In 1845 industrialist William Gregg incorporated the Graniteville Manufacturing Company. Located in Edgefield District’s Horse Creek Valley, Gregg’s model community centered on a textile mill built of local blue granite. The mill grounds contained extensive lawn gardens, trimmed gravel sidewalks, and spouting water fountains. The community included two churches, academy, hotel, stores, boarding-houses, and cottages. All buildings were constructed from local pine in the Gothic Revival style....

With its strong symbolic reference to moisture and clouds, cotton has long been considered a precious textile fiber in the Americas. Adopted from Mexico as a tropical crop, it was well-established in the Salt-Gila drainage by 500 A.D., and by 1000-1100 A.D. it was adapted to the wetter microenvironments of the Colorado Plateau. Because cotton could not be grown everywhere, it became a prized element of trade and craft specialization. In this paper I examine the agricultural intensification,...

Early 20th-century southeastern farmers with the means to do so diversified and adopted the materials and methods of farm modernization. Poorer families grew cash crops almost exclusively, detrimental to their garden spaces and their wellbeing. Archaeologists have measured modernization, in part, through the presence of glass storageware. However, the act of storing gardened and gathered foods did not necessarily require modern materials or methods. Materials changed through time, but in many...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper we argue that Cottonwood Spring Pueblo was a multiethnic community similar to many other 14th century village clusters in greater Pueblo World. Cottonwood Spring Pueblo (LA 175) consists of multiple pueblos and features grouped into Areas A-F along Cottonwood Wash on the western flanks of the San Andres Mountains. Variation in...

Exploring connections between critical race theory (CRT) and community-based participatory research (CBPR), the methodology outlined in this paper examines how archaeology can be both transformative and empowering through its involvement in civic engagement, critical pedagogy, and social activism. The paper examines various ways in which CRT can broaden our conception of materiality, accountability, inclusion, and collaboration through an analysis of systemic inequality and its varied effects on...

Historic archaeology is uniquely positioned to provide a fuller understanding of the Japanese diaspora in the United States, and also allows the recordation of methods employed by nearly 120,000 forcibly relocated Japanese Americans to modify and adapt to their newfound surroundings. Using archaeological survey, excavation, oral history data and historic documents, research at the Granada Relocation Center, in southeast Colorado, has provided insight to identity maintenance strategies. Recent...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Capitalism’s Cracks" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Using a methodology developed within Capitalism’s cracks I weave together the past, present and future realties of Washington D.C.’s street homeless communities. The mutual aid developed within these communities has proven to reproduce alternative social relations. Appropriating, rather then consuming, the waste spaces and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Large pit structures are present at several ancestral O'odham villages in the Salt and Gila River Valleys. Although morphologically similar, they are up to 5 or more times larger than contemporaneous Hohokam Preclassic domestic structures. Targeted excavation of several such structures and surrounding features suggests patterns in their locations within...

This is an abstract from the ""We Especially Love the Land We Live On": Documenting Native American Traditional Cultural Properties of the Historic Period" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Cornplanter Grant was the first TCP nominated in Pennsylvania.  The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania issued the Grant to Chief Cornplanter of the Senecas in the 1790s, but the lands had been occupied back into the Paleoindian times.  The nomination was...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Apprenticeship systems are essential to the development of craft specialization, yet archaeologists have only recently begun to advance general models of these systems in addition to measurements of skill. This presentation will use a blacksmith shop at the Chittenango site located in upstate New York as a case study. Developing criteria for the measurement of skill was key in...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In January of 1943, a B-24D heavy bomber on a training run crashed near Basset Peak in the south end of the Galiuro Mountains, killing all eleven men on board. The Galiuro Mountains are located in southeastern Arizona, with much of the range being preserved within the Galiuros Wilderness Area of Coronado National Forest. Due to the remote location, much of its...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mapping Crossroads: Archaeological and High Resolution Documentation of Nuclear Test Submerged Cultural Resources at Bikini Atoll" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. An expedition to Bikini Atoll conducted the first comprehensive sonar survey of the target area from Operation Crossroads that detonated two nuclear weapons against a moored fleet of warships. In addition to documenting the 12 shipwrecks sunk by...

During the 2015 and 2016 University of Texas at San Antonio Field Schools we made use of new low-cost photogrammetry techniques to document metates and rock ring features at Early Agricultural period sites along the Upper Gila River in southeastern Arizona. We systematically photographed a number of ground stone tools and rock ring features using point-and-shoot cameras. These photos were then processed using Agisoft’s Photoscan software to produce colored 3D computer renders of the artifacts...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Military Sites Archaeology in the Caribbean: Studies of Colonialism, Globalization, and Multicultural Communities" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Brimstone Hill Fortress (1690-1854) on the northwest coast of St. Kitts constitutes a militarized landscape that protected the harbor at Sandy Point, provided covering fire for nearby Charles Fort, afforded refuge for the island’s inhabitants, and suppressed...

Recent construction of affordable housing in Fremont provided the funding and staffing to excavate a significant archaeological site associated with Mission San Jose. When preservation is not possible, careful consideration of creative outreach becomes more critical. To fully realize the research and interpretive potential of this important resource, many voices and long periods of study are needed. Researchers from a CRM firm, three university campuses, and representatives from a descendant...

The Museum of the City of New York and Landmarks Preservation Commission partnered in 2013 to develop an inventory of archaeological artifacts owned by the City of New York. At the Museum, we have developed a database that maintains the hierarchy of Projects, Contexts and Artifacts within each archaeological project, while also allowing users to search at the individual artifact level. Artifact level searches allow comparison across all sites within the City’s holdings – opening up new research...

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. While the Chiricahua Mountains are a part of the Sky Islands, Fort Bowie NHS and Chiricahua NM are not islands unto themselves--their rich archaeological past exists within the broader context of the landscape. In an area that has received little study compared to the rest of the American Southwest, it...

Community-based public archaeology projects seek to reclaim aspects of the past while addressing the needs and concerns of local communities. Sometimes this work places archaeologists in a position where we are forced to tack between the desire to conduct original research and the need to simultaneously navigate complex economic, social, and political constructs. All of this takes place in spaces, geographic, systemic, and paradigmatic, that both constrain and enable archaeological research. The...
