Robert Schuyler’s Historical Archaeology: A Guide to Substantive and Theoretical Contributions was first published in 1978 and is now in its fifth printing. The Guide was the first work to gather together some of the most important founding documents of the relatively new field of historical archaeology and is still in use in undergraduate and graduate courses today. This paper will review the themes of that volume, as selected and edited by Dr. Schuyler, and will discuss how the ideas put forth...

The Schwerdt ceramic assemblage from southwest Michigan presents a local variant of a larger, diverse cultural and ceramic complex known as the Upper Mississippian. This is a Late Woodland temporal phenomenon beginning as early as 700 A.D. (Overstreet 1978) in some areas and continuing into proto-historic times. The temporal and spatial placement of the Schwerdt ceramic assemblage was a highly complex task. It would be an understatement to say that it was just a little confusing to try to sort...

Consumption of caffeinated drinks made with cacao and perhaps holly is well documented for Chaco Canyon. Less understood is the context of consumption. Evidence for cylinder vessel production, use and termination particularly reveals aspects of drinking ritual, including frothing. New compositional analysis demonstrates how Chaco potters decorated pots with post-firing pigments on stucco, permitting repeated decoration and cleansing of drinking vessels. Changes in the sizes, shapes, and...

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. Ann Ramenofsky has a record of scholarship in archaeology in which one can identify a consistent application of a science-based approach. This approach recognizes: the systematic nature of science; the distinction between conceptual and empirical domains; the role of unit formation in science, the complementary roles of theory...

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. This paper presents an updated interpretation of marine shell exchange in the NW/SW. Isotopic analyses of marine shell can yield novel insights into regional trade networks. Our paper reviews C and O assays from archaeological assemblages in the NW/SW. These results demonstrate that the northern stretches of the Sea of Cortez...

The Tiger Lucine (Codakia orbicularis) is a large bivalve native to the West Indies. This tropical species is a common constituent of late prehistoric (AD 800-1500) shell middens in the Florida Keys, the Lucayan Archipelago, and the Greater Antilles (e.g., Jamaica). C. orbicularis’ prominence in the archaeological deposits of these regions is the predictable result of its abundance, relative ease of access, and widespread efficacy as both a subsistence resource and raw material for tools (e.g.,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists working in isolated rural locales continue to face the challenge of protecting archaeological sites from threats of looting and vandalism. Whether physically secluded beyond a watchful eye or simply located on private lands with few legal protections, sites in these rural spaces are at particular risk for damage or (un)intentional...

Over the past 2 years the SHIPS Project has set out to conduct several dozen oral histories concerning divers’ recollections from the early days of scuba diving in Plymouth, UK.  These oral histories were undertaken for several reasons, to better understand the layout of virgin shipwrecks when first located, to record the items recovered, which are affectionately known as ‘spidge’, and to document the human interest  and lust for ‘scrannying’. What has been explored and expanded upon within the...
