Burial 46SU3 was an eroding burial at the Baker's Bottomsite excavated on March 13, 1989 by Robert Maslowski. The skeletal material was washed and sent to the WVU School of Medicine for analysis. The material originally sent lacked the cranium, dentition, cervical vertebrae and left scapula. Dr. Maslowski indicated that he had learned that Dave Dobbins had recovered a skull and other material exposed by erosion the previous Fall at the same location. This material was subsequently also sent to...
Advances In Laboratory and Field Use Of Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) and LASAR ABLATION-ICPMS (LA-ICP-MS) Technologies In Field Archaeological And Combined Survey Format (CSF) Surveys (2018)
Major advances in the Laboratory and Field Use of Portable X-Rarchaeologyay Fluorescence (pXRF) and the newly developed LASAR ABLATION ICP-MS (ICP-MS) in archaeology are enabling investigators to gain new insights into the elemental and chemical content of laboratory and field samples of artifact, soil and plant materials. Many of these advances have come directly from laboratory studies and field geochemical investigations initiatiated by mineral industry and governmental organizations and...

Drawing on ethnographic analogy evidence, an economies of destruction political economy...
Advances In the Uses of portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF). Laser Ablation Induced Polarization-Mass Spectrography (LAICP-MS) and Infrared Studies of Plants and Soils to Discover and Map Deeply Buried Human and Animal Remains from Conflict, Massacre and Habitation Sites. (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From the early work of Eiidt (!977) on the use of Phosphorous analyses to detect the lasting chemical signatures of human remains, human and animal waste in habitation sites, the use of the new (or relatively new to Archaeology) pXRF, LAICP-MS, PIMA and other IR methods to study the concentration of phosphorus in soils and plants over suspected conflict, massacre and habitation...
Advancing interpretation of USS Monitor through digital reconstruction (2017)
It can be difficult to interact with a large artifact actively undergoing conservation treatment and desalination. The artifact is almost constantly submerged in a treatment bath making it impossible or impractical for the archaeologist to study the particularities and imperfections of the object. This can postpone significant archaeological interpretation for years. By digitally reconstructing USS Monitor’s iconic gun turret, using photogrammetry and laser scanning, USS Monitor Center staff at...
Advancing Predictive Modeling in Archaeology - Supplementary Data (2020)
The data provided here(Yaworsky_etal_2020_sdmdata.csv) accompany a set of archaeological predictive models created for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah. The full dataset is comprised of 11,814 observations (1,619 presence points and 10,195 absence points), and ten predictor variables. Column 1 is a unique ID. Column 2 is a binary identifier of whether an observation represents an archaeological site/presence point (1) or pseudo absence point (0). The remaining columns...
Adventures in Archaeology: Summer 2019 Camp at the Forest Meeker Homestead (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the summer of 2019, Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc. and the Delaware County Historical Society hosted an Adventures in Archaeology summer camp. The camp engaged children and the community in the basic methods of archaeology, with learning objectives that included excavation techniques, screening, field identification of artifacts, field drawing, and team collaboration. The students (ages...

The Advice You Were Looking For: The ACUA Mentorship Program Panel Discussion (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Advice You Were Looking For: The ACUA Mentorship Program Panel Discussion" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Beginning January 2018, at the previous Society for Historical Archaeology Conference in New Orleans, LA, the Advisory Council of Underwater Archaeology organization debuted the Mentorship Program consisting of leading professionals in underwater archaeology careers. Once debuted, there was an overwhelming...
Advocating for the Morrow Jones Cabin: Archaeological Investigations at a Historic Homestead (2017)
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) manages over two million acres of state land. Forbes State Forest, located in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, is home to numerous cultural resources, including the Morrow Jones cabin. Given its location on state-owned property, neglect and natural decay are greater threats to this historic house than development, yet DCNR has limited funding and a finite amount of time to devote to such resources. Detailed study of this house...
Adzes in Focus: A 2D vs. 3D Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Dalton Artifacts. (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Geometric morphometrics (GM) is a method of digitizing objects in a way that controls for variables, such as size and scale so that the shape of objects can be compared to determine differences and similarities. This method has become increasingly abundant in archaeological investigations of lithic tool assemblages. In studies regarding prehistoric...

For each beige and purple map (Scanned Asset 1039-0002), there is a duplicate map. Thus, there are nine unique maps, but eighteen total copies. The beige maps have a map publication number along with a handwritten number in the upper right corner of each map numbering from two to nine. The legible map publication numbers include 18069-272-55,...
Aerial Imaging Using UAVs (Drones) in Chihuahua and Nayarit, Mexico, to Map and Archive Archaeological Sites (2018)
In 2017, we used UAVs (drones) to record eight archaeological sites from the air. As this type of technology becomes more refined, we have found that it is especially useful in carrying out three specific tasks: contour mapping, archiving site conditions, and identifying architecture. This paper reports our findings resulting from aerial images captured while flying archaeological sites in Nayarit and Chihuahua, Mexico.
