The Corps of Engineers is constructing a large power and flood control dam on the upper Chattahoochee River in north central Georgia. The dam site is located 3 1/2 miles from the little town of Buford and about 25 miles from Gainesville. From this point the reservoir area will extend up the Chattahoochee for about 35 miles, and a lesser distance along the various tributaries, occupying parts of Hall, Forsyth, Dawson, and Gwinnett counties. The dam is expected to begin holding water in 1955. The...
Approaches to Openness: Digital Archaeology Data in Virginia and Public Engagement (2016)
Virginia’s archaeological site inventory contains detailed information on nearly 43,000 sites in datasets maintained by the Department of Historic Resources (State Historic Preservation Office). At times, responsibility to protect sensitive sites from looting and vandalism seems to run counter to providing information to the public about Virginia’s archaeology. But the two are not mutually exclusive. This paper will explore Virginia’s historical approach to archaeological data dissemination with...
Approaches To Recording And Preserving A WWI Training Camp In Houston's Memorial Park (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Upon entering World War I the United States built 32 army training camps across the country. Most disappeared beneath commercial and residential development or were incorporated into permanent military installations. Archaeological investigations of WWI camps have been rare. Camp Logan in Houston is unique in that after closing, the city purchased the core of the Camp Logan property to...
Approaches to Sample Selection for Strontium Isotope Testing Within Historic Cemetery Contexts: An Illustrative Example from the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery Project (2017)
Strontium isotope analyses have become a vibrant frontier for historic cemetery research in the United States. Isotopic analyses can make vital contributions to our understanding of the past, particularly in the categories of demographics, temporal refinements, and individual identifications. This analytical method can be understood as a catalyst for research- similar to a catalyst in a chemical reaction. When utilized in combination with multiple lines of evidence, strontium analyses become a...
Approaching Monument Diversity in the Woodland Societies of the Central Scioto Valley (2018)
The Woodland societies of the central Scioto Valley are renowned for various aspects of their ceremonial practices. Among the better known are craft production of ornate works from exotic materials and the erection of vast monumental landscapes. Those construction practices led to monuments with an incredible diversity of form, scale, and organization. This variability is yet difficult to explain, with the existing explanations differing widely and being inter-related with various other social...
Approaching Past, Present, and Future Urbansims in Goa, India (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. What do we know of early modern colonial urbanisms in South Asia? Archival sources provide meta-narratives of the “rise and fall” of colonial outposts. This paper revisits these histories and the heritage management practices they engender. In Velha Goa, the former capital of the Portuguese eastern empire, the story of the city’s...

Approximate Bayesian Computation Evaluation of the Interactive Effects of Climate Change and Subsistence Economic Intensification on Precontact Population Dynamics in Western North America (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Global Perspectives on Human Population Dynamics, Innovation, and Ecosystem Change" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Past population change is connected to significant shifts in human behavior and experience, including landscape manipulation, subsistence change, sedentism, technological change, material inequality, and more. However, population change appears to result from a complex interplay of human-environment...
Aquatic Exploitation in the Lower Illinois River Valley: The Role of Paleoecological Change (1986)
Analyses of fish and freshwater mussel assemblages from the Koster site in the lower Illinois River valley provide corroborative data for independent geomorphic studies of floodplain evolution. Increases in riverine species of mussels occur at 7300 B.P. in the middle Middle Archaic at approximately the same time as the Illinois River ceased entrenching and began aggrading. Increases in quietwater mussels, bowfin, and bullheads starting around 5700 B.P. in the late Middle Archaic are coeval with...
The Aquatic Imaginary of Ancestral Tiwa Landscapes (2018)
In this paper, I explore Ancestral Tiwa rock modifications and linguistic conventions to identify what might be referred to as an "aquatic imaginary" governing Pueblo engagement with the northern Rio Grande landscape. The movement of water, it is argued, emerged out of a preceding Archaic preoccupation with the movement of animals as the dominant new way of both conceptualizing ecological systems and intervening in those systems through the organization and modification of stone. Evidence from...
Aquinnah Past To Present (2018)
The nineteenth century history of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head/Aquinnah is a snapshot of continuous Native American presence on Martha’s Vineyard over thousands of years. Residents were placed under state guardians in 1781. Between 1863 and 1878, communal lands were subdivided and distributed among tribal families, and a census of tribal members and professional survey of existing homesteads was completed. Aquinnah ceased to be an Indian reservation with town incorporation in 1870,...
