In survey, we collect what lies on the surface. But so have others, for decades or more. Ignoring private collections risks neglecting a selective but informative part of the accumulated record. One way to gauge collector effects is to compare what archaeologists found in survey to private collections from the same places. In 1975-77 the University of Michigan surveyed the River Raisin watershed in southeastern Michigan. I compare Michigan’s results to what collectors had found already and,...

Archaeological sites around the world are threatened by the effects of climate change.  Oceans are encroaching inland due to sea level rise, with daily tides and waves imperiling coastal archaeological sites.  Inland torrential rains can lead to flooding and higher temperatures can lead to droughts that kill off vegetation, both of which can expose middens and other subsurface features to erosion.  This paper will focus on Louisiana’s coastal zone; current impacts to archaeological sites from...

The Klein Site is a Paleo Indian site of the Parkhill Phase (ca. 11,000 to 10,500 BP) located in the upper Great Lakes, Shiawassee County, Michigan (William Lovis, personal communication December 4, 2015). Lithic artifacts including point/knife and other biface fragments were recovered by property owners from the top 20 cm of their garden. Nine biface fragments recovered from clayey silts and associated sediment control samples were selected from the assemblage for protein residue (CIEP)...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Historic Hanna’s Town collection consists of artifacts from an 18th-centruy town in western Pennsylvania excavated both 40 years ago by amateurs and two years ago by closely supervised field schools. The earlier collections often lack precise provenience information but represent a...

Utilizing the whole experience of a multi-disciplinary expedition to reach teachers and students empowers the recipients.  The Deepwater Shipwrecks and Oil Spill Impact study provided an array of information to teachers and students covering diverse topics from how do folks in the southern tip of Louisiana build homes that survive flooding to what do microorganisms tell us about the impact of the oil spill and shipwrecks they thrive upon.  Getting the information out through multiple channels...

The United States' Bureau of Ocean Energy Managemnt (BOEM) will require comprehensive and integrated scientific information from the northern Alaska region's Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to improve regulatory decisions and environmental analyses that will be pertinent for allowing lease sales in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas to energy industry representatives.  BOEM is also manadated to mitigate the effects of its actions on submerged cultural resource materials.  By joining the National Ocean...

In the late-nineteenth century Maya refugees fleeing the violence of the Caste War of Yucatan (1847-1901) briefly reoccupied the ancient Maya ruins of Tikal.  Unlike the numerous Yucatec refugee communities established to the east in British Honduras, those who settled at Tikal combined with Lacandon Maya, and later Ladinos from Lake Petén Itza to form a small, multiethnic village in the sparsely occupied Petén jungle of northern Guatemala.  This paper discusses the analysis of the mass-produced...

Archaeological evidence for regional and inter-site landscape use during the antebellum period in Charleston, South Carolina, suggests that segregation and segmentation characterized much, but not all, of the city's economy.  Much of the city's architecture and material culture reflects economic disparity in an increasingly crowded urban environment.  Data from plantation, residential, commercial, public, and market sites reveal fluid and complex provisioning strategies that linked the city with...

Through faunal analysis of the remains of mammals, molluscs, fish and fowl found at the Dorchester Industrial School for Girls this report explores the dietary habits of staff and students, and connects the socioeconomic and cultural positionality of the girls, the School, and their food to the greater context of late 19th century Boston. We may interrogate specific social circumstances and their effect on daily meals, and in doing so draw useful comparisons between the activities of the port of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The timing of life-cycle stages in ancient populations has important implications for population dynamics and social identity; it may also serve as an indicator of broader health and social processes. This study of Woodland adolescents is the first assessment of pubertal development in precontact Native Americans and demonstrates that Shapland and Lewis’s...

Kathio National Historic Landmark, in east-central Minnesota, is an important place within the ancestral homeland of the Dakota Nation. Petaga Point (21ML11) is one of the contributing sites within the landmark, and excavations there in the 1960s were a primary source for the Woodland Tradition ceramic sequence of the Mille Lacs locality.

The greatest potential in supporting a person’s learning process is using evaluation and assessment.  There has been a lack of research into whether Public Archeology programming is currently effective at achieving the desired benefits. As increasing enrollments in educational programs continues, assessment tools to evaluate education policy and practice will become more vital to ensure quality education. Evaluation can answer questions about who is coming to programs (looters) and what they are...

Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have become integral pieces of technology in the lives of many individuals. This expanding presence of mobile technology demands the development of ways to interact with the public outside the traditional means of public archaeology. These technologies can offer opportunities to reach out to a different demographic than might normally be reached.  A younger, more tech-savvy generation can often be found tethered to their device of choice.  It seems...
