How it Started vs. How it’s Going: The First Year of a Cultural Compliance Rule for New Mexico Trust Land (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ethan Ortega. Rachael Lorenzo. Anne Curry. Carlyn Stewart. Adesbah Foguth.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The New Mexico State Land Office implemented a new Cultural Properties Protection (CPP) Rule on December 1, 2022. This statute mandated changes to a decades-long culture of “you break it, you buy it” regarding damage to cultural properties caused by extractive industry in the state. Implementation resulted in the identification and protection of hundreds...


How Long Did It Take to Paint Ancestral Pueblo Pottery? (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Van Keuren.

One of the basic goals of ceramic analysis is to reconstruct the manufacturing process. The sequence of production may be easy to infer but the duration of each step is elusive. For instance, archaeologists have yet to devise a method for estimating how long potters spent painting vessels. In the American Southwest, Ancestral Pueblo potters seem to have invested considerable time in these pursuits. Drawing on ethnoarchaeological scholarship, Pueblo ethnographies, and experimental archaeology, I...

The LAMAR Institute’s work on these projects in Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina encompassed Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, and other conflict archaeology sites.

How Many Turkeys Did It Take to Make a Blanket? (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only William Lipe. Shannon Tushingham. Eric Blinman. Chuck LaRue. Laurie Webster.

This is an abstract from the "Current Research on Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Domestication, Husbandry and Management in North America and Beyond" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For a thousand years, turkey feather blankets were a standard part of Ancestral Pueblo material culture in the Central Mesa Verde (CMV) area. Investigating the "supply side" of blanket-making includes comparing the number of feathers needed for a blanket with the number...


How Much Force Does It Take to Break a Flaked Stone Tool? (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alyssa Perrone. Metin Eren.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Endscrapers are a common flaked stone tool found at Late Pleistocene sites around the world. Microwear evidence has demonstrated that these implements are predominantly used for hide-scraping. However, these small, round, often bullet-like specimens are also found broken. Here, using controlled and actualistic experiments we explore the forces necessary to...

How Revolutionary is Chinese Diaspora Archaeology? (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Douglas Ross.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In this opening paper, I set the stage for the presentations and discussions that follow by examining the ways archaeologists of the Chinese diaspora have explored the topic of “revolution,” as defined in the conference theme. I draw on recently published literature and on an imminently forthcoming...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Shelton.

This is an abstract from the "Site Stewardship Matters: Comparing and Contrasting Site Stewardship Programs to Advance Our Practice" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although there are many professional organizations practicing cultural heritage preservation, there is a group of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to protect their cultural heritage in Texas. For over 38 years, the Texas Archeological Stewardship Network has assisted the Texas...


How the Chinese Built Yosemite (And Nobody Knows About It) (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara Bane.

Many of the nineteenth century roads that enabled Yosemite National Park to become a national treasure – Wawona Road, Glacier Point Road, Great Sierra Wagon Road, and the Washburn Road to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias ‒ were built by Chinese workers. Chinese cooks, servants, hotel employees, and farm/ranch hands contributed to the park’s tourist services into the early 20th century. Today, few traces of this Chinese presence remain: stone walls, roadbeds, bridges, and a handful of...

How These Pots Can Talk: Relevancy and Purpose of Archaeology in the Slave Wrecks Project. (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michelle Gray. Meredith Hardy.

Underneath the well-manicured landscape of Christiansted National Historic Site stood the center of Danish Caribbean commerce, the Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse.

The goal of this...

How to Reduce the Boxes in your Laboratory and Produce Good Research: Archaeobotanical Analyses and Rehabilitated Collections (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only William A. Farley.

We have all heard the adage that "one hour in the field equals ten in the lab".  It is proof of this saying that nearly every archaeological laboratory boasts an impressive collection of meticulously collected soil samples. Nearly every complex archaeological excavation has the potential to yield hundreds or even thousands of liters of carefully collected sediment, despite the excavator’s knowledge that the mass majority will never be analyzed. Archaeobotanists can find great research value in...
