Fleets of Cahuita: Recording and Interpreting the Costa Rica Fishing Boats (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bryan S Rose.

Today Cahuitan fishermen often build and design their own fishing boats used for snorkel tours, lobster diving and artisanal fishing. These watercraft come in a variety of sizes, design and hull decorations. The builders have detailed knowledge about functions and features. Up until the early 1980s all these watercraft were log boat designs, evolving rapidly into modern fiberglass or dugouts covered in fiberglass. Distinctively designed oars are handmade with machetes and used to propel boats...

"Flesh Wounds": Migrant Injuries and the Archaeological Traces of Pain (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Olivia P. Waterhouse. Polina Hristova. Andrea Dantus. Marcela Dorfsman-Hopkin. Jason De León.

While crossing the desert clandestinely, migrants routinely experience a broad range of physical injuries including dehydration, hyperthermia, exhaustion, cuts, bruises, and blisters, all of which are conceptualized by federal law enforcement to act as forms of deterrence. Drawing on a combination of interviews with migrants and experimental research on hiking injuries, we highlight the many ways that the desert hurts people and the various coping strategies that border crossers have developed....

Flint Ballast, Rocky Connections With Europe (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Susan Langley. Raymond L Hayes. Laszlo Takacs. Marina Congedo.

On the East Coast of North America, nodules of flint often are encountered in ballast piles. Many archaeologists assert an ability to identify visually when these are of European origin. While, anecdotally, this appears to be generally true, most archaeologists cannot articulate the specific factors they employ in making the identification. This project, which builds on Barbara Luedtke’s 1992 work, examines geological terminology, tests the visual identification assertion, and employs XRF and...

Fluted-point technology and the nature of its transmission in the Western Canadian Ice-free Corridor (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Heather Smith.

Recent analyses suggest that Paleoindian stage technology in the archaeological record of the Western Canadian Ice-free Corridor—fluted projectile points—can provide valuable evidence of the dispersal of Clovis and descendant groups northward as early Americans spread throughout the New World. This paper discusses recent geometric morphometric and technological evidence for fluted-point variation in the Ice-free Corridor, which possibly represents a variety of typological specimens spanning over...

Folklore, Fishing Art, and Free Divers: The Cahuita Community (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only B. Lynn Harris. Kelsey K Dwyer.

Cahuita, a small Afro Caribbean town in southern Costa Rica, boasts a vibrant community of painters, musicians and fishermen. The plethora of colorful murals on buildings, stone statues, lyrics and sounds of calypso and reggae music, small fishing boats and folklore expand the maritime historical narrative. Themes include dramatic stories about shipwrecks and survivors, nature conservation debates, earthquakes, local wildlife, and fishing adventures. The ECU maritime studies team will present an...

Following the Drinking Gourd: Considering the Celestial Landscape (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia M. Samford.

The world of enslaved African Americans included not only the solid ground beneath their feet and other physical landmarks, but also the sky above them, replete with planets and stars. In a world without maps, compasses or, in many instances, the ability to read directions, the enslaved were dependent upon visual cues for making their way through the landscape. Oral traditions and historical documents reveal that planets and constellations were important guides for finding one’s way,...

Following the Pattern: Using Transferprints to Refine 19th Century Site Chronologies (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lynsey A. Bates.

Refining site chronologies on predominantly nineteenth century sites is a goal of many historical archaeologists. This paper analyzes transferprint colors and identified patterns recovered from Andrew Jackson’s The Hermitage plantation as one analytical solution. The dataset consists of thousands of sherds excavated from yard spaces and structures built when Jackson acquired the property in 1804, in an area known as the First Hermitage. Using the same approach outlined in the DAACS Hermitage...

Following the Patterns: A Paper Trail Leading to Domestic Production at Catoctin Furnace (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexandra V Slepushkina.

Catoctin Furnace is a historic forge first built in the late 18th century located in the Catoctin Mountains, in Thurmont, Maryland. The purpose of this research is to follow a paper trail in the form of deeds and surviving ledgers from the general store at Catoctin Furnace to determine which families or houses were participating in the domestic production of buttons, clothes, and shoes.Though this research will mostly focus on the Forgeman’s House due to the presence of archaeological...

Following the Voyageurs Highway: Cultural Resource Management in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan Brown.

Wilderness areas are generally managed as unpeopled landscapes, in the words of the Wilderness Act, "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." However, wilderness areas do have human histories, and these historical narratives and the archaeological record they left behind can greatly enrich the visitor experience. In the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota, visitors portage canoes...

Folsom Projectile Technology: An Experiment in Design, Effectiveness, and Efficiency (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David A Hunzicker.

J. Whittaker: Used 25 F points replicated by Patten (80 counting reuse after damage and reshaping), hafted 5 ways, fired with crossbow at 30-35 m/s perpendicularly into beef carcass ribs. Foreshafts on 220 cm, 240 gm shafts to simulate atlatl. Fluting helps hafting - easier to fit convex foreshaft notch interior to flute surface than usual concave notch interior to lenticular point, but labor intensive. Hafted to full length of flutes. Foreshaft types all performed similarly regarding break...

Food and a Frontier Community: History and Faunal Analysis on Samuel H. Smith Site in Nauvoo, Illinois (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Chelsea Codling.

This is an abstract from the "Frontier and Settlement Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Nauvoo, Illinois is a small town, known today as a summer tourist destination because of rich religious history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) and the splintering factions such as the Restoration Branches and Community of Christ churches. Archaeological excavations in Nauvoo began in the 1970s and continues today as a...

Food at the Furnace: Piecing Together the Working Class Foodways at Catoctin Furnace (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Catherine A Comstock.

The excavation of the Forgeman’s House, (Site 18FR1043), took place in 2016 in Thurmont, Maryland. Constructed in about 1821, this house has been interpreted as the dwelling of a laborer that worked at Catoctin Furnace. Artifacts that were uncovered included food wastes such as bones, seeds, nuts, corn cobs, and egg shells. Flotation samples taken from the site also yielded further evidence regarding food consumption. In addition to growing their own food, foraging, and trading, those that...

Food for Thought: Comparing Diets of Enslaved People on Southern Plantations through Preliminary Faunal Analysis (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amber J Grafft-Weiss.

Extensive excavation at Kingsley Plantation (within the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve National Park in Jacksonville, Florida) has yielded a wealth of data through which to interpret the lifeways of enslaved Africans who lived and worked there between 1814 and the Civil War. Located on Fort George Island, Kingsley Plantation offered an environment rich in terrestrial as well as estuarine faunal resources. Through preliminary analysis of faunal samples collected from cabin...
