This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Poverty Point Objects (PPOs) are thought to have functions related to contexts of heating and cooking in areas where stone alternatives are not locally available. PPO morphology and composition, therefore, may potentially be explained by the efforts of prehistoric populations to manipulate thermal properties that impact performance for cooking and heating. In...

The Evanston Chinatown was occupied from ca 1870 to 1922.  Evanston is located in extreme southwestern Wyoming, in a valley drained by the Bear River.  Excavations of this Chinatown have revealed a diversity of material cultural remains. Based on our findings n this paper we will present the diverse ways the Chinese immigrants adapted to living in Evanston. We will do this by examining the food ways of Chinese immigrants and looking at the macro and micro floral remains recovered from the site.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Founded in 1855, the Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum saw 30,000 patients pass through its doors before the institution moved to a new facility in 1935. Vital expansion of the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), located on the former asylum property, prompted historical and archaeological investigations of the now-unmarked Asylum Hill...

From the timber-framed homes in the South Yard for domestic servants to the log cabins of the Stable and Field Slave Quarters, the housing for the enslaved community at Montpelier mirrored that found on many plantations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Recent excavations at an agricultural structure--the Tobacco Barn--produced a domestic assemblage that suggests the co-option of work structures for temporary worker housing. This paper explores the evidence for variable-duration housing at Montpelier...

The Remmey family is known for the distinctive blue decorated salt-glazed stoneware they produced at potteries in New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia during the 18th and 19th centuries. From the 1870s through 1910 the Remmeys manufactured fire brick and chemical stoneware at their large pottery in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Excavations in advance of construction for the I-95 project in Philadelphia exposed an isolated stoneware waster dump associated with the Remmey manufacturing...

The role of archaeology in facilitating everyday life on the Navajo Nation is a day-to-day concern for many Navajo Nation citizens. Citizens and communities of the Navajo Nation and the nation itself engage with archaeology in three ways. Individual citizens require archaeology to secure the necessary permission to build a home on reservation land. For Navajo communities, archaeology is part and parcel with infrastructure and land use planning and development. At the government level archaeology...

While racial inequality was frequently the norm in many early 20th century communities, several historians have noted that many central Appalachian coal mining ‘company towns’ tended toward more equitable white/black race relations.  The progressive nature of these histories is opposed to our modern stereotypes of the region, and may provide and important outlet for positive narratives of Appalachia.  This paper draws largely on oral histories and documentary evidence to understand the processes...

This is an abstract from the "From Iliniwek to Ste Genevieve: Early Commerce along the Mississippi" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Despite being in conflict with England during the late 1700s and early 1800s, French/Spainish Colonial site and early American sites reflect the improtance of English goods on the local economies. But these goods were not accepted wholesale, but altered to fit life on the frontier.

This is an abstract from the "Liquid Landscapes: Recent Developments in Submerged Landscape Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Manasota Key Offshore (MKO) site is submerged under the gulf of Mexico off the shore of Manasota Key, Florida. This site, which was occupied over 7,000 years ago, provides a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of early Holocene environmental change on hunter-gatherers, particularly relating to...

 The remains of a World War I soldier recovered at the Comana Monastery in southern Romania provide a case study emphasizing how careful documentation of the archaeological context and effective communication between archaeologists and forensic anthropologists improve the accuracy of distinguishing perimortem trauma from postmortem taphonomic damage.   Killed in battle, this soldier’s skeleton presented evidence of sharp force trauma, blast fractures, and postmortem damage from a mass burial and...

In New York, where developable land is scarce and the pace of development can be overwhelming, the social and cultural meanings of space and place can quickly change as properties change hands. Throughout New York’s history, many cemeteries and burial grounds have been redeveloped, often without the removal of graves. Human remains associated with historic cemeteries are present beneath the city’s parks and parking lots, and in the backyards and below the basements of buildings large and small....

The paper summarizes the new architecture in three areas of Ireland during the early seventeenth century: the Ulster plantation, the Midland plantations, and the large areas outside of the plantations. A new but a distinct architecture of semi-fortified plantation houses emerged in this period. These houses sometimes had mannerist classical details of entrances, but usually no overall classical design. However, increasingly, the major plantation houses were set in impressive symmetrical...

Investigations of an African American slave and freedpeople settlement near Savannah, Georgia revealed the sequence of its internal organization between its establishment as a plantation slave quarter in the 1820s and its abandonment at the end of the century.  Reconstruction of the quarter's layout suggested that at the time of its establishment, houses were arranged in an informal cluster according to principles the slaves established. Later in the antebellum period, the quarter took on a...

Following the rise of digital media in photography, the average historic site visitor has more ability than ever to influence the presented narrative of a particular place. While the "expert" interpretation is still a predominant method, the volume and availability of amateur or community user impressions provides a consistent program for engaging these viewpoints in the interpretation. Many archaeological sites have moved to somewhat control this narrative, providing Instagram accounts or...

Technology has driven the innovative growth and progress in many different industries over time. From agriculture to space exploration, technology has been driven towards answering questions that need to be answered. Technology in Archaeology is no different than other fields, however its growth is contingent on other innovative use of theory and practice using new tools in fields that have the funding for innovation, and the need for expedited answers. Through examining how technology has...

The Exploring Joara Foundation, Inc. (EJF) was conceived as an outreach and fundraising non-profit arm of the Berry Site excavations. Very quickly, the board-led decision was made to expand and diversify outreach efforts. As EJF reaches its ten year anniversary, the organization is reassessing its current and future impact on the surrounding region. This paper will discuss the recent efforts to create archaeology content with measurable outcomes using education non-profit best practices to reach...

In the 1990s, Cornell University students partnered with community members when service-learning courses were a fairly new concept for archaeological education. Native students participated in the excavation to locate a neutral Tutelo village that was destroyed in 1779 in a punitive military expedition by American forces.  The Cornell team also worked in partnership with local farmers, property owners, developers, and town officials in Ithaca, New York.  The site was open to the public and tours...
