What 35 Students Tell Us: Re-evaluating Traditional Field School Delivery Methods (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Warner. Katrina Eichner. Renae Campbell.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2019, the University of Idaho offered a field school in an alternative way – by having the field school incorporated into the regular academic year curriculum. With the cooperation of our registrar the class was folded into the regular fall semester class schedule. Four years later we did it again, resulting in 35 students enrolling in an eight week...

What About the Dishes? (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Diana Wall.

 After the Revolutionary War, the former British American colonies began the long process of cultural separation from the metropole in England.   This process affected many aspects of life, including the redefinition of gender relations.  Here, I use the changes in the acquisition, appropriation, and consumption of dishes, their contexts of use, and the styles of the dishes themselves to look at this post-colonial process.

What Are Our Options?: Assessing The Conservation Needs of Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site's Waterfront (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Hannah P. Smith.

Since 2010, the Cape Fear River has changed in unexpected ways, revealing a number of colonial-era wharves along the waterfront of Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site, near Wilmington, North Carolina. As a result, various groups have carried out research to determine the best course of action for this at-risk area. One particular study, a Master’s thesis, developed a research design for the waterfront.  While options for site location and excavation were discussed, this work focused...


What Are the Chances? Estimating the Probability of Coincidental Artifact Association with Megafauna Remains (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Madeline Mackie.

There has long been a debate about the frequency of megafauna hunting or dismemberment by early Paleoindians in North America. Proposed megafauna kill sites are heavily scrutinized. Sites which contain limited artifacts, but no projectile points are often discounted or classified as ‘possible’ kill sites due to their limited cultural materials. This begs the question, just how likely (or unlikely) are artifacts to be accidentally associated with megafauna remains? Using a computer model, the...


What are the Potential Effects of an Oil Spill on Coastal Archaeological Sites? (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott R Sorset. Mark A Rees.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL) have collaborated to determine the immediate and long-term impacts of an oil spill on cultural resources and archaeological sites in the coastal zone. Nearly five years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the immediate and long-term impacts of oil and dispersants on cultural resources and archaeological sites remain unknown. Concerns include effects that might diminish or destroy the site’s future...

What can pipe stem assemblages tell us about the relationship between natives and missionaries on Old Mission peninsula? (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Yvon G. Bergner-Gonzalez. Kerri Finlayson.

Archaeological analysis of mid-19th century pipe stem assemblages aids in interpretation of the chronology of an archaeological site as well as providing insight about the local economy and past life styles.  Various Henderson and Glasgow pipe fragments have been excavated from the privy at the Peter Dougherty site, a mid-19th century house where Reverend Peter Dougherty and his family resided from 1842-1852 with the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians of Old Mission Peninsula, located in northern lower...

What can we infer about family plots scatterings in a 19th Century Southern Georgia church grave site. (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Chuanyu Fu. L. Meghan Dennis.

 Through human history, the deceased have been buried, their bodies or representations placed in a space, most near their familial ties. Graves are not only places of rest but places to revisit the past and sanctuaries of still powerful affections. Why, in a 19th century Northern Georgia church gravesite do family plots of the same name scatter throughout different locations on the site, even within the same time periods? Why were the boundaries of the family plots physically set yet the...


What Can We Learn by Digging a Trench through a Hohokam Ballcourt? (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Leslie Aragon. Kate Vaughn.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ballcourts have come to represent the pre-Classic Hohokam more than any other architectural or artifactual class. These sizeable basin-shaped structures with earthen embankments were built at most of the large villages throughout southern and central Arizona between AD 750 and 1080. People watching or participating in the ballgame probably came together from...

The Burro Creek/Pine Creek archaeological survey northwest of Prescott, Arizona involved partnerships between Pima Community College and the BLM and private landowners in the area from 2003 to the present.

This is an abstract from the ""What Catalog System Do You Use?" Confronting the Philosophies that Prevent Standardization and Consensus in Archaeological Catalogs" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The resulting conversations typically cover dissatisfaction with different...


"What Color was Your Papa’s Coat of Arms, Again?" How a Central Valley Californian Community Remembers its ‘Post-War’ Landscape (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jarre Hamilton.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper moves away from the typical idea of “war” as a physical armed conflict or confrontation, but rather any physical manner or manifestation of modern-day conflict. I propose that the playing out of a racialized environmental-based conflict between the all-black town of Allensworth,...


What Could Possibly Go Wrong… Small Craft in Search of a Manila Galleon (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jack G Hunter. Brooke Basse.

The Baja California Manila Galleon shipwreck site location was established from analysis of onshore artifact distribution.  Increasing attempts have been made to investigate the offshore source of this material by utilizing magnetometry and the excavation of detected anomalies.  The magnetometer surveys went well and buried iron associated with the wreck site were buoyed and mapped.  However, investigation of the buried anomalies proved to be more difficult than anticipated, as they were found...


What Did It All Mean? Archaeology at The Hermitage in the 1990s (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian W Thomas.

This paper provides some reflections on the archaeological program carried out at The Hermitage over a seven year period, from 1990 to 1996.  Under the direction of Larry McKee, the program became a training ground for archaeology students across the country and beyond, many of whom are now accomplished professionals.  It also was a unique setting in which to engage the visiting public in discussions about archaeology and the community that was enslaved on the plantation, a community whose...


What Do All These Broken Things Mean? Collectively Interpreting the Archaeology of The Hill Neighborhood in Easton, Maryland (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Tracy H. Jenkins.

The Hill neighborhood in Easton, Maryland, is a place where people have come together over the past 200 years to fight slavery, racism, economic marginalization, and gender inequity.  These efforts are reflected in the archaeological record.  However, the legacy of earlier generations is threatened by decades of disinvestment and a tide of gentrification.  The Hill Community Project therefore aims to use research, public interpretation, and preservation to revitalize the built and social fabric...
