The Potential for Georeferenced Spatial Data on Coastal Erosion Sites (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ruth Maher. Robert Friel. Lindsey Kemp. Julie Bond. Stephen Dockrill.

Coastal erosion sites contain the same complexity as any other site; however, the sequences are often truncated and the recovery conditions require adaptive approaches. Although these sites are eroding, there is a need for equal rigor in their recording. The coastal erosion site at Swandro, Rousay, Orkney, has been recorded using a variety of georeferenced data sets. This paper examines the potential of micro-analysis of the 3-dimensional coordinate records of artifacts and geo-referenced...


A Preliminary Analysis of the Spatial Distribution of Prehistoric Sites within a 4,300-Acre Block of the Tularosa Basin, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel Martinez. Brad Beacham. Nate Myers.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. An ongoing cultural resource inventory on White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico identified over 100 prehistoric and multicomponent sites in the valley bottom of the Tularosa Basin, greatly exceeding the anticipated number of prehistoric resources for the approximately 4,300-acre study area. In an effort to elucidate a better understanding of the...


Preliminary Insights into Prehistoric Toolstone Preference of Two Igneous Materials in the Tanana River Drainage, Interior Alaska (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brooks Lawler.

This project examines prehistoric human mobility and raw material preference for tool manufacture in the Tanana River Drainage, Interior Alaska. A geographic approach is used to investigate the distribution of prehistoric obsidian and rhyolitic artifacts in relation to the sources of these materials. The objective of the investigation is to reveal spatial patterning in the distributions of artifacts made of these two materials, relative to each other and relative to the cost of obtaining these...

Preliminary spatial analysis of the Middle Mumun culture's land-use pattern in southcentral region of Korea (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ha Beom Kim. Gyoung-Ah Lee.

This study investigates the land-use pattern of the Middle Mumun culture (c. 29/2800–2400 cal. BP) in south-central region of Korea from a spatial analytic perspective. By employing inter-settlement visibility analysis and geographical variable comparisons, this study explores social and environmental contexts affecting cultural decisions of the Middle Mumun people for their settlement locations. Through our analysis, we find that relationships across the Middle Mumun settlements may have...


Python Scripting and Archaeological Applications Using ArcGis (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Cosimo Sgarlata.

When ArcGis software enabled Python computer scripting language as a platform whereby users can automate tasks, edit and create new programs; it opened a door for archaeologists to enhance much of the work they do mapping, and performing spatial analysis. This session looks at the utilization of Python scripting language for automating a number of tasks which archaeologists do routinely, as well as other open source software and how its applications can lend new dimensions to the way we analyze...


Quantifying Intra-site Spatial Patterns at Early Paleoindian Sites (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph A. M. Gingerich.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Understanding intra-site spatial patterning has long been a focus in archaeology. This poster focuses on patterns observed through a detailed analysis of an Early Paleoindian site. The models developed from these analyses provide testable hypothesis to compare to other mobile hunter-gatherer sites. In total, over 18,000 artifacts with exact spatial coordinates...


Redefining Plantation Landscapes at James Monroe’s Highland: A Spatial Analysis of Yard Usage and Function (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kyle W. Edwards.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Once the home of President James Monroe, Highland is an historic plantation located in the central Virginia Piedmont. However, the modern plantation landscape is the product not only of Monroe, but also its seven subsequent owners and the numerous free and enslaved individuals that inhabited it over the course of the 19th century. This complex occupational history combined with limited...

Results of Survey and Analysis of Manteño Archaeological Sites with Stone Structures in the Las Tusas River Valley, Rio Blanco, Ecuador (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andres Garzon-Oechsle. Valentina Martínez.

The Manteño (1500 BP–1532) of coastal Ecuador are known for their long distance maritime trade networks along the Pacific coast of the Americas; they occupied a large territory that was geographically and environmentally diverse. This diversity allowed the Manteños to exploit a multitude of resources from each unique environment resulting in distinct settlement patterns for each region. One of the least known of these occupied environments and the focus of this paper is the cloud forest of the...


Results of Survey and Analysis of Manteño Archaeological Sites with Stone Structures in the Upper Río Blanco River Valley, Manabí, Ecuador (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andres Garzon-Oechsle.

This paper will present the results of a three-year effort to survey and document Manteño archaeological sites with stone structures within the limits of the Upper Río Blanco River Valley in Southern Manabí. The region is home to 40 known Manteño sites with more than 100 stone structures across the river valleys of La Encantada, Las Tusas and La Mocora that carve the foothills of the Bola de Oro mountain. The Florida Atlantic University Archaeological Fieldschool in Ecuador, directed by...

Reverse Engineering China's Terracotta Army through Morphometric and Spatial Analyses (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Marcos Martinón-Torres. Xiuzhen Janice Li. Andrew Bevan.

Built in the 3rd century BC, the Mausoleum of China’s First Emperor is one of several very large known constructions commissioned by early states and empires. Understanding the craft processes and production organisation behind such constructions is informative to historians of technology but also as a potential indicator of wider institutional practices for the management of labour, materials and knowledge, which may facilitate comparisons between different states. The lack of associated...


Revisiting a Stratified Random Sample of the 18th-Century Liberty Hall Campus of Washington and Lee University (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Donald Gaylord.

Many of us at institutions with long-standing archaeology programs benefit greatly from the collections we inherit. However, these also present certain challenges. One such example is a stratified random sample done by Washington and Lee Archaeology in the 1970s on its 18th-century Liberty Hall Campus. Exceptional in historical archaeology at a time when many archaeologists were still stripping the plowzone from sites, a stratified random sample provides the statistical benefits of randomness,...


Risky business: the impact of climate variability on human populations in Western Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum. (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ariane Burke. Masa Kageyama. Guillaume Latombe. Mathieu Vrac. Patrick James.

The extent to which climate change has affected the course of human evolution is an enduring question. The ability to maintain spatially extensive social networks and fluid social structure allow human foragers to “map onto” the landscape, mitigating the impact of resource fluctuation. Together, these adaptations confer resilience in the face of climate change – but what are the limits of this resilience and what is the role played by climate variability? We address this question by testing how...


Rocks that Roll: Potential Spatial Applications for X-Ray Fluorescence Data (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Luke Stroth.

This poster explores the potential applications of using x-ray fluorescence data to assess site integrity and site formation processes. The subject of the analysis was the fire-modified rock assemblage from the University of Iowa Field School at Woodpecker Cave (13JH202), a Late-Woodland rock shelter. The assemblage was selected because of their ubiquity throughout the site, their likely sourcing from the adjacent limestone cliff face, and association with known cultural horizons. The assemblage...
