This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Turpin site (33Ha19) reflects the remains of an early Fort Ancient (ca. AD 1000-1300) village located near the confluence of the Little Miami and Ohio Rivers on the east side of modern-day Cincinnati, Ohio. Recent excavations at Turpin revealed evidence of habitation, midden, and possible special purpose contexts. One large pit (Feature 100) dated...

The Old Copper Complex represents a unique temporally and geographically bounded technological phenomenon. Binford (1962) challenged the idea that copper tools were adopted by Native Americans solely because they were technologically more efficient. He argued that Archaic copper served a primarily socio-technic function based on two assumptions. One, that copper tools were more efficient in use performance than their stone and bone counterparts. And two, that the energy expenditure required for...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2019, members of the Florida Submerged Prehistoric Landscape Archaeological Survey and Heritage project (FSPLASH) tested photogrammetric methods on three submerged prehistoric sites in Florida. Photogrammetric methods have been widely utilized to interpret submerged historic sites; however, this has...

Through hands-on experiences on the North Shore of Massachusetts, college students and adults learned the basics in maritime archaeology during a field school program in the summer of 2015. Led by SEAMAHP (Seafaring Education and Maritime Archaeological Heritage Programs), the field school examined the "life-cycle" of a vessel, from its inception to its "after life" by exploring a working traditional shipyard, examining a floating tall ship and mapping shipwrecks on the foreshore. This unique...

This poster presents analysis of children’s toys from two features excavated during the 2014 field season at a nineteenth- and twentieth-century Texas-Alsatian homestead in Medina County, Texas. The features that we focus on in this analysis are a slack-lime pit and a well, whose depositions are largely comprised of 20th-century artifacts. Toys considered include clay marbles, a "Frozen Charlotte" doll, and a promotional Little Orphan Annie seal.  We address the socioeconomic status of occupants...

The historical record offers only brief references to the village of Sha’chahdinnih or Timber Hill as the last Caddo settlement in the traditional Caddo homeland. Unfortunately, not long after its abandonment in the early 1840’s, its true location was lost to historians. In 1998, the combined efforts of archival and field researchers succeeded in locating a site designated as 41MR211, and believed to be a possible location for Timber Hill. In the interest of confirming the identity and...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Texas Tribal Histories Project is an effort to create geographic historical narratives of tribal presence in Texas through collaboration with tribes. The narratives focus on the physical locations and specific time periods during which various tribal nations were present in Texas. These histories will reflect the tribes’ perspectives on the historical and archeological data that...

As part of its effort in World War I, the United States and its Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFC) began an aggressive shipbuilding campaign to counter the merchant shipping losses from Germany’s submarine warfare. Over 100 wooden ships were contracted in the Gulf District (the Gulf Coast west of New Orleans). Construction of these vessels was far slower than anticipated, and when the war suddenly ended, the country was left with a surplus of both complete and incomplete wooden ships. The EFC...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Medieval to Modern Transitions and Historical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological textile collections from the North Atlantic and specifically Iceland represent an important data-set with potential for shedding new light on issues of international trade between these remote islands and Northern Europe. Woolen cloth produced by women, along with dried fish, was one of the most...

Often unacknowledged in archival documents and recent historical research, enslaved women’s diverse roles in industrial contexts shaped antebellum Virginia’s infrastructure, economy, and culture. This paper on the Buffalo Forge iron plantation in Rockbridge County, Virginia, uses archaeological, documentary, and architectural research to illuminate enslaved women as active agents within the plantation’s complex built environment. Archaeological examination of yards around two extant quarters in...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper examines New Jersey’s war memorials with a focus on understanding how and why some conflicts are commemorated and others are overlooked. Memorials commemorating conflicts from the Revolutionary War to the Gulf Wars are examined. Particular attention is paid to two factors that drive commemoration, periodicity, e.g. celebration...

The boarding school system of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was designed by the United States government as a formal program to eradicate Native American cultural identities and lifeways. It was a system that removed Native children from their families and forced them into to a way of life that garishly clashed with their traditional beliefs and culture. One of the primary goals of the Cut Bank Boarding School on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning, Montana was to transform...

This paper explores the usefulness of employing theories of place in illuminating the nuanced experiences of Native children in the late 19th and early 20th centuries at Stewart Indian School in Carson City, Nevada. Stewart Indian School was established in 1890 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs with the goal of stripping surrounding Washoe, Paiute, and Shoshone children of their tribal identity through the imposition of Euroamerican education and vocational training. During the last two centuries,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Capitalism’s Cracks" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Perpetual economic and ecological crises, coupled with Marx’s loss of credibility have left many questioning whether any viable alternative is possible. While historical archaeology has done important work revealing capitalism’s destruction, exploitation and trauma, there is an inherent danger of perpetuating the idea of an...

This poster will outline the ten coastal fortifications that ring Cyprus. Using GIS this poster will show the line of site of these fortifications. The line of site will include the Mediterranean Sea. Using this data, it will be possible to extract distance from the shore, and from that it will be possible to calculate reaction time for the population to retreat inland during a raid. The Crusader Era was chosen specifically due to the fact that piracy and raiding was heavily present around...

The concept of an "Atlantic World" is a useful one for historical archaeologists because it provides a general geographic starting point for investigations that focus on the transformation of the world and the expansion of European imperial networks but defies strict physical, temporal, and cultural boundaries. As the limits of the known world expanded for Europeans and non-Europeans alike, its mysterious edges contracted, and people and places isolated from outside developments became...

Adena-Hopewell enclosure complexes have inspired much conjecture and some well-supported inferences concerning the rise of Middle Woodland ceremonialism, interaction, and social organization in the Eastern Woodlands. After examining Hopewellian interaction at Tunnacunnee in Northwest Georgia, Dick Jefferies turned his focus to Adena-Hopewell mound and enclosure sites in Central Kentucky. Dick’s examination of the Winchester Farm Enclosure in the early 1980s with George Milner was the first...
