Material culture is a mediator between the living and the dead (Hallam and Hockey 2017). Items used by the living can leave their mark osteologically, can follow an individual into a burial context, or can become part of an individual. Each of these actions leaves archaeological evidence of cultural communication. This paper examines the dialectical relationships between artifacts and osteology through an integrative analysis of the multilayered relationships between osteological data, artifact...
"Like rain in a drouth": Omaha, Nebraska's Costly Signaling at the Trans-Mississsippi and International Exposition of 1898 (2013)
In the late nineteenth-century, while eastern U.S. cities thrived as magnets of immigration, the lesser-known cities west of the Mississippi struggled to retain what populations they could attract, especially in the face of natural and financial disasters. These cities had to find ways of signaling their strengths in order promote increased settlement and stronger economies, so that they could compete with other cities on both regional and national scales. As this paper will demonstrate, one...

Limbus Infantum: Shrouds, Safety Pins, and the Materiality of Personhood in Juvenile Burials at the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (2018)
Of the over 2000 individuals recovered from the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (MCPFC), approximately one-third are juveniles under the age of 20. Age categories for the MCIG juveniles were established using a variety of dental, osteometric and nonosteometric methods. The example of juvenile lot 10007, (dental age assessment 5 postnatal months, osteometric age 39 fetal weeks) recovered with diaper fabric, safety pins, and a small angel pin, suggests that a more refined look at juvenile age...

Limonite as Evidence for Pottery Manufacture at Jornada Mogollon Sites (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Recent Research at Jornada Mogollon Sites in South-Central New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent fieldwork at Cottonwood Spring Pueblo and other Doña Ana and El Paso phase sites in New Mexico’s southern Tularosa Basin consistently reveal evidence of pottery manufacture. Pieces of natural and worked limonite have been found in proximity to jar fragments with a yellow coat of paint on their interior and...

A Linguistic Approach to Architecture: Geosemiotics and Performativity of the Built Environment (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, I argue that architecture, like language, is symbolic and communicates meaning. Therefore, architecture can be interpreted linguistically. The architecture in the ancient Southwest is no exception. Buildings were designed, built, and used with meaning. Using the theoretical frameworks of geosemiotics and performativity, I will illustrate...

Linking Archaeological and Documentary Evidence for Material Culture in Mid-Sixteenth-Century Spanish Florida: The View from the Luna Settlement and Fleet (2018)
The recent discovery and archaeological investigation of the 1559-1561 settlement of Tristán de Luna on Pensacola Bay, in concert with ongoing nearby excavations at the second and third Emanuel Point shipwrecks from Luna’s colonial fleet, has prompted new opportunities for research into the material culture of Spain’s mid-sixteenth-century New World empire. In an effort to develop systemic linkages between the material traces left behind in different archaeological contexts, both terrestrial...
Linking Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Action, and Cultural Resource Management for Development (2018)
Climate change has taken over a large part of the disasters and development agenda. In examining the theory behind climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk reduction (DRR), and development, it is apparent that climate change offers little new. Climate change is one factor amongst many influencing hazards, to be considered when improving development and reducing vulnerabilities. This conclusion is reinforced by seeing that actions on the ground to deal with...
The "Linking Hispanic Heritage Through Archaeology" Program: Using National Parks to Engage Latino Youth With Their Cultural Heritage (2016)

The program, a collaboration between NPS, University of Arizona, and Environmental Education Exchange, connects Hispanic youth to their cultural history using regional archaeology as a bridge. The LHHTA goals are to 1. increase awareness of National Parks within...

Linking the Past to the Present: Collaborative DNA Research with Native Californians (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Increasing the Accessibility of Ancient DNA within Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. At the time of European contact, a high degree of linguistic diversity characterized Native California, implying a long prehistory of different ethnic groups migrating into the region. Previous research, using mitochondrial DNA samples contributed by living descendants, produced correlations between certain genetic markers...
