Thinking outside the map: Alternative approaches to data visualization (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lauren Kohut.

One of the more promising applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in archaeology is the potential to incorporate aspects of human perception and experience of the landscape. Visibility analysis has been applied extensively to archaeological contexts, and models of movement, acoustics and other sensory experiences have recently received greater consideration. But despite the promise of moving beyond measurements of geographic space, most applications of experiential modeling continue...

To Build or Not To Build: An Historical Archaeological Examination of Fort Louise Augusta and the Role of Sovereign Perceptions and Interests in the Construction and Maintenance of Danish West Indian Fortifications (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Schumacher. Miriam Belmaker.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Colonies, as discontinuous frontiers, may be more or less integrated into the homeland, resulting in distinct fortification patterns across time. The former Danish West Indies (DWI) was one such discontinuous frontier, separated from Copenhagen by more than 7,500 km yet a key part of the Danish economy. By examining changes and continuities in the...

To the Caribbean and Beyond: Complete Mitogenomes of Ancient Guinea Pigs (Cavia porcellus) as a Proxy for Human Interaction in the Late Ceramic Age (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Susan deFrance. Edana Lord. Michelle LeFebvre. Catherine Collins. Elizabeth Matisoo-Smith.

The Caribbean Ceramic Age (AD500-1500) was associated with increased interaction between the islands and mainland South America. The domestic guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) was introduced to the Caribbean post-AD500 through human transportation. Archaeological remains of guinea pigs are present on several Caribbean islands. This study used complete mitogenomes from ancient guinea pigs as a commensal model to identify likely human migration routes and interaction spheres within the Caribbean...


To the East of the Titicaca Basin: The Yunga-Kallawayas and the Inka Frontier (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sonia Alconini.

The Kallawaya region was an important imperial breadbasket of the Collasuyu, located to the east of the Titicaca basin. Formed by a set of narrow temperate valleys, this region was a natural corridor that led to Apolo and the Mojos savannas to the north, and to the east to the tropical Yunga mountains. Because of its marked altitudinal variation, this region was suitable for pastoralism, the production of corn and coca, and farther east, the exploitation of gold mines. The Inkas at their arrival...


Tokens of Oppression: Coinage at a Nineteenth-Century Galapagos Sugar Plantation (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ross W. Jamieson.

In the 1870s Manuel J. Cobos founded the El Progreso plantation agricultural operation on the Island of San Cristóbal in the Galapagos. It is known that he used "scrip," or company-issued cash, to force workers to only spend their wages at the company store. Archaeological recovery of hard rubber tokens from several plantation contexts brings up many questions of economics and labour relations surrounding this remote location which was also tied to the global economy through steam power,...

Highlighting recent investigations in which the...


Towards a Historical Ecology of An Alluvial Plain in North-Central Puerto Rico: Preliminary Geoarchaeological Results (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lara Sánchez-Morales.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Under the precept of Historical Ecology landscapes are considered artifacts where the mediation of humans over environments accumulates over time leaving traces of these relationships in the form of sedimentological and paleobotanical records. Alluvial plains in the Neotropics are among the most important environments where humans first settled, beginning the...


Towards a Nonlinear History of Lake Cocibolca, Nicaragua (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lucy Gill.

Traditional narratives within Nicaraguan archaeology, based on primarily ethnohistoric rather than archaeological evidence, have privileged the arrival of external actors from Central Mexico at the expense of indigenous developments and have emphasized imposed change rather than situated continuity. Especially given that as archaeologists, our primary sources are material culture, we should approach mobility from a materialist engagement with the flows and hardenings of matter, sensu Manuel De...


Towards the Development of a Temporal GIS for the Study of the Peopling of the Americas (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Damon Mullen.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Peopling of the Americas remains a provocative topic in both North and South American Archaeology. Speculation about who the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas were, where they came from, and how they got here, began the moment European explorers first encountered them. Current archaeological data and theory indicate humans had reached the landmass...
