Technical Work Plan for the National Register of Historic Places Eligibility Evaluation of Three Archaeological Sites on Cannon Air Force Base, Curry County, New Mexico (2015)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Versar, Inc..

This document provides a research design and technical work plan for evaluating the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of three previously recorded archaeological sites on Cannon Air Force Base (CAFE), Curry County, New Mexico. The preliminary data potential and NRHP evaluations were carried out in 1987; each site was recommended ineligible for a NRHP listing. Additional work, however, is required to evaluate the subsurface potential and geomorphic integrity of the sites in...

A Technological Analysis of Daub from a Middle Mississippian Period Site in Bartow County, Georgia (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joey Case. Terry Powis.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Daub is clay used in the construction of wattle-and-daub houses that acts both as insulation and protection from the weather. Less emphasized compared to other materials recovered in the archaeological record, daub played an important part in the waterproofing of dwellings in the Mississippian period. Being made of clay, daub is not preserved unless it was...

Technological Approach to Fire Cracked Rock (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebekah Truhan. Jacob Foubert. Luke Stroth.

Fire cracked rock (FCR) is an artifact category that has not received much attention, normally reduced to counts and weights. However, FCR is a dynamic material that undergoes a specific sequence of changes. In this poster, the authors propose different ‘stages’ corresponding to different hot rock technologies and features, such as hot rock cookery, hearths, and limestone temper. An experiment is designed to identify the physical and geochemical changes that occur during hearth construction and...

Technological Investment and Subsistence Strategy Flexibility within the Uinta Basin Fremont (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Audrey Pazmino.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Cub Creek area of Dinosaur National Monument has a Fremont occupation spanning from AD 300-1350 that shows variable reliance on maize agriculture depending on environmental conditions. Settlement data indicate a stable upland occupation throughout the sequence characterized by ~120 roasting features, but an intensive lowland pithouse occupation that lasted...

Technological Knowledge And Migrations Of Ancestral Pueblo Communities Of Practice In The Northern Rio Grande Of New Mexico (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark R Agostini.

This paper seeks to evaluate how successive migrations of ancestral Pueblo people from pre-hispanic villages (AD 1250 – 1400) on the Pajarito Plateau of New Mexico restructured potter communities of practice and community identities as ethnic groups joined their Tewa-speaking relatives at the earliest historic period Rio Grande settlements. Oral histories from descendant communities dating to the 19th and early 20th centuries recount how remaining members of these villages resettled to the south...

Technological Knowledge, Migrations and Ancestral Puebloan Communities of Practice in The Northern Rio Grande of New Mexico (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Agostini.

In the mid-late Classic period (AD 1250 - 1400), Ancestral Pueblo people living on the Pajarito Plateau of New Mexico experienced cultural change due to difficulties in farming during periods of drought. As a result, communities abandoned pre-contact plateau villages to join their Tewa-speaking relatives at the earliest historic period Rio Grande settlements. Oral histories from descendant communities from the 19th and early 20th centuries recount how the remaining members of these communities...

Technological Organization of Two Prearchaic Sites in Grass Valley, Nevada (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan Bradshaw. Martijn Kuypers. David Zeanah. Robert Elston.

The research presented here works from the proposition that patterns in lithic assemblages reflect human organizational strategies. Preliminary investigations of 26La4434, a single component Prearchaic site in Grass Valley, reveal a pattern of large game exploitation in proximity to a Pleistocene shoreline. Standard metric, morphological, and edge-wear analysis of the flaked stone assemblage is used to evaluate whether the site facilitated access to local wetland resources and large game...

Technological Toolkit: Using XRF Analysis to better understand 19th Century Iron Making and its Implications for the Labor Force (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph E. Clemens.

The use of X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) as a tool for analyzing archaeological materials is becoming increasingly common. Recently, various types of iron ore and iron products produced at furnaces in Maryland and Pennsylvania in the 19th century were analyzed using XRF measurements. These measurements were employed to create a representational graph of the elemental composition of iron artifacts in order to identify a connection between the source material and the iron product. Documentary...

Technology and Empire: A Comparative Analysis of British and Dutch Maritime Technologies during the Napoleonic Era (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ivor R. Mollema.

A study of the Dutch vessel Bato (1806) and British vessel Brunswick (1805) wrecked in Simons Bay, South Africa presents a unique opportunity to compare and analyse the maritime shipbuilding technologies available to these two powerful seafaring nations during the Napoleonic Era (1792-1815). Preliminary research of the material culture record yields data about British and Dutch access and utilization of specific shipbuilding timbers, iron knees, metal sheathings, and variety of fastenings....

The Technology of Capturing Color: Complementary Analyses of Pigment Cakes and Chalks (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nancy Odegaard. Kelsey Hanson.

This is an abstract from the "Coloring the World: People and Colors in Southwestern Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The brilliant range of colors seen on painted media in the U.S. Southwest represents only one stage in an intricate sequence required to make paint. Capturing color from the natural world, harnessing it into a palette, and incorporating it into the material cultural repertoire represents a skillset with deep roots. The...

Telepresence-Enabled Archaeological Exploration of ex-USS Independence (CVL22) in the Gulf of the Farallones (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James P. Delgado. Michael L. Brennan.

In 2016, a joint NOAA/Ocean Exploration Trust mission in the E/V nautilus conducted a series of telepresence-enabled dives on the carrier Independence, a World War II veteran used as a target ship in the 1946 atomic weapons tests at Bikini Atoll. Subsequently used as a floating laboratory and a post-nuclear attack training platform by the US Navy, Independence rests in 822 meters of water where it was scuttled in 1951. The dives, the first to survey and document the wreck, were shared with a...
