From Local Cemeteries to the Global Circulation of Social Imaginaries: Changing Forms of and Forums for Solidarity in Chinese Diaspora Communities, 1850-1960 (2013)
Along with large-scale trade and migration, 19th and early 20th century globalization was marked by the circulation, transformation, and global integration of social imaginaries, and the resulting development of structures that would ultimately channel and constrict further movements. The expansion of Chinese diaspora communities across the Pacific and into the Americas was one of the major population movements of this period. The networks that made it possible for individuals to participate in...
From Manual to Digital Cataloguing: The The New Street Study, Jamaica (2015)
The Jamaica National Heritage Trust curates archaeological assemblages from excavations conducted in Jamaica over the past 50 years. Until recently, the artifact and context inventories were created on paper. In May 2014 DAACS trained staff from the Jamaica National Heritage Trust in the digitization of the inventory process using the DAACS Research Consortium web-accessible database application. The New Street Collection from Port Royal was chosen as the Trust’s case study site. This DRC...
From Margin to Center: Bias and Discrimination in Archaeology (2019)
This is an abstract from the "What Have You Done For Us Lately?: Discrimination, Harassment, and Chilly Climate in Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. That archaeology is welcoming to only a narrow subset of society -- that is, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied, white men -- and far less so to most of us is an open secret. #MeToo stories; the blinding whiteness of the academy, the field, and the museum; and the prohibitive costs of many...
From Medieval Wool Tunics to Bone Powder: Rapid Degradation of Norse Middens in Southwest Greenland (2018)
This presentation is one of the products of a series of ongoing inter-connected, international, interdisciplinary fieldwork projects coordinated by the North Atlantic Biocultural Organization (NABO) research cooperative since 2005 in Greenland. The projects drew upon more than a century of prior field research, where four generations of archaeologists described and assessed organic preservation conditions at their sites in several regions of the Norse Eastern Settlement. This created a unique...
From Quincy Market In Boston To St. Ann's Market In Montréal: The Architectural Genesis Of Montréal’s First Covered Market (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1832, a few years after Quincy Market was built, Montréal erected its first covered market, inspired by the architecture of its Boston counterpart. The market, Montréal’s largest public building at the time, housed the Parliament of the United Province of Canada starting in 1844, but burned down in 1849. From 2010 to 2017, Pointe-à-Callière, the Montréal Archaeology and History...

A Fur Trade Era Ice House in Edmonton, Alberta (2015)
Archaeological site FjPi-63 is located in Edmonton, Alberta, on the North Saskatchewan River. Studies have been undertaken at the site since the late 1970’s, including historic resource impact assessments, archaeological excavations and construction monitoring. These studies have revealed evidence of both fur-trading establishments at the site as well as a First Nations component at least 6000 years old. Excavations undertaken by AMEC in 2012 and 2013 revealed portions of structural remains from...
A Future for Archaeological Collections from Federal Policy Perspectives (2024)
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. Federal archaeological collections acquisition and management practices are guided by decades-old law and policy, intended to uphold aspirational and perhaps unachievable expectations for preserving our nation’s heritage. The resulting “curation crises,” or, rather, the system that has become the...

Galápagos Sugar Empire: The Mechanization of the El Progreso Plantation, 1880-1917 (2016)
From 1880 to 1917 the "El Progreso" sugar plantation operated on San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos, using steam-driven mechanized sugar processing. Despite its remote location, this large operation took advantage of the latest industrial technology. Machinery was imported from factories in Scotland and the United States, and a number of specialized machines were used in sugar processing and alcohol production. After the death of the plantation owner at the hands of his workers in 1904, the...
Gamble across the Rio Grande: Industrial Archaeology of the Aerial Ore Tramway in the Big Bend (2021)
This is an abstract from the "The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the 1900s a group of adventurous entrepreneurs resumed mining activities that had been abandoned a decade prior in the Big Bend region. The idea this time was to utilize new mining technologies. Overcoming long distances, rugged terrain, and international and cultural borders, an expensive and new mineral transport system known as an aerial...

This is an abstract from the "Leveling Up: Gaming and Game Design in Archaeological Education and Outreach" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2023, the first study of its kind by the Video Game History Foundation determined that 87% of video games made before 2010 are critically endangered. What was once considered a fun but silly form of entertainment has grown into a multibillion-dollar global industry spawning competitive scholastic and...
Gathering and Growing from Past to Present: Building Future Foodways and Indigenous Landscapes in Turtle Island (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Cultivating Food, Land, and Communities" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. How can archaeological data contribute to Indigenous food sovereignty efforts and biocultural restoration of Indigenous landscapes? We present two projects from northern Turtle Island from vastly different ecologies (Saskatchewan and Ontario), where paleoethnobotanical research has been effective for connecting archaeologists, Indigenous scholars,...
Gendered Cooperation and Competition: A Multivariate Statistical Analysis of Floor Activity Patterns in Housepit 54 (2017)
Housepit 54 at the Bridge River site, British Columbia provides a unique look at the evolution of interpersonal dynamics within a single household over time. The sequence of 17 floors evinces a wide-range of activity patterns and spatial configurations reflecting performed labor. Current theories of intra-household dynamics posit that cooperative, complimentary work should underlie individual social interactions within a single household. However from late Bridge River 2 (ca. 1300-1500 cal BP)...
Genes, Culture, and the Archaeological Record (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Human Origins: Archaeological Perspectives" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As archaeology increasingly turns to explanatory models of cultural evolution based on a Darwinian perspective, three processes—dual inheritance, cultural transmission, and, more recently, niche construction—have assumed prominent positions. Until the early 1980s, the behavioral sciences tended to draw a...
Genome Sequencing of Ancient Dogs in the Americas to Understand Their Demographic History (2018)
Several ancient DNA studies have been conducted on dogs in the Americas, yet all have focused on the mitochondrial genome. In this study, we sequenced 79 complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) and seven nuclear genomes of ancient dogs from more than twenty archaeological sites, ranging in age from 10,000 to 800 years before present (ybp) to gain insight into the population history of dogs in the Americas. We compared the ancient dogs’ mitogenomes and nuclear genomes to those of modern dogs...
Geoarchaeological Approach to Resolving the Origins of Bison Bone Beds at Bonfire Shelter, 41VV218, Val Verde County, Texas (2024)
This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Eagle Nest Canyon, Texas: Papers in Honor of Jack and Wilmuth Skiles" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Bonfire Shelter is a large prehistoric rockshelter site situated at the northern end of Mile Canyon in southwest Texas. Early investigators determined the site to be the location of multiple bison jump events; however subsequent investigations have disputed this interpretation. My research focuses on...
Geoarchaeological Coring: Determining Where Intact Buried Archaeological Sites Should Be and Shouldn’t Be (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For decades, archaeologists have used coring for subsurface testing and paleolandscape reconstruction, but only sporadically. Non-invasive and efficient, core extraction produces intact stratigraphic columns collected in clear plastic tubes that can be brought back to the lab for analysis. Unlike shovel testing and backhoe trenching, coring has no depth...
Geochemical Analysis of Baezaeko River and Baker Creek Dacite (2017)
Lithic artifacts produced from fine-grained volcanic (FGV) tool stone material, such as dacite, dominate archaeological assemblages from the Interior Plateau of British Columbia. While this heavy reliance on locally or regionally available FGV has been previously well documented, subsequent geochemical analysis has predominately focused on material from well-known procurement sites or sources located within the central and southern portions of the Interior Plateau. In this paper, we present the...
