This is an abstract from the "Why Platform Mounds? Part 2: Regional Comparisons and Tribal Histories" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Hohokam platform mounds (as well as ball courts and earthen "trash" mounds) are forms of monumental architecture requiring the expenditure of labor for purposes not related to shelter and subsistence. Selectionist theory predicts that economically unessential behavior (wasteful spending, superfluous activity) used...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Gila River Indian Community Cultural Resource Management Program completed extensive data recovery at Lower Santan Village with more than 2,500 cultural features investigated at this prehistoric Hohokam settlement. The village is located on the north side of the middle Gila River, along the southwestern flank of the Santan Mountain bajada. The village...

This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Research by PaleoWest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This poster presents the results of three recent PaleoWest data recovery projects at small habitation sites and agricultural areas surrounding AZ T:7:68(ASM)/Palo Verde Ruin, one of the primary northern-periphery Hohokam sites along the New River. Previous work at the Palo Verde site had demonstrated a pattern of multiple small sites during...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Phoenix Basin Hohokam are celebrated for the construction of massive and elaborate canal systems fed by perennial waterways, principally the Salt and Gila rivers. In desert areas, however, along the many ephemeral drainages that crisscross the region, rainfall-harvesting and water-storage technologies largely overshadowed canal irrigation. These...

In April 2016, members and volunteers with The Virginia Maritime Heritage Society, Alexandria Archaeology, as well as Underwater Archaeology Branch of Navy History and Heritage Command documented 141 treenails, and 67 iron fastenings to further study of the 18th century Alexandria Ship.  Archaeology staff and volunteers collected sample data from fastenings present on the surviving timbers to allow for a unique look at the life of this ship before its purposeful deconstruction.  The fastenings...

The economization of lithic raw materials for Late Prehistoric groups in the Midwestern United States has long been the subject of research. This research has often focused on explaining aspects of either technological or subsistence changes, such as the shift to agriculture (e.g., Bamforth 1989; Cobb 2000; Emerson, et al. 2000; Emerson and Titelbaum 2000; Jeske 1990, 2000). This project uses the underlying framework of economization used by these lithic studies and applies it to faunal...

Robert Davidson built Holly Bend (sometimes called Hollywood in the 20th century) between 1795 and 1800 on 420 acres that his father, Major John Davidson (early settler and Revolutionary War participant from Mecklenburg County), gave him in 1795. The house, which was built in a bend of the Catawba River and is reputed to have been named for the holly trees that grow in great abundance in the area, was completed before Robert married Margaret Osborne on January 1, 1801. Robert Davidson,...

During the 2010 and 2013 field seasons, Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists excavated the remains of the sites first substantial church (1608 – 1617) and the remains of four individuals buried within the chancel. The dimensions and location of this "pretty chapel" as noted by secretary of the colony William Strachey matched the post-in-ground structure found by Rediscovery archaeologists in 2010. Additionally, the location of the building closely aligns with a cross-like symbol drawn on a ca....

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. WWII was a time of significant cultural upheaval in the United States. America’s participation in the war produced substantial changes to gender roles, consumer behavior, advertising, labor, children’s activities, and entertainment, and saw a swell in expressions of nationalism and patriotism. By analyzing a collection of WWII-era artifacts that includes...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Seminole Wars of the nineteenth century were critically important in establishing the modern Tribal identity of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the consequences of the conflict reverberate throughout the community today. Yet relatively little archaeological work has been done to study the small military engagements that characterized the Third Seminole War (1855-1858) in south...

In 2014, the Public Archaeology Laboratory conducted archaeological excavations at the former House of the Good Shepherd orphanage in Tomkins Cove, New York. Over 4,000 domestic and structural artifacts were found at the site, offering glimpses into its nineteenth-century orphanage history as well as its use as a Fresh Air Association summer retreat during the twentieth century. Although small, the nineteenth-century artifact assemblage reflects the life of the orphans who lived there. Current...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Coronado National Memorial in the Huachuca Mountains is best known as a possible entry point into the American Southwest by Spanish conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado. While Coronado’s historic presence remains a mystery, this small park on the border of Mexico has a rich prehispanic archaeological heritage ranging from Early to Late Archaic period....

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. Historical archaeologists often interpret artifacts through the lens of household and family as the location for the development of practice and identity. Economic uncertainty for working-class households in historic urban contexts, however, meant that some families moved as many as...

Lithic archaeology includes projectile point chronology, knapping discussion featuring work of Ray Alt, Bonnichsen. Shoshone legend of how coyote stole knapping knowledge from wolf. Experiments with bow (Alt) and atlatl leave them skeptical of ability to distinguish points by size, and of penetrating ability of atlatl dart. [Stories about effectiveness of bow and arrow, and...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Roads, Rivers, Rails and Trails (and more): The Archaeology of Linear Historic Properties" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Homestake Aqueduct (39LA2057) in Lawrence County, South Dakota is a pipeline constructed by the Homestake Mining Company to transfer water from Spearfish Creek to the mines and mills of the Lead-Deadwood area. This predominately subterranean system was likely started in 1879 and...

Beginning in the 1880s, Hispanic- and Euro-American homesteaders expanded onto the Pajarito Plateau in northern New Mexico. While journals and documentary accounts from visitors and descendants provide insight into the everyday livelihood of these farmers and ranchers, few studies have investigated their shared experience based on examination of physical remains. In this zooarchaeological analysis we identify and quantify the animal remains from several homesteader cabin sites at Los Alamos...

Brothel madams were often responsible for managing their establishments and the women who lived and worked in them. Unsurprisingly, "female boarding houses," the euphemism often used for such sites on historic maps, have typically been gendered as female spaces. On the other hand, saloons tend to be thought of as male spaces despite the presence of prostitution in most of these businesses. This paper will begin to argue that a rethinking of space and gender in regards to brothels will provide...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Identification and interpretation of buried cultural deposits in alluvial settings is improved by an integrated approach that considers the area at an appropriate scale in line with prehistoric land use; applies key underlying concepts; and utilizes multiple methodologies of subsurface investigation, laboratory analysis, and environmental modeling. Success at...
