A Socioeconomic Interpretation of 19th Century Archaeological Ceramics found at Contemporaneous, Culturally Diverse Sites on Ballast Point in San Diego, California (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michelle D. Graham.

This research assesses the degree to which the type, form, and function of 19th century ceramics recovered from archaeological sites on Ballast Point reflect ethnic identities of their owners. A dualistic approach is employed to determine whether culture or economy played a greater role in influencing the acquisition of ceramic goods at these sites. Comparisons are drawn from contemporaneous deposits associated with a Chinese fishing camp (Trench 2), and a European American whaling operation...


Socioeconomic Status of a Self-Sufficient 19th Century Homestead (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Abigail K Kindler.

In the summer of 2011, Lindenwood University began excavating in the Femme Osage Creek Valley in St. Charles County, Missouri. Near to the Historic Nathaniel Boone Home, a hidden 19th century homestead site has been found with the remains of numerous buildings, as well as a two-lane drive.

This would not have...

Soil Quality and Agricultural Productivity of Eolian Landscapes in Petrified Forest National Park (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Amy Schott.

The Petrified Forest National Park in northeastern Arizona contains extensive sand sheets and dunes. Archaeologists have long recognized the importance of the eolian landscape for prehistoric agriculture. Archaeological sites dating from c. 200-1400 A.D. correlate with eolian landscape features, which suggests that eolian soils were used for dry-farmed dune agriculture. Eolian soils are not always conducive to dry-farmed agriculture; however, dune farming is known ethnographically, and has been...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Pye.

This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 1: A Focus on Cultures, Populations, and Ethnic Groups" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphillis and gonorrhea, were commonplace on the frontier in the 19th century. The spread of such diseases is often attributed to the fact that prostitution was also quite prevalent. In mid to late 19th century Tucson, Arizona, most Tucson residents accepted prostitution as an...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachael E. O'Hara. Emily Dale.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. With the impact of World War II and the development of Route 66, Flagstaff, Arizona grew exponentially from the 1940s to the 1960s. This growth is seen through a series of domestic artifacts collected at a home in Flagstaff’s Southside Historic District.

Solving the Mystery of the Black’s India Pale Ale Bottle from the John Marsh House, Contra Costa County, California (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Glenn J. Farris.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During excavations at the John Marsh House built in the mid-1850s several whole bottles were found in the foundation trench. Two were Hunyadi Janos bottles, but the third was an exciting find because it still retained a paper label that was mostly intact that said “Black’s India Pale Ale.” Over the next thirty years efforts to learn more about this bottle were ineffectual. However,...

Some Aboriginal Sites on Green River, Kentucky (1916)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Clarence B Moore.

J. Whittaker: (Reprinted 2006 Gustav’s Library, Davenport IA) Reports on burials from "The Indian Knoll" and other sites. Most attention to antler hooks and bannerstones, interpreted tentatively as "netting needles and mesh spacers", experiment shows they work. Atlatl theory considered, but: 1) no definite evidence of atlatls in area 2) atlatl should be one-piece for strength, 3) no points associated [not true, he reports lots of points from burials, including antler point in bone] 4)...


Some Aspects of Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archaeology in Southern Texas (1975)
DOCUMENT Full-Text T. C. Hill, Jr.. Thomas R. Hester.

This paper is concerned with the last several hundred years of the prehistoric period in the southern part of Texas. The earlier human occupation of this region, extending back perhaps 11,000 years, has been summarized elsewhere (Hester 1971a). The Paleo-Indian period is represented by scattered surface finds of Clovis and Folsom projectile points, and by a variety of "Late Paleo-Indian" point styles, such as Plainview, Scottsbluff, Golondrina, Angostura, and Meserve. The following Archaic era...
