This is an abstract from the "Debitage Analysis: Case Studies, Successes, and Cautionary Tales" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For a cultural resource to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, it must meet specific criteria. For significant archaeological sites, this usually means the resources can produce data that address important questions about the past (i.e., National Register Criterion D). The integrity of design is of...

This presentation will explore the opportunity to increase scientific driven data into the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 compliance process particularly relating to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) undertakings. The absence of empirical data available to the BLM to analyze how different activities’ development and/or management affect archaeological sites can result in unfounded assumptions and unnecessary complications during project planning and implementation. Using...

Many current practices in American archaeology arose from the mid-20th century River Basin Surveys (RBS). These surveys were part of the Inter-Agency Salvage Program, an unprecedentedly large effort to investigate archaeological sites threatened by extensive dam-building projects. RBS researchers studied mostly prehistoric sites, but the work was also a turning point for historical archaeology, especially of the Great Plains and the American West in general. The research priorities of the RBS...

This is an abstract from the "Case Studies from SHA’s Heritage at Risk Committee" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Natural and anthropogenic climate changes, specifically from sea-level rise, are drastically reshaping coastal waterways and shorelines. Few regional predictive models capture hyper-local changes. In response, this research project combined geospatial information captured with an unmanned areial system (AUS) with georeferenced maps...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Hard Science on Hard Steel: Scientific Studies of the USS Arizona" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During a visit to the USS Arizona Memorial in 1998, samples from Wapio Point, Pearl Harbor were provided the author and delivered to the UNL Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering for metallurgical examination. Subsequent field operations in 2002 focused on potential/ pH measurements and...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Hard Science on Hard Steel: Scientific Studies of the USS Arizona" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Corrosion rates for the USS Arizona, based on seventy-eight years of exposure in Pearl Harbor, are used by the National Park Service to assess the current and future state of this ship. To support ongoing efforts to improve corrosion models, short-term mass loss studies have been undertaken by cadets at the...

This is an abstract from the "Developing Standard Methods, Public Interpretation, and Management Strategies on Submerged Military Archaeology Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 2017 discovery of USS Indianapolis, one of the Navy’s most storied ships and sought-after wrecksites, propelled the vessel back into the public eye and highlighted a string of deep-water WWII shipwreck investigations. After the media hype subsided, the Naval...

This is an abstract from the "Transcending Modern Boundaries: Recent Investigations of Cultural Landscapes in Southeastern Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Nuche, or Ute people, have been in their homelands across Colorado and Utah since time immemorial. Southeast Utah formed part of the larger movements of the Ute bands with connections to the area, which in turn formed part of the overall Ute movements across the entire Ute homeland. The...

The seven Amana villages of east-central Iowa were founded in the mid 19th century by German pietists seeking a removed location in which to practice their unique form of communal Christianity. In 1932 the community voted to separate the governing body of the church from the political and economic facets of community life for the first time, this event is remembered today as the "Great Change." In summer of 2012 a group of outhouses were excavated at the Amanas as part of a project to look at...

This document is a report that details the archaeological survey of Sudden Flats and associated canyons. The reconaissance survey represented the beginning of a larger project to be conducted at a future date. The project was completed during the month of August, 1969 and consisted of 1. Determination of size and location of shell middens and other cultural materials in the survey area; 2. Determination and classification of the ecological aspects of the survey area; 3. Minor surface collection...

This document is a report that summarizes activities carried out on Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, during the summer of 1969, under a Federal Antiquities Act Permit issued to Dr. Claude N. Warren of the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara by the National Park Service as part of early inventory efforts at VAFB. Goals included locating archaeological sites between Shuman Canyon and Pt. Sal in the north and Sudden Flats in the south and filling out...

This document is a preliminary report that presents the details of mapping 80 sites (maps not included) known in the project area, brief descriptions, and an initial evaluation of the significance of each site tested in the project area. Only 32 of the 80 sites were tested. As such this report was not considered adequate to provide supporting data for a draft EIS for the proposed Space Transportation Systems (STS) facilities at VAFB. A comprehensive final report on all aspects of field and lab...

This document is a letter report for the archaeological survey and subsurface testing conducted by Laurence Spanne on December 5, 1975 to determine the impact of the installation of a cable trench near Launch Facility No. 23 on Vandenberg Air Force Base. The archeological survey focused on the east and northeast margins of CA-SBA-733, a previously recorded prehistoric site. The report also provided four recommendations in order to avoid or mitigate project impacts.

This document is a Section 106 report that discusses a project that was designed to collect planning information for location of the Space Transportation System (STS) facilities on VAFB. This study was to include a survey or inventory of archaeological resources within the project area defined as a twenty-one mile long, 3,000' wide, coastal corridor extending from just north of the Santa Ynez River to a point south of Point Arguello. In addition, selected sites were to be tested, mapped, and...

The initial fieldwork (1979) was designed to identify areas in which the construction of proposed MX facilities on San Antonio Terrace would result in impacts to cultural resources. Areas of projected impact were systematically surveyed, sites idetified, recorded, and mapped. All the cultural resources identified during this mitigation planning study were sites ranging in size from small lithic scatters on presumed trails to the archaeological remains of major settlements characterized by...
