The emergence of capitalism was a driving force in colonial Caribbean development.  The institutionalization of slavery, which sustained the economy was but one manifestation of the phenomenon. Environmental exploitation and degradation was another. The Caribbean is a patchwork of non-native plants, damaged ecosystems, transplanted cultures, syncretic identities, and subaltern economic systems, all of which are a legacy of policies that co-evolved with the emergence of mature capitalism as an...

From January to April of 1974, Wirth Associates, as part of a larger study team, conducted environmental studies for the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) on their proposed Coronado Generating Station. The purpose of these studies was to assess the potential environmental conflicts of the proposed 1050 MW generating station on the scenic, historic and land use resources of two alternate plant sites (near the towns of St. Johns and Snowflake, Arizona) and their...

Connecting specific site ecology, adaptation strategies, and location selection preferences for residential and mining resources at Death Valley National Park, the objectives of this study, are key tools that archeologists bring to the situation of climate change.  We use an ecological niche modeling approach that identifies bias as well as preference for site selection.  Specifically, the models output predict suitability and probability of where specific site types are situated across the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Woodpecker Cave is a Late Woodland rock shelter site in Johnson County, Iowa, and was the location of a field school operated by the University of Iowa from 2012-2018. During seven field seasons, over 25 kilograms of mussel shell were recovered; many of these were small, unidentifiable pieces found in screens. Shell hinge morphology is the key to identifying...

This survey was conducted at the request of 5th Army Headquarters for the purpose of assessing the utilization of government owned lands designated as reserve training areas. An effort was made during the conduct of this assessment to consolidate training requirements, proper natural resource management (AR 420~74) and environmental consideration as set forth by the National Environmental Policy Act 1969 (PL 91-190). This survey is being conducted by reserve officers with training as...

This is an abstract from the "Interactions across the North American Midcontinent" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Indigenous culinary and pottery traditions were in flux during the Woodland and Late Precontact periods (200 BC–AD 1600) of the Northern Great Lakes. Shifting social relationships are indicated by changing pottery distributions and the increasing stylistic influence and presence of nonlocal wares, particularly Iroquoian styles from...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Capitalism’s Cracks" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Slovenian Marxist philosopher, Slovoj Zizek has observed a curious paradox within western pop culture and society that “it’s much easier to imagine the end of all life on earth than a much more modest radical change in capitalism.” This paper presents an archaeological case study for imagining alternatives to living in...

This is an abstract from the "Sacred Southwestern Landscapes: Archaeologies of Religious Ecology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We develop a hypothesized cosmography in an attempt to evaluate the sacred landscapes of the Casas Grandes cultural tradition of northern Mexico. This analysis includes attention to the relationships among archaeological features and aspects of natural geography in the Casas Grandes region. We draw on previous research...

Prehistoric farmers in the semi-arid American Southwest were challenged by marked spatial and temporal variation in, and overall low levels of, precipitation with which to grow their crops. One strategy they employed was to modify their landscape with rock alignments in order to concentrate surface water flow on their fields. A second challenge that has been less focused on by archaeologists is the need to maintain soil fertility by replenishing nutrients removed from the soil by agricultural...

This is an abstract from the "Urban Erasures and Contested Memorial Assemblages" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As urbanism emerged in the United States so too did contemporary forms of homelessness. Urban homelessness, a phenomenon defined by transience and ephemerality, is omnipresent within the modern urban landscape. Homelessness is an issue few politicians dare to address and a "social problem" that no one seems to be able to clearly...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The city of Detroit’s population quadrupled from 285,000 people in 1900 to nearly a million in 1920. This growth created enormous demands on the city’s infrastructure and its ability to provide residents with basic services. Access to clean water was vital to the health and quality of life of city residents. This research uses material culture, historic documents, and Geographic...

The introduction of Equus caballus (modern horse) into North America during European-American contact altered Native American life on the Plains. The horse influenced a variety of cultural practices including the distance at which resources could be exploited, the amount of material goods that could be transported and war practices. Considering the importance of the horse it should be expected that horse remains would be prevalent in the archaeological record. Despite the impact of the horse on...

Although founded as a religiously tolerant colony, early colonial South Carolina was deeply divided between Anglicans who fought to establish the Church of England and dissenters who opposed it. In 1706, the Church of England did become the official established religion of the colony, yet tensions continued. However, these religious differences were less important in the colony’s southern frontier parishes where white settlers had other concerns, namely from neighboring Native American...
