The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, in partnership with the Georgia Ports Authority, is proposing to expand the Savannah Harbor navigation channel on the Savannah River.  As designed, the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP) will consist of deepening and widening various portions of the harbor. Previous surveys identified the remains of the CSS Georgia, a Civil War ironclad-ram within the Area of Potential Effect, and as proposed, the SHEP would adversely affect this...

The National Park Service has recognized a need to identify submerged inundated prehistoric archaeological sites within the Florida Bay region of Everglades National Park (EVER) in order to further develop knowledge of its available cultural resources. Numerous archaeological sites have been found in terrestrial regions of EVER; however very little in known about buried, inundated, or submerged sites. Working in conjunction with RSMAS, a project was developed to identify the parameters necessary...

Skeletal weathering is rarely addressed in archaeological contexts, despite its importance to archaeology, and other fields of research. Experimental studies in taphonomy should be completed on regional scales, because changes in the microclimate will cause taphonomic agents to express differently on skeletal remains. This research quantifies and calibrates the skeletal weathering cycle for the southwest Llano Estacado region of eastern New Mexico, by placing faunal remains in full sun, shade,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. American Southwest zooarchaeological analyses have established that ancestral communities employed or interacted with a wide-range of species, with dietary focus on rabbits and deer. Working with Museum of Northern Arizona curated collections of previously excavated faunal assemblages from the Houck sites, this poster presents the preliminary data...

Recent excavations on the Arizona State University Tempe campus provide a glimpse into the early 20th-century Mexican-American neighborhoods of San Pablo and Barrio del Hoyo. Located next to the original campus grounds, San Pablo and Barrio del Hoyo were residential and commercial hubs of early Tempe. After World War II, urban development and renewal efforts by the university and land developers targeted these two neighborhoods for campus expansion and displaced their residents, quickly...

Beginning with the signing of the Treaty of Fort Jackson and ending with the forced removal of most Creeks on the Trail of Tears, the Tallisi Phase (1814-1836) was a period of tremendous cultural transformation for the Creeks of Southeastern North America. Historical documents suggest the most profound of these changes were alterations in political structure, domestic economies, and demographics. This paper examines the archaeological and historical records to evaluate the impacts of these...

The Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery (DAACS) Research Consortium facilitates collaborative scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, especially in archaeology, across institutional and spatial boundaries. The primary products of the Mellon Grant were a web-based platform for the existing DAACS database, as well as a comprehensive training session wherein institutional partners and research assistants learned cataloging protocols in a collaborative in-house...

This paper analyzes and compares ceramic diversity and small domestic artifacts from two domestic sites located at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello plantation. During the first quarter of the nineteenth century, one site was the home of white overseer Edmund Bacon while the other was the location of at least one quarter for enslaved African Americans. Analysis of artifacts recovered from plowzone enhances our understanding of how one of Monticello’s white overseers’ personal items differed from the...

In 2010, Dr. Kevin McBride from the University of Connecticut conducted an archaeological fieldschool at various archaeological sites associated with the Pequot War, which took place from 1636-1638. News of the archaeological survey illicted many diverse responses from interested parties and community members. As a result, students participating in the field school benefited from the opportunity to interact with descendant communities, property owners, and other interested publics. This brief...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper will investigate the presence of ash wood (Fraxinus sp.) in the context of burned pit houses of the Hohokam culture by comparing the botanical remains in burned pit houses to remains from unburned pit houses from previous data recovery projects in Arizona. To further understand the purpose of Fraxinus in burned pithouses, previous ethnobotanical...

The goal of this study is to integrate three types of data from the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery: (1) bioarchaeological signs of tuberculosis, both gross anatomical changes to the skeletal remains and DNA evidence of the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, (2) material culture, including the distribution of artifacts associated with Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery burials, and (3) historic documents that elucidate practice within these institutional contexts, particularly...

  Eroding farmland, diminishing forest stocks, sediments choking navigable waterways….these are environmental changes wrought, at least in part, by human decisions and human actions. In the present, these are highly politicized issues, providing thin veils to debates about ideology. Exploring environmental changes in the distant past creates a safe place in which dialogue participants have little or no vested interest and ideology a less prominent role. Public dissemination of archaeological...

Disseminating archaeological findings to the public is an important part of the discipline’s mission. However raw archaeological data are often difficult for a non-specialist audience to interpret. Including a mediating layer of information that helps the reader to understand the data can provide needed contextual information when presenting archaeological findings for a public audience. Developing and maintaining this additional interpretive content, however, can be difficult, especially for...

This is an abstract from the "From Collaboration to Partnership in Pojoaque, New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As someone who was born and raised in my own Pueblo, it amazed me how much I don’t know of the history of the Pueblo of Pojoaque. I’ve heard bits and pieces, different versions of stories from different people, and I’ve read about our history but none made an impact until I was part of a discussion at the University of Colorado,...
