This is an abstract from the "Social Justice in Native North American Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In North America, American Indian communities are engaging with archaeology in two distinct, and sometimes intersecting, ways: one is by working with governmental agencies in complying with local, state and federal laws meant to protect and preserve their cultural heritage, the other involves engaging with their cultural heritage...

Party on the Plaza: Risk and Resilience in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century New Mexico (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Advances in Macrobotanical and Microbotanical Archaeobotany Part 1" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Spanish colonial efforts in New Mexico began in 1598 with the establishment of a capital in Santa Fe, as well as missions, ranches, and farms. Documents from the early colonial period (AD 1598–1680) are rife with colonists’ concerns about the New Mexican environment, indicating struggles at the household scale to...
The Passadumkeag Sequence (1975)
Renewed excavation at the Hathaway site revealed that there were no fewer than five temporal components at the mortuary locus of the site. Previous excavators, Warren Moorehead in 1912 and Wendell Hadlock and Theodore Stern in 1947 led those investigators to conclude that there was only a single component. Two of the components at Hathaway are assignable to the Late Archaic period, and parallel similar components at the Cow Point site in New Brunswick.

Passionate Work: Communities of Care and the DU Amache Project (2017)
Working at Amache, the site of a WWII era Japanese American incarceration camp, involves several facets of an "archeology of care." First, over five field seasons the University of Denver Amache Project has revealed significant physical evidence of how these displaced people took care of themselves, their families, and their neighbors. Both artifacts and landscape modification speak to many caretaking strategies. Second, the project creates space for the care of stakeholders through opening up...

Kimley-Hom and Associates are under contract with the Williams Gateway Airport Authority (WGAA) to provide services for design of the reconstruction and extension of Runway 12L-30R. A number of archaeological sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) extend within the construction zone. Therefore, WGAA was required to take into account the potential for its undertakings to affect those archaeological sites under the terms of its lease agreement with the Air...

Past Particles: Palynology at Poverty Point (2024)
This is an abstract from the "*SE Not Your Father’s Poverty Point: Rewriting Old Narratives through New Research" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The first pollen work at Poverty Point was conducted by Sears at the request of Ford and Webb in the 1950s. Since then, more evidence has been collected, leading to alternate interpretations of the site and resolving some matters while raising new questions to explore. This paper reviews palynological...

PastPerfect Design Software: Engineering the Virgin Branch Ceramic Typology in a Digital Age (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Currently, there is no single, easily accessible source for researchers studying the Virgin Branch ceramic typology. The absence of such a source makes it difficult for researchers to consistently type ceramic artifacts. One solution to this problem is making access to these typological collections more accessible by utilizing the internet. This research...
Patents, Peaches, and Perseverance: The Homestead-Era on the Pajarito Plateau (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Beginning in the 1880s, Euro- and Hispanic-American homesteaders expanded from either the Rio Grande Valley or the eastern United States onto the Pajarito Plateau in northern New Mexico. In 1943, the US Army/Government displaced these groups in preparation of the coming of Manhattan Project scientists. While journals and documentary accounts from visitors and descendants provide insight...
Paternalism and Changing Perceptions of Enslaved Individuals (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Before, After, and In Between: Archaeological Approaches to Places (through/in) Time" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The paternalism movement as it relates to the institution of slavery describes the trend of treating enslaved individuals "well" with the aim of convincing them that staying with their captors is their most appealing option, thereby reducing rates at which those individuals ran away rom the...
A Path Forward: Casa Grande as Metaphor (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Why Platform Mounds? Part 2: Regional Comparisons and Tribal Histories" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Two of the most iconic cultural symbols in the American Southwest are the O’odham Man in the Maze and Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. In this paper I illustrate a possible connection between them that might resolve some of their enduring mystery. From the merging of these symbols, a new perspective on the...
A Path Less Traveled: An 18th-Century Historic Archaeological Context as Alternative Mitigation of the Reedy Island Cart Road Site (2016)
The alternative mitigation for the Reedy Island Cart Road Site envisions a historic context that will provide a capstone synthesis for evaluating the significance of 18th-century archaeological resources in southern New Castle County. During the U.S. Route 301 project the Reedy Island and Bohemia Cart Roads have emerged as important archaeological features; the cart roads link heretofore unrecognized 18th-century resources, mainly small dwelling and nucleated farm sites, to a trans-peninsular...
The Path of Hua’m A Nui: Aggrandizement among the Classic Period Phoenix Basin Hohokam (2017)
O’Odham oral histories describes the overthrow of Hua’m a Nui (Yellow Buzzard) and other arrogant rulers of platform mound villages in the Phoenix Basin. These oral histories are consistent with archaeological data that point to increasing social stratification during the Classic Period. This paper addresses the question of how the household-based egalitarianism of the Preclassic developed into Late Classic hierarchy. Leveling mechanisms that previously channeled aggrandizers into socially...

Patience and Perseverance: Six Years of British Assaults on French Canada (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Hudson River in upstate New York formed a strategic military corridor between the North American British and French colonies for centuries. In the 1750s, it was the setting for multiple British expeditions moving north to contest the French coming south from Canada via Lake Champlain. Because the fighting was seasonal, as were the garrisons of the forts and storage depots, the...
