Clovis Technology on the Southern Colorado Plateau: An Analysis of the Glen Quarry Locality (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hannah Robinson.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper details my archaeological research on Clovis lithic tool technology at the Glen Quarry Locality, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, southeastern Utah. As the earliest inhabitants of North America dating from approximately 13,400 BP, Clovis cultures form the baseline for the archaeology of the continent. I report the results of intensive field...

Clovis to San Pedro: Projectile Points and Land Use in the Southern Colorado Plateau (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Danielle Soza.

Recent research done by the University of Arizona at Rock Art Ranch, located on the southern Colorado Plateau near Winslow, Arizona, yielded a wealth of information on preceramic land use in an area where prior research had not been conducted. Survey of a six square mile area recovered more than 140 projectile points ranging from Clovis to San Pedro, 50 bifaces, and 88 sites. Multiple canyons crosscutting the ranch carry water that results in a diverse range of flora and attracted animals to the...

Clovis Use of Obsidian in the Southwest (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bruce Huckell.

This is an abstract from the "2019 Fryxell Award Symposium: Papers in Honor of M. Steven Shackley" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The role of obsidian in Clovis technological organization in the US Southwest and northwestern Mexico is investigated. The distribution and typology of obsidian artifacts from excavated sites as well as surface contexts is reviewed. Projectile points appear to be the principal, and nearly only, tool for which obsidian...

Clovis-Killed Mammals (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gary Haynes. Janis Klimowicz.

Published opinion pieces about Clovis prey choices are unintentionally misleading. Over 120 individual animals from 8 extinct megafaunal species (or 12, depending upon taxonomy) were killed by Clovis people in a relatively short time span, according to conservative estimates -- and the number is even higher in some lists. The 11 Clovis sites said to have acceptable evidence for human predation on mammoths actually contain 50-53 separate individuals, some being discrete kills that should be...

Clusters of Beads: Testing for Time in an Eighteenth Century Well (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Stroud Clarke.

This paper presents a continuation of the bead study presented at the 2015 SHA conference in which beads from a South Carolina frontier site dating from c.1680-1734 on the Drayton Hall property were tested against Jon Marcoux’s 2012 correspondence analysis of 35,000 glass trade beads from Native American mortuary contexts dated c.1607-1783. The 2012 study discerned four distinct clusters of time from the beads within mortuary contexts. The current paper examines an additional dataset of beads...

Clusters of Beads: Testing for Time on the Carolina Frontier c.1680-1734 (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Stroud Clarke. Jon Marcoux.

When analyzing archaeological sites with almost continual episodes of occupation, it is often difficult to discern distinct temporal periods; given this challenge archaeologists have long relied on a variety of methodological techniques to help narrow down dates of occupation. In 2012, Jon Marcoux published a new correspondence analysis study using over 35,000 glass trade beads in Native American mortuary contexts dated c.1607-1783 with the results indicating four discrete clusters of time. This...

Co-creating Knowledge about Iowa Sites and Increasing Awareness of Iowa's Descendant Tribes through Community-Engaged Archaeology (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth Reetz.

This is an abstract from the "Democratizing Heritage Creation: How-To and When" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In June 2023, the University of Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) completed a year-long project for the University of Iowa (UI) Community Engaged Scholars Program in collaboration with the Elgin Historical Society & Museum (EHS) and Meskwaki Nation. The partners aimed to share knowledge about archaeological and historical sites...

Co-residence in Hunter-Gatherer Groups: New Insights from the Southern Florida Interior (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Colvin.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In recent years, there has been a resurgence in interest of co-residence among hunter-gatherers, chiefly in relation to how groups solve collective action problems. The southern Florida interior can greatly contribute to these ongoing discussions with many multi-mound complexes exhibiting periods of monument construction and varying degrees of co-residence...

Co-stewardship, Preservation, and Archaeology in Southern Arizona's National Park Units (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Guebard. Larry Benallie.

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative Archaeology: How Native American Knowledge Enhances Our Collective Understanding of the Past" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The National Park Service (NPS) is increasingly focused on strengthening relationships with tribal governments through policies designed to promote the co-stewardship of natural and cultural resources located on Native American ancestral homelands. Recent Secretarial Orders and...

Co-stewardship: Positive Impacts from Meaningful Consultation (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Laurene Montero. Nicole Armstrong-Best. Lindsey Vogel-Teeter.

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative Archaeology: How Native American Knowledge Enhances Our Collective Understanding of the Past" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. S’edav Va’aki (formerly known as Pueblo Grande) is an ancestral O’Odham (Hohokam) archaeological village site and the only National Historic Landmark in Phoenix, Arizona. For more than a decade, the S’edav Va’aki Museum (Museum) has consulted monthly with the Salt River...

Coal Bed Village: Test excavations of a major Ancestral Pueblo site in Southeast Utah (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Yoder. James Allison. Scott Ure. Haylie Ferguson.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Coal Bed Village (42SA920), located at the confluence of Coal Bed and Montezuma Canyons, is one of the largest Ancestral Pueblo sites in the state of Utah. The site was first documented by William Henry Jackson in 1875, but has never been systematically investigated. Rubble mounds covering the top, slope, and alluvial...

Coal Camps in the Rock Springs Uplift, Wyoming: Effective Partnering between Archaeologists, State Agencies and Consulting Engineers (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas K. Larson. Dori M. Penny. Marina Tinkcom.

Wyoming's Abandoned Mine Land Division (AML) has been funding cultural resource investigations at late nineteenth and early twentieth century coal fields in the Rock Springs Uplift since the early 1980s and that work continues up to the present. A program that began primarily as the closure of dangerous mine openings gradually evolved to address mine subsidence and underground mine fires. Today, mining-related community impacts and stream erosion problems have become priority issues. These...
