Teaching Data Reuse

Kevin Garstki | 12 Aug 2022

Councils and Democratic Institutions in the Eastern Woodlands

Victor D. Thompson and Turner W. Hunt | 8 Jul 2022

As we are both children of the 70s and 80s, the things that we were taught about the history of democracy in public school somehow does not track with what we understand about the topic today.…

Jay V. Haigler, Nicole Bucchino Grinnan and Ashley Lemke | 22 Jun 2022

Understanding migration through ancient DNA

Ian Armit and David Reich | 16 Jun 2022

One of the most exciting developments in archaeology over the past few years has been the rapid growth in population-scale studies using ancient DNA.…


Surely another way of cooking? What the Hellenistic Braziers from the Agora of Nea Paphos can tell us about ancient social behaviour

Kamila Nocoń | 15 Jun 2022

Portable braziers, frequently made of clay utensils and appearing in different shapes (Fig. 1:a), are associated with the process of cooking. They were popular across the Mediterranean from the Early Hellenistic to the Early Roman periods.


Public Education and Outreach in Archaeology

Christina B. Rieth | 24 May 2022

Lidar in Mesoamerica since 2016: Acquisition, Ownership, and Accessibility

Kathryn Reese-Taylor and Arlen Chase | 9 May 2022

In 2016, we were privileged to edit a special section in Advances in Archaeological Practices on lidar in Mesoamerica and are delighted that the editors of AAP have invited us to provide an update to that special section in this blog. At that time, lidar acquisition was still uncommon, with only a handful of projects being fortunate enough to acquire the data that was revolutionizing settlement studies in tropical areas like Mesoamerica.

A Complicated History of Collaboration with Collectors of Spirit Eye Cave, Texas

Bryon Schroeder and Xoxi Nayapiltzin | 26 Apr 2022

Research at Spirit Eye Cave did not take the course I envisioned. In the 1950s and 1960s, this cave, located on a private ranch in West Texas, was a pay-to-dig site. It was extensively dug, all too common with the vast tracts of private land that typify Texas. Initially, the goal of my research was to salvage any information about when the cave was occupied, and to examine the perishable collections.

Christopher D. Dore | 30 Mar 2022

Listening and Learning: Maximizing Information Recovery by Consulting with Descendant Native Americans and Collaborating with Landowners

Gail Williams Wertz | 28 Mar 2022
