The enigmatic first contacts between the Zuni people and Esteban Dorantes, an enslaved Moor, has provided fodder for historical and anthropological speculation for more than 475 years. Conjecture regarding what really happened between Esteban and the Zuni began within a few days of this initial encounter in 1539, and continues down to the present day. Despite centuries of debate, supposition, and guesswork based on scanty historical records, archaeological evidence has yet to be brought to bear...

PROJECT Dean Snow. University at Albany.

The Second Woods site was excavated as part of the Mohawk Valley Project. The site is located in the town of Minden, New York, and lies on a long ridge that runs westward from the village of Fort Plain. Second Woods is one of several sites clustered in the town of Minden, on the south side of the Mohawk River. It may have been one of the communities that came together later at Otstungo. Second Woods is one of the few excavated examples of small villages that preceded the nucleation and...

The techniques used to form ceramic vessels—in this case, coiling and scraping as opposed to the use of a paddle and anvil—have long been treated as key elements differentiating among archaeological "cultures" in the US Southwest. At the same time, finished vessels often retain little or no obvious visual evidence of the technique used in their formation, and this low visibility has implications for both ancient practice and modern archaeological analysis. We utilize computed tomography (CT...

This is an abstract from the "Kin, Clan, and House: Social Relatedness in the Archaeology of North American Societies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Secret societies are groups of individuals that possess esoteric knowledge that is not available to non-members, and therefore are by definition exclusive. Many such societies are associated with administering ritual ceremonies. The Chumash Indians of southern California had a secret society known as...

Material from the root canal of a teen male from Jamestown was removed for study including microscopic analysis.  Examination of the material, transported on sealed slides to PaleoResearch Institute, yielded starches, fungal hyphae, pollen, and fibers.  Options for safe transport and transfer of materials to working microscope slides are discussed.  Principals of microscopy, including having no air in the working light path between the microscope slide and the coverslip, are important to...

This is an abstract from the "*SE Stakes and Stones: Current Archaeological Approaches to Fish Weir Research" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A recent resurgence in fish weir research has revealed limitations in the NRHP evaluation of such sites. With few weirs having been directly dated, and with a general lack of excavation of associated processing sites, it is often difficult to define the chronological context needed for a proper evaluation. In...

When improvements were proposed for the Whitehurst Freeway in Washington, DC, existing conditions would not have recommended this heavily urbanized project area for a research-oriented archaeological investigation. The area was traversed by elevated freeway ramps and major roadways. As well, it had been the site of a 20th century school and 19th and 20th century industrial use.  Yet, because of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, archaeological investigations led to the...

Excavations of shipwrecks at Tantura Lagoon in Israel between 1995 and 1997 resulted in a rich collection of sediment specimens which have been catalogued as ‘bilge mud’ – the residue that collects in the bottom of a ship’s hold. Some of these samples have been analyzed for the presence of pollen, seeds, insects and other organic materials, but the body of the sediment itself also holds important clues to the past travels of the vessels. Using techniques more common to oceanography and...
