This is an abstract from the "Coloring the World: People and Colors in Southwestern Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists working in the Southwest have consistently recovered examples of prepared paints, and the pigments used to make them, during excavation. These materials are usually present in relatively small quantities, though, so they tend to get noted in field reports and then lost within the archaeological literature....

By the end of the nineteenth century Plymouth Massachusetts had become a typical New England Town with an active industrial base and a vibrant waterfront.  With the decline of the textile industry Plymouth re branded itself by highlighting its unique history. This was achieved not only by highlighting the Pilgrim story but also by the removal of many aspects of its 19th century landscape. This paper addresses the changes made in the mid-twentieth century through neighborhood redevelopment.

This is an abstract from the "Community Matters: Enhancing Student Learning Opportunities through the Development of Community Partnerships" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Dairy Site, AZ AA:12:285 (ASM), was first recorded in 1982 in Tucson, Arizona and in the three decades since, many investigations have been conducted. The boundaries of the site have been ever-growing, now extend well beyond the 1982 limits, and thus far are not well...

Actualistic studies on vertebrate taphonomy have been focused on terrestrial mammals, and little is known about the taphonomic processes affecting marine mammals. Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals) exhibit an extensive fossil and archaeological record, the interpretation of which is often impeded by the lack of research on their taphonomic processes. We present the preliminary results of a taphonomic study performed in a modern breeding colony of Northern elephant seal (NES; Mirounga...

In the summer of 2013, the Ohio Historical Connection and Hocking Community College Summer Archaeological field school held joint excavations at the Pickawillany site, a British fur trading outpost and Miami Indian Village from the 1740s. During excavations, a stone pipe fragment, bearing a sun burst pattern was recovered. This poster examines this unique artifact and the contact in which it was discovered.

The Queen Anne’s Revenge Shipwreck Project has been ongoing for over two decades. While ample consideration has been given to potentially identifying those artifacts recovered from the wreck of Blackbeard’s flagship that represent a piratical signature, limited attention has been paid to extracting information from the historical record in regards to the material culture plundered by pirates from the prizes that were captured.  There is in fact much information revealed in the various letters,...

History’s most successful pirate, Captain Bartholomew Roberts, was killed by the British Royal Navy in 1722. The three vessels Roberts commanded were taken as prizes and sailed to Port Royal, Jamaica to be sold. However, after being in port for only two weeks, a hurricane struck Jamaica and destroyed more than 50 vessels in the harbor. Roberts’ 40-gun flagship, Royal Fortune, and the 24-gun consort, Little Ranger, were lost. The third pirate vessel, Great Ranger, was heavily damaged and sank...

Cahuita, Costa Rica is a secluded part of the Caribbean coastline where, historically, pirates hid away to escape capture and to restock their supplies. It was also an entry point to bring slaves into the mainland Spanish colonies. Two shipwreck sites, which have yet to be positively identified, are part of the attractions in the bay for snorkel tourism. The stories about the origins of the wrecks are very diverse, ranging from French and Spanish pirate vessels (Palmer 2005) to the Danish slave...

In the biblical sense, a "man of measure" is large, even monumental; he is a walking building, or walking sanctuary or human idol.  Pirates too could fit this description as their stature is measured in lore and legend.  But this paper focuses on the assemblage of specialized tools and equipment found on the sunken ship known as Queen Anne’s Revenge, Blackbeard’s lost flagship. These artifacts, recovered during the past 20 years, reflect an active engagement with measurements of all types and...

In the last half a century since Peter Gerhard published his seminal study titled Pirates of the West Coast of New Spain, 1575-1742, little research has been conducted on the historicity, materiality, and ethnography of these fascinating players in one of the most dynamic periods in Pacific history. We know that pirates engaged with Northern European merchants in systems of "trade." But how did they become so successful with so little infrastructure at sea? Prior to the establishment of Port...

Colonial North Carolina, 1663-1730, was a poor colony in the British Empire. The landscape provided opportunities for pirates to establish operational bases. Besides Edward ‘Blackbeard’ Teach, numerous others roamed the colony. This study explores colonial North Carolina use as a pirate haven, analyzing historical and archaeological data sets within the broader context of a maritime cultural landscape. Maps showing known pirate bases are overlaid with colonial settlements to determine geographic...

The discovery of a revolver in the privy deposits of a home in a coal company town in the anthracite region of Northeast Pennsylvania evokes a long history of Southern Italian racialization as violent and vindictive by dominating groups. These imagined characteristics mobilized the privileged to fear, and thereby act to contain or exclude Southern Italian laborers wherever they lived. At the same time a transnational context reveals complex historical continuities when considered through...

This is an abstract from the "Sacred Southwestern Landscapes: Archaeologies of Religious Ecology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For contemporary Pueblo people in the American Southwest, land, history, and religion are inextricably entwined. Historical events and religious beliefs manifest on the land at different physical and conceptual scales. Over time, places come to represent larger landscapes or philosophical concepts, effectively becoming...

Across cultures, the ritual use of water is nearly ubiquitous, yet most archaeological studies of water focus primarily on its socio-economic importance. The large (~200-1500 person) mesa-top Ancestral Pueblo (AD 1100-1700) villages of the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico are particularly good contexts for the archaeological study of water because small water storage features, often referred to as reservoirs, are found at many villages across the region. Alternative hypotheses for feature function,...

            Frontiers are creative, at times chaotic, places of the collusion and collision of ideas; as people encounter one another, as well as the geological and ecological forces of the physical environment, they forge spaces of meeting, interaction, dynamism, and change. These features are inherent to frontiers regardless of time period or geographic region. Having wrapped up the final year of excavations at the mining town of Highland City, Montana (1866-1890), I have compared the...
