Archaeological assemblages in the Davis Flats North area, near the Williston Reservoir, Peace River Regional District, British Columbia, represent occupations spanning the early Holocene and recent occupations. Site HdSd-371:606 is situated on the western bank of a dendritic channel that bisects a large glaciolacustrian land form. Erosion due to the reservoir has impacted the site, and archaeological materials in the area likely do not reflect accurate depositional provenience. Artifacts have...

The Francois Paulette Cabin Site (2315R) site is a stratified, multi-component, precontact site located along the Slave River in Wood Buffalo National Park, northern Alberta. Charcoal and bone recovered from this site were submitted for identification and/or AMS radiocarbon dating. Eight radiocarbon dates were obtained from seven charcoal fragments and a partially burned antler fragment. Lithics recovered throughout the site also were submitted for protein residue analysis to provide information...

Protein residue analysis, organic residue analysis (FTIR), charcoal identification and/or AMS radiocarbon dating was conducted on several projectile points, ceramic, bone, and charcoal fragments from site GDON-18, near the eastern border of Alberta, Canada. The site is situated along the shore of Cold Lake, on a terrace of course sand. Vegetation in the area is generally comprised of boreal trees and shrubs, and associated understory plants. Residue analysis should provide some animal and plant...

A total of 19 samples were submitted for protein residue analysis, and two samples for organic residue (FTIR) analysis from sites HhOv 337 and HhOv 467, located in northeastern Alberta, near the Athabasca River. Vegetation in the area is primarily a boreal forest ecosystem dominated by aspen, white spruce and black spruce. Wetlands are extensive in this region. Protein residue and organic residue (FTIR) analysis will provide data useful in determining tool function and plant and animal...

The future of American Archaeology lies in its ability to engage the public and demonstrate the field’s relevance to a broad range of communities. One way that maritime archaeology can contribute to this future is through identifying and interpreting maritime landscapes. A maritime landscape approach draws on the "lure of the sea" that attracts many people to shipwreck studies, but engages larger constituencies through place-based history. Geographic space is one of the things that all people...

This is an abstract from the "Bones and Burials in Philadelphia: The Arch Street Project’s Multidisciplinary Research" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper will discuss the application of forensic art and 3-D facial reconstruction (in clay) that was conducted on selected skull replicas made from the Arch Street salvage cemetery site. These reconstructions help to "put a face" on the people who lived in Philadelphia between the 18th to...

This is an abstract from the "Arctic Pasts: Dimensions of Change" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Sugpiaq (also known as Alutiiq) people have a more than 7,500-year history on the Kodiak Archipelago and in the surrounding areas. Through that long history, they adapted and invented new technologies, grew from small and mobile communities to large, settled villages, fought and traded with their neighbors, and created a vibrant coastal society....

This is an abstract from the "HumAnE Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fire is a powerful tool for hunting because fire effects have important consequences on habitat and forage for prey species. Using case studies from the northern Great Plains and the Southwest US, I explore how fire-use positively impacted prey abundances or location, resulting in higher encounter rates for particular hunting strategies. Specifically, these case...

When ArcGis software enabled Python computer scripting language as a platform whereby users can automate tasks, edit and create new programs; it opened a door for archaeologists to enhance much of the work they do mapping, and performing spatial analysis. This session looks at the utilization of Python scripting language for automating a number of tasks which archaeologists do routinely, as well as other open source software and how its applications can lend new dimensions to the way we analyze...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "From the Bottom Up: Socioeconomic Archaeology of the French Maritime Empire" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The expansion of the French empire throughout the colonial era relied heavily on the labour and enslaved labour of displaced individuals. The historic Saint-Pierre and Miquelon cod fishery exploited this labour to fund and feed the empire. Cod would become a key commodity in the transatlantic...

This is an abstract from the "Social Archaeology in the North and North Atlantic (SANNA 3.0): Investigating the Social Lives of Northern Things" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2017, the Canadian government nominated eight places as candidates for future designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of those is Qajartalik, located off the coast of Nunavik, where more than 180 anthropomorphic faces were carved into soapstone outcrops between...

The City of Québec is developing an archaeological master plan for its territory which  includes four legally-defined historic districts, one of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The plan is being developed in the context of renewed provincial heritage legislation that will come into force in October 2012, and of the adoption of a revised urban master plan required under provincial legislation. The archaeological master plan will be accompanied by policy and programmes designed to foster...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology Out-of-the-Box: Investigating the Edge of the Discipline" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For the past 100 years, an alternative written record has been tied to the underbelly of Los Angeles’ built environment. The urban infrastructure of railroads, bridges, storm drain tunnels, harbors, and paved rivers houses a vernacular history inscribed mostly on concrete with rocks, chalk, charcoal, pencil, and...

This dissertation establishes a new timeframe for Indigenous participation in world-system expansion in southern Ontario, Canada ca. AD 1550–1650, by investigating how and when people living in three different Indigenous Nations in southern Ontario engaged with the expanding European world-system. This will be accomplished by: 1- Establishing an absolute timeframe for the initiation and development of Indigenous-European interaction through Bayesian chronological modeling of high-precision AMS...

Prehistoric archaeologists traditionally focus on periods of stability rather than change when constructing regional cultural chronologies, even though explaining periods of change is equally if not more important than explaining periods of stability. The advent of large radiocarbon date databases and the proliferation of open source computing programs such as program R have recently provided archaeologists with the tools necessary to begin understanding prehistoric transitions with high...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Transitioning from Commemoration to Analysis on the Transcontinental Railroad in Utah: Papers in Honor and Memory of Judge Michael Wei Kwan" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological research of a railroad, while not dissimilar to researching the history of a place, has unique aspects that make it challenging if one is not familiar with the subject. When envisioning a railroad, most people think of...
