Frontiers are contingent and dynamic arenas for the negotiation, entrenchment, and innovation of identity. The imposing materiality of fortifications and their prominence in colonial topographies make them ideal laboratories to examine this dynamic. This paper presents the results of large scale excavations in 2011 and 2012 at the officers’ quarters and enlisted men's barracks at Fort Lane, a U.S. Army post used during the Rogue River Wars of southern Oregon from 1853 to 1855. I consider how...
Disrupting Pedagogies: Queer Theory in the Classroom, Field School, and Mentoring (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Gender Revolutions: Disrupting Heteronormative Practices and Epistemologies" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Over the course of our combined 16 years of teaching, we have implemented and tested a variety of exploratory techniques that embody the...

Distinct Types? A Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Paleoindian Age Mojave Desert Lake Mohave and Silver Lake Projectile Points (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Prior univariate and multivariate morphometric analysis of Paleoindian age Lake Mohave and Silver Lake projectile points from the Mojave Desert, California, revealed these types are distinguishable 80% of the time. Building on the prior study, we use landmark-based Geometric Morphometric (LGM) analyses and complementary non-LGM variables to assess whether...
Distributed Remains, Distributed Minds: The Materiality of Autopsy and Dissection (2018)
Excavations at the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery produced a large subset of burials showing evidence of autopsy and dissection. In addition to the osteological evidence of autopsy and dissection, these burials also contained broken equipment and medical refuse which reflect the medical, pedagogical, and medicolegal procedures in use at the turn of the last century. An incorporated study of these materials is necessary to examine the connection between the practical engagement with...
The Distribution and Provenance of Turquoise from Southern New Mexico, USA and Northern Chihuahua, Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Recent Research at Jornada Mogollon Sites in South-Central New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Compared to other regions of the Southwest, little is known about prehispanic turquoise acquisition and exchange in southern New Mexico and adjacent parts of Texas or in Chihuahua, Mexico. Here, we explore the distribution of sites with turquoise in the Tularosa and Hueco Basins as well as in northern Chihuahua. In...

Distribution of Artifacts at the Historical Campsite of Paraje San Diego (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The site of Paraje San Diego in south-central New Mexico was used for over three centuries as stopping point on El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail. While multiple historical sources identify this site as a "paraje" or campsite, we know surprisingly little about what travelers did at the site and where these activities took place. In 1994,...
Distribution of Biface Preforms (2012)
Biface staging follows Callahan (1979) with the addition of the following half stages: 2.5 and 3.5. A Stage 4 biface preform is considered Late Stage. Biface fragments were too incomplete to be staged.
The Distribution of Cowrie Shells in Colonial Virginia (2013)
Cowrie shells (Cypraea moneta and Cypraea annulus) have been found in historic contexts associated with African enslavement on New World sites in the Caribbean, the American South, the Middle Atlantic, and the Northeast. Historical archaeologists have come to see these tiny shells as generally indicative of African presence and as specific evidence of spirituality at the sites where they are recovered. In this paper, I examine the role of cowrie shells in the global economies of the 17th, 18th,...
Distribution of Debitage (2012)
"Debris" tabulates whole and broken flakes and pieces of shatter. "Core Fragments" are larger chunks of chert greater than 2.5 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm.

Distribution of Historic Sites, Mississinewa Reservoir Maps N.D (2012)
This resource contains a map draft indicating the distribution of historic sites in the Mississinewa Reservoir. This map is part of the Mississinewa Reservoir Maps N.D collection that consists of oversized maps of the Mississinewa Reservoir within Grant, Miami, and Wabash Counties, Indiana. The collection was received without any association to a particular investigation. The date of this image was not recorded. It is likely that this is due to the documents’ large size and cartographic...

Broken and whole endscraper tabulations are combined in the distribution "Total Endscrapers." The scraper and broken scraper categories encompass a variety of shapes and sizes, but all exhibit use wear. The distribution...
District 4 Material Pit (1981)
A material pit location was surveyed in March 1981. On the basis of the survey we found the 480 acre parcel to contain no cultural material whatsoever. We further recommend that this parcel be given cultural resource clearance on the basis of this survey. Should any prehistoric cultural remains be found at a later date, the NDOT Chief Archaeologist should be notified immediately.
Distrust Thy Neighbor: Examining Reservation Period Camps through Tribal Archaeology and Story Mapping (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Recognizing and Recording Post-1492 Indigenous Sites in North American Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The most recent history of the Seminole Tribe of Florida (STOF) and its settlement on Federal Trust land is little understood. Settling onto the various reservations in the 1930s, community members organized the layout and location of their camps based on sociohistorical beliefs stemming from a distrust...
Disturbed Rest: The Destruction and Commemoration of An African-American Cemetery in Haughton, LA—A Collaboration of Archaeology, Ethnology, Law Enforcement, and Community (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2010, reports surfaced of an African-American cemetery in the northwest Louisiana hamlet of Haughton having been destroyed by a white male seeking squatters’ rights on the property. Among the reported rumors were that a church and its cemetery had been bulldozed and that human remains had been dug up. Subsequent investigation of these reports by the...
