This is an abstract from the "Rethinking Persistent Places: Relationships, Atmospheres, and Affects" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. On the surface, French Post Park, a small, wooded picnic area and campground located on the south bank of the Wabash River in Carroll County, Indiana, may seem unremarkable. Covering about 5.4 acres, the park’s amenities consist of a small shelter, a few fire rings, a boat ramp, and a swing set. But, to the people of...
Places, paths and territories: Exploring the multifunctional nature of northeastern Ontario rock art (2017)
The rock art of northeastern Ontario is less well-known than its counterpart in northwestern Ontario. However, recent explorations of the numerous lakes and meandering rivers in the Canadian Shield have led to the identification of previously unknown sites, as well as to the proper documentation of previously known sites, thus increasing greatly the sample and allowing for the emergence of a more complex regional picture. As an example, the rock art of Temagami area is discussed. This large...
Placing Ancestral Pueblo Water Management Practices into Ritual Contexts (2018)
Across cultures, the ritual use of water is nearly ubiquitous, yet most archaeological studies of water focus primarily on its socio-economic importance. The large (~200-1500 person) mesa-top Ancestral Pueblo (AD 1100-1700) villages of the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico are particularly good contexts for the archaeological study of water because small water storage features, often referred to as reservoirs, are found at many villages across the region. Alternative hypotheses for feature function,...
Placing it on the Table...or Under It: Negotiations in the Saloons of Highland City, Montana and the Tavern of Smuttynose Island, Maine (2017)
Frontiers are creative, at times chaotic, places of the collusion and collision of ideas; as people encounter one another, as well as the geological and ecological forces of the physical environment, they forge spaces of meeting, interaction, dynamism, and change. These features are inherent to frontiers regardless of time period or geographic region. Having wrapped up the final year of excavations at the mining town of Highland City, Montana (1866-1890), I have compared the...
Placing The Past: Using GIS To Reconstruct The Maritime Landscape Of The Alexandria, Virginia Waterfront (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research at the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The town of Alexandria sits along the Potomac River in northeast Virginia. Established in 1749, Alexandria’s rich history spans over 250 years. During the late 18th and early 19th century, the waterfront underwent a drastic landscape transformation. To reconstruct the maritime landscape...
Plain Pots Do Travel: Insights into Mogollon Early Pithouse Period Pottery Circulation (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Local Development and Cross-Cultural Interaction in Pre-Hispanic Southwestern New Mexico and Southeastern Arizona" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ceramics in the Mogollon region, particularly the Mimbres Mogollon, have been the focus of numerous neutron activation analysis (NAA) studies to discern pottery circulation and social networks throughout the region. However, most of these studies have focused on the painted...
Plain Ware and Polychrome: Quantifying Perceptual Differences in Ceramic Classification (2018)
In the course of the NEXUS1492 project in the Caribbean we are interested in potential differences in the perception of archaeological ceramic sherds. A pilot study was conducted across four states in the US Southwest, to explore how different groups of peoples cognitively sift experiential information of ceramic sherds. In different sorting exercises, participants of the study were asked to arrange the sherds according to their perceived similarity based on standardized questions. The spatial...

Plan for Additional Data Recovery and Report on Monitoring of Demolition and Archaeological Trenching, Phase 2 Area of the Frank Luke Addition Project, City of Phoenix Housing Department (2012)
Archaeological trenching and the monitoring of demolition of existing structures in the Phase 2 area of the Frank Luke Addition project in the City of Phoenix has determined that the Hohokam site of La Ciudad, also known as AZ T:12:1 (ASM), extends into the proposed construction area for the Frank Luke Addition project. This report presents the findings of monitoring and trenching and a recommendation for a data recovery program to document register eligible resources that will be affected by...
A Plan for Archaeological Testing along the A-Mountain Drainage System (1995)
The A-Mountain drainage system is being designed by Parsons Brinkerhoff, Inc., for the City of Tucson to alleviate flooding in the residential neighborhood between A-Mountain and the Santa Cruz River. As part of the planning process, Desert Archaeology, Inc., performed an archaeological survey and archival study of the parcel of land on which the drainage system will be placed (Thiel 1993a). On the basis of this preliminary work, Desert Archaeology recommended that an archaeological testing...

A Plan for the Management of Archaeological Sites in the Tempe Papago Park Area (1988)
Papago Park in the City of Tempe extends from Tempe Butte northward across the Salt River bed into the southern portion of the Papago hills. The archaeological sites in the park are relatively small, but they represent both the Indian and Anglo occupation of the Salt River Valley, and span more than one thousand years of history (A.D. 800 to late 1800s and early 1900s). Excavations at two of the sites have produced artifacts dating to a) the prehistoric Indian period, b) the early historic...
