Out From the Center: Rock-Art of the Chaco World (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer Huang.

This is an abstract from the "The Role of Rock Art in Cultural Understanding: A Symposium in Honor of Polly Schaafsma" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Chaco Canyon contains multitudes of petroglyphs and pictographs, yet rock art has not been a prevalent line of evidence in the archaeological study of that pre-contact culture. More than 15,000 Ancestral Puebloan elements attest to the importance of the role of iconography within the canyon. And the...

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Recovering Three Cemeteries From the Outer Boroughs (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Faline Schneiderman. Sara Mascia.

HPI studied the Northern Cemetery of the Staten Island Quarantine Grounds, where patients from the Marine Hospital were buried in the mid-nineteenth century. The stories of immigrant inmates and caregivers at the facility provide a glimpse of the desperation experienced by those confined within. In 1858, nearby residents burned the Quarantine buildings to the ground to rid the community of "pestilence" and "miasma" associated with the hospital. HPI disinterred intact and partial burials from...

Out of the Box: Thinking of Cemeteries as Collections Storage Facilities (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily A Williams.

When the archaeological community thinks of collections and collections based-research our minds frequently leap to serried ranks of boxes and the assemblages housed within them. It is less common for our minds to leap to cemeteries, yet the collections of tombstones located in them, cumulatively represent one of the largest datasets utilized by historical archaeologists. This paper considers whether a shift in perspective is needed. Instead of regarding cemeteries as landscapes replete with...

Out of the Dirt and Into the House: Archaeology and Decorative Arts Working Together (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary Furlong Minkoff. Teresa Teixeira.

Unlike other presidential house museums, Montpelier did not inherit a large collection of objects with clear Madison provenance. However, archaeology has been instrumental to reconstructing Montpelier’s story and is one of the only ways for us to know what objects were in the homes of the Madisons and their enslaved laborers. The Montpelier Foundation is currently in a rather unique position: not only are artifacts being unearthed daily, we also have the budget to actively seek out and acquire...

Out on the Porch: Evidence of Play on Idaho’s Frontier (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amanda C Bielmann. Mairee MacInnes.

The ideal child of the 19th century was seen and not heard, and today the lives of these children are often overlooked in the documentation of the past. They did, however, have a lasting impact on their surroundings in the American West. Recent excavations of a surgeon’s quarters at Fort Boise reveal insights into some of the earliest evidence of play in the state of Idaho. Artifacts unearthed from below the home's porch include toys and educational materials dating to the turn of the twentieth...

Outdated Outreach? Responding to Public Critiques of 21st-Century Online Community Engagement (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn L Sikes.

What assumptions underlie archaeologists’ interpretive strategies for the public dissemination of research results? Could we be more effective at descendant collaboration and public outreach by applying best practices drawn from related disciplines such as museum studies, oral history, and historic preservation? Perhaps it is time to rethink our choices of media, language, web platform, content, and target audience in response to descendant requests and public commentary. This paper presents...

Outreaching from the Gulf: Video Documentation of the Oil Spill Impacts on Deepwater Shipwrecks (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dennis I. Aig. Roshan Patel.

This paper will be written from the perspective of the ten years that passed between the 2004 Deep Gulf Wrecks study and the 2014 BOEM study of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill impacts on shipwrecks. What was innovative and unexpected in 2004 has now become expected in 2014. Dr. Dennis Aig, who headed the video unit in 2004, will discuss the basic protocols, now-primitive video equipment, and improvisation involved in the 2004 project to study the wrecks as examples of developing artificial...

Outside of the Reach of the Mission Bell: Tongva Ritual Practice on San Clemente Island (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elisabeth A. Rareshide.

The Mission Period in Alta California (AD 1769-1834) radically changed the lives of indigenous people such as the Tongva. Many Tongva people joined the Spanish missions, but some practiced rituals connected to the Chinigchinich religion on San Clemente Island. Patterns of consumption of native and foreign material culture may reveal new layers of meaning in persistent ritual practices. With a variety of ritual features, the Lemon Tank artifact collection from San Clemente Island provides a rich...

Ovens Aren't Just for Food: Experimenting to Determine the Materials Used in a 19th Century Spanish Oven (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jarrett Holsten. Katherine Brewer. Shannan Rael. Emmanuel Macias. Ashley Harris.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the summer of 2018, field school students from the University of New Mexico excavated historical ovens likely associated with the 19th century Spanish village of Tejón. During the course of the excavations, the field school undertook an experiment to determine the purpose of the historical ovens. The experiment was unable to be completed at that time, but...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stuart Rathbone.

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 Donner Pass Route through the Sierra Nevada has successively featured emigrant trails, a military survey route, a wagon road, the transcontinental railroad, the transcontinental telegraph, hydroelectric power stations and lumber mills connected to long distance box flumes, the...

Over, Under, Sideways, Down: Cave Shrines and Settlement in Southwest Prehistory (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Nicolay.

Although evidence for the use of caves and earth openings as shrines in the North American Southwest begins in the Pleistocene, this practice intensified greatly after the development of agriculture. Many of the region’s major shrines appear divisible into three categories: controlled shrines, to which access was restricted by surface architecture; contested shrines, which were located equidistant between two or more surface sites; and remote sites, which may have marked cultural boundaries....

Overall spatial pattern recognition in diagnostic Folsom artifacts from the Central Plains (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Williams.

This study investigates the overall spatial patterns in diagnostic Folsom artifacts from the Central Plains, including distributions of reduction stages and projectile point fragment types. Examination of the overall distribution of reduction stages reveals that Folsom and Midland projectile points are concentrated in western Nebraska and along the southern tier of Nebraska counties bordering Kansas. Folsom preforms were concentrated in western Nebraska, with approximately half of them found at...

Overcoming the Ambiguity of a Rock Pile: Their Examination and Interpretation in Cultural Resource Management Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Charity M. Moore. Matthew Victor Weiss.

Rock piles are some of the most ambiguous features encountered in cultural resource management, encompassing diverse origins and functions (e.g. field clearance cairns, byproducts of road construction, and Native American burials or markers). A single pile can appear to be consistent with multiple interpretations and each interpretation carries implications for how the rock pile is then recorded (or not recorded) and evaluated against the NRHP criteria. Drawing on recent fieldwork and case...

Overcoming the Silence: Uncomfortable Racial History, Dissonant Heritage, and Public Archaeology at Virginia’s Contested Sites (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Schumann.

This paper explores the use public historical archaeology at contested sites as means of, and discussing uncomfortable racial histories with multiple communities. Virginian’s colonial and Early Republic heritage struggle with giving a voice to non-Euro-Americans, acknowledge racial inequality, and attracting tourists. This struggle often results in silences that perpetuate structural inequalities from the past in the present. Drawing from my own research and experiences in Virginia, I argue that...
