“…Ethnoarchaeologists, argue David and Kramer (2001:95), study items of material culture and not the sediments which may encase them; analysis of those is "more properly the task of geoarchaeologists and of experimental archaeology." Ethnoarchaeological projects have addressed refuse disposal and site formation in village settings (Murray, 1980;Kramer, 1982;Hayden and Cannon, 1983;Siegel and Roe, 1986;Kamp, 1991;Sutro, 1991), but not the effects of observed processes on sediments or their chemical signatures. These issues are often investigated after the fact, when formation processes are reconstructed for archaeological middens (e.g., Stein, 1992;Needham and Spence, 1996).…”

Middens are surprisingly fluid entities in occupied communities, as shown by ethnoarchaeological research in Dalupa, Kalinga Province, northern Luzon, the Philippines. This study combines ethnoarchaeological observations of midden formation and disturbance in Dalupa with data from soils and sediments in natural, habitation, and midden contexts, including elemental data for 80 samples collected using inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectroscopy. Most surface samples from habitation areas cluster with midden samples, although samples from the lower parts of theses profiles resemble samples from natural contexts around Dalupa. One explanation is a changing spatial distribution of active middens due to changes in house placement and occupation in Dalupa's history. Some habitation areas that chemically resemble middens may once have held middens, as suggested by the periodic changes in midden location from the cleaning and management of extramural space. Surface scatters of human and animal refuse throughout the habitation area may also contribute to this pattern. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Utilitarian ceramics and other categories of household refuse are often discarded in similar ways and deposited into the same contexts, although hazardous materials such as obsidian debris may follow different waste streams for safety reasons (Calder 1972;Clark 1991;DeBoer and Lathrap 1979;Hayden and Cannon 1983;Kamp 1991;Kramer 1982;Murray 1980;Siegel and Roe 1986;Sutro 1991). DeBoer andLathrap (1979:128) report that in Shipibo-Conibo households, which contain at least a house and kitchen within a cleared plaza, discarded ceramics and other debris are "cleared centrifugally away from the household and accumulate immediately beyond the perimeter of the clearing."…”

The 2001 field season of the Kalinga Ethnoarchaeological Project addressed ceramic discard and midden formation in Dalupa, an upland community of 380 people in Pasil Municipality, Kalinga Province, the Philippines. Despite the increasing reliance on metal cooking vessels in the project area over time, two seasons of the Kalinga Ethnoarchaeological Project still provided enough data to describe ceramic discard and accumulation within middens. Dalupa middens receive most discarded vessels and a representative sample of discarded vessel types. This is in part because transport to water sources and washing, activities heavily associated with vessel breakage, now occur primarily within the residential area. Vessels often reach middens in a complete or reconstructible state, but are reduced to small sherds by cultural disturbance processes. Because people usually use the closest midden, catchment areas for middens can be predicted if the spatial distribution of contemporaneous residences, other activity areas, and middens is known. This work may help researchers distinguish the discarded ceramics from different households or groups of households, control for any biases in accumulation, and connect ceramic attributes with social variables of interest.

“…Da mesma forma, a compactação do solo e a quantidade de material arqueológico nas unidades escavadas na roça também estão relacionadas à dinâmica de uso desse espaço no passado, cujas atividades resultariam em menor acúmulo de material arqueológico, tal como observado para os espaços públicos e de circulação entre casas das aldeias indígenas contemporâneas (e.g. DEBÖER e LATHRAP, 1979;SIEGEL e ROE, 1986;KENT, 1999;SILVA, 2010). Como dito no início deste capítulo, os Asurini fazem outro uso desse espaço.…”
