Underwater prehistoric archaeology has begun to flourish in recent years, and archaeologists can now take stock of the unique challenges and triumphs of this sub-discipline. Evolving beyond shipwrecks, underwater research today investigates major global changes in sea level and addresses some of the most important questions in prehistory. This evolution requires a new outlook on underwater archaeology in general, as well as new tools and approaches to investigate a broader range of questions....

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For over 15,000 years, dogs have been accorded varying social roles within human society. In view of this, the Canine Surrogacy Approach derives from observations that dogs often consume the same food as people and accompany humans during migration. Dogs are commonly granted similar burial customs, as well. I explore this proxy approach through the case study...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists working in west Phoenix discovered a complex of prehistoric Hohokam agricultural features consisting of a lateral canal and associated turnouts, sluice gates, field canals, and agricultural field cells in the southeastern portion of AZ T:12:206(ASM) (Site 206). The field cells appear to have dated mainly to the Sacaton phase (AD 950–1150)....

J. Whittaker: Detailed summaries of many sites, especially kill sites, including Paleoindian. Colby, Hanson, Agate Basin, Casper, Horner, Finley sites. Cultural chronology and projectile points. Photos Late Archaic (200-500 AD) atlatl and foreshafts from Spring Creek Cave. Comments on hunting and butchery with stone tools and bone expedient tools. Lots of experiments with stone points and foreshafts, but mostly with thrusting spears. [Atlatl experiments mentioned in passing, and he seems to feel...

J. Whittaker: Some of same material as 1978, but different book. Includes more info on atlatls and weapons, stone tool chapter by Bruce Bradley. [Quality of production is disgraceful - line drawings and text slightly murky, photos look like something printed in 1950s India.]

Lake Cahuilla is the archaeological representation of the modern Salton Sea and represents one of the largest rift lakes in the Western Hemisphere. Formed in the Salton Basin by western-trending Colorado River runoff, in-fillings and outflows from the Colorado to the Lake and thence into the Gulf of California were episodic yet constrained by the vast Colorado River Delta. Because modern agricultural development has buried many of the ancient shorelines, the Lake’s Holocene oscillation history...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Dogs have been human companions for at least 15,000 years (Morey 2010), with some of the earliest remains recovered in North America from Danger Cave, Utah (Schwartz 1997). How the relationship has been and is now defined, however, varies culturally and temporally. This research explores the complexity of our relationship with dogs in an intermediate space...

More than 20 years ago Margaret Lyneis published a thorough review of the Virgin Anasazi, summarizing what was known at the time about chronology, settlement, subsistence, spatial aggregation, exchange, and other topics. Her summary raised a number of key issues needing resolution. Among these was the nature of aggregation in the Plateau area of the Virgin Anasazi. She noted, despite evidence from other places in the Southwest of increasing residential aggregation in PII, there seemed to be...

The Hermitage assemblage is a treasure trove of 19th-century material culture.  However, DAACS analyses have revealed that, in addition to hundreds of thousands of 19th century artifacts, over 23,500 fragments of lithic debitage, projectile points, and tools were unearthed from the plantation complex.  This paper examines this lithic assemblage and evaluates whether its presence and distribution is the result of prehistoric Native Americans’ activities at the site or production/curation by the...

This is an abstract from the "Old Technology, New Methodology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations between 2019 and 2022 at San Esteban Rockshelter (41PS20) in the Big Bend region of West Texas have generated a robust archaeological assemblage. San Esteban can inform on Holocene and, potentially, terminal Pleistocene human behavior in the relatively understudied Big Bend region. By employing Baka’s technological investment index and...

      Recent archaeological investigations at the 17th century John Hollister Site in Glastonbury, Connecticut resulted in the recovery of thousands of extraordinarily well-preserved faunal remains.  The diverse assemblage, which includes mammals, birds, fish, and shellfish, was recovered from three large, filled cellar contexts. The food remains provide an unprecedented look at the foodways, animal husbandry strategies, and food procurement activities of Connecticut’s earliest settlers, and...

Throughout history, ocean-going watercraft have been the primary vehicle for global trade, colonization and exploration. Constant wear on ship’s hulls over time, coupled with damage from marine fouling organisms prompted sailors and shipwrights to develop a diverse range of methods and materials to protect their vessels from harm. Nautical sheathing refers to the exterior covering of a ship’s hull with a thin layer of metal or wood to protect the vessel from marine life fouling, and to stabilize...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. An ongoing cultural resource inventory on White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico identified over 100 prehistoric and multicomponent sites in the valley bottom of the Tularosa Basin, greatly exceeding the anticipated number of prehistoric resources for the approximately 4,300-acre study area. In an effort to elucidate a better understanding of the...

From June to September 2014, the remains of a previous unknown shipwreck emerged from the sands of Coffins Beach. Named for the Coffin family and not a funerary item, it is a north facing barrier beach, Gloucester, Massachusetts.  Initial field investigation revealed a much older vessel.  Detailed documentary research identified up to 80 shipwrecks occurring in the vicinity since 1635; two thirds occurring prior to 1860, chiefly described as shallops, sloops, and early schooners.  The extant...

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...

Poydras College was Catholic boys’ boarding school located off of False River near New Roads, Louisiana.  The school was in operation from 1836-1861 with sparse openings during the Civil War before the main building was destroyed by fire in 1881.  This presentation will discuss the historical significance of the college as well as the archaeological methods and the historical research aimed at locating the main building and attempting to place the site in the broader context of early efforts in...

The Nathaniel Clark pottery was established at Marietta, Ohio, in 1808 and is thus one of the first such operations in the region.  Excavations initiated in 2013 have encountered well-preserved features, and have produced a useful sample of product and production debris over three field seasons.  Concurrent documentary research is also providing details on the personal and business contexts of the Clark pottery.  The location of this manufactory at a major regional hub provides insight regarding...
