Creating Context: How Developing Local Relationships Enriches Archaeological Knowledge (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Partners at Work: Promoting Archaeology and Collaboration in the Chiricahua Mountains" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While the Chiricahua Mountains are a part of the Sky Islands, Fort Bowie NHS and Chiricahua NM are not islands unto themselves--their rich archaeological past exists within the broader context of the landscape. In an area that has received little study compared to the rest of the American Southwest, it...
Creating Space for a Place: The River Street Public Archaeology Project (2016)
Community-based public archaeology projects seek to reclaim aspects of the past while addressing the needs and concerns of local communities. Sometimes this work places archaeologists in a position where we are forced to tack between the desire to conduct original research and the need to simultaneously navigate complex economic, social, and political constructs. All of this takes place in spaces, geographic, systemic, and paradigmatic, that both constrain and enable archaeological research. The...

The Creation of an In-House, Interactive, Bottle Identification Guide for Students (2017)
During the 2015-2016 school-year, the Lindenwood University Archaeology Laboratory undertook an extensive examination of bottles that had been recovered from our campus excavation project and a donated collection. The data were compiled into a spreadsheet that included manufacturer, date range of production, place of manufacture, and contents of the bottle when discernable. In order to assist future lab workers with the identification of common bottle types and their makers in the Midwest,...
The Creation of the New York City Archaeological Repository (2016)
Dozens of archaeological excavations have made important discoveries about the almost four-hundred year history of New York City and the people who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. In 2014, a climate controlled archaeological repository was established in Midtown Manhattan to appropriately curate the city’s collections. Previously, they were dispersed, often inaccessible, and kept in non-ideal conditions which meant they were often at risk and rarely used for research. Many...

Creative Continuity:Tradition and Community Reproduction on the Margins of Western Ireland (2016)
Local pilgrimage or an turas traditions in western Ireland provide a valuable opportunity to critique and nuance the common association of geographically marginal communities with cultural stasis. Emerging archaeological evidence suggests that modern pilgrims not only re-used older monuments, but also reproduced certain patterns of movement and memory initially developed for monastic liturgies in the early medieval period (c. 400-1100 CE). Such apparent long-term continuities of practice evoke...

A Creole Synthesis: An Archaeology of the Mixed Heritage Silas Tobias Site in Setauket, New York (2018)
Research on the Silas Tobias site in Setauket, New York has identified a small 19th century homestead with a well-preserved and stratified archaeological context. Documentation of the site establishes that the site was occupied from at least 1823 until about 1900. Based on documentary evidence, the Tobias family is considered African American, though the mixed Native American and African American heritage of the descendant community is also well-known. Excavations in 2015 exposed both...
Creolization in the Frontiers: Apalachee Identity and Culture Change in the 18th Century (2015)
By the early 18th century, the Northern Gulf Coast was a nexus of cultural exchange; home to many displaced native peoples. After the destruction of their homeland of Tallahassee in 1704, the Apalachee became dispersed across the American Southeast, contacting numerous cultures including the Creeks, several Mobile Bay and Mississippi Valley Indian groups, and French and Spanish colonists. The Pensacola-Mobile region developed into a cultural borderland which facilitated creolization and...

Crime and Criminality in 18th Century Virginia (2016)
The definition of a criminal has always been "a person who commits a crime," but the definition of a crime has been fluid through time. There are levels of severity of crimes and they all don’t carry the same weight in the justice system or in society. In Colonial Virginia, there were prisons in every county as well as a courthouse where the trials were held. This small conglomeration of buildings were at the heart of the county seat where the civil and social lives of the citizens flourished....

The Critical Role of Community College Field Training Programs in Today’s Archaeology (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The CRM industry is struggling to meet labor needs as funding from recent federal legislation increases the demand for CRM archaeology. The labor shortage is being felt at all hiring levels, from Field Technicians to Principal Investigators. The high cost of archaeological field schools and higher education in general are increasingly prohibitive for...
A Critique of ‘The Geniculate Bannerstone as an Atlatl Handle’ by Orville H. Peets (1962)
J. Whittaker: Experiments are NOT dead in archaeology. [Then gives trivial examples and acts as if experimentation is just to help classify artifacts]. How long did Peets spend on atlatls [Implying waste of time]. What did Peets prove? “Demonstrating an object can function does not mean a priori that it did so function.” [The last is true but otherwise an obtuse discussion which misses the point of experimentation entirely]. Artifact names may be useful even if not reflecting function....
CRM and Public Engagement in the Northwest United States (2013)
Cultural Resource Management, or CRM, accounts for most of the archaeology conducted in the United States but due to a number of varying factors such as budget, time, location, and legal constraints, public engagement initiated by private archaeological firms remains the exception and not the norm. The scope of work is often limited to adhering to the legal mandates prescribed to firms by federal and state governing bodies. CRM companies can take approaches to ensure that the public is informed...

Crossroads on the Coast: A Preliminary Examination of Bridgetown, Antigua (2018)
In 1675, the colonial English government passed a law that established six "trade-towns" on Antigua. The law required that all imports, exports, and intra-island trade be conducted in these towns to be assessed for taxes. Of the original six towns, all but Bridgetown and Bermudian Valley are still extant. The Bridgetown site is located on Willoughby Bay on the south-eastern side of the island. Local legend states the town was abandoned after a devastating earthquake in 1843, the inhabitants...
Crushing Traditional Hohokam Ceramic Typology: Grog Temper in the Early Formative Period (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Preliminary analysis of ceramic artifacts from Early Formative contexts at AZ T:12:70(ASM) (Pueblo Patricio) in Phoenix, Arizona, identified grog (crushed sherds) in addition to local tempering materials. Four sherds selected for petrographic analysis from radiocarbon-dated contexts confirmed the identified material is grog. Subsequent single-grain optical...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. At the turn of the century, the city of Tucson, Arizona, started an effort at a “kinder and gentler” approach to urban renewal by attempting to utilizing the regional archaeological research to reclaim a long neglected and decidedly non-Anglo chapter of the community’s past. Archaeological research was funded to provide the information needed to re-create...
CSS Georgia And Research That Preceded Mitigation (2016)
The Savannah District USACE and the Georgia Ports Authority are partnering to deepen and widen various portions of the Savannah River. As part of the associated permitting process, numerous archaeological investigations have been carried out by the District. A series of investigations of the remains of the ironclad CSS Georgia began following dredge impacts to the wreck in 1968. The following year Navy divers carried out an initial assessment of the wreck and in 1979 archaeologists from Texas...
CT Imaging and Radiocarbon Dating of a Gourd Container with Vertically Strung Olivella Shells: a Pueblo I Cache from Old Man Cave, Utah (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We report the findings from a study of a gourd container recovered from Old Man Cave of southeastern Utah. Strung, spire-lopped Olivella beads are visible on interior of the gourd, but sediment in and around the shells obscured the full nature of its contents. Computed tomography (CT) imagining allowed us to identify durable objects within the gourd in a...
Cufflinks, Quarters, and Consumption: An Examination of Adolescent Burials at Dubuque’s Third Street Cemetery (2018)
From 1833 to 1880, members of St. Raphael’s Cathedral, a largely Irish parish in Dubuque, Iowa, interred their dead in the Third Street Cemetery. After the Catholic burial ground fell out of use, the graves were forgotten. The cemetery was inadvertently disturbed by construction in the 1940s, 1970s, and 1990s, and most of the remaining graves were excavated by the Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist between 2007 and 2011. During this fieldwork, unique features were noted in several adolescent...
