The Hidden Voice of Forests: Revisiting Archaeobotanical Legacy Collections from Southeastern U.S. Shell Rings (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Donna Ruhl.

This is an abstract from the ""Re-excavating" Legacy Collections" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees as a metaphor conveys that we sometimes cannot assess situations while we are in the midst of them. Archaeobotanists often report that the most ubiquitous plant type at a site is charred wood. But have we really assessed what these once trees represent: fuel, building remains, indirect evidence of food, or something...


High Elevation Petroglyphs along the South Carolina/North Carolina State Line (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Johannes Loubser.

This is an abstract from the "Technique and Interpretation in the Archaeology of Rock Art" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Long Ridge Road is the most complicated of 20 high elevation sites with similar-looking circular and meandering petroglyphs along the South Carolina/North Carolina state line. With the aid of drone photography a minimum number of 1,043 petroglyph motifs were recorded. Based on motif style and stratigraphy the site most likely...

High Perspectives, Vertical Context, Drastic Change: A Case Study involving the Application of UAV/Drone Technologies for Documenting Historic Coastal Archaeological Sites Adversely Affected by the Impacts of Climate Change in Three Opposing Regions of the World. (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Phillip T. Ashlock II.

The recent advancement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and affordability of Drone Technology has brought about the capacity for archaeologists to employ these new technologies as an effective means of documenting archaeological resources including historic sites specifically threatened with the immediate impacts of rising sea levels and climate change in coastal regions. This paper will provide an overview of new methodologies developed for Unmanned Aerial Archaeological Systems (UAARS) and...


High Place at the Water’s Edge: A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment of the Kiskiak Landscape (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica R Smith.

Coastal archaeological sites are threatened by a host of environmental change processes, including sea level rise, land subsidence, and shoreline erosion. The rates at which these processes have been occurring are increasing, exacerbated by climate change. This will cause further loss of archaeological sites and with them, the loss of knowledge of how coastal inhabitants lived and interacted with their landscape. My research assesses the vulnerability of prehistoric and Contact period Native...

High Resolution Chronology and Paleobiogeography of Bison and Pronghorn Occupation in Southeast Texas and their Implications for Human Paleoecology (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only August Costa. Jonathan Lohse. Stephanie Orsini.

Bison and pronghorn are taxa that have relatively high visibility in the archaeological record of the southern Plains. Understanding when bison and pronghorn were present in regions located in the southern Plains periphery is important for our general knowledge regarding bison/pronghorn ecology, climate, and environmental change in North America, as well as providing insights into human responses during these periods. Previous studies of the extent and timing of bison expansion into the southern...

High-Precision Chronology Building at Coastal Sites on California’s Channel Islands (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Chistopher S. Jazwa. Douglas J. Kennett. Lynn Gamble.

Using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) techniques and chronology building calibration software that incorporates Bayesian statistics, it is possible to establish high-precision chronologies for complex sites. This includes shell midden sites, which are common along coastlines in the United States and often contain multiple distinct strata. We present the example of SCRI-333, on the western end of Santa Cruz Island, California. At this site, we selected carbonized twig and marine shell...


High-Resolution 2D and 3D Imaging of the USS Macon Wreck Site (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Brennan. Megan Lickliter-Mundon. Bruce Terrell.

USS Macon, the last large Navy airship, was lost along with the biplanes it carried off the coast of California in 1935. The wreck site was discovered in 1990, surveyed in 1991, 1992, and 2006, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. Visuals of the preservation level of the crash site, especially the still partially fabric-covered wings of the biplanes, are incredibly valuable for public engagement with the site. At 1500 ft depth and protected by the Monterey Bay National...

Using modern baseline specimens as well as specimens from archaeological contexts analyzed via microscopy and...


Highbourne Cay Shipwreck Revisited: 2015 Field Season and Preliminary Assessment (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicholas C. Budsberg. Charles D Bendig. Samuel P Turner. Chuck T Meide.

Previous investigations on the Highbourne Shipwreck in 1986 revealed key construction features that were backfilled for preservation. In May, 2015, a team of archaeologists returned to assess the site, and to answer reflexive questions regarding the effectiveness of partial excavations and backfill techniques. This new examination includes a pre-disturbance photogrammetry model, and limited shovel testing along previously excavated areas. Preliminary results discussed within this paper indicate...

DOCUMENT Citation Only P. Nick Kardulias.

The Program in Archaeology at the College of Wooster has collaborated for over a decade with the Wayne County Cemetery Preservation Society (WCCPS) in an effort to help the group meet two primary goals: (1) to record all historical cemeteries in Wayne County, Ohio, including those with no visible grave markers; (2) to educate the public about the importance of cemeteries as monuments of family, local, and regional history. The joint research provides the WCCPS with a foundation of information...


Historic Cemetery Preservation in the Digital World (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Justin E Malcolm.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Technologies and Public Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Historic cemeteries are locations that contain a wealth of information about a community. However, over time much of this information is at risk of becoming lost. Whether this loss is due to poor record keeping or physical damage to grave-markers in a cemetery it is imperative that this information is preserved. By utilizing tools...


Historic Cherokee Settlements in the Arkansas River Valley (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only C. Andrew Buchner.

After the American Revolutionary War disrupted Native American groups were pushed westward, and among these were Cherokee who settled in the Arkansas River Valley beginning in the 1790s.  Their population peaked during 1818-1828, after which they resettled farther west in Indian Territory.  Archaeological evidence for the Arkansas Cherokee sites has been slow to come to light, because the sites were so briefly occupied and exhibit low artifact densities.  Additionally, because the Arkansas...

Historic Dumps and Scatters: Trash or Sites? (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Donald D. Southworth II.

Trash dumps and can scatters have been a thorn in the side of federal and state land management agencies in the western half of the United States. Over the last several years, this discussion on how to handle these sites has increased. While historic archaeologists have, to a limited degree, placed these sites in perspective, these activity features continue to be an issue for the various land management agencies. Often referred to as "isolated dumping episodes" or as "road trash," some agencies...
