Study of the depositional sequence at this archaeological site.


Streaking and Straight Pins: Constructing Masculinity on an Antebellum College Campus (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin S. Schwartz.

The myth of the "Southern gentleman" permeates the modern imagination of the historic American South. This archetype is simultaneously "other" and "normative": the concept is saturated in an air of mystery and deep, foreign tradition, yet is often set against studies of traditional American "others" such as women, immigrants, and enslaved peoples. Recent excavations at Graham Hall, an all-male antebellum dormitory on Washington & Lee University’s campus in Lexington, VA, have uncovered a rich,...


Streamlining the process: using handheld devices for in-field data collection on Ossabaw Island, Georgia. (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Black. Chad Caswell. Leslie Johansen.

The last few years has seen a rise in the development of tools and technology that enable the collection of archaeological data directly into electronic formats using handheld devices such as tablets and smartphones. These applications not only eliminate traditional paper collection issues but also decrease in-field collection errors and reduce post-processing times. This poster will focus on the utilization of Petroglyph, an application specifically developed for the first phase of a research...


Street Code: Working Out How Symbolic Artifacts and Features Are Used to Traffic Drugs (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Walter Dodd.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Sixteen years of ethnoarchaeological observation and collection has resulted in the creation of a massive data set relating to ongoing drug sales in an urban context. Hundreds of thousands of “trash” items have been gathered for study. They display strong repetitive patterning in their content and testify to the organized complexity of everyday dealing. A...


Streets of Royalty: African-American Music and Memorialization in West Baltimore (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lorin Brace.

Popular music heritage holds a meaningful place in public memory and in the construction of social identities. Sites associated with musical legacies that have significant meaning to a community are often memorialized to emphasize their connection with a particular place. This paper explores the relationship between music, heritage, and placemaking in the historic African-American neighborhood of West Baltimore, where decades of racism, economic decline, and failed urban-renewal plans have...

The Strength of Deep Ties: Obsidian Provenance Suggests Long-Distance Cooperation over Six Millennia in Numu Territory (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Randy Haas. Eric Dillingham. Debbie Lundy. Nicolas Tripcevich. Mikayla Rosario.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Scholars have suggested that economies of scale gained from cooperative hunting fueled the evolution of human sociality. This model anticipates inflated levels of cooperation during group-hunting events in comparison to other contexts. To evaluate this prediction, we examine the provenance of 395 obsidian projectile points from the large communal hunting...

Strike the Bell!: Creation of a Diagnostic Database of Known Early Ship's Bells (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Samuel M Cuellar. Filipe Castro.

Ship's bells have long held the fascination of laypeople and scholars alike. Despite this fascination, little information is known about the earleist ship's bells from the 14th through the end of the 17th century. While numerous archaeological examples do exist, these either lack provenance, are fragmented, or do not follow a standarized method for analysis, making diagnostic comparisons exceedingly difficult or impossible. Recognizing this problem, the authors have undertaken the creation of a...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Eric Heller. Benjamin Bellorado.

This is an abstract from the "Leveling Up: Gaming and Game Design in Archaeological Education and Outreach" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Virtual reality is a valuable tool for public engagement and education, offering an immersive platform for the exploration of archaeological and cultural heritage landscapes. While not a gaming endeavor, cultural heritage VR draws from 3D gaming technologies and techniques to create the platform at the heart of...

"A Stronghold Of Rebellion:" Confederate Defense Of The Central Gulf Coast During The Civil War (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jack Irion. Dave Ball.

When the South seceded from the Union in 1861, cotton was the currency they believed would fuel the war effort and bring Britain as an ally to the Southern cause.  Maintenance of two of the critical ports of the antebellum cotton trade, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama was key to the Confederacy's survival and ultimately to its failure.  Archaeological investigations at the site of the river defenses in the Mississippi River delta confirmed historical accounts leading to the fall of...


Strontium (Sr) Isotope Analysis and Provenance of Construction Wood at Wupatki Pueblo (NA 405), in Northern Arizona (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Mark D. Elson. Michael H. Ort. Kirk C. Anderson.

Strontium (Sr) isotope analyses of construction wood from the prehistoric Wupatki Pueblo in northern Arizona was undertaken to identify the source of the wood, given that Wupatki is located 20-30 km north of areas where suitable high elevation pine and fir trees are found. Unfortunately, due to the presence of high levels of blown-in dust, the Sr analysis of potential wood source areas could not distinguish between them, negating this research. A secondary goal was to investigate the possibility...


Strontium Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis of the Loma Sandia Archaic Period Mortuary Site of South Texas (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kristina Solis.

Models of hunter-gatherer territoriality are derived from the ethnographic record but have rarely been directly evaluated with archaeological data. Mortuary sites on the Texas Coastal Plain have long been thought of as a product of hunter-gatherer territoriality. Strontium stable isotope ratios from human tooth enamel can be used to estimate the origin of individuals and can evaluate evidence for territoriality. This paper will report the results of strontium stable isotope ratios analyzed from...


Structural Analysis of the Warwick  (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Piotr T Bojakowski.

 The remains of the Warwick are one of the largest and most coherent fragments of an early 17th century English ship. Notwithstanding the historical designation of the vessel as the "magazine" ship, the Warwick was far from being an ordinary freighter. As the analysis of its structurecontinues, it appears this ship was a finely crafted and finished vessel and a powerful fighting machine. It was built in a more traditional style, perhaps a style going back to such notable examples as the Mary...


Structural Considerations for Understanding Historical Tablet Weaving (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Goslee.

During the many centuries during which tablet weaving has been practiced, back at least to the 9th century BC, ever-inventive weavers have developed a multitude of complex techniques. Clear and consistent methods of describing the structural attributes of tablet-woven bands enable the historian and reenactor to communicate clearly. Relating structural attributes to potential methods of production allows both the accurate reproduction of historical bands and the recognition of subtle features...

Structural racism and archaeological practice - the archaeology of razed African American industrial communities. (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert DeMuth.

The coal company towns found throughout West Virginia and Central Appalachia were compact, racially diverse communities housing African Americans, white americans, and various european immigrant groups.  However, when the industry contracted after World War II, racial firing practices meant that many African American families were forced to leave the area. These newly vacant lots were often repurposed for further industrial use, effectively destroying the material record of many of the African...


Structure and Organization at La Ciudad (1987)
DOCUMENT Full-Text T. Kathleen Henderson.

The last decade has seen a quantum leap in our understanding of the Hohokam. From those first days of defining the Hohokam as a cultural entity, great strides have been taken in describing their subsistence and settlement systems, explicating core-periphery relationships, and modeling the processes of Hohokam development, expansion, and decline. And yet, the old adage “the faster we go, the further behind we get” seems particularly descriptive of the current state of Hohokam archaeology. While...


The Structure and Organization of Basketmaker III Field Houses at the Cottonwood Seep Site (1993)
DOCUMENT Full-Text David H. Greenwald.

Early settlement of the Cottonwood Seep Site consisted of small, informal pit structures and large jacal surface structures that were used on a seasonal basis for a period from approximately A.D. 500 until about A.D. 800. This paper examines the structure and organization of the Basketmaker III settlement, focusing on group organization, site function, resource availability, and environmental considerations. Unlike many of the surrounding Basketmaker III field house sites, the Cottonwood Seep...
