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...

A Century of Ceramics: A Study of Household Practice on the Eastern Pequot Reservation (2018)
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...
A Ceramic Analysis of a 19th Century Michigan Boarding House (2015)
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...

Ceramic Distribution within the Upper Gila Region (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Mogollon, Mimbres, and Salado Archaeology in Southwest New Mexico and Beyond" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ceramic creation and distribution within the Upper Gila region allows us to better understand trade and migration of early southwestern Indigenous peoples. Collections of various ceramic types leave us with more questions than answers, such as who made them? Where did they come from? And what led many of the...
Ceramic Evidence of Complex Social Boundaries in Central New Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the American Southwest, regional sub-divisions in the archaeological record have been defined using linguistic evidence, similarity of artifact assemblages, and ceramic technology and/or styles. In central New Mexico, H. P. Mera’s ceramic sub-divisions from the 1930s are still helpful in understanding some issues of social and political boundaries during...
Ceramic Exchange and Community Organization of Middle Woodland Period Hopewell Groups in the Scioto Valley, Ohio (2021)

The results of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and electron microprobe analysis (EMA) are discussed as they relate to the interaction and influence...
Ceramic from the Early Components at Nancy Patterson Village (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Nancy Patterson Village (42SA2110) is a large Ancestral Pueblo site in southeastern Utah.

Brigham Young University excavated at the site from 1983 through 1986,...
Ceramic Petrography as a Service for CRM Firms and Beyond (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Science Outside the Ivory Tower: Perspectives from CRM" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ceramic petrography is best known as a highly specialized skill employed by certain ceramic researchers within academic institutions. The results of this method are utilized to understand the broader culture that produced the pottery studied. However, both the technique and the holistic interpretation of the data are...
Ceramic Production on Barbados Plantations: Seasonality Explored (2016)
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 is Alive and Well (2016)
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...
Ceramic Resource Selection and Social Violence in the Gallina Area of the American Southwest (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This research examines the relationship between social violence and ceramic resource procurement. Do people in middle-range societies alter resource use in response to conflict? Specifically, does social strife influence the distance to which potters in middle-range societies will travel to collect ceramic resources? Distance and quality are primary elements...
Ceramic Spatial Patterning at Paraje San Diego on El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, New Mexico (2018)
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,...

Ceramics and the Study of Ethnicity: A Case Study from Schoharie County, New York (2016)
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...
Ceramics, Foodways, and Identity in Bocas del Toro, Panama (2017)
The Island of Isla Colon in the western Caribbean archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama has long been a place of trade and exchange.

Ceremonial Landscapes in the Middle Chesapeake (2019)
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...
