6,501-6,525 (8,223 Records)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Bronze Age in the Mediterranean has been studied extensively in the past by a variety of researchers, including both historians and archaeologists, simply because it is the time during which “civilization” first develops. Maritime trade was a key element in the development of civilization. This project identifies the regional trade networks operating in the Bronze Age Eastern...
Regional Settlement Patterns in the Colonization of Historical Landscapes: the New Acadia Project Archaeological Survey (2018)
In 1765 more than 200 Acadian refugees settled on the natural levees along the Bayou Teche in south Louisiana. Two centuries later, the descendants of the Acadians were recognized as having created a homeland known as Acadiana. The Fausse Pointe region where the Acadian families initially settled, however, presented an unfamiliar and difficult environment in an already inhabited landscape. The New Acadia Project has systematically surveyed portions of a ten mile segment of the Teche Ridge in...
Regional Synthesis and Best Practices for the Application of Geophysics to Archaeological Projects in the Middle Atlantic Region. (2016)
As geophysical surveys become more common and a standard procedure on archeological projects within the United States, the question raised is whether or not the methods and systems being used are appropriate for the questions being asked by the principal investigators. Therefore, a compilation of geophysical methods used during archaeological investigations and their results in the Middle Atlantic region, primarily those used on transportation projects, was conducted as part of the Route 301...
Regional-To-Global Trade Networks Reflected In Isolated Alaskan Gold Camps (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological excavations at a host of early-mid 20th century Alaskan mining camps over the past 25 years have provided a wealth of data on the influx of goods from local, regional, national, and international sources. This poster reviews changes in trade network patterns over time, as reflected in the archaeological record, relative to processes occurring at various scales of analysis...
Regionality and Relations to the State in the Andagua Valley, Southern Peruvian Andes (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Itinerant Bureaucrats and Empire" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the mid-18th century, spurred by recent Bourbon reforms and claiming years of unpaid tribute, Spanish colonial officials journeyed to the town of Andagua in the high Southern Peruvian Andes. Yet upon arriving they encountered firm resistance to their regional colonial authority that coalesced around the leaders of reputed ancestor cults, nearly...
Registering with the Past: A Review of the Army's Compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (1996)
The US Army Environmental Center (AEC) requested the assistance of the US Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC), St. Louis District, in determining the scope of the Army's compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended (16 USC 470 et seq., 36 CFR 800).

Rehabilitating America’s Forgotten Excavations: Case Studies from the Veterans Curation Program (2015)
Since the passage of historic preservation legislation in the middle of the twentieth century, the pace of mandated excavation has always exceeded the resources devoted to preservation and curation of our national heritage. Many of the archaeological projects conducted on public land have never been properly inventoried, preserved, or publicized. As a result, these investigations remain largely inaccessible to researchers, and they create an immense burden on repositories. In 2009, the U.S....

Rehabilitation Report, Demonstration Erosion Control Six Watersheds Phase I/II (2018)
The first step in the rehousing process is to obtain copies of cultural resource reports, artifact catalog sheets, and field notes pertaining to the collections from the St. Louis District archivist processing the archival collection. The analytical techniques employed by each organization to recover and process the collections were reviewed to gain familiarity with the previous archaeological work that had been conducted on the sites. Draft report chapters and a final report with site...

Rehabilitation Report, Upper Yazoo Project-2 (2018)
The MCX-CMAC utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Upper Yazoo Project-2.” This naming practice is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folder titles, and box labels. The linear extent of this collection is one (1) linear inch. The documentation for this collection was minimal,...

Rehousing, retreating, and re-evaluation: The Ronson Ship as both a Museum Collection and an Archaeological Asset (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Ronson ship was excavated from a New York City block in 1982. A portion of the vessel and its fill contents were recovered and transferred to The Mariners’ Museum and Park, in Newport News, Virginia, for conservation and eventual display, but in 1987 conservation was suspended. Recently, renewed interest in the collection and the publication of a book on the excavation and...
Reimagining Methods in Historical Zooarchaeology: Applying the Pathological Index (PI) to Historical Assemblages in North America (2016)
Since Bartosiewicz, Van Neer, and Lentacker published their ground-breaking research on the osteological identification of draught cattle, zooarchaeological studies of traction animals have proliferated. Whereas most of these studies draw from Old World assemblages, this research applies Bartosiewicz, Van Neer, and Lentacker’s (1997) methodology for assessing draught cattle to eighteenth-century assemblages from Drayton Hall, South Carolina, and Oxon Hill Manor, Maryland. In assessing the...
Reimagining Methods in Historical Zooarchaeology: Getting to the Meat of the Matter-Identifying Butchery Goals and Reconstructing Meat Cuts from Eighteenth Century Colonial Virginia (2016)
Faunal remains from archaeological sites are only the byproduct of meals, discarded after the meat has been stripped from them. A detailed butchery analysis is one way of thinking of bones as vehicles for meat, making it possible to link what was removed for consumption with what is found archaeologically. Seeking to reconstruct meat cuts is another way to get at not just what species or how much people were eating, but how that meat was conceived of, prepared, and served. Butchery analysis...
Reimagining Methods in Historical Zooarchaeology: Methods and Themes in Recent Literature (2016)
This poster exhibits a survey of recent (2000-2015) literature on historical zooarchaeology in eastern North America. Emphasizing studies of colonialism and cultural mixture, this survey evaluates ways that historical archaeologists use zooarchaeological data to investigate topics such as human impacts on environments, economic strategies, and the expression of social identities. By focusing on trends in analytical methods and the research questions posed by archaeologists, this survey...
Reinterpreting a Nineteenth Century Dairy Agricultural Landscape (2018)
Site 44FX0543, located in the western Piedmont region of Fairfax County at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, has had a long debated function by archaeologists and historians. A problematic interpretation of the site function as an enslaved African American dwelling dating to an unknown temporal period of ownership was the result of misinterpretation of landscape, previous archaeological investigations, and the likely misinformation gained through second-hand oral histories of the parkland. The research...
