Evolutionary Change in Household Architecture, Settlement Patterns, and Subsistence Technology: A 4000 Year-Long Record from the Middle Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico (2018)
Evolution in domestic architecture, settlement patterns, and subsistence technology can be revealed by long-term stability followed by rapid change. Research in the middle Rio Grande valley of New Mexico documents a 4,000-year long record from 3000 BC to AD 900. Archaic period structures, dated 3000 BC to about AD 250, display little change in form, size, and construction details. Settlement pattern changes appear with the first midden deposits and increased numbers of dwellings with associated...
The Evolutionary Development of Technology in Archaeology: An Open Discussion (2018)
Technology has driven the innovative growth and progress in many different industries over time.

This paper will discuss the recent efforts to create archaeology content with measurable outcomes using education non-profit best practices to reach...
Evolving Native American Participation in the Excavation and Interpretation of a Tutelo Site in Ithaca, New York (2018)
In the 1990s, Cornell University students partnered with community members when service-learning courses were a fairly new concept for archaeological education. Native students participated in the excavation to locate a neutral Tutelo village that was destroyed in 1779 in a punitive military expedition by American forces. The Cornell team also worked in partnership with local farmers, property owners, developers, and town officials in Ithaca, New York. The site was open to the public and tours...
