This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Capitalism’s Cracks" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When thinking about ways to explore the American past with the goal of developing radical progressive ways of moving forward into our own histories, the specific perspectives we use and the people we study matter. In my interrogations of the lives of Maroons and Indigenous Americans of the Great Dismal Swamp (VA and NC), and,...

The Columbian Harmony Cemetery was established in the mid-19th century to serve the District’s African American community and continued in use until 1960 when approximately 37,000 burials were exhumed and remains were re-interred in the National Harmony Memorial Park in Landover, Maryland.  However, the burial removal process at Columbian Harmony Cemetery was not complete; not all burials were exhumed and re-interred.  Headstones and other cemetery monuments, entire coffins, coffin fragments and...

Charity Hospital, established in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1736, was one of the longest running public hospitals in the United States, finally closing its doors in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. During the period from 1847 through 1929, two cemetery sites—one located on Canal Street and one on Canal Boulevard—were used for the interment of many indigents treated at the hospital. Excavations of these sites, most of which occurred after Hurricane Katrina and some directly as a result of the...

The Winnemucca Lake basin, one of many branches of Pleistocene Lake Lahontan in northwest Nevada, is again in the headline news for early human occupation of the Great Basin. Possible horse butchering at the end of the Pleistocene, fuel storage, grasshopper caching (14,195 cal. BP) and ancient rock art add to the intrigue of an ever developing mystery behind North Americas earliest ancestry. Most familiar are Fishbone and Crypt caves, a part of the Guano Mountain cave complex, where a...

This is an abstract from the "Frontiers of Plant Domestication" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The importance of agaves to Mesoamerica and its cultures has long been recognized, providing food, fiber and beverage. However, their significance to these cultures has overshadowed and distorted the plants’ role for indigenous peoples north of the U.S. - Mexico border. Pre-Columbian farmers grew no less than six and possibly as many as eight or more...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. SWCA Environmental Consultants is conducting heritage resource surveys across 4,388 acres of lands managed by the Cibola National Forest. These surveys will aid the U.S. Forest Service and the Claunch-Pinto Soil and Water Conservation District of Mountainair, New Mexico, in completing landscape-level treatments designed to protect an unburned forested...

Despite decades of work, debate persists regarding the nature and extent of Prearchaic land use patterns in the North American Great Basin. While some archaeologists argue that Prearchaic hunter-gatherers favored a broad diet and, therefore, relied on a generalist land use strategy, others insist that they favored a narrow diet, thus relying instead on a specialist land use strategy. To help resolve these debates, here we ask the simple question: what environmental parameters drive variation in...

Researchers propose that the first people to occupy the Great Basin preferentially settled near pluvial lakes to exploit highly profitable wetland habitats. However, a systematic evaluation of this hypothesis has yet to be undertaken. Here we test predictions from an ideal free distribution model to determine if the settlement decisions of Prearchaic foragers were indeed biased toward pluvial ecosystems. The results not only elucidate Prearchaic settlement patterns, but also establish...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The first occupants of the Great Basin settled the region when highly profitable wetland environments were abundant, but their spatial distribution was highly variable. Results of our earlier work identified an interesting pattern driven by this variation: Prearchaic (>8000 BP) settlements in the Lahontan and Bonneville Basins were closer to pluvial lakes than...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology of the Virgin Branch Puebloan Region" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the domestication of the dog (Canis familiaris), they have been granted various roles within human society. Because of the often close relationship with people, domestic dogs were often given similar burial customs as people. Precontact dog burials have been recovered throughout many regions in North America. Although some of these...

Examination of eight WWII bombardment aircraft loss incidents previously resolved by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has allowed for the creation of a model that predicts where human remains can be expected to be recovered from within a crash scene based upon each crew member’s duty station. This paper details where each individual was found in relation to the aircraft wreckage at the crash sites, including those criteria for a case to be included in the model and how hypotheses...

This is an abstract from the "Research Hot Off the Trowel in the Upper Gila and Mimbres Areas" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The discovery of a prehispanic copper artifact on a Classic Mimbres site in the Gila National Forest in southwestern New Mexico in 2009 initiated an archaeological investigation to determine if more prehispanic copper artifacts existed in the Mimbres area. This preliminary investigation involved surveying a small sample of...

The Los Angeles Water and Power Company Navajo-McCullough Transmission Line Right-of-Way corridor is located for the most part in Clark County, Nevada, but also diagonals across the southeast corner of Lincoln County, Nevada. The total length of the corridor in Nevada is over 100 miles long and the archaeological survey was conducted within a 50 meter distance to either side of the center line. Access roads added to the distance that was intensively surveyed. Where it was observed that there was...

This report documents the methods and results of archaeological investigations conducted by the Desert Research Institute Social Sciences Center i n the Buckhorn Mining District of the Cortez Mountains, Nevada. The investigations were conducted for Cominco American to mitigate the adverse impacts to significant cultural resources resulting from expansion of the Buckhorn Mine onto land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Mitigation efforts included avoidance of impacts by project...

Underwater prehistoric archaeology has begun to flourish in recent years, and archaeologists can now take stock of the unique challenges and triumphs of this sub-discipline. Evolving beyond shipwrecks, underwater research today investigates major global changes in sea level and addresses some of the most important questions in prehistory. This evolution requires a new outlook on underwater archaeology in general, as well as new tools and approaches to investigate a broader range of questions....
