Driven by the desire to learn, explore, and grow in the field of archaeology, those who chase this life are often left asking themselves: to CRM or not to CRM? Cultural Resource Management, specifically Phase I survey, is not what many would consider "exciting" or even "sexy". All that in mind, I have taken on the task of building and managing a multi-state CRM program built on the foundation of telecommunications projects and Phase I surveys. Telecom has created a unique environment that...
Can You Make Me a Map? Making Louisiana’s Cultural Resources Records Accessible (2018)
This paper will outline the processes and decisions that the Louisiana Division of Archaeology made to create an efficient, comprehensive GIS system that could be utilized by both professionals and the citizenry of Louisiana to help promote both progress and preservation.

Can You See Me Now?: Exploring Lines Of Sight On A Virginia Plantation (2018)
As part of ongoing archaeological investigations of Quarter Site B at Belle Grove Plantation in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, geospatial data from various sources are being compiled and analyzed in ArcGIS. Of particular interest is the spatial relationship between the quarter site and the two main loci of white control over the plantation, the manor house and the plantation office/store. This presentation uses viewshed analysis and 3D visualization to explore visibility and lines of sight within...
Can't See the Forest for the Trees: The Upland South Folk Cemetery Tradition on United States Army Corps of Engineers Land in Georgia (2017)
The nature of the mission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers--water management, and the dams and reservoirs necessary to accomplish this mission have resulted in many familial and community cemeteries on USACE land falling under the stewardship of the Corps. The desire to settle near productive bodies of water, the time period around which these areas were being settled, and the preference to establish these cemeteries on high grounds resulted in numerous examples of the "Upland South Folk...
Canada del Tule: Cultural Resources Inventory of 3,520 acres on Melrose Air Force Range, Roosevelt County, New Mexico (1997)
During April of 1997, an intensive cultural resources survey was conducted on Melrose Air Force Range (MAFR), Roosevelt County, New Mexico, by Geo-Marine, Inc. A total of 3,520 acres was included in this inventory, which resulted in documentation of ten previously unrecorded archaeological sites and 87 isolated occurrences. Six of the sites included artifacts associated with aboriginal activities, three appear to result from historic activities, and one site included evidence of both aboriginal...
Canal Irrigation and Floodplain Farming: Archaeological Data Recovery at AZ AA:16:570 (ASM) and AZ AA:16:582 (ASM), Tucson, Pima County, Arizona (2012)
Situated along the western edge of the Santa Cruz River floodplain, the 18.6-acre Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) parcel (Parcel Nos. 119-42 006E, 119-42-006M, and 119-42-006N) contained a single previously recorded site, AZ AA:16:570 (ASM). The project was undertaken for Swaim Associates Architects prior to the construction of a Tucson Unified School District school on the property. The Arizona Antiquities Act of 1960 (as amended), the State Historic Preservation Act of 1982, and the...

The Canids of Arroyo Hondo: a reanalysis (2017)
Domestic dogs were an important part of human cultures in the prehistoric American Southwest; the significance of these animals is apparent from ceramic decorations and clay figurines, as well as faunal remains. But how these animals functioned within Southwestern cultures is less well-understood. Prehistoric dogs’ roles in some cases seem to have been similar to those of modern dogs: protector, worker, and pet. However, zooarchaeological data have shown that dogs, like turkeys, were also used...
The Canine Question: The Role of Dog Husbandry in Athapaskan Migration and Plains-Pueblo Exchange (2017)
Plains-Pueblo Exchange is the study of interregional interactions during the Protohistoric Period (ca. AD 1450 to 1700) between the people and cultures of the Southern Plains and the eastern, frontier Pueblo communities associated with the Rio Grande Valley and its tributaries. Plains-Pueblo research has focused generally on issues of culture contact, culture history, and social evolutionary trajectories leading up to European Colonization, but has skirted the increasingly obvious fact that...

A Canoe on a Sand Bar: The Remarkable Story of the Guth Canoe in Northeast Arkansas (2015)
For thousands of years before motorized transportation, dugout canoes were the mode of water travel in interior North America. Due to their perishable nature, they are rarely found archaeologically. Most have been preserved due to being kept submerged in anaerobic conditions or buried in underwater sediments. In Arkansas, only a handful have been found, all in riverine situations. The severe flooding in northeast Arkansas in 2008 dislodged a dugout in the St. Francis River that ended up on a...

Canoes, Canals, and Portages: Water Travel around the Northern Coast of the Gulf of Mexico, ca. AD 600–1800 (2024)
This is an abstract from the "What’s Canoe? Recent Research on Dugouts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Modern discoveries of Mississippian dugout canoes and a Middle Woodland canoe canal in coastal Alabama have prompted historical and archaeological research on water travel in the region. Applications of multi-spectral lidar and geophysical survey are proving useful in defining canal features, which have been partially obscured by changes in...

Caohkia Style Engraved Stone Tablets (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Cahokia Birdman Tablet is the iconic example of what defines this artifact category, with engraved graphics on the obverse and crosshatching on the reverse of a rectangular stone tablet. Other tablets from Mississippian contexts have similar combinations or variations of these three features. Some may only exhibit crosshatching on one or both sides....
