When envisioning a railroad, most people think of...

What is so fascinating about heritage resources? What is it that sparks the imagination and instills a sense of place and wonder? What great lessons can we take away from the past? The most important roles of a federal archaeologist are to try to encourage public interest in questions like those, while preserving select sites with the greatest potential to provide the answers. However, compliance work for federal undertakings often focuses our attention and limited resources on the least...

This is an abstract from the "Debitage Analysis: Case Studies, Successes, and Cautionary Tales" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Debitage analysis can be conducted in a wide range of ways, and no standard approach has been broadly accepted. Over the years many attempts have been made to introduce varying classification systems for debitage analysis. This paper uses experimental archaeology to test different classification systems for accuracy, and...

This project analyzes late 19th to early 20th-century farmsteads, which share many similarities in terms of types of artifacts, layout, historic use, and relationships to the topography, is intended to promote more efficient decisions regarding "potentially eligible" archaeological sites by making fewer individual site evaluations necessary, leading to more cost-effective management and increased troop readiness through wider access to training lands.

This is an abstract from the "Presidential Session: What Is at Stake? The Impacts of Inequity and Harassment on the Practice of Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Sexual harassment has long been rampant in the discipline of archaeology, and until recently, our collective understanding of its pervasiveness and effects has been largely anecdotal. Recent surveys on the topic aimed at the memberships of the Southeastern Archaeological...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The period in American history from 1924 to the 1940s represents a pivotal time for transcontinental aviation, making it possible for mail to travel from New York City to San Francisco in 30 hours. Transcontinental aviation is a feat that had not been possible prior to the establishment of a system of lighted beacons and concrete navigational arrows. The...

Repatriation at the National Museum of Natural History is conducted under the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) Act of 1989, as amended in 1996, and involves the return of affiliated human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony. In the 28 years since the passage of the NMAI Act, the museum has affiliated over 6,000 individuals and thousands of objects and completed over 120 repatriations to Native Alaskan, Native Hawaiian and Native American...

This is an abstract from the "The Socioecological Dynamics of Holocene Foragers and Farmers" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We test a general hypothesis that may explain large population decline events among human populations: the intensification of production generates a cross-scale tradeoff between individuals generating a surplus of energy to maximize their fitness and the vulnerability of a population as a whole to large decline events, known...

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2008 an eroding midden along Iceland’s western coast was discovered to be part of a large 15th century commercial fishing station - the first of its kind to be found in Iceland. The site was clearly endangered by coastal erosion and with support from the National Science Foundation rescue excavations were carried out over...

This is an abstract from the "Ideas, Ethical Ideals, and Museum Practice in North American Archaeological Collections" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Research and/or stewardship? Native American cultural materials excavated or collected by archaeologists, particularly at research universities, have focused on Western-defined “scientific” and educational values of these collections. Tribal members increasingly are challenging such ideas. They...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Indigenous cultural protocols impact consultation with museums in numerous ways. Tribal perspectives on feminine power that is most evident during menstruation can challenge non-Native ways of working with museum collections. This poster will discuss ways in which museum staff negotiate unfamiliar cultural practices during tribal consultation. Respect for...

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. The archaeological record is under attack. Whether from willful destruction at the hands of religious extremists, vandalism aimed at destroying the heritage of minority populations, looting for fun and profit, development in the name of progress, ill-considered agency actions, or climate-driven fire and erosion, the tangible...
