The Evaluation of the Labor Costs of Stone Boiling Dried Maize During the Early Agricultural Period in the Southwest (2017)
The Early Agricultural period (2100 BC-AD150-500) in the Southwest begins with the presence of maize and ends with the advent of ceramic vessel use. It is assumed maize was dried out and stored for future consumption. Once dried, maize required extensive processing to gelatinize the endosperm starch, or transform the polysaccharides back to a digestible monosaccharide, through techniques such as: parching, steeping, grinding, and/or boiling (Hard et al. 1996). Little, however, is known about the...

An Evaluation of the Relations between Morphology and Thermal Properties among Poverty Point Objects (PPOs) of the American Southeast (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Poverty Point Objects (PPOs) are thought to have functions related to contexts of heating and cooking in areas where stone alternatives are not locally available. PPO morphology and composition, therefore, may potentially be explained by the efforts of prehistoric populations to manipulate thermal properties that impact performance for cooking and heating. In...

Evanston Chinatown A Look At Food-ways And Diversity (2018)
The Evanston Chinatown was occupied from ca 1870 to 1922. Evanston is located in extreme southwestern Wyoming, in a valley drained by the Bear River. Excavations of this Chinatown have revealed a diversity of material cultural remains. Based on our findings n this paper we will present the diverse ways the Chinese immigrants adapted to living in Evanston. We will do this by examining the food ways of Chinese immigrants and looking at the macro and micro floral remains recovered from the site.
Everglades Headwaters Conservation Partnership: Final Environmental Assessment for the Establishment of the Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area (2012)
The Kissimmee River Basin in south-central Florida is a unique and biologically diverse landscape that is home to rare and unique habitats and wildlife found nowhere else, and an agricultural way of life that is slowly disappearing. With Florida’s population expected to double to 36 million from 2010 to 2060 (Zwick and Carr 2006) and many major development projects in the works, the time is now to conserve what is left. In 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) helped initiate...
Every Nook and Cranny: Short-term Residences For Enslaved Laborers (2015)
From the timber-framed homes in the South Yard for domestic servants to the log cabins of the Stable and Field Slave Quarters, the housing for the enslaved community at Montpelier mirrored that found on many plantations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Recent excavations at an agricultural structure--the Tobacco Barn--produced a domestic assemblage that suggests the co-option of work structures for temporary worker housing. This paper explores the evidence for variable-duration housing at Montpelier...
"Every Plant is Medicine:" Overlapping Categories in Food Production and Ritual (2018)
Wild plant collection is often a key component of food production. Yet, despite its dietary import, collection practices remain under-researched and "wild" plants are typically relegated to the margins of our archaeological analyses. Drawing on historical medicinal records, I discuss the practices surrounding the collection of medicinal plants and these plants’ intricate entanglements in food production systems. In this presentation, I use the early 20th century ethnobotanical works of Huron...

"Everybody Knows Remmey:" Analysis of a Stoneware Kiln Waste Deposit Recovered along I-95 in Philadelphia. (2016)
The Remmey family is known for the distinctive blue decorated salt-glazed stoneware they produced at potteries in New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia during the 18th and 19th centuries. From the 1870s through 1910 the Remmeys manufactured fire brick and chemical stoneware at their large pottery in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Excavations in advance of construction for the I-95 project in Philadelphia exposed an isolated stoneware waster dump associated with the Remmey manufacturing...
Everyday Archaeology on the Navajo Nation (2017)
The role of archaeology in facilitating everyday life on the Navajo Nation is a day-to-day concern for many Navajo Nation citizens. Citizens and communities of the Navajo Nation and the nation itself engage with archaeology in three ways. Individual citizens require archaeology to secure the necessary permission to build a home on reservation land. For Navajo communities, archaeology is part and parcel with infrastructure and land use planning and development. At the government level archaeology...
Everyone Was Black in the Mines: Exploring the Reasons for Relaxed Racial Tensions in Early West Virginia Coal Company Towns. (2015)
While racial inequality was frequently the norm in many early 20th century communities, several historians have noted that many central Appalachian coal mining ‘company towns’ tended toward more equitable white/black race relations. The progressive nature of these histories is opposed to our modern stereotypes of the region, and may provide and important outlet for positive narratives of Appalachia. This paper draws largely on oral histories and documentary evidence to understand the processes...
