This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the passing of NAGPRA in 1990, a potential new sub-field of jobs has emerged for bioarchaeologists and archaeologists who are invested in the repatriation process of Indigenous ancestral remains and sacred belongings. It has been 32 years since the law was passed, and NAGPRA job vacancies at federally funded institutions are still widely prevalent...

This is an abstract from the "In Search of Solutions: Exploring Pathways to Repatriation for NAGPRA Practitioners (Part IV): NAGPRA in Policy, Protocol, and Practice" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. NAGPRA practice entails working with death. This occurs when practitioners are engaging with the Dead, the circumstances of their occurrence in collections, and the wider scope of systemic violence that prompted the need for NAGPRA. NAGPRA practice is a...

This is an abstract from the "Beyond Leaky Pipelines: Exploring Gender Inequalities in Archaeological Practice" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1985, Joan Gero published an article in *American Antiquity* arguing that archaeologists conform in their professional roles to stereotypical American gender roles: publicly visible, dominant men collect and publish data and passive, publicly invisible women do the “archaeological housework.” This...

This is an abstract from the "Refining Archaeological Data Collection and Management to Achieve Greater Scientific, Traditional, and Educational Values" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Though making great strides over the past 50 years, Section 106, the primary driver of cultural resource management (CRM), is still often boxed in by rote inventory and derivative interpretation and implementation. This paper will discuss a national initiative by the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The goal of this project is to show the significance of language in the cultural heritage management and protection efforts. In heritage law, language is the tool that reifies morals into (looked-for) action, thus shaping behaviorism. Since legalese defines what heritage is, it affects the way that archaeologists see, understand, act on, and preserve...

Native Americans and American History is an overview of the study of the writing of Native American History in the United States. America’s understanding of Indian history has become increasingly nuanced and sophisticated, particularly in the last half century. Today’s historians continue to revise and build on the scholarship of those who came before them, and new perspectives continue to emerge—not only because new scholars enter the field, but also because scholars borrow theoretical...

This is an abstract from the "Silenced Rituals in Indigenous North American Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this session, we seek to reveal rituals that have been silenced and broaden our understandings of indigenous rituals in North American archaeology. The treatment of this topic requires a diverse set of perspectives due to its complexity as well as the ways that past rituals continue to reverberate in the present. Central to...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Natural resources conservation arrangements, including easements on land, have existed in the US for many years, with origins in the Conservation Movement dating to the time and efforts of T.R. Roosevelt. In recent years, the land conservation movement has grown across the US, and often involves support from national, state and local governments partnering...

This is an abstract from the "The Columbian Exchange Revisited: Archaeological and Anthropological Perspectives on Eurasian Domesticates in the Americas" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. European settlers in the Americas brought with them a familiar suite of domesticated plants and animals and frequently relied upon them for subsistence. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, European colonial powers became involved in the fur trade,...

Over the last several decades, STEM scholars have recognized the importance of developing and integrating discipline-based education research (DBER). As outlined by the National Research Council of the National Academies, the goals of DBER are to 1) understand how students learn discipline concepts, practices, and ways of thinking; 2) understand how students develop expertise; 3) identify and measure learning objectives and forms of instruction that advance students towards those objectives; 4)...

This is an abstract from the "Openness & Sensitivity: Practical Concerns in Taking Archaeological Data Online" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Appropriate stewardship of sensitive archeological data necessarily involves overlapping and intertwined authorities, systems, and institutions. The authorities, in turn have different limits and requirements, while various entities have divergent purposes, needs, and protocols. Archeologists, librarians,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The cause of morphological variation in material culture has long been debated. This investigation into archaic projectile point variation from the Gault site in central Texas looks through the lens of social learning to suggest that different teaching and learning strategies represent the root cause of variation. These strategies may in turn reflect part of...

While the arrival of domesticated dogs with an initial human migration has been the most reasonable explanation for their presence in the Americas, evidence for Paleoindian dogs has proven elusive. Here, we present the identification and direct radiocarbon dating of an isolated dog burial from Stilwell II, an Early Archaic site in the Lower Illinois River Valley. We also present new direct radiocarbon dates for two dogs from the nearby Archaic Koster site. These dates confirm that the Stilwell...

This is an abstract from the "Navigating Ethical and Legal Quandaries in Modern Archaeological Curation" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For many decades, the Arizona State Museum (ASM) used a flat-rate curation model that proved unsustainable. It did not cover the costs of reviewing incoming materials for compliance with the Arizona Antiquities Act (AAA), preparing submissions for curation, or care in perpetuity. Furthermore, inadequate funding...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Methods for Monitoring Heritage at Risk Sites in a Rapidly Changing Environment", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As the issue of plastic pollution grows, coastal and maritime archaeological sites are increasingly being impacted by single-use plastic waste. While we can see these impacts at existing cultural resources, it is important to recognize role of plastic waste in creating entirely new, anthropogenic...

This is an abstract from the "Canine Resources for the Archaeologist" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Human remains detection dogs have been used with success to detect both historic and prehistoric human remains in various projects in the United States and Europe. However, success has often been marginal, as it is with “search and rescue” cadaver dogs. Three dogs have been trained at the forensic anthropology center at Texas State University on...

This is an abstract from the "New Perspectives on Heritage Protection: Accomplishing Goals" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite past cultural resource protection efforts, looting remains a prevalent issue throughout the U.S. While the laws may be adequate, current methods of and emphasis on detection and enforcement of these crimes are not. This paper discusses new perspectives on cultural heritage protection based primarily on the results of...

In 2010, Steve Mrozowski and I proposed a "new pragmatism" as a way for archaeology to cut the Gordion knot of endless theory debates. We argued that this movement or spirit does not refer to the dominance of any one approach or theory, but rather to the more explicit integration of archeology and its social contact in ways that serve contemporary human needs. In my contribution, I example the relevance of some of the insights of Richard Rorty and Jurgen Habermas in developing a pragmatic...

This article discusses the implications of the National Parks Omnibus Management Act. In particular, Title II which presents multidisciplinary research and resource management as linked endeavors that together lie at the very heart of the National Park System’s purpose. Title II also requires NPS to use resource information in its decision-making, and be accountable for the impact of those decisions upon resources under its care.

During the 13th century Iceland became a major hub of the North Atlantic fishing industry sparking international conflict over fishing rights between mercantile interests from Norway, Denmark, England, the Netherlands and Northern Germany. From ca. 1200 - 1563 the Catholic Church and cemetery on the island of Haffjarðarey served as the burial place for the large geographic region of Eyjahreppur in western Iceland. The church and cemetery were closed during the Lutheran Reformation and the...
