLIAMS Discussion 12 Entangled rituals: Death, place, and archaeological practice Howard Williams 12.1. Introduction Exploring the archaeological investigation of ritual and religion, this collection tackles case studies from Finland and Sápmi over the last millennium revealing multiple fresh insights into the entangled nature of belief and ritual across contrasting subsistence strategies, social structures, and worldviews and encapsulating both colonial and post-colonial contexts. In particular, multiple chapters tackle fluidity and hybridization between traditional and Christian belief and practice over the long term. In doing so, while archaeological theory and method is the principal focus, many chapters effectively synergize linguistic, folkloric, anthropological, and historical research in decisive ways. The theme of entanglement simultaneously encapsulates multiple planes and registers in this book, including the entangled nature of people with things, monuments, and landscapes, but also the entanglements between the living world and the places and spaces of the dead. Entanglements are considered in temporal terms too, as sites, monuments, and buildings both sacred and secular are built, used, transformed, abandoned, reused, reactivated, and re-imagined through ritual practice. The chapters thus tackle new ways of investigating a range of contexts and material cultures and their material, spatial and, biographical significances from portable artefacts and costume (Hukantaival; Lipkin; Moilanen and Hiekkanen; Piha; Ritari-Kallio), settlements and sacred buildings (Modar- ress; Moilanen and Hiekkanen), factories (Hemminki), and natural places (Äikäs and Ahola; Piha). Throughout, attention to mortuary environments – graves, cemeteries, and memorials – are a par- ticular and pervasive theme. Rituals and sacred places are considered as mechanisms and media respectively by which social memories are conjured and conveyed, and by which both continuities and changes are mediated through time.

  • Medieval Burials and the Black Death a Report on Badia Pozzeveri, Italy Bioarchaeology Field School Summer 2015
    Medieval Burials and the Black Death A Report on Badia Pozzeveri, Italy Bioarchaeology Field School Summer 2015 During the summer of 2015, I was given the opportunity to participate in the Ohio State University/Universitá de Pisa in Medieval Archaeology and Bioarchaeology at Badia Pozzeveri, Italy. Under the direction of Dr. Clark Larsen and Dr. Giuseppe Vercellotti from OSU and Dr. Gino Fornaciari from the Universitá de Pisa, we were able to continue and expand previous excavations conducted at the site. This included exposing human burials dated to the middle ages, the renaissance and modern times. THE EXCAVATION The entirety of the field school students were assigned to one of four different areas (2000, 3000, 5000, and 6000) at the church of ‘San Pietro a Pozzeveri.’ I was fortunate to be assigned to area 6000, which is located opposite of the old facade of the church and was at one time the churchyard. As a new area, this provided an excellent opportunity, as someone with no prior field school experience, to work through and understand the initial steps it takes to expose a previously undisturbed area. The first task for area 6000, before we excavated, was the removal of loose dirt and excess sand on the surface. After this task we had realized that the area, at its current level, contains three components; US 6001, US 6002, and US 6003. The center of the area (US 6002) contained the upper interface of a large pre-modern drainage system. The largest concentration in the rest of the area (US 6001 and US 6003) included scattered and fragmentary bones, which confirmed the presence of a previous cemetery area.

The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have

  • Chapter 4 LOOKING to the FUTURE of MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY
    chapter 4 LOOKING TO THE FUTURE OF MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY By Mark Gardiner and Stephen Rippon A symposium entitled ‘Looking to the Future’ was held as part of the Society for Medieval Archaeology’s 50th anniversary to reflect upon current and forthcoming issues facing the discipline. The discussion was wide-ranging, and is summarized here under the topics of the research potential of development-led fieldwork, the accessibility of grey literature, research frameworks for medieval archaeology, the intellectual health of the discipline, and relevance and outreach. introduction Many of the events celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Society for Medieval Archaeology, and the resulting papers in this volume, look back over progress and past achievements. In contrast, the final workshop, ‘Looking to the Future’, held at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, on 3 May 2008, reflected upon the current problems and the way in which the subject might develop in the future. The event was not intended to agree a definite road-map for the future, even if such a thing were possible, a subject which was itself debated. Instead, it was designed to stimulate discussion on current questions and it succeeded in that respect. Contributions were made not only by the speakers who provided short introductions to the topics, but also by many of the people who attended and oCered comments. There was much vigorous discussion also amongst the break-out groups which met to discuss the formal papers, and by individuals over lunch, during the coCee-breaks and in the reception afterwards. The participants came from across the archaeological profession and included those working in the contract sector, in museums, universities and the state bodies.

Here we characterize a population of human T cells, which we term / T cells, expressing TCRs comprised of a TCR- variable gene (V1) fused to joining and constant domains, paired with an array of TCR- chains. We demonstrate that these cells, which represent 50% of all V1+ human T cells, can recognize peptide- and lipid-based Ags presented by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and CD1d, respectively.
