Identifying Submerged Sites in Ohio’s Far Northeast Corner, or, Where’s Ashtabula? (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kendra A. Kennedy. Linda L. Pansing.

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Ohio’s maritime heritage is fairly underrepresented in documentation at the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office, with an even greater dearth of information about submerged cultural resources in northeastern Ohio. When Hurricane Sandy funds became available for Ashtabula County, the Ohio History Connection...


Identifying Subterranean Storage Features: A Cautionary Tale (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn Frederick.

Recent research in northern lower Michigan systematically tested the ability to identify subterranean food storage features using surface criteria. Subterranean storage features were used during the late Late Woodland period (AD 1200-1600) in parts of the Michigan Inland Waterway. Such cache features prolong the availability of food stuffs and mitigate against the risk of food shortage. This paper discusses the research methodology required for identifying such features. While many are...


Identifying the South Yard: Interrogating Landscapes of Home and Work Yards Enslaved African Americans at Montpelier (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Terry Brock.

Landscape analysis of slave plantations typically approaches the plantation scale, analyzing the distribution of the built environment across the plantation itself. This paper will focus on the analysis of the domestic slave quarter of James Madison's Montpelier, and how the yards, structures, and features were organized and used by the Madisons and enslaved community. Over the course of multiple field seasons , archaeologists have conducted extensive field excavations uncovering three...


Identifying The  Visible: A Look at How Economic Class and Ethnicity Influence Women's Visibility Within a  Household (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Cori Rich.

Archaeology has allowed for underrepresented, often invisible, groups of people within history to become visible and have their stories told.  Despite archaeologists’ best efforts in identifying these underrepresented groups; there is still much work yet to be conducted. There is a lack of information from the eighteenth-century, and even less work done on the way ethnicity and class impact women’s visibility within the archaeological record. This paper utilizes seven site reports, from...


Identifying Transient Sites in the Archaeological Record (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Walker.

A central problem in constructing an archaeology of transient populations is identifying the archaeological signatures of these populations. For example. transient sites look very much like refuse deposits and usually lack a firm historical association. In this paper, I focus on rural transients in California, and, using a sample of previous recorded sites, present preliminary research on distinguishing potential transient sites from other rural deposits. This research does not offer any silver...


Identifying with the Help: an Examination of Class, Ethnicity and Gender in a Post-Colonial German Houselot (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin Whitson.

The German presence within the Mississippi River valley, has received little attention through archaeological investigation. German outbuildings (as well as those living and/or working within outbuildings) have received even less reflection and deserves to be addressed to better understand what life was like within the American interior for "the help" during the country’s formative years. Bought in 1833 by a German family, the Janis-Ziegler property quickly moved from one centered in French...


Identities in Flux at an American Frontier Fort: A Study of 19th Century Army Laundresses at Fort Davis, Texas (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katrina C. L. Eichner.

As spaces of translation, frontiers and boundaries are the ideal location to study personhood and identity as inhabitants of these landscapes constantly experience and actively negotiate between the multiple live realities that are shaped by often conflicting ideologies. I propose the use of third-space as a framework for understanding the fragmentation and fluidity of experience in the American frontier during the 19th century. Using materials related daily life at a multi-ethnoracial, western...


Identity and Ideology in the Hohokam Ballcourt World (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Leslie Aragon.

The Hohokam Ballcourt World encompassed much of the middle Gila River watershed from around A.D. 800 to 1100. The widespread ideology that many archaeologists associate with the use of ballcourts correlates with an expression of group identity that manifests itself in the archaeological record as the suite of traits that mark the Hohokam pre-Classic period. Despite the fact that archaeologists commonly define groups based on their material culture, these groups are not static. Parts of identity...


Identity and Isolation: The Material Realities of an (almost) Isolated Household in Sandpoint, Idaho (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Molly E Swords. Mark Warner.

A great deal of archaeology conducted on Chinese immigrant communities in the United States has documented the persistence of an array of traditional cultural practices after arrival.  Recent work in Sandpoint, Idaho has identified a Chinese household/business whose material world contrasts with what many other archaeologists have previously reported on.  What was identified was an amalgamation of continued use of Chinese goods with the incorporation of an array of western habits, particularly...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ali Livesay.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite its remoteness and the restricted access, there are very few standing structures on the Pajarito Plateau where Los Alamos National Laboratory now resides. One notable exception is Nake’muu Pueblo which was first built during the Coalition Period (A.D. 1225-1300). Pueblo de San Ildefonso oral history describes that Nake’muu was reoccupied following...

If You Can’t Take The Heat: Archaeology Of A 1760s-1800 New Jersey Out Kitchen (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael J. Gall.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Once ubiquitous, out kitchens were set apart from dwellings to keep cooking fires away from the house during summer months. This separation ensured that uncontrolled fires did not spread to a family’s home. Out kitchens were places where people cooked -often women, clothing was cleaned, tended and mended, and quarter was given to apprentices and free and enslaved laborers....


Illegitimate Children, Single Parents, and Methodism in an African American Enclave in the Dominican Republic (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kristen R. Fellows.

In previous research on an African American enclave in Samaná, Dominican Republic baptism and marriage records have provided a wealth of information; this data has been looked at for marriage patterns within and beyond the confines of the community, naming practices, and even spatial information regarding where individuals lived. This paper, however, will begin a discussion on a component of these documents which has, to date, gone unexplored: legitimacy rates and the baptism of illegitimate...


Illicit Trade and the Rise of a Capitalistic Culture in the 17th-century Potomac River Valley: An Analysis of Imported Clay Tobacco Pipes. (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lauren K. McMillan.

Scholars disagree about the impact of English mercantilist and Dutch free trade policies on the development of the 17th-century British colonies in the mid-Atlantic region and many argue that because the Dutch were rarely mentioned in the records of Virginia or Maryland after 1660 and the passage of the Navigation Acts, Dutch merchants were absence from the colonies. However, my research, which draws on a close reading of the archaeological and historic record focusing on trade patterns,...
