This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Our understanding of the Métis experience on the Canadian prairies during the latter half of the 19th-century can be considered fragmentary and is typically understood alongside a colonial narrative. Métis wintering sites were important features in the Canadian west where the role of women cannot be downplayed despite being rarely investigated. Current...
Stolen Treasure, Exotic Animals, and Stray Bullets – A Pathway to a Career in Archaeology?!?! (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Eyes up, folks! Archaeology is not just about what is on or in the ground, but instead is and can be so much more. When thinking of a career in archaeology – what happens if you are not an academic researcher, or if you cannot land a coveted full-time position at a cultural resources management firm? The purpose of this paper is to discuss those other “connected” options and to...

Stone Ornaments Used by Indians in the United States and Canada: Being a Description of Certain Charm Stones, Gorgets, Tubes, Bird Stones, and Problematical Forms (1917)
J. Whittaker: [Title tells it: bannerstones etc viewed as ornaments and “problematical,” but with a few more interesting notes. All outdated, but nice illustrations.] C.H.Forbes produced Latin names like ‘geniculate’ for classif system. Manuf by peck and grind, drilling. Bar, bird, and boat forms = amulets. Birdstones mostly OH,NY, IN, MI, WI, Canada. Prob pre-mound. Winged objects [bannerstones] important because often repaired, well made, with dead. Unfinished ‘bipennate’ reused as hafted...

A Stone Throw(n) Away: Examining the Interconnection between Identity and Division of Labor through an Evolutionary Analysis of Household Spatial Organization (2018)
This study examines issues of cultural change/continuity as embodied within a singular multi-generational housepit (Housepit 54) located within the Bridge River site in the Mid-Fraser Canyon, British Columbia, Canada. Previous research has focused on understanding the changing social dynamics at both a village and household-level, examining shifts from a more collaborative to competitive framework in response to external environmental pressures. As interpersonal dynamics within Housepit 54 were...
Stone tool reduction techniques (1985)
J. Whittaker: Killed goats with atlatl darts, noted breakage, morphological change when reworked. Claims point types not valid cultural/temporal markers because they can be changed with reworking! [Incorrect, because damaged pts are still reworked into forms current at the time of reworking. Well dismissed by Thomas 1986. The useful information in this article is the high damage rate, damage from animal motion (mostly bending fractures), damage to point bases, support for "Frison effect" of...

Stone Walls for Portuguese Pests: Swahili Landscape Responses to European Incursion on Zanzibar Island, Tanzania (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in the Indian Ocean" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Starting in the late fifteenth century, Iberian sailors plied deeply into Atlantic and Indian Ocean networks of exchange. They brought with them notions of Western European cities and city life. In turn, they built trading enclaves that referenced the plans, designs, and aesthetics of European urban spaces. This paper summarizes new...

The Stoneware from the Baja California Manila Galleon (2017)
Stoneware has long been held by archaeologists as a problematic artifact category. Stoneware is troublesome to date with any precision, difficult to source, and decidedly less flashy than even the most pedestrian porcelains. However, a study of the stonewares from the Manila galleon wreck site Baja California, in the form of sherds from large utilitarian storage jars, is an opportunity for gaining additional knowledge about the contents of a ship that, in the late sixteenth century, was in the...
Stopping A Rat-Hole: The Charleston Harbor Stone Fleets, 1861 & 1862. (2015)
In late 1861 and early 1862 Union naval blockading forces sank a total of twenty-nine whaling and merchant vessels laden with stones at the entrances to the two main channels at Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The navy intended for these underwater obstructions to prevent the passage of Confederate blockade runners from entering and exiting the port city. The two stone fleets did not result in the desired effect wished for by Union strategists, but the historical and archaeological record...
Stories from the Kitchen: Ceramic Analysis of the Belvoir Slave Quarter (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology and Analysis of the Belvoir Quarter" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The discovery and excavation of a brick and stone slave quarter provides a rare opportunity to study an artifact assemblage produced from the preparation and consumption of meals prepared by, and for, an enslaved community. This paper will present the types of vessels and decorations represented in the thousands of ceramics...
Stories Written in Stone (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Revolutionizing Approaches to Campus History - Campus Archaeology's Role in Telling Their Institutions' Stories" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When Leland and Jane Stanford bought the Mayfield Grange property in 1876, it was as a country home. Little was done to the house that had been built by George Gordon in 1864 until 1888, after the death of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., when extensive...

Story Maps, A New Public Archaeology Tool: Mill Springs Battlefield Case Study (2018)
ESRI Story Maps are a new strategy for combining geographic information with text, images and multimedia content in an easily shareable web interface. The technique is especially useful for presenting historic archaeology to the public, as archaeological and archival data can be juxtaposed to present a more complete story. In this presentation we will exhibit the story map created for the Beech Grove area of the Mill Springs Battlefield and discuss its potential as a public archaeology tool. ...
Story Maps: Utilizing the NHHC Arsenal to Tell the Navy's Story (2018)
As the repository and institutional memory of the U.S. Navy, the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) preserves, analyzes, and disseminates historically and culturally relevant resources and products that reflect the Navy's enduring contributions throughout our nation's history. Unique to the Navy among the Department of Defense, the Navy's history program, library, archives, collections, and museums are combined into one Command. Initially, the Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) began...
Straight from the Horse's Mouth: Understanding Public Archaeology from the Public (2018)
For the past two decades, archaeologists have worked to engage members of the public in archaeological research, preservation, and interpretation. Because of the huge variety in the types of publics engaged in these projects and the approaches of the archaeologists running them, we are continually refining our methods of public archaeology implementation, execution, and evaluation. Despite this variety, we rarely hear directly from program participants. For this panel we have invited public...
"A Strange Sort of Warfare Underground": Mines and Countermines on the Petersburg Front, 1864 (2016)
Petersburg, Virginia, is known for the mine explosion that destroyed a Confederate fort and initiated the Battle of the Crater. This was not the only mining effort on the siege line. Even before the July 30, 1864, explosion, the Confederate defenders of Petersburg constructed countermines in places where the terrain was susceptible to underground enemy approaches. The use of LIDAR imagery, map and photographic analysis, documentary research and field survey has revealed two extensive sets of...
Strategic Planning for the Web: Goals, Objectives and Tactics for Communicating Heritage (2013)
Archaeologists have been early adopters of digital technologies relative to other heritage-related professions. But how often are their online communications initiatives informed by audience-based strategic intention? The pervasiveness of online tools makes engagement ever easier, and as a result, a less meaningful measure of influence. Conversely, planning for digital communications is often an uncomfortable and intensive process that results in more effective online initiatives by clarifying...
