The Veterans Curation Program (VCP) utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "Patoka Lake Salvage Excavations 1980.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is four and a half (4.5) linear feet. All materials...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recent excavations of the mid-eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century Anthony Farmstead in Somerset, southeastern Massachusetts, yielded over twenty nine thousand period artifacts. A handful of these artifacts uniquely reflect the patriotism and political affiliations of the Anthony family and the region as a whole. Several members of the Anthony family were of military age during the...

The Tosawihi chert quarries of northern Nevada have played a significant role in the development of hypotheses by Great Basin archaeologists about pre-contact procurement and transport of lithic raw materials. Here, such hypotheses are tested using data obtained from ongoing investigations in the nearby Little Boulder Basin. These investigations have resulted in the analysis of chipped stone assemblages from dozens of site loci, which consist primarily of Tosawihi chert and many of which can be...

Over 50 unique transferprint patterns have been identified among the ceramic vessels recovered from James Madison’s Montpelier. Of these, the greatest variety of patterns are found within enslaved contexts. The variety and abundance of transferwares owned by enslaved people at Montpelier suggests that these pieces were selected for purchase because of their designs, rather than simply their availability or cost. While, decorative arts scholars and collectors, have recognized the use of...

A common issue of the Legacies on the Landscape project in the Perry Mesa region in Central Arizona is determining if the differences in the landscape are the result of prehistoric land use or if these differences in ecosystem structure represent a preexisting landscape patchiness that attracted prehistoric people to certain locales. This analysis investigates the settlement patterns of Perry Mesa as they relate to warfare and/or the perceived threat of warfare in the region. Perry Mesa...

This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Research by PaleoWest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations at the ranchería at Mission Santa Clara de Asís (CA-SCL-30H) yielded a large and well-preserved faunal assemblage. Using data from the analysis of these remains, this poster explores the domestic subsistence behaviors of the Native Americans who occupied the adobe structures at the mission. Although the predominance of cattle...

This is an abstract from the "25 Years in the Casas Grandes Region: Celebrating Mexico–U.S. Collaboration in the Gran Chichimeca" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Interregional interaction has factored prominently in debates about the origin and cultural trajectory of Paquimé since the site was first excavated six decades ago. In this paper, we use a bioarchaeological approach to reconstruct the structure and scale of migration at Paquimé to better...

This is an abstract from the "The Subterranean in Mesoamerican Cultural Landscapes" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During the field seasons of 2020 and 2021, the Cultural Resources Branch at El Malpais National Monument undertook an inventory of archaeological sites located within some of the monument’s more than 400 lava tube caves. While scores of caves containing cultural resources have been identified through an ongoing mapping initiative, few...

The design of ·the research hypotheses sampling, data collection and analyses, has made it possible to extrapolate for the region in general the transformations of the natural into the cultural landscape. The analysis of the pattern of settlement when evaluated in terms of the distribution of natural resources exposes many innuendos of prehistoric land use. While the utilization of resources is not totally dependent on demographic variables,(i.e., religious, social etc., norms can also program...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Strides Towards Standard Methodologies in Aeronautical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The aircraft of World War II (WWII) provide the largest volume sample in aircraft archaeology with potential to investigate broad patterns. These aircraft represent both combat and training losses. Over 10,000 total planes were lost over the UK during this period and over 7,000 USAAF aircraft were lost in...

We report here on the study of ancestral teeth retained after repatriation, with the permission and engagement of the Huron-Wendat Nation. We have documented temporal patterns in reliance on maize, as well as decisions about infant feeding. Significant differences between time periods before and after European incursions suggest concrete ways in which disruptions altered daily lives. Study of horizontal dentine slices from 74 teeth (35 deciduous molars, 39 permanent M1) from five communities,...

The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) Archeology Survey Team conducted four phases of archeological investigations on the Dan A. Hughes Unit of Devils River State Natural Area and adjoining areas of Amistad National Recreation Area from 2010 through 2014. Investigations on 6,949.7 acres of the Hughes Unit were conducted under Texas Antiquities Permit 5893; investigations on 99.3 acres of Amistad National Recreation Area were authorized by National Park Service Scientific Research and...

Report Abstract: In order to satisfy the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Public Law 89-665), a cultural resources survey was conducted on board the Patuxent River Naval Air Station (NAS) over a four-month period in 1981 and over 13 months in 1982-83. This multi-faceted study has included preparation of environmental, prehistoric, and historical overviews of the NAS area, and archaeological and architectural field investigations. This volume reports the results...

PROJECT Uploaded by: Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman

This project consists of zooarchaeological remains from the ancestral Muscogee-Creek site of Fusihatchee, identified at the University of Georgia. The data formed the basis of Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman's 2001 Dissertation. Site: The Ancestral Creek and Creek town of Fusihatchee (1EE191) is located on the Tallapoosa River in Alabama, and has both precolonial and colonial period occupations, allowing for diachronic analysis. These components include the Late Woodland (A.D. 1050-1250),...

Recent archaeological approaches to identity emphasize landscapes as dynamic arenas in which identities are communicated, generated, and negotiated. Focusing on several Cherokee heritage sites in Georgia and North Carolina, this paper examines the role of historical memory within place-based identity construction. Spatial expressions of identity within the landscape at each of these sites are examined throughout multiple periods of occupation. I trace distinctions in the ways in which Cherokees...

The USACE, Louisville District obtained the collection through an archaeological test excavation at the Paynetown Light Site in the Monroe Reservoir located in Monroe County, Indiana. In order to evaluate the archaeological significance of the site and assess its eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places, GBL performed the investigation under contract with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reservoirs. The investigation was prompted by continuing impacts to...
