Scholarship on human–environment interactions tends to fall under two headings: collapse or resilience. While both offer valid explanatory frameworks for human–environment dynamics, both view stress as a net negative that, if unchecked, disrupts syst...

Ending the war on error: towards an archaeology of failure (2023)
Journal Article

Failure is a fundamental part of the human condition. While archaeologists readily identify large-scale failures, such as societal collapse and site abandonment, they less frequently consider the smaller failures of everyday life: the burning of a me...

The Southern Levantine pig from domestication to Romanization: A biometrical approach (2023)
Journal Article

Zooarchaeological research has begun to expose the long and complex history of the pig in the southern Levant. In this paper, we present the first large-scale synthesis of biometrical data from pigs and wild boar in the southern Levant from sites dat...

Wealth in Livestock, Wealth in People, and the Pre-Pottery Neolithic of Jordan (2023)
Journal Article

Within archaeology, the value of livestock is usually presented in terms of use values, the calories and products animals provide humans. Yet domestic animals are also sources of wealth that accrue symbolic and social values, tying livestock producti...
