This is an abstract from the "The Transformation of Historical Archaeology: Papers in Honor of Charles E Orser, Jr" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. History and economics have dominated the events of the Great Famine that took place in Ireland mid-nineteenth century. Archaeology in recent years had been able to shed new light on the daily lives of Irish tenant farmers during this time. The archaeology has revealed that these farmers were not...

This study examined the prevalence, degree and effect of lead poisoning amongst people fromNewcastle-upon-Tyne(1711-1857). Tooth enamel samples of fifty individuals were analyzed using ICP-MS. Possible osteological expressions of lead exposure were recorded: reduced stature, dental caries, Harris lines, anemia, vitamin D deficiency and vitamin C deficiency. 96% of people had clinically defined lead poisoning as non-adults. Statistically significant relationships were found between severe lead...

Sharing a birth year with the NHPA, the National Park Service’s Southeast Archeological Center has served as steward to the cultural resources and archeological heritage for the national park units across the southeastern United States. For 50 years SEAC has overseen and conducted the majority of NHPA-related activities in these parks, provided training and education to both NPS staff and the public. This paper examines the roles SEAC has played in resource stewardship, protection, and education...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mortuary Monuments and Archaeology: Current Research" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2017, the Cultural Resource Survey Program at the New York State Museum conducted a CRM survey prior to highway construction along the front edge of the Elbridge Rural Cemetery. Some of the first pioneers of the town of Elbridge, including several Revolutionary War veterans are buried in this nondenominational cemetery....

The mid-to-late-19th century marked a time of enormous material and social changearound the world. Newly available lands and a more fluid social structure made life in the American West, and Texas, especially desirable for immigrants from Europe. Immigrants from the French-German border region of Alsace sought and found opportunity in what would become Castroville, Texas. The Birys, a family within the community, sought opportunity like many new immigrants and faced many of the same challenges....

A Swedish researcher wrote in 2014 that a group of artifacts found on Vasa belonged to the ship's barber. These artifacts included, a whisk, wooden ladles, a wooden mortar and pestle, a grater, a beer tap, a pewter flask, and a stoneware jar.  The barber surgeon is perhaps the most important crew member a ship can have.  A ship's barber surgeon was responsible for the treatment of diseases and injuries while the vessel is at sea, at times having to act as surgeon, physician, and apothecary,...

This is an abstract from the "Putting Archaeology to Work: Expanding Climate and Environmental Studies with the Archaeological Record" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations at Fort Pulaski’s Workers’ Village have uncovered evidence of how the fort’s builders adapted to their barrier island environment and coped with hurricanes. Past fort personnel had their own version of the National Park Service’s Resist-Accept-Direct Framework: resisting...

This is an abstract from the "Novel Statistical Techniques in Archaeology II (QUANTARCH II)" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In regional investigations of settlement location the analyst typically assumes that appropriate variables have been identified—important variables have not been omitted and irrelevant ones have not been included—an assumption not always justified. The identification of a "minimum set" of location requirements is more...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Our study aims to investigate the movement and territorial behaviors of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann) and dogs (Canis familiaris Linneaus) over time, utilizing carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotope values derived from archaeological remains. An analysis of these isotope values extracted from tooth collagen and enamel was conducted...

A pilot study was conducted to test the feasibility of applying strontium isotope analysis to source the origins of archaeological "canoe trees" tested to make pre-contact dugout canoes spanning some 5000 years. Many canoes collected decades ago from Florida’s lakes produced unexpected signatures. These results raised further questions about the methods' feasibility and the impact of past preservation approaches to the curation of waterlogged wooden artifacts. The anatomical nature of wood...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There is a great need to develop better methods to identify and quantify warfare when it occurs without accompanying written documentation, and to consider alternative explanations of data. This study tests if late-prehistoric Caddo communities in southwest Arkansas were committing large-scale acts of violence against neighboring regions. Concurrent...

This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology and Technology: Case Studies and Applications" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Stable isotope analysis enables us to test the hypothesis that specialized animal economies were fundamental to the development of emerging urban centers, including colonial American cities. The distribution of meat and other animal products is a basic urban process and a barometer for the economic development of such early...

This is an abstract from the "Finding Fields: Locating and Interpreting Ancient Agricultural Landscapes" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the western Great Lakes region of the USA, late prehistoric and early historic Indigenous fields are often difficult to investigate because their archaeological signatures are faint and easily destroyed. They have been identified largely via rare remnants of ridged fields and historical records. With the...
