A broken boulder that may have been used as a stone tool (maul) was submitted for protein residue analysis. This tool was recovered from the National City Mastodon Site in National City, a southern suburb of San Diego, California. The rock was found among broken mastodon bones. If this boulder was used to process plant or animal remains, identifiable proteins may be present in the micro-crevices on its surface.

Washes from three bedrock milling features (mortars) and a surface control sample were submitted for protein residue analysis from the BTC Milling Site, P-33-11224, located in Riverside County, California, near the community of French Valley. The goal of the analysis is to identify any plant, animal, and insect protein residues that may be present on the use surfaces of three non-portable bedrock milling features.

Groundstone tools, flaked lithic tools, and wash samples from three bedrock milling elements were submitted for protein residue analysis from site CA-SDI-16648, Lawson Valley, San Diego County, California. Protein residue extracts from these samples were tested against various plant and animal antisera to better understand resource utilization by the site occupants.

As part of the Metropole Project #2940, Avalon, California, six metates were recovered along with other artifacts salvaged from a village midden. Groundstone wash samples were collected by Cogstone Resource Management from the use surface and control samples were taken from the non-use surface. Protein residue analysis was conducted on the wash samples to determine whether meat was processed using the tools, and if so, what animals were utilized.

The mid-section of a chert biface artifact from the La Purisima Mission Granary Site in Lompoc, California, was analyzed for possible protein residues. This artifact was discovered near the stone foundation of the La Purisima Granary and is believed to represent a hafted knife that was used either in agriculture or in skinning hides. Previous studies have shown that protein residues from a tool's surface can be identified using modified forensic procedures.

Site CA-SDI-15026 is a prehistoric Kumeyaay site with scattered habitation debris, a Yoni boulder formation, and a milling feature. The site is situated along the upper elevations of three hill slope fingers located in Ramona, California. Wash samples collected from two milling slick elements of Feature HT-1 were submitted for protein residue analysis.

Artifacts and associated soil control samples from sites CA-SDI-19406, CA-SDI-12100, and CA-SDI-9824 from Camp Pendleton, California, were submitted for protein residue analysis. The samples consisted of washes from various groundstone tools, retouched flakes, and bedrock milling features. The floated light fractions from several column samples at these sites also were submitted for macrofloral analysis. A two-sigma calibrated age range of AD 1630–1910 and AD 1920–beyond 1950 was returned for...

The Peace Camp, near the Nevada National Security Site, is the location where protesters have gathered for several decades to voice their opposition to nuclear testing and environmental issues. This National Register eligible property contains an abundance of archaeological features, such as rock cairns, tent pads, sweat lodges, and geoglyphs. Associated with these features are two concrete highway drainage tunnels that served as a passageway and a place of respite from the desert conditions. In...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Historic Hanna’s Town collection consists of artifacts from an 18th-centruy town in western Pennsylvania excavated both 40 years ago by amateurs and two years ago by closely supervised field schools. The earlier collections often lack precise provenience information but represent a...

Utilizing the whole experience of a multi-disciplinary expedition to reach teachers and students empowers the recipients.  The Deepwater Shipwrecks and Oil Spill Impact study provided an array of information to teachers and students covering diverse topics from how do folks in the southern tip of Louisiana build homes that survive flooding to what do microorganisms tell us about the impact of the oil spill and shipwrecks they thrive upon.  Getting the information out through multiple channels...

In the late-nineteenth century Maya refugees fleeing the violence of the Caste War of Yucatan (1847-1901) briefly reoccupied the ancient Maya ruins of Tikal.  Unlike the numerous Yucatec refugee communities established to the east in British Honduras, those who settled at Tikal combined with Lacandon Maya, and later Ladinos from Lake Petén Itza to form a small, multiethnic village in the sparsely occupied Petén jungle of northern Guatemala.  This paper discusses the analysis of the mass-produced...

Archaeological evidence for regional and inter-site landscape use during the antebellum period in Charleston, South Carolina, suggests that segregation and segmentation characterized much, but not all, of the city's economy.  Much of the city's architecture and material culture reflects economic disparity in an increasingly crowded urban environment.  Data from plantation, residential, commercial, public, and market sites reveal fluid and complex provisioning strategies that linked the city with...

Through faunal analysis of the remains of mammals, molluscs, fish and fowl found at the Dorchester Industrial School for Girls this report explores the dietary habits of staff and students, and connects the socioeconomic and cultural positionality of the girls, the School, and their food to the greater context of late 19th century Boston. We may interrogate specific social circumstances and their effect on daily meals, and in doing so draw useful comparisons between the activities of the port of...
