Proposed Historical Origins of the Tablita Dance of the Rio Grande Pueblos (2018)
The Tablita Dance, commonly known as the Corn Dance, is a well-known event among the Rio Grande Pueblos where, in connection with saint’s days, it is performed during the growing season. The corn dance may occur at other times as well, but without a linkage to the village patron saint. A number of diverse factors, however, indicate that this dance as known today is a post-Hispanic aspect of Pueblo ceremonialism. In addition to the dance’s obvious link to the Catholic patron saint of each...

This methodology seeks to understand the motivation behind previous management decisions and ascertain if the decisions are...
A Proposed Methodology for Elemental Analysis using portable X-Ray Fluorescence on Lead (Pb) Projectiles (2018)
As the field of battlefield archaeology continues to evolve, adopting new techniques and technologies, it is important that we as a community strive to collaborate, share, and develop standards for which to compare research. The introduction of pXRF technology to source lead projectiles, differentiating their country of origin by trace elements, was presented in 2014 and created a wave of interest in the technology. Unfortunately, this recent fervor has resulted in projects with varied...
A Proposed Methodology Using Buttons and Other Clothing Fasteners to Identify 19th and Early 20th Century Clothing Assemblages (2017)
Buttons and other forms of clothing fasteners are routinely found on 19th and early 20th century domestic sites. Typically these objects are analyzed and presented in summary tables by material type, occasionally by form, rarely by size and implied function. While signifiers of clothing – buttons, hooks-and-eyes and utilitarian studs are viewed in isolation and the clothing from which they are derived are not envisioned or interpreted. A proposed new methodology is to treat button assemblages...

Prosaic Biases: Independent Factors Contributing to the Definition of the Classic and Colonial Archaeological Record of New Mexico, USA (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Ann F. Ramenofsky: Papers in Honor of a Non-Normative Career" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological records are knowledge palimpsests of the research agendas responsible for identifying and defining these records. When evaluating the representativeness of these records, biases inherent to the research agendas themselves, ranging from methodological approaches to political considerations, are typically...
Prospects and challenges for high resolution 14C chronologies: New World and Old World investigations (2017)
This paper will present some current work in (i) NE North America (northern Iroquoia), (ii) NW Mexico, and (iii) the East Mediterranean-Caucasus using radiocarbon (14C) dates integrated with archaeological/historical and/or dendrochronological information to try to achieve high-resolution chronologies via Bayesian chronological modelling. The paper will discuss and investigate the potential to achieve much greater precision which, through defining new chronologies, can in turn be transformative...
Prospects for Dendrochronology and Isotopic (14C) “Wiggle-Matching” in the Southwest/Northwest (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Isotopic and Animal aDNA Analyses in the Southwest/Northwest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The contributions of tree-ring dating to American archaeology are well known but the benefits of the technique have largely been restricted to the uplands of the northern Southwest. While tree-ring dates have been successfully obtained from a handful of sites in the Southwest/Northwest, dendrochronology has been hampered in...

The increased wildfire activity in Western North America is endangering most if not all historic and prehistoric archaeological sites on American's public lands. This paper looks at how archaeologist can work with fire fighters during these emergencies to protect the most susceptible sites, historic structures and wooden buildings and structures to fire, and how to plan for such event and what steps are needed to best protect these sites during a fire event.
Protecting the Past From the Future: The Effects of Climate Change on Archaeological Sites in Louisiana's Coastal Zone (2018)
Archaeological sites around the world are threatened by the effects of climate change. Oceans are encroaching inland due to sea level rise, with daily tides and waves imperiling coastal archaeological sites. Inland torrential rains can lead to flooding and higher temperatures can lead to droughts that kill off vegetation, both of which can expose middens and other subsurface features to erosion. This paper will focus on Louisiana’s coastal zone; current impacts to archaeological sites from...
