Recent archaeological excavations conducted for PennDOT under Interstate 95 in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia have produced a number of artifacts related to the volunteer fire companies that once existed in the neighborhood. Between 1736 and 1857, over 150 volunteer companies came into existence across the city, and two of those were once situated within the current project area. With the creation of the paid Philadelphia Fire Department in 1871, the era of the volunteer companies passed...

There is no report or documentation associated with these remains. The VCP St. Louis laboratory processed two artifact collections from the Clifty Creek Reservoir (1969 and 1973-1974), but stated that these remains did not belong with either of those investigations. The accession number, catalog number, and skeletal element were recorded on each bag. The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the artifact database, artifact...

South Florida contains millions of acres of wetlands, subtropical estuaries and prehistoric waterways interconnecting thousands of tree islands and shell work islands, comprising one of the largest and most complex prehistoric maritime landscapes worldwide. Recursive human and natural dynamics shaped these landscapes over deep time, but will soon be lost by rising sea level. Integrated archaeological and paleo-ecological studies are critical to understanding the long term impacts of humans on...

Climate change poses threats to both inland and coastal archaeological resources alike. Sites along the coast of San Diego County are under various threats such as inundation and erosion due to sea level rise. For over two years, the Society for California Archaeology (SCA) and the San Diego County Archaeological Society (SDCAS) have been directing the Climate Change Project to assess the effects of climate change on San Diego County resources. This study utilizes GIS analysis to examine coastal...

This is an abstract from the "Migration and Climate Change: The Spread of Mississippian Culture" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Tree-ring reconstructions of cool- and warm-season moisture reveal several multi-decadal droughts that impacted the northern Lower Mississippi Valley between AD 1250 and 1450. These chronic droughts contributed to the regional abandonments and population migrations southward out of the Cairo Lowland and adjacent areas...

Feature fill and stratigraphic soil samples were submitted for phytolith analysis from a rockshelter site, 15BR247, located in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Phytolith analysis was undertaken to better understand what the environment was like during the occupation of the site, and to identify any microbotanical remains from areas within and in front of the shelter. Macrophysical climate modeling was employed to generate a model of past climate for the area.
