This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Late Archaic (3000-1000 BCE) to Early Woodland (1000 – 500 BCE) transition of the South Atlantic Bight is characterized by vast sociotechnical changes. Research of these periods has been dominated in recent decades by the study of large shell rings and their likely attendant ceremonial happenings, in part because coastal erosion has necessitated...

This paper examines how archaeological investigations at Betty’s Hope, a former English sugar plantation on the Caribbean island of Antigua, can encompass a variety of approaches in working with archaeological materials recovered from the site, as well as the site itself.  Betty’s Hope operated from 1651 until 1944, making it one of the oldest and most continuously operating plantations on the island. Its long history, combined with good preservation, provides an ideal laboratory for studying...

The transition from tobacco to wheat cultivation in the late-18th century at Monticello radically altered agricultural ecology, as swidden plots gave way to permanent fields.  We use macrobotanical remains and pollen as complementary evidence to assess how this shift affected plants use strategies employed by enslaved field hands and the botanical environments they maintained adjacent to their houses.  The identified shift in pollen taxa does not match the pattern we previously identified for...

The sheer joy of being a kid at an archaeological summer camp is not lost on adults. In fact, by involving teachers in summer camp and other investigations, in a "kid" role, allows them to experience the wonder of hands-on discovery. Add in some additional professional development and you create empowered teachers who infuses their lesson plans with engagement, rich content, authenticity, and relevancy.  In recent years the PAST summer field teams introduced this new type of teacher professional...

North American archaeologists are increasing using multiple near-surface geophysical techniques at archaeological sites to locate features of interest. Examining different physical properties in the subsurface has greatly improved archaeological interpretations; however, these data are often examined in a subjective site specific fashion (notable exceptions are the pioneering work of Kvamme and Ernenwein). This research seeks to quantitatively integrate magnetic gradiometry, frequency-domain...

This poster presents research on the effects of treasure salvors on Spanish colonial shipwrecks in Florida. Currently, there is no basis for quantifying treasure salvor impacts on Spanish colonial shipwrecks. The Pillar Dollar wreck in Biscayne Bay and three vessels from the 1733 Spanish plate fleet serve as case studies for this research. The poster addresses the following questions: 1. What can the academic investigation of the treasure salvor industry reveal about what is lost or gained...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Industrial capital often instilled discipline through control of social behaviors. Alcohol consumption was most often targeted due to its effects on worker productivity. Although many late 19th and early 20th century corporations had strict alcohol policies, the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company (CCI) never enforced sobriety within their lumber camps. CCI took a hands off approach to...

This report presents the results of a cultural resources survey of three proposed borrow areas associated with the relocation of a portion of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (Map Reference R-3). One site was discovered within the project area. This site consists of a brick scatter which has been heavily impacted and is not recommended for further investigation. No other cultural resources were discovered on the remaining borrow areas and cultural clearance is advised for the entire project.
