2D geometric morphometrics of murine mandibular toothrows from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia): implications for taxonomic identification
(2022)This study uses—and evaluates the efficacy of—two-dimensional geometric morphometrics (2DGM) to quantitatively characterize the size and shape of murine rodent (i.e., rat) mandibular molar rows from the archaeological ... -
An exploration of image recognition in archaeological starch analysis
(2023)The goal of this thesis was to produce a statistical method of assigning species to starch granules recovered from eastern North American archaeological assemblages. Starch grain analysis is an archaeobotanical tool that ... -
The face of Homo floresiensis: an investigation of scale
(2023)The face of Homo floresiensis has been described as small in absolute and relative size, comparable to the condition observed in modern humans (Homo sapiens). It has even been claimed that LB1’s relative facial dimensions ... -
A multi-substrate strontium isotope baseline for the Promontory Caves, Utah: implications for studies of ancient bison migration
(2023)The purpose of this thesis is to provide a framework for evaluating bison mobility in the eastern Great Basin during the thirteenth-century using strontium (Sr) isotope analysis. The Promontory Caves, Utah (42BO1 and ... -
New insights into modern human behaviour at Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) based on the temporal distribution of pottery and mollusks during the past 5,000 Years
(2022)In addition to preserving a rich archaeological record spanning from ~190 thousand years ago (ka) until the terminal Pleistocene, Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) also preserves a rich and relatively complete Holocene ... -
Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotope Analysis of Holocene Pigs from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia)
(2021)In this study, pigs from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) are examined using nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes to explore possible changes to their diet over the past ~5,000 years. This temporal period is of particular ... -
Tsattine People and Bison: Pre-Colonial Relationships and Ancestral Territories
(2022)Traditional knowledge and historical records indicate that communal hunting was an important practice for subarctic Beaver people (Dunne-zaa / Dane-zaa / Tsattine) of northern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. ...
