Usable Aid: Refugee Resettlement in Post-Partition Delhi (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin P Riggs.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Previous archaeologies of socialism and the welfare state demonstrate how spaces designed by centralized authorities are often incongruent with the needs of individuals. This paper considers 1947 Partition refugee resettlement in Delhi as a contrasting example, one that exemplifies the potential effectiveness of government investment in public housing. Delhi’s colonies are unique...

This information was essential input to the remote sensing search planned and executed on the NOAA...


The Use and Cultural Importance of Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) on the NWC: An Example from Prince Rupert Harbour. (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Patton. Trevor Orchard.

Eulachon was an important resource for many NWC First Nations. Ethnographers such as Garfield and Boas note the particular importance of this fish among the Tsimshian. One of the primary eulachon spawning locations on the coast is at the mouth of the Nass River, north of PRH, and rights to fish at particular locations in this area were owned by Tsimshian descent groups. Access to this fish, its processing, and storage played an important role in structuring subsistence and settlement patterns,...

The Use of Dental and Skeletal Indicators to Predict the Age of Menarche from Juvenile Human Skeletal Remains (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Shera Fisk. Laure Spake. Luisa Marinho. Ellie Gooderham. Hugo F. V. Cardoso.

The onset of puberty, characterized by menarche in females, marks the important transition from the juvenile to the adolescent life-history stage. Limited research has been done to investigate the relationship between this transition and indicators of skeletal and dental maturation. This study examines the association between age of menarche and stages of skeletal and dental development seen in radiographs of the hand/wrist and dentition, using a sample of 33 females followed longitudinally in...


Use Of Electronic Diver Positioning In A Challenging Marine Archaeological Environment (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew D. W. Lydecker.

An important consideration in the excavation of an archaeological site is spatial control. Establishing provenience is particularly challenging in a harsh environment such as the Savannah River, where black water, high current, limited dive windows, safety constraints, and limited budgets do not allow traditional archaeological methods to achieve success in a project with the scope of the excavation and recovery of the CSS Georgia. The nature of the Savannah River environment dictates a more...

The Use of Place to Find a Person: A Hybrid Microhistory of Salubria Plantation, Prince George’s County, Maryland (18PR692) (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Bill Auchter.

An examination of an antebellum plantation in Prince George’s County, Maryland can be a case study into how to see a subaltern group (slaves) living within a dominant culture. To do this, three entities will be examined: a place, a slaveholder, and a slave. How are these three elements related and interdependent upon each other as a means to understand the elements individually and as a social group? All three elements occupied the same time and space but would often be described as three...


Use of Ultraviolet Imaging to Enhance Analysis of Incised Stone Artifacts (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rory Becker. George Holley. Jakob Jensen.

Monochrome ultraviolet (UV) photography provides a new method in the analysis of incised imagery on stone artifacts. In this study, the technique is used to enhance the interpretation of figures on a collection of finely incised catlinite tablets from the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota. The nine hand-sized tablets included here are commonly associated with the Oneota tradition, although these display designs rooted in Plains themes. These tablets are ideal for the method as...


The Use of X-Ray Fluorescence to Determine the Composition of American Glassware Artifacts: Analytical Methods and Chronological Insights (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Grace L. Gronniger.

The compositional analysis of American glass has untapped potential to shed light on the chronologies of historical archaeological deposits. This is due to a 1864 patent, which introduced the use of soda-lime glass to U.S. pressed glass manufacturers. By 1880, soda-lime glass displaced lead glass in this industry. Therefore, pressed glass tableware produced before 1864 contains lead, whereas pressed glass tableware produced after ca. 1879 largely lacks lead. This study demonstrates the use of...

Usewear and Assemblage Composition: The Role of Endscrapers in Paleoindian Technological Organization (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas Loebel.

Historically, microwear studies have focused around resolving issues centered on tool form and function. However, microwear also offers the opportunity to investigate site level activities surrounding "soft" technology, particularly in situations where organic preservation is poor or absent. In addition, when combined with a holistic approach to assemblage composition, microwear can provide larger insights into the organization of technology and larger patterns of adaptation. In this paper I...


Using a Landscape Approach: Case Studies in Section 110 Compliance in Military Installations. (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberly Smith.

Per Section 110 of the NHPA, federal institutions, including military installations, are required to identify and manage the cultural resources found therein. Funding to meet this requirement is typically limited and awarded within a yearly budget, allowing for disjointed surveys from one year to the next. The result is often recommendations based on a singular viewpoint of a site rather than a true reflection of the information the site can provide based on the regional setting and temporal...
