33,276-33,300 (35,817 Records)
Although the Florida Keys’ archaeological record famously made possible the seriation of south Florida pre-Columbian ceramic styles in 1949, this 356 km2 archipelago has been largely ignored by academic archaeologists ever since. Today, Keys archaeological sites and historical properties are plagued by tourism-related development, a multi-faceted issue that is exacerbated by the compounding effects of weekly tidal erosion and seasonal tropical storms. Consequently, an untold number of sites have...
State of the Art: Reconstructing paleolandscapes for maritime CRM projects (2018)
Advancements in sound underwater remote sensing have resulted in effective ways to study the ocean bottom, reconstruct paleolandscape settings, and find pre-contact archaeological sites. The inventory of submerged sites known to date ranges from 3 to 13 kya. These sites are located in, and theorized to exist from nearshore to mid-shelf settings, but the potential for pre-contact sites goes all the way out to the continental shelf break, a fact confirmed by recent findings of several pre-Clovis...
The State of the Inland Sea: a primer to the submerged cultural resources of Lake Ontario and the Upper St. Lawrence River and the state of studies in Great Lakes Shipbuilding (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Shipwrecks and the Public: Getting People Engaged with their Maritime History" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Lower Great Lakes and Upper Saint Lawrence River has served as a natural corridor of transportation, its intensification increasing exponentially with the lifting of restrictions on commercial shipping and shipbuilding in 1785. These restrictions coincided with a shift from military shipbuilding that had...

State Recreation Areas Arbitrary Investigation 1979-1985
State Recreation Areas Arbitrary Investigation 1979–1985 is comprised of numerous small investigations. All materials had been stored in the same AAL box, and the associated documentation did not clarify which artifacts or accession numbers were from different projects. The only known investigations in this collection were identified using the AAL project numbers 79FR11 and 79IA6, which were identified on a box list supplied by AAL. It is believed that these two project numbers are related and...
State Road Relocations 1979
This collection is referred to as "State Road Relocations 1979.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is one (1) linear inch. The investigation dates from 1977 to 1979. The investigation occurred primarily in 1979, which explains the date in the project name. The range of dates also includes earlier administrative correspondence regarding the project proposal and contracts. The documents were originally housed...

State Route 260 – Payson to Heber Archaeological Project: Results of Archaeological Testing at Indian Garden, Gila County, Arizona (2005)
Testing phase excavations at Indian Garden removed eroding human remains in the existing road-cut and evaluated the significance and integrity of features in this damaged portion of the site. The site will not be impacted by future construction, but the slope will be rehabilitated. Investigations were concentrated on the face of the existing road-cut.
State Route 3003 Relocation Along Georges Creek 1995
This collection is referred to as "State Route 3003 Relocation along Georges Creek 1995.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is one (1.0) linear inch. State Route 3003 Relocation along Georges Creek 1995 was originally stored with other documents from the Grays Landing Lock and Dam subject property. The different document collections were processed separately. This document collection consisted of two identical...
State-level law and prosecutorial interest in archaeological resources protection (2019)
This is an abstract from the "New Perspectives on Heritage Protection: Accomplishing Goals" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological site damage, destruction, and looting is nothing new. For years, the archaeological community has bemoaned the minimal protections for these resources under federal law. Little discussion has occurred regarding what protections may exist under various states’ legal regimes. This paper reviews Louisiana’s...

Stature of Adult Human Remains from Point San Jose (2018)
Stature provides insights into the lives and wellbeing of individuals and populations. In living groups, stature is employed to evaluate differences associated with time (secular trend), geographic distribution, sexual dimorphism, socioeconomic differences, and from other living conditions. Poor living situations hinder growth and yield shortened statures; advantageous conditions enhance growth and result in greater heights. Similar influences are inferred for past populations and the skeletal...

Status Quo: Military Landscapes (2017)
When considering cultural landscapes, military installations are unique due to their development through continued use for defense-related purposes. As a result of this active use, military cultural landscapes continue to evolve, changing yet staying the same in terms of function. As a military base, Camp Clark has been in operation for over one hundred years and boasts the oldest National Guard rifle range in the state of Missouri. Camp Clark was established on April 28th, 1908, as a result of...
