Stockton Lake Survey and Wimmer Collection 1992–1993 is somewhat unique in that it includes materials that were recovered from the Stockton Lake area by an amateur archaeologist, as well as materials that were recovered as part of an official archaeological investigation in the same area. The Stockton Lake Survey and Assessment investigation was carried out in the Stockton Lake areas of Dade, Cedar, and Polk counties, Missouri, between the fall of 1992 and the spring of 1993 by Historic...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Stone armor was unearthed in Pit K9801 of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in 1998. In 2001, a large number of stone armor semi-finished products and processing tools were again discovered in a well of Qin Dynasty in Xinfeng Town on the south bank of the Wei River, clarifying for the first time where stone armor was produced. In 2019, stone armor was...

The capacity for storing surplus has been a key parameter in the hierarchical rankings of socio-political evolution, with empire at the apex. With its large-scale ports and massive warehouses, the Roman empire easily fits this bill. Models of socio-political evolution, however, not only build on top-down templates of power, but also adopt a view of things (i.e. stored goods) as passive resources. But in the light of recent material culture theory, storage becomes a more complex mediation of time...

This is an abstract from the "Partners at Work: Promoting Archaeology and Collaboration in the Chiricahua Mountains" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In collaboration with the National Park Service Southeast Arizona Group, field research by archaeologists, public historians, and students from the University of New Mexico has focused on ways to augment the interpretive programs within the Chiricahua National Monument and Fort Bowie National...

California State University Channel Islands is known as the location of the former Camarillo State Mental Hospital. The campus also serves as a case study for examining changes in communities and land use in California throughout time. Archaeological surveys on campus, artifact analyses, and historic records together document shifts in human activities at this location. This presentation outlines the long term use of this area by a noteworthy variety of people: the Chumash and their ancestors,...

The Davenport Danish Hall was considered eligible for the NRHP under Criterion A for its "association with the Danish ethnic population in Davenport, and with the history of city politics, specifically the impact of the Socialist Party in the 1920s." This structure was scheduled for demolition to allow for the construction of a new apartment complex as part of the redevelopment of downtown Davenport. As part of the mitigation, a small 30 x 50 ft parcel behind the structure was scheduled for...

This is an abstract from the "Ephemeral Aggregated Settlements: Fluidity, Failure or Resilience?" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Maritime trading emporia were nodal points of social networks and economic interactions in Viking-age Scandinavia. Despite their social centrality, archaeology shows that such places were rather small, unassuming, and sometimes short-lived settlement. This contrasts with a wealth of evidence pointing to communities...

Once the British Parliament abolished the trans-Atlantic trade in African captives the Bahamas became a primary locale for the re-settlement of these persons. Between 1811 and 1860 some 6,000 liberated Africans, as they were called, were re-settled in the Bahamas. These Africans served apprenticeship periods of six to sixteen years, at the end of which they were to be free. Archival documents and archaeological evidence suggest that these indentured Africans were able to maintain a stronger...

This is an abstract from the "Current Issues in Japanese Archaeology (2019 Archaeological Research in Asia Symposium)" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Traditional understandings of the history of writing in Japan have been both greatly enriched and substantially challenged by materials recovered from archaeological excavations. In particular, the continued recovery from archaeological contexts of the inscribed wooden documents known as mokkan has...

Imaging is a critical part of the archaeologist’s toolkit. Likewise, the capture, manipulation, enhancement, and interpretation of images has been the subject of significant research in computing over the past 20 years. This project brought together five students studying archaeology and computing to collaborate on fieldwork—and the hardware and software that supports that fieldwork—to engage in an exploration of the life of George White, a freed slave and property owner in Madison and Jackson...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Food is a foundational element of people’s everyday lives. The remains of what people did and did not eat can provide data as to how people lived, both within a household and as a society. This is true for historical assemblages, where physical remains can provide a more concrete picture of past lifeways than historical records alone. This poster...

Healy Lake Village site (XBD-00020), an important multicomponent site with occupations spanning the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene, provides an important opportunity to address fundamental issues of sub-arctic hunter-gatherers economies as they changed through time. To date, there are a limited number of sites in former Beringia with preserved faunal remains. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is an analytical method that can confirm the visual identifications of burned bone as...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological studies of institutions have had varying degrees of success in moving beyond the intentions of their builders - and their often-imposed material culture - to understand how the inhabitants lived in and experienced them. Our overarching interest in analyzing, recording and interpreting material remains can sometimes prevent us from moving beyond...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Russian colonial expansion into Alaska dramatically altered indigenous communities and landscapes. Motivated by valuable pelts and the desire to compete with other European powers, Russian fur traders crossed the North Pacific, constructing their first American settlement in 1784 near the modern village of Old Harbor on the Kodiak archipelago. Lacking the...
