Referencing the Archaic on a Woodland Landscape on Florida’s Northern Gulf Coast (2018)
During a period of uniformity in ceremonial practices, coastal dwellers of the Lower Suwannee diverged from the architectural norm. Although these coastal people were under the larger influence of Woodland-period traditions, their construction efforts continued to follow ancestral ideals in the form shell rings and ridges. Here I argue that differences in terraforming practices along Florida’s Northern Gulf Coast were a citation to a revered and observed local history formulated by natural...
Refined earthenware ceramics among enslaved Afro-Andeans at the post-Jesuit haciendas of San Joseph and San Xavier in Nasca, Peru (2017)
In excavated contexts at the vinicultural haciendas of San Joseph and San Francisco Xavier de la Nasca, refined earthenwares of British manufacture first begin to appear in post-1767 strata. This period marks the Jesuit expulsion and the expropriation of the estates by the Spanish Crown. Administrators for the Crown likely found it difficult to replicate the material conditions on the haciendas under their Jesuit predecessors and turned to other exchange networks for provisioning the newly...
Refiniing Pinky's Grand Idea for Tobacco Pipe Stem Dating to Enhance Analytic Insights (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeological Research of the 17th Century Chesapeake" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since J. C. “Pinky” Harrington’s 1954 publication of a method of pipe stem dating, it has become a significant tool in historical archaeology analysis. For convenience, he selected a 64ths of an inch metric that became standard. Recent research using a much finer measuring increment reveals that pipe stems are capable...
Refining Archaeological Probability Models: Case Studies from Georgia DOT Systematic Wetland Surveys (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Byways to the Past: An American Highway Archaeology Symposium" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The results of several recent wetland surveys for the Georgia Department of Transportation are raising new questions about traditional archaeological probability models for inundated areas. Wetlands are often left largely uninvestigated during archaeological surveys due to restricted access, logistics issues, and by...
Refining Ideal Free Distribution Predictions Using Paleoenvironmental and Zooarchaeological Data on California’s Northern Channel Islands (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. I examine the potential for using higher resolution environmental records to expand on existing Ideal Free Distribution (IFD) model applications on California’s Northern Channel Islands. In this project, I take advantage of recent advances in paleoenvironmental research and higher resolution proxy methods (e.g., sclerochronology) since previous...
Refining Perspectives on Salado Polychrome Ceramics at Las Colinas Mound 8 (2019)
This is an abstract from the "WHY PLATFORM MOUNDS? PART 1: MOUND DEVELOPMENT AND CASE STUDIES" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As time passes, fewer and fewer of us retain an intimate knowledge of the site of Las Colinas and the excavations that took place there in the 1960s and 1980s. Published artifact data for the site do not accommodate certain research interests, including inquiry into Salado polychrome ceramics, a significant ceramic category...
Refining the Chronology of Basketmaker II Perishable Craft Production in Southeastern Utah (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During the past decade, the Cedar Mesa Perishables Project has documented nearly 5,000 perishable artifacts from alcoves in southeastern Utah. As part of this work, the project has generated about 100 radiocarbon dates from well-preserved woven textiles, sandals, baskets, wooden implements, and other perishable items from the Grand Gulch, Butler Wash,...
Refining the Chronology of Earthwork Construction in the Lower Mississippi Valley Archaic Period (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Constructing Chronologies I: Stratification and Correlation" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The culture history of southeastern North America is characterized by several episodes of monumental mound building, particularly during the Woodland and Mississippian periods. Some of the earliest manifestations of mound construction occur in the Middle and Late Archaic periods of the Lower Mississippi River Valley. The Late...
Refining The Hermitage Chronologies (2018)
Previous chronologies of site occupations at The Hermitage were based largely on historical documentation combined with observed architectural changes across the landscape. Here we use correspondence analysis of ceramic ware-type frequencies to corroborate and refine earlier chronologies developed by Smith and McKee. DAACS data from ten domestic sites of slavery at the plantation, with occupations spanning from the first decade of the nineteenth century to the 1920’s, allow us to develop...
"Refining" Coarse Earthenware Types from the British Coal Measures (2017)
Ceramics analysis, particularly the identification and dating of ware types on historic sites, structures our inferences in critical ways. However, our ware types and production date ranges are sometimes built on incomplete information about the origins of these wares. The Coal Measures region of Great Britain, encompassing production centers such as Staffordshire and the major port of Liverpool, was the source for a variety of earthenware products, both coarse and refined during the colonial...
Refit for Active Service: Merchant Vessel Conversion and the "Golden Age" of American Whaling (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The period following the War of 1812 saw ship owners, builders, and investors rush to reestablish the damaged United States whale fishery and “cash-in” on the ever-increasing demand for its products. While New England’s shipyards constructed some of the ships needed to rebuild the damaged fleet, converting merchant vessels to whaleships was generally preferred as conversion was a...
Refit Table 2 (2017)
This data set describes Madison point refitted bifaces and contains two more columns than the original Point Refit Table. The distance column measures the distance between refits in meters. The Context column records whether the refit is internal (1) or external (2). Internal refits are those within a defined area (i.e. longhouse) or between associated area (i.e. longhouse and associated midden). Internal can also refer to a refit of two pieces from undefined areas.External refers to a refit...

Refitting Paleoindian Workspaces and Activity Areas (2017)
Shawnee-Minisink represents one of the most spatially intact Clovis assemblages ever found. Recent work focusing on artifact spatial distributions and lithic refitting allow me to better define activity areas within the site. While previous analyses suggest that hide scraping was a common activity at the site it is unclear how such work areas were arranged compared to other features or work areas. This poster presents preliminary refitting results from a Clovis living floor, which suggest the...
Reflections From the Street: Current practices of collaboration and co-authorship in the contemporary archaeology of homelessness project. (2013)
Collaboration between archaeologists and stakeholders has the potential to radically transform a research project. This paper examines the collaborative relationships formed between archaeologists and Davidson Street Bridge Homeless Camp residents working on the archaeology of homelessness in Indianapolis, Indiana. Through the process of co-authorship we reflect on the current structures and views of collaboration both theoretically and practically, we examine the strengths and weaknesses of the...
Reflections in the Hermitage Spring, or How a Summer in Tennessee Drove me Underwater (2018)
The Hermitage Archaeology internship program was a significant and formative experience for many young archaeologists. My career still reverberates with the summer I spent in the program. Like many of the interns, I learned how to do solid scientific archaeology where well-conceived, humanistic questions are addressed with rigorous methods. I also learned that some things are more important than science and that I had no natural talent for Public Archaeology. Much of my career since has been...
Reflections of a Michigan State Graduate’s Career in the American West (2018)
I am primarily a western archaeologist and studied under Dr. William Lovis as a graduate student from 1976 to 1979. That was early in Bill’s career. I had many mentors in my formative years as an undergraduate and graduate student, as well as early in my archaeology career. Bill was my last academic mentor and the most influential. My training at Michigan State University has influenced my approach to archaeological projects, analysis of site data, and conclusions about such projects. In this...
Reflections on Community Engagement & Digital Approaches: The Effects & Impacts of Different Tools (2013)
Archaeologists generally believe that public engagement is important and useful, and most believe they are doing so. Many have seen relative ease of use of the web as a panacea for such work. Having been involved in archaeological research, outreach and community engagement for over 40 years, I have experience with a variety of methods. As technology changes and we try to embrace new techniques, however, it is rare that we reconsider our overall engagement strategy, or create a specific plan....
Reflections on DGR and RBR: David G. Anderson and the Richard B. Russell Reservoir Project (2024)
This is an abstract from the "*SE Big Data and Bigger Questions: Papers in Honor of David G. Anderson" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. David Anderson’s archaeological career took root in the fields of cultural resource management and his research on the Richard B. Russell (RBR) Reservoir was integral to his intellectual development. Through three seasons of fieldwork and subsequent analysis and reporting, he directed archaeological excavations at...
A Reflexive Paradigm: Improving Understanding of our Shared Human Heritage (2018)
BOEM’s historic preservation program is based in stewardship, science-informed decisions, and scientific integrity. To achieve these values, we utilize best practices of inclusiveness in our community science programs. By actively seeking varied ways of knowing, e.g, traditional knowledge and landscape approaches, we allow for concurrent historic contexts to be defined and understood at various scales. Considering our jurisdiction covers 1.76 billion acres of submerged federal lands, these...

Reform and Archaeology (2013)
There is more to the concept of reform than just change. The term suggests improvement and betterment -- but by whose definition and direction? Serving as an introduction to the Archaeology of Reform/Archaeology as Reform session, this paper explores the meaning and nature of reform and how archaeology can both illuminate and facilitate it.
