This is an abstract from the "Dancing through Iconographic Corpora: A Symposium in Honor of F. Kent Reilly III" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. North American and Mesoamerican material cultures exhibit similarities that were mistakenly seen by early diffusionists as evidence for northward migrations that catalyzed social complexity among Mississippian period (AD 1050–1500) cultures. Iconographically, assemblages from both geographic areas highlight...

This is an abstract from the "Frontier and Settlement Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Not long ago, our "historical" narratives concerning 17th and 18th-century southeastern Indian communities read like colonial maps with neatly depicted "Tribal" territories and towns. Like those maps, the narratives presented a timeless "history" for groups whose identities were rooted to specific locations. This paper traces a shift in our...

  This project examines foodways and practices related to ceramic use on the Eastern Pequot reservation in North Stonington, Connecticut. Analysis of ceramic assemblages from three sites from different time periods focusing on ware type, vessel form, and decoration has informed how the Eastern Pequot negotiated these markets and utilized ceramics. Engagement with the local Euro-American markets by New England’s Native peoples was necessary during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, but how...

The Clifton site , located on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, was the settlement site for the Cliff Mine, the first profitable copper mine in Michigan. Operating throughout the 1850s and 60s, the town of Clifton began to disappear around 1871 when the Boston and Pittsburgh mining company ceased operations and began to lease out the land to individual prospectors. The Industrial Archaeology program at Michigan Technological University has been performing field work at the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Robert Davidson's Holly Bend, an early 19th century plantation located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, was documented in the 1850 Mecklenburg County census as having 109 slaves. The plantation continues to be the focus of excavations and research projects over the past several years. Each year, excavation during these projects produce numerous...

Swift Creek Complicated Stamped pottery from the lower Southeastern U.S. is a premier material for the systematic study of Woodland period social interactions. Petrographic analysis of Swift Creek pottery was undertaken as part of a research program that integrated materials analyses of pottery, including Neutron Activation Analysis, digital imaging of paddle stamp designs, technological analysis, and absolute dating, to identify patterns of social interaction. Over 200 samples have been thin...

The fragments of unglazed red earthenware vessels used in the production of sugar and  identified as ceramic sugarwares, were frequently used by plantations for processing and curing sugar and collecting molasses, and were a common sight on Barbadian plantations from the seventeenth into the late nineteenth centuries.  The local production of these wares occurred in potteries operated by plantations along the east coast of Barbados. Planters managed these potteries while the workers themselves...

Ceramic research continues to be a mainstay of historical archaeology endeavors.  In spite of years of the so-called quantitative approaches to ceramic analyses including mean dating, South’s pattern analysis, and most recently the DAACS’s  recording methodology, the basics of identifying specific potters and their products is alive and well.  Writing the story of American ceramics is a regional undertaking.  It requires historical research, excavation, material science, study of antique...

For travelers on El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the 1,600 mile trail connecting Mexico City to Santa Fe, the Paraje San Diego (LA 6346) in southern New Mexico is a significant campsite connecting the trail to the Rio Grande before it diverges into the waterless Jornada del Muerto to the north.  Past analysis of ceramics from the site revealed broad patterns in directional trade and chronology of the Camino Real; recent field data, including point-plotted ceramics recovered from the site,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Alkali Ridge Site 13 is a large ancestral Pueblo village in southeastern Utah dating to the late A.D. 700s. Ceramics from the site consist almost entirely of small gray ware jars and decorated red ware vessels in a variety of forms. Extensive excavations by Harvard at the site in the 1930s recovered more than 100 whole or reconstructible vessels, which...

Excavation of the Pethick Site in Schoharie County, New York first began in the summer of 2004 with a field school organized by the New York State Museum Cultural Research Survey Program and the University at Albany. The resulting research has largely been dominated by the study of prehistoric ceramics and stone tools. Like the Native Americans, early European settlers in the Schoharie Valley were draw to the Pethick Site’s proximity to the Schoharie Creek, which is one of the major tributaries...

The Island of Isla Colon in the western Caribbean archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama has long been a place of trade and exchange. In the period shortly before Old World contact, different native groups visited the region producing an array of material evidence. Regionally diverse ceramics found on the island demonstrate a plethora of styles and traditions from both northern and southern regions during this ancient period. The practice of ceramic diversity on Isla Colon continued well into the...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Contact and Colonialism" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The spatial turn in the humanities is sending archaeologists and their Native colleagues back into the documentary, oral history, and archaeological records to tease out elements of the indigenous cultural landscape – in the deep past, in the colonial past, and in the present. Ceremonial landscapes are an important part of the indigenous...
