Five archaeological sites represent Taino occupation in Jamaica during the late prehistoric period, dating between 900 and 1500 AD. Eight pollen samples were examined from cultural contexts within middens from these five sites to examine plants that were discarded. Pollen analysis was undertaken to identify both local vegetation and plants that were used and subsequently discarded in the middens during the Taino occupations.

Seventeen pollen and a single botanic sample were submitted for analysis from the Stone Ball Site (48SW11666). Seven pollen samples represent hearth fills, six samples represent the cultural level and ash/rock middens, and four samples represent washes of rock slabs used as lining for slab-lined hearths. Two of these washes were examined from each component. Two components were noted at this site. Component B, the oldest, is anchored by calibrated radiocarbon ages of 5480 to 4570 BP. This...

Holotunich, an historical site in Belize, was occupied in the late 19th to early 20th century. The San Pedro Maya, who were Caste War refuges, occupied the site between the 1860s and the 1890s. During the early 20th century, this site functioned as a British logging camp from approximately 1920 to 1945. Archival data indicates that the Maya engaged in agriculture and also occasionally worked in the logging camps. Phytolith analysis was undertaken to identify evidence of plants and search...

Excavations of historic features located on Blocks 10 and 15 for the 2nd Avenue Columbus, Georgia, site yielded samples that were examined for pollen, starch, phytoliths, and/or macrofloral remains to provide information concerning plants processed and used. Parasite analysis of possible privy fill will lend insight into the health of the historic site occupants. The temporal focus for this study is approximately 1828 to the 1860s. One specific question to be addressed by these analyses is...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recent excavations on St. Catherines Island, GA have uncovered a previously unknown late 18th to early 19th century site. No historic maps or written accounts report any sites or structures in this area. There have been extremely limited excavations related to any sites dating to this time period on St. Catherines Island and this site may be able to bridge a sizable gap in our...

In the summer of 2015 an archaeological dig was conducted, as part of a salvage project due to new construction, at RI-2451 on Block Island, Rhode Island. A pre-Columbian Native American habitation area was identified near the shoreline of the Great Salt Pond, a large and almost enclosed body of water separating the north and south regions of Block Island. The pond has a small channel, artificially dug in the late 1800s, on its northwest shore to connect it with the Block Island Sound. The...

Solving geoarchaeological questions in a cultural resources management (CRM) context can be difficult due to time and budget constraints. In the Pacific Northwest, however, recent projects have fortunately allowed for some micromorphological analyses. Paul Goldberg has championed micromorphology as a valuable geoarchaeological method over the past three decades. The micromorphological analysis of shell middens, peat deposits, and alluvial sediment in and around the Seattle, WA area has elevated...

The Aklis site (12VAm1-42) is a multicomponent prehistoric conch shell midden containing cemetery and habitation components. Large portions of the site are currently subject to damage from rising sea levels and modern disturbances, including looting. Salvage excavations of two sets of human remains in 2012 led to the development of an archaeological field school in 2014, offered by Mississippi State University and in conjunction with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Survey and excavation...

The Neolithic tell site of Çatalhöyük is composed of clusters of structures interspersed with open or external areas that contain extensive deposits of midden, as well as evidence for several other activities. James Mellaart (1967) initially identified these areas as courtyards while the current project has variously evaluated these spaces through frameworks of discard, food, and sharing practices. A general understanding of external spaces at Çatalhöyük sees them transformed from relatively...

The seven Amana villages of east-central Iowa were founded in the mid 19th century by German pietists seeking a removed location in which to practice their unique form of communal Christianity. In 1932 the community voted to separate the governing body of the church from the political and economic facets of community life for the first time, this event is remembered today as the "Great Change." In summer of 2012 a group of outhouses were excavated at the Amanas as part of a project to look at...

The distinction between generalized hunter-gatherers and economic specialists has long interested archaeologists reliant on faunal and floral remains. Resource-processing features provide another line of evidence to address the topic, though specialized facilities do not necessarily imply patterns of specialized subsistence. Chumash inhabitants of the Santa Monica Mountains provide a case in point. Earth ovens interpreted as specialized resource-processing facilities are commonly excavated, yet...

During the 2014 field season, the Montpelier Archaeology Department sampled an area known as the Southwest Yard. A large midden containing approximately 14,300 individual faunal elements and fragments was found. The Southwest Yard is located in close proximity to the domestic enslaved living and working area known as the South Yard, suggesting the midden could belong to the enslaved community. Within the South Yard, however, is an 18th century kitchen known as the South Kitchen. I will look at...
