Building a New Ontology for Historical Archaeology Using the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert DeMuth. Kelsey Noack Myers. Joshua J Wells. Stephen Yerka. David Anderson. Eric Kansa. Sarah W. Kansa.

Unlike prehistoric archaeology, there is no general unified system by which historical archaeological sites are classified. This problem, which is in part due to recognized biases in the recording of historic archaeological sites, has resulted in numerous incompatible systems by which various states classify historic sites. This study demonstrates a first step toward providing historical archaeologists with the means of creating a more cohesive ontology for historic site reporting. The advent of...

Building a selection-based model to explain the spatial and temporal distribution of obsidian artifacts in the northern Great Basin (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John Dudgeon. Pamela Pascali. Rebecca Hazard.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Over 20 archaeologically-identified obsidian sources occur as inter-bedded surface exposures and stream-transported alluvial deposits within and along the margins of Idaho’s Snake River Plain. Previous research has documented the differential frequency of source use through time and variation in material transport distance for southern Idaho obsidians,...

Building a Village: Excavations at La Villa (2016)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: system user

The Hohokam village was one of the largest pre-Classic settlements in the Phoenix Basin. The recorded site boundary covers more than 80 acres, extending from the edge of the Salt River floodplain northward. Founded during the Vahki phase (A.D. 500-650), when settlement aggregated around two large plazas, the village thrived until the Santa Cruz phase (A.D. 850950), when people began to leave the village, possibly settling in villages further down the canal system. Final abandonment occurred...

Building an Anarchist Historical Archaeological Theory (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Edward Gonzalez-Tennant.

The goal of this paper is the articulation of an anarchist historical archaeological theory. The emergence of anarchism as a political philosophy in the late-17th/early-18th centuries suggests that historical archaeologists are well-positioned to articulate the intersections between anarchy and archaeology. This paper provides a brief overview of the central tenets of anarchist theory, and particularly its robust criticism of hierarchy. Anarchists continue to explore issues related to horizontal...

Building at Bac: Chronological Challenges in Conservation at Mission San Xavier (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hannah Herrick.

Traces of early modern European presence in the Sonoran Desert endure today as plaster-white mission churches dotted across the arid landscape. Established by Jesuits as early as 1691 AD, Mission San Xavier del Bac in Tucson, Arizona is unique in its continued usage as a modern Catholic church. Its long-standing occupation necessitates nearly-constant conservation practices, which must be complementary to the church’s original construction. However, the absence of nearly two-hundred years’...

Building Back Past Diné Communities: Ricos, Pobres, and Naat’aanii Status in Pericolonial New Mexico (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wade Campbell.

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Property Regimes" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the mid-1900s, American anthropologists characterized Diné society as a four-tiered social organizational structure with “natural communities” at the highest level. Often referred to as regional “bands,” these geographically defined, economically self-sufficient, multifamily social entities were loosely organized under the nominal leadership of...

Building Below the Surface: Earth Moving and Caching at Cahokia’s CABB Tract (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Baltus. Sarah Baires.

Human engagement with the world includes forging and maintaining relationships with social agents, both visible and invisible. Among Native North Americans, these relationships are simultaneously religious, social, and political. We explore these relationships using data from our 2016 excavations at Cahokia’s CABB (Courtyard Area Between Borrows) Tract, located southeast of Woodhenge and west of the Grand Plaza. The CABB Tract is situated north of two known borrow pits (Fowler’s 5-5 and 5-6) and...

Building Capacity: Educating and Training Submerged Terrestrial Archaeologists (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ramie Gougeon. Gregory Cook.

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Paleolandscape Investigations in the Gulf of Mexico" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In spite of an increased interest in submerged terrestrial landscapes and an increased need for trained professional archaeologists to support offshore energy development projects, educational programs in the advanced survey technologies, analytical software and methodologies, and educational coursework necessary to discover...

In the aftermath of mid-19th century Western imperialist and capitalist expansion in China, the Chinese Diaspora grew beyond Southeast Asia as migrants left southern China for Australia, North America, and South America. Despite being separated by the Pacific Ocean, these Chinese communities in the United States did not live in isolation. Instead, they remained highly connected to their home villages and districts in southern China as well as communities throughout the Diaspora through the...
