Recent developments in 3D scanning and printing are increasingly being used in zooarchaeology. Our research takes the use of 3D technology further by attempting to develop a method that will enable the identification of bones based on 3D scans. This exploratory approach uses a series of standardized measurements on 3D scans of key skeletal elements to determine the statistical probability for the best fit of an unknown bone to known comparative materials. An example of this approach is shown in...

This is an abstract from the "Stability and Resilience in Zooarchaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Food is not only a means of nutrition and nourishment but also a way to bring people together, share experiences, and create memories. Some of the ways food is most noted is through special events or circumstances when large meals or atypical foods are used to bring groups of people together. Feasts, however, can serve many purposes. It is not...

A significant issue in archaeology today is the need to revisit interpretations of long-held collections. One such site is Feature 43, a 17th century domestic cellar that was once used as a refuse pit and later filled. Feature 43 provides a window into the activities and relationships of the Massachusetts Bay merchants of coastal Charlestown. Although Feature 43 was studied in the 1980's, the assemblage remained in storage for nearly thirty years, demanding a recontextualization of the site and...

Approximately 60 Modoc warriors and their families occupied and held off over 600 U.S. Army soldiers and volunteers at Captain Jack’s Stronghold during the 1872-1873 Modoc War. A 2008 wildfire revealed a remarkably intact Indian War battlefield that includes Modoc and U.S. Army camp areas, stacked rock fortifications and artillery emplacements. The 2008-2010 archaeological survey identified, mapped, and documented hundreds of features and artifacts, which provide insights into how the Modocs...

In 2014 R. Christopher Goodwin& Associates, Inc., completed the analysis of the faunal remains from archaeological data recovery at the Colton School site (16OR562), Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Analysis of faunal remains from the site revealed a propensity for beef rather than pork, a finding that contrasts Sam Bowers Hilliard’s statement on eating trends in the American South ca. 1860 as presented in his 1972 book Hog Meat and Hoecake. This article presents the result of this analysis and the...

This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology, Faunal, and Foodways Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Institutions today struggle with the same questions as those in previous centuries – how should we balance nutritional requirements and budget constraints? Is the diet designed to punish, reform or rehabilitate? Should there be set minimums for the quantity and quality of  the food? This paper uses a combination of faunal analysis and...

At Reaume’s Trading Post - a late 18th-century fur trade winter camp located in Central Minnesota – the acquisition of food and the trade for pelts left a varied assemblage of faunal remains on the site. The results from the faunal analysis suggest a deep entanglement of ways and peoples in a context where members of fur trade society shared, contested and interacted around a common need: food. What kinds of meat products were consumed or sought after by the traders, voyageurs, trappers and...

Is sensory archaeology queer archaeology? This paper uses examples from the historic archaeology of confinement and enculturation to explore the potential of a sensory approach as a queer methodology. The primacy of vision has been challenged by both sensory archaeologists and queer theorists, and both acknowledge a multiplicity and fluidity of the senses. Envisioning a multi-sensorial subject allows archaeologists to approach the queerness of individual and group experience outside the confines...

Research on landscapes of colonization and colonialism has been predominantly ungendered. Feminist post-colonial theories and research have revealed the centrality of gender and sexual systems and power dynamics in the formation of landscapes of colonization and colonialism.  Colonization involves what I call external colonialism, involving invasion and territorial conquest, which was a gendered and sexual landscape process called the conquest of women by the Spanish, and involving English...

  The Hermitage archaeology program fulfilled the dreams of many, from the children enrolled in the education program and the Earthwatch volunteers to the dozens of summer archaeology interns, many who now professional archaeologists working across the country.  The archaeological research program at The Hermitage was critical to understanding the social and working lives of enslaved individuals, their interaction with the Jacksons, and The Hermitage landscape. Yet, one of the true legacies of...

This is an abstract from the "Military Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Given relatively little attention in the broad study of United States history, the U.S.–Dakota War of 1862 nonetheless sparked a momentous chain of events that still resonates in the state of Minnesota and beyond. One important aspect of this conflict included fortifications built by Euro-American settlers in defense of desperate Dakota attacks. One such settlers’ fort...

As a resource, the archaeological record is finite and remains largely incomplete. Within the context of Southeastern American archaeology, the incompleteness of the record can be seen in the study of shell rings. Many unidentified shell rings exist in the archaeological record, and their detection remains difficult – even with remote sensing techniques – due to the fact that many are located under heavily forested canopies. However, with the use of object-based image analysis (OBIA), such...

Jews in the 17th - 19th Centuries lived perpetual ‘others,’ their lives typified by displacement, often through forced exile or social and economic ostracization. These individuals exemplified life in the Diaspora, defining their experience in juxtaposition to the regions where they lived. They marked their identity as being members of a global Jewish community all the while assimilating to the societal norms of their temporary homelands. The archaeology of the Jewish communities in North...
