While lithic objects can potentially inform us about past adaptations and behaviors, it is important to develop a comprehensive understanding of all of the various processes that influence what we recover from the archaeological record. We argue here that many assumptions used by archaeologists to derive behavioral inferences through the definition, conceptualization, and interpretation of both...

Dating of prehistoric anthropogenic earthworks requires either excavation for archaeological artifacts or macroscopic organic matter suitable for 14C analysis. Yet, the former, in many cases, is undesirable and the latter is difficult to obtain. Here we present a soil science procedure, which has the potential to overcome these problems. It includes careful sampling of buried former soil surfac...

Analysis of inorganic elements in archaeological artifacts is commonly used to determine vital properties of the item, such as where, when, and how it was made. Micro X-ray Fluorescence (microXRF) is a non-destructive technique that can provide qualitative, quantitative, and distributional information from the sample, with minimal sample preparation. With potentially high-value artifacts, this ...
