This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The White Shaman Mural, a Pecos River style (PRS) rock art site located in a Pecos River tributary canyon, is dated from 2420 ± 80 to 1460 ± 80 RCYBP (radiocarbon years before present). At that time, prehistoric indigenous hunter-gatherers inhabited this semi-arid environment and traveled seasonally to obtain resources. Research indicates the mural represents...

Picturing a Storied Past: On Narrative and Photography at a Castroville, TX Archaeological Site (2017)
Often associated with the documentary record and prized for their historical relevance, photographs can be an invaluable instrument found within any historical archaeologist's toolkit. They help to illuminate and corroborate the material cultural remains we find within the archaeological record as they present to us their dramas through images frozen in time. It is in this phenomenon of storytelling that this paper puts much of its focus as it explores the use of historical photographs as an...
Picuris Ethnogeography (2024)
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. This paper explores the deep history of Picuris Pueblo’s commitment to its surrounding landscape through traditional knowledge of the meanings inscribed therein. We focus on both natural places (springs, mountain peaks, clay deposits) and cultural constructions (rock art, medicine boulders, race tracks, and other “shrine”...
Picuris History: A Native Perspective (2024)
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. The new research reported in this session builds on collaborations between Picuris Pueblo and non-tribal archaeologists that began in 1960s. In this opening presentation, former Picuris governor Richard Mermejo reflects on the long history of his tribe’s engagement with archaeology, his own vision of how future research might...
A Piece of Salted Snakehead and Its Implications for the Nineteenth-Century Chinese Diaspora Fish Trade (2019)
This is an abstract from the "One of a Kind: Approaching the Singular Artifact and the Archaeological Imagination" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeologists have traditionally relied upon large datasets to investigate historical fishing industries, the distribution of fish products, and the effect of fishing on the environment. Such studies make critical contributions to understandings of past fisheries; however, not all fish stories require...
Piecing Together History: Conservation of a Wool Coat from USS Monitor (2018)
On December 31st 1862, during the USS Monitor’s final hours, the ironclad’s crew discarded many personal items in its gun turret in preparation to crossing the deck and hopefully reach rescue boats. Recovered with the turret in 2002 through a joint effort between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Navy, these personal belongings are being conserved by a team of specialists within the Batten Conservation Complex at The Mariners’ Museum and Park (TMMP) in Newport...
The Pied Piper in Boston: A Zooarchaeological Analysis of Rats at the Unity Court Tenements (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology, Faunal, and Foodways Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 2016-17 excavations at Boston’s former Unity Court Tenements yielded an incredibly rich assemblage of 19th-century artifacts. These tenements, in operation 1830-1880, served the ever-growing and changing community of Boston’s North End, and it was expected that their excavation would uncover the complex material culture of those living...
A Piedmont Plantation (2013)
In Virginia, the majority of excavataions at early eighteenth-century plantations have been concentrated in the Tidewater region. Recently, however, more archaeologists are turning their focus inland toward the Piedmont. Established in 1723 by President James Madison's grandparents, Ambrose and Frances, Mount Pleasant is one of these early Piedmont plantations. For much of its occupation it was managed by a woman; Ambrose Madison died shortly after moving to Mount Pleasant, leaving his wife in...
The Pig Ankle Tonk Retrospective (2018)
The corner of Franklin and Customhouse in New Orleans was a lively place in the early decades of the twentieth century, but this was nothing new. The little commercial district had been bustling at least since after the civil war. This section of town was home to immigrants for decades prior to the official opening of the "tenderloin". The well known "honkey tonk" that would become the Pig Ankle had been the long-time home to Julia Gigoux, a French immigrant who ran a coffee house there for...
Pigment and Clay Variation in Polychrome Ceramics (2018)
This poster presents the results of a project that attempted to replicate viable paint and clay combinations employed to make Salado and Maverick Mountain polychrome ceramics. We know from NAA and petrographic studies that both of these painted ceramics were locally produced and widely exchanged in the Upper Gila region. Local clays and pigments, from the Gila River Valley, were used to show how effectively different pigments adhere to clay. The study also provided an opportunity to explore the...
Pigments and Paints in the Ancestral Pueblo Southwest (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Coloring the World: People and Colors in Southwestern Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists working in the Southwest have consistently recovered examples of prepared paints, and the pigments used to make them, during excavation. These materials are usually present in relatively small quantities, though, so they tend to get noted in field reports and then lost within the archaeological literature....
Pilgrim’s Progress: Neighborhood redevelopment and the historical landscape of "America’s Hometown" (2017)
By the end of the nineteenth century Plymouth Massachusetts had become a typical New England Town with an active industrial base and a vibrant waterfront. With the decline of the textile industry Plymouth re branded itself by highlighting its unique history. This was achieved not only by highlighting the Pilgrim story but also by the removal of many aspects of its 19th century landscape. This paper addresses the changes made in the mid-twentieth century through neighborhood redevelopment.

Pima Community College Excavation at the Dairy Site, AZ AA:12:285 (ASM) (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Community Matters: Enhancing Student Learning Opportunities through the Development of Community Partnerships" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Dairy Site, AZ AA:12:285 (ASM), was first recorded in 1982 in Tucson, Arizona and in the three decades since, many investigations have been conducted. The boundaries of the site have been ever-growing, now extend well beyond the 1982 limits, and thus far are not well...

Pinniped Taphonomy: Observations from a Northern Elephant Seal Breeding Colony Provide New Insights into the Taphonomic Processes on Pinnipeds (2018)
Actualistic studies on vertebrate taphonomy have been focused on terrestrial mammals, and little is known about the taphonomic processes affecting marine mammals. Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals) exhibit an extensive fossil and archaeological record, the interpretation of which is often impeded by the lack of research on their taphonomic processes. We present the preliminary results of a taphonomic study performed in a modern breeding colony of Northern elephant seal (NES; Mirounga...
