Northeastern North America (Geographic Keyword)
1-7 (7 Records)
The Dating Iroquoia project is developing high-precision radiocarbon chronologies for northeastern North American archaeology. We are especially concerned with understanding how refined timeframes help us to understand processes of population movement, conflict, settlement aggregation, politogenesis, and the entry and impacts of European manufactured goods and persons among Northern Iroquoian societies.

MacPherson (AhHa-21) and Cleveland (AhHb-7): Two Cases Demonstrating The Benefits and Challenges of Radiocarbon Dating on Sixteenth-Century Iroquoian Sites (2022)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Radiocarbon dating on sixteenth-century archaeological sites can be challenging. On its own, radiocarbon dating this century can be imprecise, owing to a reversal and plateau in the radiocarbon calibration curve ca. AD 1480-1630. Advances in Bayesian Chronological modeling, including the use of charcoal as terminus post quem (TPQ) and internal site sequences, have helped to overcome much...
"on the same River where the Dutch have built a wretched redoubt": Space, Place and the Creation of the Southern Border of New France in the Lake Champlain Richelieu River Valley. (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Forts in Comparative, Global, and Contemporary Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The long 18th century was a time of conflict and contestation between the French, British and First Nations peoples in eastern North America. In a 1663 letter the Baron Pierre Dubois D’Avaugour, Governor of New France, suggested building three forts to defend the southern frontier of the colony. In 1665 –...
Preliminary Micro Computed Tomodensitometry Of 16th and 17th Century Frit-core Glass Beads In North America (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Glass Beads: Global Artefacts, Local Perspectives", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper explores the potential of micro computed tomodensitometry (µCT) to contribute to the understanding of frit-core glass bead manufacture. µCT is a non-invasive technique that is used on a wide range of archaeological materials, including glass beads, to examine their manufacturing technology. In this preliminary...
Quantifying the Importance of Saltmarsh Grazing in Coastal Settlements: an Isotopic Approach (2023)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. We outline a new isotopic approach for exploring the importance of saltmarsh grazing in the past. Saltmarshes and other wetland habitats are important cultural and ecological resources because they can provide abundant, lower-input fodder for livestock and perform vital ecological services. For this reason, historical archaeological and ecological communities share a common interest in...
