Quantitative techniques for estimating age and sex at death are becoming more popular with the increased use of computed tomography scans and radiographs on forensic human remains. A gap in the research makes practical applications of post mortem imaging limited to those individuals whose time since death is known, as there has yet to be a parallel study examining changes in bone density during the post-mortem interval. This study examines archaeological human remains from the Milwaukee County...

Various forms of social interactions seem to have been adopted as risk-buffering strategies in the marginal agricultural environment of the Virgin Branch Ancestral Puebloan region. The olivine-tempered ceramics are widely distributed in this region and the sources of olivine are in the highlands near Mt. Trumbull and Tuweep. Thus, the presence of olivine-tempered ceramics in the lowland Virgin area indicates economic and social ties between the highland and lowland populations. This ceramic...

This is an abstract from the "Living Landscapes: Disaster, Memory, and Change in Dynamic Environments " session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Chaco Canyon is the center of one of the best known archaeological cultures in North America, and its influence spread widely across the northern US Southwest between AD 850 and 1150. Because of the well-preserved road segments, shrine networks, earthworks, and petroglyph panels associated with the Chacoan culture,...

Since its discovery more than 50 years ago the HIghborne Cay Wreck has been salvaged by antiquarians in 1966-67, partially excavated  by archaeologists in 1986, and  re-examined in 2017. The motivations, focus, techniques, and findings of each of these activities were very different and serve as examples of the evolution of attitudes and approaches to shipwreck archaeology in the Caribbean.

Until the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation revised its regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act in 2000, an undertaking that would destroy all or parts of a National Register listed or eligible archaeological site could be considered to not adversely affect the site if data recovery was carried out beforehand. This in spite of the fact that generally only a small percentage of the site was usually excavated, and the rest subsequently destroyed. This...

The nineteenth-century community of Warrenton, Mississippi, and its fortunes were inextricably linked to the changing courses of the Mississippi River. The town's position, only slightly higher than the river, provided an excellent steamboat landing for the import and export of goods, people, and ideas, but also made the town prone to flooding and disease. During Warrenton's vibrant occupation it was home to prominent residents including CSA President Jefferson Davis, shipped more cotton than...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the early colonial period of New Mexico (1598 - 1680), colonists steadfastly clung to their Spanish identity to uphold ethnic hierarchy. Certain crops, notably wheat, were important to the reinforcement of that identity, and the Spanish attempted to grow them despite environmental difficulties. After Spanish reoccupation in 1692, the goals of the Spanish Empire shifted to...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1541 the first recorded conflict between Chickasaws and invading Europeans led to the expulsion of Hernando de Soto’s army from northeastern Mississippi. Nearly two centuries later, the Chickasaws overwhelmingly defeated two French-led forces that aimed to destroy the Chickasaw Nation....

This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology, Faunal, and Foodways Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 18th century has often taken a back seat when it comes to the interpretation of James Madison’s Montpelier. Two sites near the mansion, however, offer a unique window into the lives of the Madison family in the transition from the 18th to early 19th century. The South Kitchen, one of six structures within the South Yard complex, is an...

This is an abstract from the "Transcending Modern Boundaries: Recent Investigations of Cultural Landscapes in Southeastern Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The earliest occupations of the greater Bears Ears area are represented by fluted, unfluted lanceolate, and stemmed projectile point technologies indicative of the Paleoindian period. Historically, this period has not been the focus of discussions pertaining to regional archaeological...

Countless studies have been conducted in reference to shipboard life.  Historians have often considered the daily diaries, journals, and correspondences of the individuals who partook of this lifestyle.  Meanwhile, archaeologists have considered personal chests of seamen, officers’ cabins, and personal materials scattered across wrecks, but few have considered personal property found with skeletal remains.  The reason for this lack of investigation is the preservation of materials.  Vasa is an...

Charles K. Landis (1833-1900), a Victorian Period lawyer and realator, was an important factor in transforming the landscape of southern New Jersey. Over a quarter of a century he founded (with Richard J. Byrnes) Hammonton (1857) and Vineland (1861), two successful new agricutltural communities, and in 1881, Sea Isle City, a Jersey shore resort. He attempted during this period to also set up his own county and county seat, Landisville, but that political goal failed. The impact of Landis and his...

Charleston, South Carolina, is probably best known as an urban center servicing a plantation economy supported by slave labor, but this is only part of the city's function. The city was an important social, political, and economic port on the Atlantic seaboard, a vital link between interior centers of production and the transatlantic world. Charles Town began as a thriving hub for the Native American trade, as well as for cattle and forest products. This trade connected rural homesteads and...

The lives of children enslaved on American plantations are poorly documented and often overlooked in the archaeological record. Excavations at the Hermitage have produced a large number of toys that can provide valuable insights into the lives of this understudied population. Over half of the toys in the DAACS database are from the Hermitage. This paper looks to compare the toys from the Hermitage to those from the other North American sites in DAACS to better understand why the Hermitage has...

Nothing makes the intentions and aspirations of a colonizing enterprise more apparent than the maps and charts of the spaces they seek to control, particularly their choices of which geographic and cultural features to represent or assign the power of a name. Because of the obvious value as primary documents, a small handful of maps relating to Virginia in the early contact period are used by historians, anthropologists and archaeologists to place and interpret sites and features on the...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recent excavations at Monticello’s South Pavilion provided researchers the opportunity to analyze faunal remains from fill which originated in the plantation’s first kitchen yard and environs. Preliminary analysis suggests food procurement on the site fits patterns seen in newly-established plantations across the Chesapeake region, in which the percentage of wild game brought to the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archeology at Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NRA) has primarily focused on areas where the Section 106 process has required survey such as areas subject to inundation from Lakes Mead and Mohave, as well as developed areas. This has led to only 5% of the 1.5 million acres that make up Lake Mead NRA being surveyed. Included in the previously surveyed...

Japanese-manufactured ceramics from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been recovered from a variety of archaeological sites throughout Western North America, but large collections and in-depth analyses of pre-World War II assemblages are still relatively rare.  As a result, standardized formal, temporal, and functional typologies are only just emerging and site comparisons are often difficult.  This paper presents a synthesis of ceramic data from three west coast sites...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The chaíne opératoire approach to lithic analysis has rarely been imported from the Old World and applied to analysis of New World lithic assemblages. However, that approach is appropriate for virtually any lithic technology, providing a structured methodology that shifts attention from typological studies to explicitly behavioral analyses, complimenting...
