The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as “Wabash Floodplain Archaeological Survey N.D.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folder, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is a quarter (0.25) of a linear inch. The Wabash...

Normally, the VCP only processes USACE collections. The artifacts for Wabash Grant Huntington County (12HU1299–12HU1315) 2008 were originally thought to be USACE owned. The artifacts were processed at the VCP. Later communications between Ball State University collections manager, Christine Keller, Louisville District archaeologist, Jan Marie Hemberger, and MCX CMAC collections manager, Cathy Van Arsdale confirmed that this investigation was not owned by USACE. The investigation was related and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Located in the southern region of the Virginia Piedmont, the Randy K. Wade site (44CH62) is identified as a Late Woodland, Amerindian community which exhibits expected pit storage technology, boundary features, and material culture (Dan River Series ceramics, diagnostic lithics, dietary remains). However, high-status mortuary treatments and the village’s...

The Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina was home to disenfranchised Native Americans, enslaved canal company laborers and maroons who lived in the wetlands temporarily and long term ca. 1660-1860.  This paper discusses recent and ongoing research to identify mesic islands, likely sites of maroon occupation, in the interior of the Swamp.  In the past decade, the Great Dismal Swamp Landscape Study (GDSLS) has intensively investigated a few maroon and enslaved labor sites, leaving...

Examination of the site of a 19th century drug store (ca. 1877-1889) at Silver Reef, a ghost town in southwestern Utah, involved excavations in both the ground and in the archives. Established and run by Julius Wagner (1877-1882) and then taken over by Charles H. Case (1884-1889), the site was the primay pharmacy for this mining community. Excavation under the floor of this former false-fronted, wood frame building recovered a small but informative assemblage of pharmaceutical items.. Many years...

Transportation networks greatly influence the movement of commodities into a community. This paper uses a model of commodity flow developed by Pred (1964) and elaborated on by Adams and colleagues (2001) to analyze glass bottle assemblages from Castroville, Texas. The model suggests that a combination of commodity value, shipping costs, and distance from the North American manufacturing hub influence the movement of goods around the country ca. 1880-1950, creating regional differences in market...

Since 1998, the Walhain-Saint-Paul Project has connected the next generations of archaeologists on a global scale via a strong partnership between Eastern Illinois University and Belgium’s Archaeological Research Center (UCL, Louvain-la-Neuve).   Through the excavation of our 13th century castle site, we have also engaged the local community, providing them with new ways to understand and protect their heritage.  Our student’s backgrounds encompass a variety of subjects, making this project...

This is an abstract from the "Technique and Interpretation in the Archaeology of Rock Art" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. SAA is comprised of many educators and a special interest group that conducts research on rock art. The emphasis now is to raise awareness regarding cultural sensitivity of rock art panels, including protection and preservation. That Pueblo people think of rock art panels as part of their cultural heritage, is not a new...

In recent years, the downtown Pensacola waterfront has undergone a revival: new restaurants, stores, and investments in beautification have encouraged a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare. The National Park Service’s 2014 National Maritime Heritage Grant Program awarded a grant to the Florida Public Archaeology Network, the University of West Florida (UWF) History Department, and UWF Historic Trust in support of a series of interpretive panels along this high-traffic waterfront. This Pensacola...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Method and Theory: Papers in Honor of James M. Skibo, Part I" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During this paper, we will reflect on the impacts that Dr. James Skibo has had on our lives and careers. From childhood to graduate school, Dr. Skibo has been a major influence on how we think about and approach archaeological research. Thanks to his Yooper wisdom, he has also taught us many life lessons, such...

This is an abstract from the "Advances in Global Submerged Paleolandscapes Research" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The high desert basin surrounding Walker Lake, Nevada, has been subject to multiple landscape shifts since the lake reached its Late Pleistocene highstand, 15,679 cal BP. Research has identified at least four lake transgression and regression events postdating 5000 BP, and after its nineteenth-century historic highstand, the lake has...

This is an abstract from the "Contested Landscapes: The Archaeology of Politics, Borders, and Movement" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper presents an archaeological ethnography of the Migrant Trail and a very recent past associated with the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border. Composed primarily of U.S. citizens, the Migrant Trail is a seven-day walk that protests U.S. immigration and border enforcement policies and commemorates...

When project personnel recorded the outlying structures at Pueblo la Plata, reference was made to walls running "north/south" and walls running "east/west". This graph illustrates the variability in precise wall orientation, with black arrows corresponding with walls running "north/south" and red arrows corresponding with walls running "east/west". Results suggest there was no consistent attempt to orient outlying structures to the cardinal directions.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For archaeology to survive in the current political environment and for critical discourse on the past to thrive, archaeologists need to be proactive and advocate for our subject’s contemporary relevance. We illustrate the problems and potentials of this advocacy by examining popular perceptions of Roman border zones like Hadrian’s Wall, and how these...

Material culture can generally be interpreted using three broad perspectives that view objects as historical documents, commodities, or ideas. The analysis of glass bottles from historic archaeological contexts provides an especially compelling example of the utility of this approach. Bottle manufacturers often kept detailed records of changes in design, decoration, and style. As a result, glass bottles encode a wealth of information and can often be used to gauge the degree of connectedness...

The Agua Fria National Monument, a 71,000-acre parcel of land encompassing two mesas and a river valley, is a region rich with human prehistory. The landscape is freckled with sites dating to the 13th and 14th centuries, ranging in size from a single agricultural field to pueblos of one hundred or more rooms. One particular Pueblo, Pueblo La Plata, was the focus of my research as I attempted to reconstruct its changing population through the remains of its residential structure.

This collection is referred to as the “Walter F. George River Basin Survey 1960-1971 investigation.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is a quarter (0.25) of a linear inch. The majority of the documents from this collection date from 1960 to 1971, which explains the date range in the investigation name. However, there is one document that has a date range from 1960 to 1976, which is an oversized map that...
