How Firewood Access Structures Settlement Patterns (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Fifty Years of Fretwell and Lucas: Archaeological Applications of Ideal Distribution Models" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In desert environments resources are typically distributed heterogeneously. This variability required prehistoric humans to evaluate trade-offs over accessing spatially distinct patches. A potentially important and largely unexplored resource in these trade-offs is firewood. This work examines...
How Geomorphology Can Benefit Archaeology (2017)
This research demonstrates the importance of geomorphology in archaeological field observations and studies. To receive accurate and faster results of terrestrial sites, one must see the area in a geomorphic view. Just from recognizing geomorphic characteristics, one can see the patterns of how the environment has cultivated. Turning back chronologic time and being able to visualize how people lived in their environments is extremely important for any archaeologist. The everyday life of past...

How it Started vs. How it’s Going: The First Year of a Cultural Compliance Rule for New Mexico Trust Land (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The New Mexico State Land Office implemented a new Cultural Properties Protection (CPP) Rule on December 1, 2022. This statute mandated changes to a decades-long culture of “you break it, you buy it” regarding damage to cultural properties caused by extractive industry in the state. Implementation resulted in the identification and protection of hundreds...
How Long Did It Take to Paint Ancestral Pueblo Pottery? (2018)
One of the basic goals of ceramic analysis is to reconstruct the manufacturing process. The sequence of production may be easy to infer but the duration of each step is elusive. For instance, archaeologists have yet to devise a method for estimating how long potters spent painting vessels. In the American Southwest, Ancestral Pueblo potters seem to have invested considerable time in these pursuits. Drawing on ethnoarchaeological scholarship, Pueblo ethnographies, and experimental archaeology, I...
How Many Lead Balls Does It Take to Make a Battlefield? And Other Questions that Keep Conflict Archaeologists Up at Night (2016)

The LAMAR Institute’s work on these projects in Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina encompassed Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, and other conflict archaeology sites. Project areas lay in rural, suburban, and urban areas. Presenters examine the tangible successes of...
How Many Turkeys Did It Take to Make a Blanket? (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Current Research on Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Domestication, Husbandry and Management in North America and Beyond" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For a thousand years, turkey feather blankets were a standard part of Ancestral Pueblo material culture in the Central Mesa Verde (CMV) area. Investigating the "supply side" of blanket-making includes comparing the number of feathers needed for a blanket with the number...

How Revolutionary is Chinese Diaspora Archaeology? (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In this opening paper, I set the stage for the presentations and discussions that follow by examining the ways archaeologists of the Chinese diaspora have explored the topic of “revolution,” as defined in the conference theme. I draw on recently published literature and on an imminently forthcoming...
How Texas Volunteers Protect Community Heritage (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Site Stewardship Matters: Comparing and Contrasting Site Stewardship Programs to Advance Our Practice" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although there are many professional organizations practicing cultural heritage preservation, there is a group of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to protect their cultural heritage in Texas. For over 38 years, the Texas Archeological Stewardship Network has assisted the Texas...
How the Chinese Built Yosemite (And Nobody Knows About It) (2016)
Many of the nineteenth century roads that enabled Yosemite National Park to become a national treasure – Wawona Road, Glacier Point Road, Great Sierra Wagon Road, and the Washburn Road to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias ‒ were built by Chinese workers. Chinese cooks, servants, hotel employees, and farm/ranch hands contributed to the park’s tourist services into the early 20th century. Today, few traces of this Chinese presence remain: stone walls, roadbeds, bridges, and a handful of...

How These Pots Can Talk: Relevancy and Purpose of Archaeology in the Slave Wrecks Project. (2018)
Underneath the well-manicured landscape of Christiansted National Historic Site stood the center of Danish Caribbean commerce, the Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse. Through these doors flowed the lifeblood of the Danish colonial experience – sugar and slave. Since 2015, the National Park Service, as partners in the Slave Wrecks Project, has been conducting a community archaeological program that introduces archaeology and heritage management to local students. The goal of this...

How to Find the Unfindable: A New Method for Replicating Perishable Indigenous Technologies of Conflict (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Defining Perishables: The How, What, and Why of Perishables and Their Importance in Understanding the Past" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study provides an innovative multidisciplinary model operationalizing the study of perishable weaponry through experimental archaeology. In this model, I focus on war clubs, a type of Indigenous weapon commonly found across North America. Most of these weapons were made wholly...

How to Reduce the Boxes in your Laboratory and Produce Good Research: Archaeobotanical Analyses and Rehabilitated Collections (2015)
We have all heard the adage that "one hour in the field equals ten in the lab". It is proof of this saying that nearly every archaeological laboratory boasts an impressive collection of meticulously collected soil samples. Nearly every complex archaeological excavation has the potential to yield hundreds or even thousands of liters of carefully collected sediment, despite the excavator’s knowledge that the mass majority will never be analyzed. Archaeobotanists can find great research value in...
