This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A 2018 submerged cultural resources survey conducted by Coastal Environments, Inc., under contract to the Ohio History Connection, focused on the waters off Ashtabula County.  The survey was designed to address high probability shipwreck sites and potential areas for submerged landscapes.  Geophysical survey was...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Israel Russell in 1883 suggested that the shorelines of ancient Lake Lahontan were so pristine that the lake must have been only a few hundred years old. Today it is known that this spectacular Pleistocene Lake, present in a unique environment, has been around for at least the last two million years with an extraordinarily complex history. Increasing...

In early 1986, archeologists from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center (WACC), National Park Service (NPS), surveyed developed areas and other high-use areas within Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NRA). The 1986 Archeological Survey of Developed Areas was designated project LAME 86A. This report describes the results of the LAME 86A project and two earlier developed areas surveys, and so provides a complete record of such surveys at Lake Mead. One of the previous surveys was...

This ethnographic overview of Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which will serve as companion to a forthcoming archeological overview of the area, provides an ethnographic context for future archeological research and for current interpretation. The Recreation Area, which includes land in both Nevada and Arizona, overlaps early Native American ethnic boundaries, as well as modern state borders. Groups whose territories touched upon or fell within current park boundaries include the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Strides Towards Standard Methodologies in Aeronautical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1948, at the dawn of the Cold War, B-29 ser. # 45-21847 crashed into Lake Mead while engaged in top secret scientific research tied to intercontinental ballistic missiles and heat seeking sensors for air to air combat. Located in 2001 and actively managed by the National Park Service through the present...

During the late 18th and early 19th centuries Durham boats were an important means to carry goods along the inland rivers of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Prior to the construction of canals these boats were one of the few ways to move substantial cargoes and they figured prominently in the economic development of the region. Despite this importance no archaeological examples have been recorded. However, preliminary analysis of a shipwreck in Oneida Lake suggests that it is the remains...

Lake Tahoe is the third deepest lake in North America. On its southwest shore is Emerald Bay, a fjord embayment that has long been recognized for its spectacular natural beauty and as one of the most photographed places on earth. Just offshore of  the historic site of Emerald Bay Resort are the remains of the "Mini-fleet." These ten small craft, representing a variety of vessel form and function, operated on Emerald Bay from 1890-1940 for recreation. The Mini-fleet represents 90 percent of the...

Archaeologists are aware of the potential for late Pleistocene/early Holocene pluvial lake deposits to be associated with modern playas in the central and northern parts of the Great Basin. However, playas located farther south in the Great Basin do not appear to have supported pluvial lakes during past wet climate cycles. The five playas included in this study—the Indian Springs playa, Dog Bone Lake playa, Three Lakes Valley playa, the playas in Cactus Flat, and Pahute Mesa playa—are thought to...

There is a contentious history between Navajo families living in the Wupatki Basin, ranchers, and the National Park Service. The creation of the monument in 1924 gradually displaced indigenous residents from ancestral homelands leading to loss of territory and connection to family. Here I focus on change in Euroamerican demands for land and federal management policies, as well as Navajo kinship, family dynamics, and oral history as told by descendants of the first Navajo settlers in the Wupatki...

Land snails have the potential to address a variety of archaeological concerns, including the identification of paleolandscapes and paleoclimatic conditions. Such studies demonstrate how non-marine mollusks can be employed to infer changes such as seasonal and long-term precipitation rates and anthropogenic landscape alterations. Although land snails are abundant in Channel Island sites, they are often ignored. In this paper, we utilize land snail remains from three archaeological sites on San...
