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. The expansion of the lumber frontier in the Great Lakes region was constrained by the ability to move lumber from wilderness to centers of production. Within a brief timespan, from A.D. 1870 to 1900 thousands of miles of rail were laid to access the timber of the northern interior of...
Railroads, America, and the Formative Period of Historical Archaeology: A Documentary and Photographic Investigation into the Historic Preservation Movement (2016)
The twentieth century, the formative period of historical archaeology, is marked by an ideological shift from the fervent consumerism and industrialism of the nineteenth century, towards a growing institutional concern for the nation’s finite natural and historical resources. A focused case study of twentieth century railroad stations highlights various themes pertinent to the discussion of the role of historical archaeology in the Historic Preservation Movement, which focuses on preservation...
Raising a Rafter: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Ancestral Pueblo Intensification of Turkey Husbandry in the Northern Rio Grande Region, New Mexico (2018)
Zooarchaeological research in the Northern Rio Grande shows that turkey husbandry became increasingly important to the Ancestral Pueblo during the Classic Period (AD 1350-1600). During this time, immigrant and local communities coalesced into increasingly larger villages and towns, with abundant evidence for turkey husbandry. Turkeys served as a critical resource for both subsistence and ritual uses. Yet, it remains uncertain at what scale (household, sub-community, or community) turkey...

Raising Port Royal: A Geospatial Reconstruction of the Colonial City in 1692 (2017)
When an earthquake struck in 1692, the shoreline of Port Royal, Jamaica, was interminably altered as the town fell to the sea. Using integrated GIS and 3D modeling, this project aims to reconstruct the pre-earthquake shoreline of Port Royal in elevated space. Historical maps and archival data are georeferenced to align the old shore with remaining features, allowing for an outline of the former area. From there, bathymetric data as well as archaeological excavations are used to extrude...
Raising The Bar: Archaeology Collections Management (2016)
The Fairfax County Park Authority’s museum standards and use of technology has changed over the years and we are currently reevaluating and improving our archaeology collections care. In spirit of this conference we are making a call to action: we are stressing to those working in archaeology collections the importance of good collections management. Without good collections management, field work, cataloging, researching, and artifacts can lose their original meaning, be insufficiently cared...

Rakita_The Mortuary Practices of the Casas Grandes Region: A Preliminary Database. (2011)
I present a preliminary regional database of mortuary practices for the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, Mexico. The reported prehistoric mortuary remains from the region are overwhelmingly drawn from the Paquime and Convento sites reported by Charles C. DiPeso and colleagues. Often overlooked, however, are several smaller samples that are reported with less detail. Given the complex nature of mortuary ritual from the region (especially in the late ceramic periods), the structure of the...
The Ralph J. Bunche Community Project (2018)
Built in 1930 in southern Anne Arundel County, Maryland, the Ralph J. Bunche Rosenwald-type school transitioned from a Jim Crow-era school to a community center after integration and a fight from the community to preserve the building and use it as a community center. The surrounding African American community still uses this building to celebrate its history and culture. The University of Maryland and Smithsonian Environmental Research Center partner with the center in preserving the school...

Range Limits: Semi-Feral Ranching in Spanish Colonial Arizona (2018)
In North America, the introduction of livestock as part of the Columbian Exchange had profound social and ecological consequences for indigenous communities. Historical ecology offers a holistic landscape approach to a phenomenon that archaeologically has often been viewed through shifts in diet and butchering practices. This study examines the creation of range practices at Spanish colonial Mission Lost Santos Angeles de Guevavi, near what is today Nogales, Arizona. Using multiple lines of...
Rations, Hunting, Fishing, and Farms: Pre- and Post-Emancipation Foodways on James Island (2018)
James Island, South Carolina is a place of intergenerational connectedness and a nexus of Lowcountry food culture. Many descendants of the agricultural plantations that once carpeted the island still reside in the area. Archaeological remains uncovered at Stono Plantation are analyzed and twentieth century oral histories of islanders are used in order to compare pre- and post-emancipation foodways. Preliminary findings are discussed.

The Ray Robinson Collection – A Successful Collaboration to Save Safford Basin Archaeological Artifacts (2018)
In 1957, Arizona State Museum director Emil Haury, ranch owner Ray Claridge and geologist/avocational Ray Robinson visited the Bonito Creek site in Arizona’s Safford Basin as reported by Wasley in 1962. Robinson returned to the site after that initial visit to "save" many objects that Haury did not take with him that day, along with "prospecting" other sites during the 1960s in the Safford Basin being threatened by development. For 59 years, Robinson preserved these objects along with limited...
(Re)Connections Through Time: Developing a model for multi-modal storytelling about Zuni Cultural Connections (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Native communities have long been excluded from the process of knowledge construction about their ancestral places. This exclusion has taken many forms: lack of voice or authority in museum excavations, curation, and exhibits; inaccessibility of collections that were removed from Native lands to geographically distant institutions or sold to collectors;...
(Re)Telling the History of Cleveland Urban Neighborhoods (2017)
Like many Rust Belt, Midwest cities, Cleveland has seen a large demographic shift over the last century in its urban neighborhoods. In many cases, the same street or city block has been shaped by the unique sociocultural practices and material arrangements specific to a range of different racial and ethnic groups. In this paper we focus on the 20th century history of two different downtown neighborhoods, Hough and Cedar-Central. We examine how the representations of urban space specific to...
Re-Cataloguing Artifacts from George Washington’s Blacksmith Shop (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The blacksmith shop at George Washington’s Mount Vernon has been the subject of six excavations between 1936 and 2007. Research and analysis of these excavations has primarily focused on reconstructing the blacksmith shop and specific blacksmithing activities. Despite the reconstruction of the shop in 2009, there remain significant questions about the daily lives of the enslaved...
Re-creating and Rethinking Pot Polish: The Taphonomic Implications of Cooking Fauna (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologically, the term "pot polish" refers to wear on skeletal elements resulting from cooking in a ceramic vessel. The active mixing, stirring, and rubbing of the materials within and against the vessel's abrasive interior leads to polished fragmented bones. Unfortunately, limited experiments have been conducted on this topic. Despite natural taphonomic...

Re-envisioning Mount Vernon: a digital reconstruction of George Washington’s Estate. (2015)
The role of the estate as providing support to the hinterland community during the Washington family’s ownership (c. 1675-1858) and prominence beginning with the MVLA’s acquisition of the property have defined community development, both past and present. Though much of the 20th century suburban growth has erased some of the traces of Mount Vernon’s landscape, features remain, from old roadways to 20th century worker’s cottages. The transformation from single-owner plantation, to small farms,...

Re-examining the Missouri River Fur Trade: Comparing Artifact Assemblages from Trade Post Collections (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Frontier and Settlement Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When a series of large dams was built along the Missouri River in the mid-twentieth century, large scale archaeological surveys and excavations took place in areas to be flooded. Collections associated with these archaeological investigations are stored in repositories across the country. New information can be extracted from these "old" collections...
Re-excavating the Highbourne Cay Shipwreck: The Converging Worlds Project Overview (2018)
The Converging Worlds project focuses on the presence of the earliest surviving shipwreck in the Americas; a shipwreck thought to be representative of the first vessels to routinely cross the Atlantic, the first to circumnavigate the globe, and the harbingers of the modern globalized economy we have today. However, amidst this Euro-centric perspective of events, these vessels were also the carriers of disease, mass enslavement, imperialism, and identicide. The Highbourne Cay Shipwreck in the...
Re-Indigenizing Mitigation Processes and the Productive Challenge to CRM (2018)
What is mitigation? By definition, it is reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of an event, development, procedure, or situation. As part of CRM mitigation processes, direct, indirect, and cumulative effects must all be identified in order to address any competent approach to and for mitigation. A key question must then also arise within any mitigation process – by whom is mitigation developed and implemented and for what and whose interests, concerns, benefits, and well-being? The...
