Meaning beyond Capital: Life in a Twentieth-Century Mining Town (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As industrial economies developed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the push for ever increasing profits reshaped the social and economic landscapes of America. The landscape of the American Southwest in particular was marked by industrial towns that experienced great boom and bust cycles following the flow of capital. This poster presents the...
The Meaning Of The Offshore: The Role Of Islands In The Maritime Cultural Landscape Of Peru (2015)
The authors will present their research about the relationship of the islands to the mainland in Peru, emphasizing the islands role as sacred places, economic spaces, and harbors for oceanic crossroads. This paper will present the close relationship between the islands and the Andean mainland over time, from prehispanic times to present day, including a panoramic view of the role and value societies place on the islands located in the Peruvian offshore. Using written sources such as ethno...
The Meaning of Water: One Mountain’s Tale of Water Politics and Heritage in Northern New Mexico (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Jicarita Peak, a looming shoulder of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northern New Mexico, is a convergence of disparate peoples, cosmologies, and politics. The mountain is a crucial part of a vast watershed that extends from its 12,000′ slopes down to the Rio Grande and is home to Picuris Pueblo, North America’s oldest continually inhabited settlement....
Meaning, Networks, and Commodity Exchange: A Geographic Information System (GIS) Inter-site Distribution and Network Analysis of Wampum Beads (2015)
This paper will examine the role of wampum in the globally-connected western Great Lakes fur trade, with a focus on Fort St. Joseph, in Niles, Michigan, and the fort's position on the periphery of trade activities in New France. To explore wampum's spatial and temporal boundaries, I sampled data from the archaeological findings of historic sites throughout the Northeast and Midwest regions. GIS spatial analysis provided an alternate method of processing archaeologically-recovered and historic...
The Meaning, Value, and Purpose of Things: The Evolving Idea of the Archaeological Museum Collection (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Ideas, Ethical Ideals, and Museum Practice in North American Archaeological Collections" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In addition to being tangible heritage and a material cultural record of the archaeological past, archaeological museum collections are products of archaeological and curation practice during and after the time of their collection. Likewise, the laws, rules, and procedures that shape archaeological...
Meaningful Choices: An Archaeology of Selective Engagement on the 19th Century Irish Coast (2016)
This research explores the nature of marginality on the periphery of the British Empire. The edges of empires are shifting, culturally-negotiated borders with the capacity to disclose important information about social networks and cultural change. Households in these places are subject to transnational processes and make choices which demonstrate the presence and connections with broader global networks of economic and social access. This project focuses on the ramifications of national...
The Meanings of "Litter" in Yosemite National Park (2015)
The concepts of "nature" and "culture" have been carefully critiqued by anthropologists over the last few decades, but they still remain in the forefront of the public debate over the environment and how best to preserve it. The question of how modern people see the natural and cultural realms is at the heart of this issue. This project explores the line between these ideas by analyzing the behavior of one segment of the modern public: visitors to Yosemite National Park. Employing the...
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch: The Archaeology of Ranching in Arizona (2016)
One of the "Five Cs" on the Arizona State Seal, cattle ranching has contributed greatly to Arizona’s growth and prosperity since Father Francisco Kino first introduced cattle in the 17th century. Ranching continues to influence the economic and cultural heritage of Arizona today, with nearly 4,000 ranches spread across the state’s 15 counties. This session will briefly summarize the archaeology of Ranching in Arizona, with emphasis on the San Rafael Ranch. Formally established as a the San...
The Measure of Meaning: Identity and Change among Two Contact-Period Cherokee Site Bead Assemblages (2016)
Archaeologists have studied bone, shell, and glass beads for several decades, in search of their meaning among Native American cultures. The significance of these small artifacts among the Cherokee is evident in their mythology, personal adornment, and rituals. Thus, they represent an integral part of Cherokee cultural identity. Previous archaeological research at 40GN9, linked to the sixteenth-century Cherokee town of Canasoga located in Tennessee, demonstrated the predominantly shell beads...
Measuring Change in the New Mexican Early Spanish Colonial Period: A View from the Isleta Pueblo Mission Convento Fauna (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Ann F. Ramenofsky: Papers in Honor of a Non-Normative Career" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Spanish colonization of New Mexico unquestionably transformed indigenous populations, New Mexican environments, and the Spanish settlers themselves. The details of how and when these changes unfolded, however, have remained elusive, particularly in the Early Spanish Colonial Period (AD 1598 – 1680). Many of the challenges...
Measuring Success in the Jesuit Cause (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Jesuit Missions, Plantations, and Industries" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The site of Fort St. Joseph in southwest Michigan began as a mission in the 1680s when the Jesuits were granted a tract of land by the French crown along the St. Joseph River. For nearly a century a Jesuit priest tended to the souls of the Fort St. Joseph community. The presence of a marriage and baptism register testify to their religious...
Measuring Variability in Jaw Harps on Enslaved Sites (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During excavations of an early 19th-century quarter site for enslaved field laborers at Monticello, archaeologists have recovered four jaw harps. This high quantity stands in contrast to other excavations at sites at Monticello. This paper aims to contextualize this find. We trace temporal and spatial trends in the abundance of jaw harps in a sample of slavery-related sites in North...
Meat Economies of the Chinese-American West (2016)
Cuisine and diet are topics of particular interest to scholars of Chinese communities in the Nineteenth-century American West. Many zooarchaeological analyses have identified beef and pork among the main provisions for miners and townsfolk, and this paper will synthesize archaeological and historical evidence for food access and supply while exploring contexts of socioeconomics and cuisine which likely structured food choices. By focusing on both urban and rural sites to compare access and food...
The Mechanical Properties of Marine and Terrestrial Skeletal Materials. Implications for the Organization of Forager Technologies (2009)
The innate, mechanical properties of tool raw materials place ultimate limits on how the materials can be worked and used, thus affecting most facets of tool use-lives. Prehistoric forager groups such as the Alutiiq of Alaska's Kodiak archipelago constructed tools not only from stone, but also from a range of skeletal materials whose mechanical properties are not well understood. Laboratory tests were carried out to determine the material stiffness, strength, and toughness (fracture resistance)...
Mechanical Scanning Sonar: 21st Century Documentation of 19th Century Shipwrecks (2016)
The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM) has been exploring the use of mechanical scanning sonar systems for the documentation of the shipwrecks found within its waters. These technologies allow for fairly rapid recordation of 3D structures in limited visibility environments. The LCMM has deployed this technology on two canal boat wrecks to determine its effectiveness in comparison with traditional documentation techniques. This presentation will review the results of those studies as well...
