Women and Children First: The Archaeology of Motherhood and Childhood on San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Cove (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Teresa D. Bulger.

Popular images of the maritime industry in places like San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Cove often focus on men — whether working on docks or ships, or on land at iron works and carpenter’s shops. Less visible in the historical record of these spaces are the women and children also living, and often working, along the waterfront. Historical research on the neighborhood that bordered Yerba Buena Cove in the late-19th-century suggests that most residences were occupied by families, rather than by...

Women in 16thCentury San Juan, Puerto Rico: Material Culture and Gender Role Contradictions (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Julissa A. Collazo López.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Considering Frontiers Beyond the Romantic: Spaces of Encroachment, Innovation, and Far Reaching Entanglements" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper will address women’s role in 16thcentury San Juan, Puerto Rico, through documentary sources produced by the Royal Treasury.

Women's Networks and the Foundations of Mississippian Politics (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jacob Lulewicz. Lynne Sullivan.

This is an abstract from the "Kin, Clan, and House: Social Relatedness in the Archaeology of North American Societies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mississippian societies were undoubtedly underwritten by networks of kin, clan, and other social relationships that are difficult to discern in the archaeological record. Structures of social networks provide contexts for social, political, and economic institutions and serve as conduits through...

Wonderful Things: Using Legacy Archaeological Collections for Research (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Julia King.

How does one go about using legacy archaeological collections – or any archaeological collection, for that matter – for research? The prospect can be daunting, especially if you are staring down dozens of dusty boxes on shelves. This paper offers direction for studying even the most untamed collection by understanding it as a type of secondary data – lessons learned while working with legacy collections from the Potomac and Rappahannock river valleys in Maryland and Virginia. Secondary data, a...

Wood and Wampum: Transformative Expressions of Indigenous Power (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Margaret Bruchac.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Beyond Ornamentation: New Approaches to Adornment and Colonialism" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. While surveying wampum in museum collections, I encountered a unique category of ethnographic objects: Northeastern Native American wooden clubs and bowls embedded with wampum beads. These seventeenth century objects include beads that — from the obvious evidence of drilled holes and traces of fiber weft —...

WOOD IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A POSSIBLE CANOE FRAGMENT FROM EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA (2014)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter Kováčik. Linda Scott Cummings.

A hollowed out log, possibly representing a canoe, was recovered from a brackish environment within Everglades National Park, Monroe County, Florida. The log was continuously exposed to a marine environment since deposition (Andreas Diaz, personal communication August 28, 2014). This isolated find measures approximately 9 meters by .5 meters and, though broken in one location, appears to represent a single artifact (Andreas Diaz, personal communication September 2, 2014). A portion of the log...

Wood Work: Excavating the Wilderness Economy of New York’s Adirondack Mountains (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hadley F. Kruczek-Aaron.

At the end of the 19th century, New York's legislature responded to the clarion call of conservationists concerned for the state's diminishing timber resources and threatened watershed by creating the Adirondack Forest Preserve, which kept millions of acres of public land in northern New York "forever wild." At the same time, the Adirondack logging industry witnessed tremendous growth on account of expanded railroad networks and paper industry innovations that opened up new areas of private land...

Wooden Histories: Narratives of Rural Abandonment and Disappearing Landmarks (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William L Donaruma. Ian Kuijt. Sarah Seaberg.

The post 1820 wooden barns of the American mid-west are both physical structures, made of large beams, pegs and stone foundations, and silent witnesses to the dynamic interface between local, national and global social and economic changes. Drawing upon research in rural Indiania, this presentation explores the interface of regional historical research, personal interviews, and visual recording, to explore the process and potential contributions of documentary filmmaking in narrating local...

Wooden Post Architecture and the Origins of Woodland Civic-Ceremonial Centers: New Evidence from the Spring Warrior Complex, Florida (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Neill Wallis. James Dunbar.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Civic-ceremonial centers first emerged in the American Southeast near the Gulf of Mexico ca. AD 200–400 and served a dual purpose as home to resident villagers and as a place of ceremonial gatherings featuring feasts, mortuary rituals, and mound construction. Over the past decade, archaeologists have learned that some of these sites began as “vacant”...

Woodland Period Occupations Along the Savannah River: An Update of the Late Prehistoric Investigations at the Topper Site (38AL23), Allendale, SC (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amelia Jansen. Martin Walker. Heather Woods. Alexander Craib. Anita Lehew.

The Topper Site (38AL23) is a multi-component prehistoric site located along the eastern bank of the Savannah River in South Carolina. The focus of ongoing University of Tennessee, Knoxville excavations at the Topper Site are the extensive Woodland and Mississippian occupations that have until recently gone unexamined. To date, two block excavations and a dispersed 1x1m unit survey have been completed to better define these later occupations. Excavations have also resulted in the mapping,...

Woodland Subsistence in Upper East Tennessee (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Connie Randall. Meagan Dennison. Jay Franklin. Bruce Manzano. Renee Walker.

This paper describes the species diversity and taphonomic modifications of Woodland Period fauna from Upper East Tennessee. Fauna from both rock shelter and open-air locales from the Early Woodland (ca. 3000 years B.P.) to the Late Woodland (ca. 1000 years B.P.) period are used to characterize subsistence practices and site use in the region. In this paper, we present the MNI, NISP and measures of diversity, richness, and evenness of different animal species identified in the faunal assemblages...
