Uncovering and Interpreting the Acequia Madre at Mission Santa Clara de Asís (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Linda Hylkema.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Roads, Rivers, Rails and Trails (and more): The Archaeology of Linear Historic Properties" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Urban archaeology is challenging, especially when discontinuous projects, separated by both space and time, affect the same linear resource.

Uncovering Evidence of Consumer Constraint in Archaeological Assemblages Using r-Matrices (2017)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Eric Schweickart.

The rapid increase in the cultural and geospatial distance between the individuals who produce household goods and the individuals who consume them which has occurred over the last few hundred years requires historical archaeologists to develop typologies which acknowledge artifact qualities which are meaningful to consumers as well as producers. In a previous SHA presentation, the author hypothesized that artifact qualities which only meaningful to producers should respond differently to...

Uncovering German Identity on the Colonial Virginia Frontier (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amelia Chisholm.

Archaeological excavations began during the summer of 2016 at Fort Germanna, an 18th century piedmont Virginia fort. The fort was built in 1714 at the bequest of Governor Alexander Spotswood to expand the western frontier of Virginia. Fort Germanna was only in existence for 4 years, from 1714-1718, and inhabited by German miners brought to Virginia by Spotswood to set up an iron mine. While building the research agenda for this project we consider how a German ethnicity and identity could be...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In May 2023, Michigan State University (MSU) construction workers installing hammock poles hit what they believed was a foundation or rock. They immediately contacted MSU's Campus Archaeology Program (CAP), directed by Dr. Stacey Camp. Ben Akey, the Campus Archaeologist at the time, examined historic maps and aerials, which revealed that the first...

Uncovering the Mystery of the Lamar-like Clay Objects (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amanda Hall.

For decades, stamped and plain clay objects recovered from post-contact Native American sites between the 1950s and 1990s in the Florida panhandle have puzzled researchers. The objects are believed to have been produced by the Apalachee Indians living in the region. However, little is known about the techniques used to manufacture them or what purpose they served. These artifacts are generally referred to as Lamar clay balls owing to some having stamped patterns similar to Lamar-like stamped...

Uncovering Tucson's Past: Test Excavations in Search of the Presidio Wall (2004)

DOCUMENT Full-Text J. Homer Thiel.

In March and April of 1998 and 1999, volunteers and archaeologists from the Center for Desert Archaeology searched for traces of Tucson's Presidio fortress. The project had several goals: (1) to determine if archaeological deposits survived in several areas around the perimeter of the Presidio; it was not certain if archaeological deposits survived years of construction, demolition, utility installation, and other ground-disturbing activities; (2) to locate portions of the Presidio Wall — the...

Under Fire: An Experimental Examination of Heat on Lithic Microwear Evidence (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashley Rutkoski.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lithic microwear analysis provides important insights into stone tool function by identifying various polishes, residues, and striations that ultimately represent microscopic evidence of how these tools were used. However, recent archaeological analyses have recognized an interesting pattern: burned lithic specimens do not appear to preserve microwear traces...

Under the All-Seeing Eye: The Archaeology of Native Californian Resistance at Mission Santa Clara (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lee Panich. Monica Arellano.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Surveillance: Seeing and Power in the Material World" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The façade of Mission Santa Clara de Asís features the All-Seeing Eye of God, a symbol that serves as a reminder of the omnipotence of the Christian God. This symbolism reinforces ample archival evidence that the Franciscan missions of Alta California—like Spanish missions elsewhere in the Americas—were strictly...

Under the Concretion: Examining New Evidence for H.L. Hunley’s Attack on USS Housatonic (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael P Scafuri.

On February 17, 1864, the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley detonated its spar-mounted torpedo against the hull of USS Housatonic, sinking the blockading ship several miles off the coast of Charleston, SC. While successful, this attack also resulted in the loss of Hunley. Recent conservation work on the hull of the submarine has revealed more details about the condition of the submarine and provided new clues about the causes and relevance of some of the damage found to the submarine. This paper...
