Oak Flat as a Traditional Cultural Property / Future Copper Mine (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nanebah Nez.

On January 25, 2012, the Forest Service sought assistance from the San Carlos Apache Tribe in evaluating Chi’chil bildagoteel (Oak Flat) as a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP). This request was motivated by a land exchange proposed to congress which would transfer Oak Flat, Forest Service managed land, to Resolution Copper Mine for purposes of ore extraction. Four years later on March 4, 2016 the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places officially designated Oak Flat a Traditional...

The Oak Forest Institution-Cook County’s 20th Century Poor Farm (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rochelle R. Lurie.

Built at the height of the Progressive Era on over 300 acres of land southwest of Chicago, the Oak Forest Institution or Poor Farm was to be an example for the rest of the nation. Buildings designed by the architectural firm of Holabard and Roche provided light, space and services for the poor, elderly and sick that reflected the era’s emphasis on fresh air, wholesome food, medical treatment (especially for tuberculosis) and relief from the vices and overcrowding of city living. Richly...

Object Entanglements in the Connecticut River Valley (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Siobhan Hart. Katherine Dillon.

We examine the material residues of 17th century Pocumtuck Indians to understand their long-term entanglements with others: kith and kin, ally and adversary, Native and non-Native. The Pocumtuck resided in New England’s middle Connecticut River Valley and were enmeshed in the Euro-Native exchange networks made possible by the river, its smaller tributaries, and well established trail networks linking Native and non-Native communities in all directions. We consider objects of copper alloy, stone,...

Objects and Voices: Conversations about artifacts, memory, and meaning with the former residents of Timbuctoo, NJ (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia G Markert.

Today’s historical archaeology places significant emphasis on the value and necessity of working with communities to create knowledge, and making that knowledge both useful and accessible to the public. Oral history has risen as a forefront method for this co-production of knowledge, allowing for voices beyond those of academics to be heard in the telling (and re-telling) of history. As historical archaeologists, we are just beginning to explore novel ways of incorporating oral history and the...

Objects past, objects present: materials, resistance and memory from the Le Morne Old Cemetery, Mauritius (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Krish Seetah.

The body of literature on slave artefacts and consumptive waste highlight the nuances and complexity of slave life-ways. Despite this, these represent small concessions traded against much greater losses, with the notion of ‘social death’ poignantly expressing a slave’s inevitable disconnect from ancestral practices. Allied to this, but fundamentally different, is the development of numerous syncretic belief systems that have their origins in a marriage between African and European faiths. Thus,...

Obligations and Opportunities of Old Collections, a Boston Perspective (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph M. Bagley.

The City of Boston Archaeology Laboratory contains nearly two-dozen archaeological assemblages totaling 2,000 boxes and well over 1,000,000 artifacts. The vast majority of these collections were excavated between 1975 and 1995, which poses a monumental challenge of re-cataloging, re-organizing, and re-analyzing collections that have defined the early history of Northeast historical archaeology. These collections also represent a great opportunity for students and researchers to examine...

Observations on Collaboration between O'odham and Hendrix Students (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brett Hill. Bernard Siquieros.

Historically, anthropologists have tended to treat Native Americans as subjects more than as colleagues. This tendency is in the midst of reorientation as Native people everywhere assert their interest in heritage through the modes of Western professional discourse. We have recently worked together on a collaborative educational project to bring together O’odham and non-Native students to consider heritage from multiple perspectives. Together, we visited museums, monuments, archaeological sites,...

Obsidian Fracture Resulting from Forest Fire Exposure (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anastasia Steffen.

This is an abstract from the "Fire-Cracked Rock: Research in Cooking and Noncooking Contexts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fire fractures in obsidian nodules and artifacts have been observed following several large forest fires at quarries, other archaeological sites, and geological deposits in the Jemez Mountains of north-central New Mexico. This presentation describes the characteristics of thermal fractures observed in this brittle material...

Obsidian Procurement in the Northern Tiwa Homeland (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Jorgeson. Matthew Boulanger.

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative Archaeology at Picuris Pueblo: The New History" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We present results of a large-scale geochemical sourcing study of obsidian artifacts from Picuris Pueblo. We compare those results to obsidian-sourcing data from other sites on the Taos Plateau and in the Rio Chama basin. At Picuris Pueblo, almost all obsidian artifacts were produced on Valles Rhyolite or Cerro Toledo...

Occupational History and Site Function at Two Sites within Montezuma Castle National Monument (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tara Friend. Michael Pitts.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Arizona’s Verde Valley represents a significant archaeological resource and was a prehistoric cultural crossroads. Despite this, the region has been relatively understudied. Archaeological interest and excavation has historically focused on the large pueblos in the region, while smaller habitation and resource processing sites have only received cursory...

Oceanographic Processes Relating to the Regional Variation of Shipwreck Preservation (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joshua Farrar.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Nuts and Bolts of Ships: The J. Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Laboratory and the future of the archaeology of Shipbuilding" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Shipwreck preservation varies based on the location of the shipwreck and materials of the ship itself. Biological, chemical, and physical processes all affect the in situ preservation of shipwrecks with differences in temperature, dissolved...

The Oconee River Wreck: The Discovery and Preservation of a Georgia Flatboat Timber (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alyssa Saldivar. T. Kurt Knoerl.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In June of 2019 two recreational fishermen notified the Museum of Underwater Archaeology about a piece of wreckage that had been pulled from Oconee River near Milledgeville, Georgia. The initial investigation suggested the 27-foot-long timber might be an early nineteenth-century flatboat. This paper will discuss the background research, investigation, and preservation plan currently...
