The Cove Conundrum: Managing Culture, Nature, and Tourism in Cades Cove, Tennessee (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Cades Cove, located within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, is the stage of competing interests related to contested historical narratives, natural landscapes, and increased tourism demands. Originally within the Cherokee ancestral homeland, the Cove witnessed Euro-American early 19th-century settlement, which reshaped the area. The Cove...
Covert Cooking: Food Acquisition, Preparation and Consumption outside of the Granada Relocation Center Mess Halls (2018)
Historic archaeology is uniquely positioned to provide a fuller understanding of the Japanese diaspora in the United States, and also allows the recordation of methods employed by nearly 120,000 forcibly relocated Japanese Americans to modify and adapt to their newfound surroundings. Using archaeological survey, excavation, oral history data and historic documents, research at the Granada Relocation Center, in southeast Colorado, has provided insight to identity maintenance strategies. Recent...
Cows, Clorox, and Canning: Early Twentieth Century Consumption and Consumerism in Rural Alabama (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Crafting Bones: An Analysis of a Worked Bone Assemblage from a Mississippian Ceremonial Complex in Northeast Florida (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Bone has been used as a medium for crafting both tools and decorative items since our earliest ancestors; however, this important component of material culture has often been overlooked, with the few published studies focusing on assemblages from either a utilitarian or burial context. The Mill Cove Complex, located along the St. Johns River near...

Crafty Thinking: Measuring Skill Across Time and Space (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Apprenticeship systems are essential to the development of craft specialization, yet archaeologists have only recently begun to advance general models of these systems in addition to measurements of skill. This presentation will use a blacksmith shop at the Chittenango site located in upstate New York as a case study. Developing criteria for the measurement of skill was key in...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Military Sites Archaeology in the Caribbean: Studies of Colonialism, Globalization, and Multicultural Communities" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Brimstone Hill Fortress (1690-1854) on the northwest coast of St. Kitts constitutes a militarized landscape that protected the harbor at Sandy Point, provided covering fire for nearby Charles Fort, afforded refuge for the island’s inhabitants, and suppressed...
Creating a Research Community at Mission San Jose in Fremont, California (2018)
Recent construction of affordable housing in Fremont provided the funding and staffing to excavate a significant archaeological site associated with Mission San Jose. When preservation is not possible, careful consideration of creative outreach becomes more critical. To fully realize the research and interpretive potential of this important resource, many voices and long periods of study are needed. Researchers from a CRM firm, three university campuses, and representatives from a descendant...
Creating A Unified Database Of New York City Artifacts (2016)
The Museum of the City of New York and Landmarks Preservation Commission partnered in 2013 to develop an inventory of archaeological artifacts owned by the City of New York. At the Museum, we have developed a database that maintains the hierarchy of Projects, Contexts and Artifacts within each archaeological project, while also allowing users to search at the individual artifact level. Artifact level searches allow comparison across all sites within the City’s holdings – opening up new research...

Creating Community at Singer-Move: Feasting and Craft Production in a Residential Precinct (2018)
During its estimated 400-year history of occupation, Singer-Moye was a focal point of prehistoric settlement and socio-political development in the Lower Chattahoochee River Valley of southwestern Georgia (USA). Between A.D. 1300 and 1400, the site was a focus of regional settlement aggregation that included the expansion of the site’s monumental core and the deposition of a dense occupational midden surrounding that core. In 2016 and 2017, excavations at Singer-Moye were focused on...
Creating Machine Learning Models Using Historical Maps to Identify the Places In-Between (2024)
This is an abstract from the "*SE The State of Theory in Southeastern Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Historical archaeology lies at the intersection of the written word, the spoken word, and material things. We extend and enhance that purview by incorporating machine learning algorithms to create more dynamic assessments of places documented on historical maps, thus engaging more deeply with sociocultural and environmental...
Creating Space for a Place: The River Street Public Archaeology Project (2016)
Community-based public archaeology projects seek to reclaim aspects of the past while addressing the needs and concerns of local communities. Sometimes this work places archaeologists in a position where we are forced to tack between the desire to conduct original research and the need to simultaneously navigate complex economic, social, and political constructs. All of this takes place in spaces, geographic, systemic, and paradigmatic, that both constrain and enable archaeological research. The...
The Creation of an In-House, Interactive, Bottle Identification Guide for Students (2017)
During the 2015-2016 school-year, the Lindenwood University Archaeology Laboratory undertook an extensive examination of bottles that had been recovered from our campus excavation project and a donated collection. The data were compiled into a spreadsheet that included manufacturer, date range of production, place of manufacture, and contents of the bottle when discernable. In order to assist future lab workers with the identification of common bottle types and their makers in the Midwest,...
The Creation of the New York City Archaeological Repository (2016)
Dozens of archaeological excavations have made important discoveries about the almost four-hundred year history of New York City and the people who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. In 2014, a climate controlled archaeological repository was established in Midtown Manhattan to appropriately curate the city’s collections. Previously, they were dispersed, often inaccessible, and kept in non-ideal conditions which meant they were often at risk and rarely used for research. Many...
Creative Continuity:Tradition and Community Reproduction on the Margins of Western Ireland (2016)
Local pilgrimage or an turas traditions in western Ireland provide a valuable opportunity to critique and nuance the common association of geographically marginal communities with cultural stasis. Emerging archaeological evidence suggests that modern pilgrims not only re-used older monuments, but also reproduced certain patterns of movement and memory initially developed for monastic liturgies in the early medieval period (c. 400-1100 CE). Such apparent long-term continuities of practice evoke...
A Creole Synthesis: An Archaeology of the Mixed Heritage Silas Tobias Site in Setauket, New York (2018)
Research on the Silas Tobias site in Setauket, New York has identified a small 19th century homestead with a well-preserved and stratified archaeological context. Documentation of the site establishes that the site was occupied from at least 1823 until about 1900. Based on documentary evidence, the Tobias family is considered African American, though the mixed Native American and African American heritage of the descendant community is also well-known. Excavations in 2015 exposed both...
