dc.description.abstract | Hearth formation processes are complex. They involve multiple actions, reactions, and activities before, during, and after an active fire and can also impact a wide range of materials and sediments at an archaeological site. Archaeologists approach combustion features and formation processes from multiple analytical perspectives. However, many experimental studies are limited to a strict analytical focus on a single or very few fire-related aspects to allow for careful control of specific variables. Six researchers report here on a multi-focus experimental approach in order to understand complex fire practices and heat-induced alteration of micromammals, ostrich eggshell fragments, mineral pigments, shellfish, and sediments. We designed and conducted five experiments with a state-of-the-art 3D documentation setup, active fires, and excavation through photogrammetry and spatial recording. We provide a brief general account of the experiments and an overview of the experimental design before comparing single-focus and multifaceted experiments and pointing to some of the benefits of our approach and potential areas for improvement. Multifaceted experiments are complex and resource-demanding, and proto-experiments should ideally be part of the experimental design. Our 3D recording and collaboration on documentation strategies provided a wide range of data that can further our understanding of prehistoric combustion features. | en_US |
