‘no bastan los indios’ – the Chapel of Mission San Juan de Capistrano (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kevin Coffee.

This study investigates the chapel of Mission San Juan de Capistrano [San Antonio] from C18 through C20, and queries social relationships ranging from the initial organization by the Franciscans, their interactions with indigenous groups, the secularisation of the missions in early C19, neglect following secularisation, and reclamation by the Catholic diocese and the National Park Service. Two periods are of interest. One is the founding relationship between the Franciscans and the indios...


No Direction Home; Refining the Date of Occupation at Tikal’s 19th Century Refugee Village. (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only James Meierhoff.

In the latter half of the 19th Century, the ancient Maya ruined city Tikal was briefly reoccupied.  The frontier village was established some time before 1875, and had a maximum population of 15 households comprised of at least three distinct Maya speaking groups.  However, the site was again abandoned when archaeologists visited Tikal in 1881.  Most of the inhabitants were reportedly said to be Yucatec refugees fleeing the violence and upheavals of the Caste War of Yucatan (1847-1901) that...


No Fresh Water Except That Furnished by the Rains: Cisterns in Key West, Florida (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Bradford Botwick.

Nineteenth-century Key West was one of Florida's largest cities, an important port, an administrative center, and a host to U.S. Naval and Army bases.  Yet the island lacked natural fresh water sources, necessitating the use of cisterns to capture rainwater.  Recent exavation of three examples provided opportunities to examine cistern construction, adequacy, and water consumption.  Water use also had implications with respect to gender and class during the 19th century.  Water chiefly related to...


No Longer "Playin’ the Lady": Examining Black Women’s Consumption at the Ransom and Sarah Williams Farmstead (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nedra K. Lee.

Archaeological studies of race and consumption have linked black consumer behavior to the negotiation of social and economic exclusion.  While these studies have highlighted blacks’ efforts to define themselves after slavery, they have overlooked black women and how they used consumer goods to aspire towards gendered notions of racial uplift and respectability.  This paper examines the Ransom and Sarah Williams Farmstead, a historic freedman’s site in Travis County, Texas, to describe the nature...


"No lovlier sight": Tracing the Post-Emancipation Lime Industry on Montserrat and Dominica (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Samantha Ellens.

In the second half of the 19th-century, Montserrat citrus limes were world famous, appearing regularly in British advertisements and utilized in the global perfume and beverage markets. But the ways in which this industry impacted the lives of Montserrat’s formerly enslaved laborers has yet to be clearly understood. Preliminary research for a landscape survey of Montserrat, utilizing a comparative approach with Dominica, is presented. As in the case of Montserrat, lime agriculture on Dominica...

"No somos invisibles": Confronting Colonial Legacies of Racism in Narratives of Afro-Peruvian Cultural Heritage (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Claire K Maass.

In 2009, Peru apologized to its citizens of African descent for the discrimination enacted against them since the colonial period. Since this address, the government has instituted a series of initiatives to evaluate the state of the Afro-descendent population today. A key outcome of these efforts has been the expansion of Afro-Peruvian studies, an inter-disciplinary research program that aims to produce knowledge about Afro-Peruvian culture from a historical perspective. However, much of this...

Non-Local White Ware in Montezuma Canyon and its Implications (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashlyn Huggard.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In Montezuma Canyon, southeastern Utah, San Juan Redware is the dominant decorated ceramic type in ceramic assemblages dating to the late 800s and 900s (A.D.). In ceramic assemblages from the site of Nancy Patterson Village (42SA2110) that date to this time period, 26% of the sherds are red ware, and several lines of evidence suggest red ware was made at...


Non-Native Incorporation of Native American Technologies in Historic Period Arizona (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Garraty.

Numerous archaeological studies of European-Native American interaction in the Americas during the colonial and historic eras focus on the processes by which Native American households and communities procured and adopted (or resisted the adoption of) European technologies and material culture. Comparatively few studies have addressed instances in which non-Native households incorporated Native American technologies and material culture. Recent archaeological investigations in Tempe and Phoenix,...


Non-Reservation Reservation Era Post-Contact Archeology (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Eric T. Oosahwee-Voss.

What happens to the identity of indigenous people when they are raised in a tribal community but not within the boundaries of a reservation? The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma (UKB) are one of three federally recognized Cherokee tribes and are also known as the "Old Settlers" or "Western Cherokee." The UKB established a reservation in Indian Territory via treaty in 1828. Although the tribe never relinquished this treaty claim, today the United States government does not...

A North Shore Homeland: The Archaeological Landscape of the Ojibwe Village at Grand Portage, Minnesota. (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jay Sturdevant. William Clayton.

As co-signatories on the 1854 Treaty of LaPointe, the Grand Portage Band was placed on a reservation within their traditional homeland where they continued to maintain a tribal identify directly tied to Grand Portage Bay on Lake Superior. During the reservation era, the Grand Portage Band lived within a changing cultural landscape created out of the multi-cultural milieu that had existed since the arrival of the French in the 1660s. This paper explores cultural landscape aspects of mobility and...


The Northern Periphery of the Casas Grandes World: An Assessment and Update of the Animas Phase (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Thatcher Seltzer-Rogers.

In the 1930s through 1960s, several sites in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico were excavated to assess their role in a regional system that spanned across the international border. Many of these sites were characterized by their shared, mixed composition of architectural, ceramic, and iconography traits that did not neatly fit into established archaeological cultures. Subsequently, they became the basis of understanding for the northern Casas Grandes frontier, oftentimes termed...


Nostalgia and Heritage in the Carousel City: Community Identity and Creative Destruction (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Maria O'Donovan.

The "Carousel City" label for the Binghamton area stems from market "re-branding" for heritage tourism. The carousels were a gift from George F. Johnson, a welfare capitalist whose factories dominated the landscape until they were shuttered in the 20th century. They represent a material remnant of a prosperous, idealized past in a de-industrialized landscape. Archaeological research contests this idealized vision of the past and reveals the role of capitalist processes of creative destruction in...

Not Abandoning the Middle Place: Rethinking the Historic Tewa Pueblo World (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Samuel Duwe.

In the 1500s the settlement patterns of the Tewa Pueblo world fundamentally shifted. The Rio Chama valley was a population center with 12 villages housing thousands of people at the beginning of the fifteenth century. By century’s end it was nearly devoid of full-time habitation. The timing and causes of the protohistoric ‘abandonment’ of the Chama has sparked interest from archaeologists and historians. Was this movement out of the Chama the continuation of a centuries-long process of Pueblo...


"Not By Angels": Religious Place-Making in the Sonoran Desert (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jordan E Davis.

When the archaeological traces of migrant religion are encountered in the Sonoran Desert by journalists, humanitarian workers, and social scientists, they are often interpreted as static containers of human belief. Previous discussions of this type of material culture have highlighted the perpetuation of colonial discourses that continue to demarcate and enforce the borders of both religious and migration studies, including the privileging of Western, Protestant, and male comprehensions of...


Not Just Fun and Games: Hacking Archaeology Education (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Karen B Wehner.

21st-century communication technologies bridge previously unimaginable spatial, cultural, and ideological gaps, without providing young learners with the rational and emotional tools they need to participate in a global society. With its multicultural perspective on the human condition across time and space, historical archaeology is uniquely equipped to fill this void. But the current state of public education ensures that today’s youth are unlikely to get that opportunity, unless we bring it...


Not on an Even Keel: An Archeological Investigation and Interpretation of the Structural Remains of HMS Fowey (1748). (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joshua L. Marano.

One of the primary objectives of the expanded archeological testing of the HMS Fowey shipwreck site was to gather the information necessary to define the extent of future stabilization efforts at the site. Given the substantial loss of archeological material since the site’s initial discovery in 1978, the evaluation and documentation of the surviving intact hull structure was paramount. In addition to providing a thorough documentation of the archeological remains of the surviving structural...


"Not so strange farmers": Rural displacement, colonial agriculture, and economic precariousness in Siin during the 20th century (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only François G. Richard.

This paper uses the results of long-term archaeological survey and oral histories to examine the intersection of rural migrations, colonial rule, and economic impoverishment in the Siin region of Senegal during the 20th century. The Siin is today the theater of acute rural anxiety, a ‘peasant malaise’ carved by the combined effects of ecological crises, declining land productivity, degrading life conditions, and state withdrawal over the past forty years. These worrisome circumstances, however,...
