Integrating Archaeology and Environmental Education to Strengthen a Place-Based Curriculum (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth Reetz.

The practice of archaeology involves studying human adaptation to the natural world by using the environment as a vehicle for the development of knowledge. Archaeology education has strong parallels and intersections with the well-established field of Environmental Education (EE); yet, it is both widely acknowledged that cultural history is one of the weaker components of EE, and many archaeology educators are likewise unfamiliar with EE. In 2016, archaeologists from University of Iowa Office of...

Integrating Isotopic and Paleopathological Perspectives on Prehistoric Turkey Management at Turkey Creek Pueblo (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amanda Semanko. Martin Welker. Frank Ramos.

This is an abstract from the "Isotopic and Animal aDNA Analyses in the Southwest/Northwest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Prehistoric inhabitants of the American Southwest and Mexican Northwest utilized domestic and wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) for food, feathers, and ceremonial purposes. Existing archaeological studies on turkey domestication and management emphasize isotopic and genetic data, typically focusing on assemblages from the...

Integrating Material Culture from the Betty’s Hope Archaeological Project: a Multifaceted Approach (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Georgia Fox.

This paper examines how archaeological investigations at Betty’s Hope, a former English sugar plantation on the Caribbean island of Antigua, can encompass a variety of approaches in working with archaeological materials recovered from the site, as well as the site itself. Betty’s Hope operated from 1651 until 1944, making it one of the oldest and most continuously operating plantations on the island. Its long history, combined with good preservation, provides an ideal laboratory for studying...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Bernard Means. Dennis Knepper. G. William Monoghan.

This project identified practical methods to measure impacts of military training activities on archaeological resources on DoD installations with the goal of sustaining these activities while complying with cultural resources stewardship responsibilities.

Integrating pollen and macrobotanical evidence to understand change in African-American lifeways at Monticello (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Beatrix Arendt. Stephanie Hacker. John G. Jones.

The transition from tobacco to wheat cultivation in the late-18th century at Monticello radically altered agricultural ecology, as swidden plots gave way to permanent fields. We use macrobotanical remains and pollen as complementary evidence to assess how this shift affected plants use strategies employed by enslaved field hands and the botanical environments they maintained adjacent to their houses. The identified shift in pollen taxa does not match the pattern we previously identified for...

Integrating Site Formation Processes, Spatial Analysis, and Local Statistics to Assess Archaeological Site Structure: A Case Study from a Multicomponent Site in the Western Great Lakes (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer Haas.

This paper presents a method to delineate discrete temporal occupations at open-air multicomponent sites by integrating site formation processes, spatial analysis, and local statistics. Open-air multi-component sites, formed on stable surfaces but lacking strong vertical integrity, pose many challenges for the delineation and interpretation of temporally discrete occupations. Such sites often lack vertical stratigraphy, so defining the horizontal spatial structure of components represents a...

Integrating Teacher Professional Development with Archaeological Summer Camps (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sheli O. Smith. Calvin Mires.

The sheer joy of being a kid at an archaeological summer camp is not lost on adults. In fact, by involving teachers in summer camp and other investigations, in a "kid" role, allows them to experience the wonder of hands-on discovery. Add in some additional professional development and you create empowered teachers who infuses their lesson plans with engagement, rich content, authenticity, and relevancy. In recent years the PAST summer field teams introduced this new type of teacher professional...

Intellectual "Treasure Hunting:" Measuring Effects of Treasure Salvors on Spanish Colonial Shipwreck Sites (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Price.

This poster presents research on the effects of treasure salvors on Spanish colonial shipwrecks in Florida. Currently, there is no basis for quantifying treasure salvor impacts on Spanish colonial shipwrecks. The Pillar Dollar wreck in Biscayne Bay and three vessels from the 1733 Spanish plate fleet serve as case studies for this research. The poster addresses the following questions: 1. What can the academic investigation of the treasure salvor industry reveal about what is lost or gained...

Intemperate Men: Alcohol and Autonomy Within the Lumber Camps of Michigan's Upper Peninsula (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tyler D. Allen.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Industrial capital often instilled discipline through control of social behaviors. Alcohol consumption was most often targeted due to its effects on worker productivity. Although many late 19th and early 20th century corporations had strict alcohol policies, the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company (CCI) never enforced sobriety within their lumber camps. CCI took a hands off approach to...
