Functional, zooarchaeological, and workflow analyses of temporally and spatially contextualized worked bones from Building IIIF1 at the Iron Age pastoral campsite of Shirenzigou, in the Eastern Tianshan, provide compelling evidence for a specialized production space associated with pastoral strategies. Beyond evidence of bone working, the combination of diverse production-related items and deposits, the structure’s unusually large size, and the absence of domestic features together suggest that IIIF1 functioned as a collective multi-craft facility, likely emerging in response to increasing regional socio-political complexity during the first millennium BCE.

Using ethnographic correlations between gender-specific activities, we model how hunting success and childcare influenced gendered technological choices and labor organization. Before the Early Holocene, women hunted diverse fauna near wetlands while performing transport and processing tasks for large game hunting, requiring investment in tools for processing meat and hides. As wetlands desiccated and large game became scarce, gendered labor diverged. Women increasingly harvested low-yield resources like seeds to reliably provision children, investing in tools that reduced seed processing costs. Men continued pursuing large game but with diminished support from women. This transition established the strongly divergent gendered labor documented among ethnographic Great Basin hunter-gatherers and resolves apparent contradictions between subsistence and technological evidence in the archaeological record.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Archaeology","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101746"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145822772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that it is the very fragility of this technology — its propensity to break down — that has precipitated its rapid adaptations to changing environments. Treatment of fragility is selective: communities repair critical parts and allow others to deteriorate. We suggest that this uneven pattern of care allows frequent, targeted, and makeshift repairs organized through moral economies and collaborative labor practices characteristic of the Turpanian oases.

Here we use multivariate procedures on a large dataset to examine the interactions of many variables in atlatl dart launching. Our models demonstrate that heavier darts tend to result in lower velocity but significantly higher kinetic energy, but also that marked differences occur in the KE achieved by individual atlatlists—more people can effectively use lighter darts, which other experiments show are effective against a range of small to medium prey, while the strongest throwers can achieve the highest KE using heavier darts, arguably more effective against larger prey. Atlatlist experience plays a less significant role than overall strength, and some new throwers achieved high velocities with little practice. Weapon and user variability complicates some recent ideas about social change and weapon function.

Revisiting foundational studies in conjunction with new data in the Early Horizon of the Central Andes reveals spatial, material, and bioarchaeological variability in conflict. I test the hypothesis that Salinar is characterized by conflict through osteological trauma analyses from the José Olaya-La Iglesia (JO-IG) site, a Salinar cemetery of a small coastal fishing community on the North Coast of Peru. I evaluate whether interpersonal trauma is more prevalent for particular social identities. Trauma analyses suggest interpersonal violence does not characterize the cemetery. JO-IG is also compared with inter- and intravalley contemporary bioarchaeological analyses from Cerro Oreja (Moche Valley) and Puémape (Jequetepeque Valley). I argue escalated conflict may be overstated for the Salinar as a whole. Just as Salinar was a time of immense sociopolitical change with variable expressions, conflict too was likely just as variable across the Salinar landscape.
