The royal palace of Sans Souci anchored elite attempts to inculcate royal power and authority in the Kingdom of Haiti, a fledgling state that emerged out of the turmoil of the Haitian Revolution. Despite the role this site has played in the production of historical memory in Haiti, negligible archaeological work has been carried out to study building chronology and the organization of space at Sans Souci. In the summer of 2015, an international team from the University of California, Santa Cruz,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Three-dimensional modeling of archaeological sites has been used in scholarly papers as well as in museum displays to illustrate the original appearance of the archaeological site. In addition to these valuable applications, three-dimensional modeling of partially-excavated or no-longer-standing archaeological architecture has significant value to the field of...

Three-dimensional technologies have provided new ways to record, reconstruct, and distribute the information gathered during fieldwork and subsequent study. This paper will overview the ongoing methodologies used to document and interpret the Egadi 10 ramming warship through theoretical reconstruction in Rhino and Orca3D as well as the importance of using contributory reconstruction to produce new research questions. It will also discuss how additional recording techniques, employed during the...

This is an abstract from the "Three-Minute Artifact Forum - Artifacts That Enlighten: The Ordinary and the Unexpected" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The majority of artifacts historical archaeologists find are ordinary objects; things we recognize instantly and have seen lots of. However, every once in a while, one of these ordinary artifacts speaks to us. It could be because of the density of the find within a site, a unique motif it contains,...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Science and African Archaeology: Appreciating the Impact of David Killick" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists and Indigenous and national governments agree on the need to address the wicked problem of heritage resource crime, but archaeologists have yet to deploy the full range of analytic tools at our disposal to assist in the investigation and prosecution of looting, vandalism, and grave...

This is an abstract from the "Sacred Southwestern Landscapes: Archaeologies of Religious Ecology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pueblo worlds are remarkably similar, yet completely distinct. This paradox has challenged Southwestern anthropologists: how do Pueblo people, from Hopi to Taos, share similar worldviews and beliefs, but maintain unique histories of their paths of becoming? Elsie Clews Parsons and Edward Dozier characterized Pueblo...

Photography is an integral part of the archeological recordation process. This paper compares and contrasts the photographic methods of the 1991/1992 Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (MCPFC) excavations and the 2013 MCPFC excavations. In each case, the photographic record preserves the original burial context and is useful for analysis after that context is destroyed. The differences between the photographic methods of the 1991/92 excavations and the 2013 excavations represent not only...

The waterfront area of Brunswick Town, a small but important transatlantic port on the Cape Fear River, was a major shipping and commercial center for southeastern North Carolina. The major export of tar, pitch, and turpentine to British controlled areas helped established this town for naval supplies. In his original investigations of Brunswick Town, Stanley South noted ballast stone piles in the river that might be evidence of up to five colonial wharves. At one of these locations, river front...

Large alkaline glaze stoneware vessels from the Edgefield District of South Carolina have long been studied by ceramic historians and collectors. Manufactured by enslaved laborers in the antebellum period, these vessels were sold throughout the South. Historians and collectors have speculated that a lighter green glaze, called celadon, was manufactured earlier than a darker green-brown glaze. This assertion has not been tested systematically using available archaeological evidence. Excavations...

This is an abstract from the "Hill People: New Research on Tijeras Canyon and the East Mountains" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Tijeras Canyon has long been a corridor of migration for wildlife and humans, and the presence of water has and continues to make this place a special place. From shaping of the landscape, to settlement, and sacred places, water is at the heart of Tijeras Canyon. There are deep meanings in this landscape and special...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, and Public Education at Tijeras Pueblo, New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Sandia Ranger District administrative site has been in continuous use since the 1920s and is co-located with Tijeras Pueblo, a National Register historic property. The District office, only 20 minutes outside of Albuquerque, is one of the most heavily visited Ranger Stations in the Region. The history...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, and Public Education at Tijeras Pueblo, New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper provides an overview of the Tijeras Pueblo archaeological site, placing it within a broader academic and social context. The excavation history of the site will be discussed, along with previous research, and past and modern significance. In its current context, Tijeras Pueblo has become of...

This is an abstract from the "Sacred Southwestern Landscapes: Archaeologies of Religious Ecology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Beginning with Neil Judd’s early speculations about timber importation, the Chaco road network has been the basis of diverse and often contrasting archaeological interpretations about the use of such unique landscape features. While a wide-array of interpretations have been suggested, recent least cost analyses reiterate...
