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...


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.

Since 2015, the National Park Service, as partners in the Slave Wrecks Project, has been conducting a community archaeological program that introduces archaeology and heritage management to local students. 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...

Hoxie Farm: Bioarchaeology of a Late Prehistoric Community in Northeastern Illinois (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Eve Hargrave. Kristin M. Hedman.

The Upper Mississippian (A.D. 1400-1500) Hoxie Farm site is one of the best documented late prehistoric sites in Cook County, Illinois. In 1953, Elaine Bluhm and David Wenner from the Field Museum of Natural History organized a volunteer crew of professional and avocational archaeologists to salvage portions of the site in advance of construction of the first interstate highway (I-80) in Illinois. In 2000-2003, the Illinois State Archaeological Survey (ISAS) conducted additional excavations at...


Hoyo Negro: The Formation and Transformation of a Submerged Late Pleistocene Cave Site in Quintana Roo, Mexico (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Dominique Rissolo. James C. Chatters. Alberto E Nava Blank. Eduard Reinhardt. Patricia Beddows. Shawn Kovacs. Shawn Collins. Pilar Luna Erreguerena.

Exploration of the submerged cave systems of Quintana Roo, Mexico, has afforded researchers access to uniquely preserved Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene deposits that can reveal a wealth of information about the human ecology of the Yucatan Peninsula at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. The interdisciplinary Hoyo Negro Project aims to identify and reconstruct the processes that have formed and transformed the site over millennia. In addition to ongoing studies of the human skeleton from...


Huguenot Heritage: Revisiting Curated Collections in NYC (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Theodor M Maghrak.

Previously excavated and curated collections are often seen as unworthy of serious scholarly attention. The drive to produce using entirely "new" excavations, artifacts, and data sets underlies and reinforces this pattern. This paper discusses two major components of using decades-old collections: research and responsibility. It first summarizes recent research demonstrating the accretion of class identity among French Huguenots in early 18th-century New York City. It then moves on to offer...
