DOCUMENT Citation Only Jerod Roberts.

This is an abstract from the "The Art of Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Lower Pecos canyonlands of southwest Texas are home to over 350 identified rock art sites containing various pictographic styles. The Pecos River Style is the most well-known and contains many diagnostic characteristics. One of the most ubiquitous is a motif that has been interpreted as a prickly pear pouch, gourd rattle, catfish on a string, dart-headed...

Assessing the Potential for ED-XRF in Archaeometric Studies: A Focus on Data Sharing and Bulk Chemical Analysis (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeffrey R. Ferguson.

This is an abstract from the "Advances in Obsidian Studies of the Old and New Worlds" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Over the past few decades, the increasing use of compositional studies of archaeological materials has dramatically enhanced our knowledge of the past, but as the diversity and availability of analytical techniques increases it is necessary to understand all of the variables involved in the choice of analytical method. In this...

Assessing the Utility of Large Excavators and other Heavy Equipment for Archaeological Excavation (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Chenault. Michael Stubing. Ron Ryden.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists conducting long-term data recovery excavations at Hohokam sites in western Phoenix, Arizona used a large excavator (track hoe) to remove the plow zone and overburden from above prehistoric features. After extensive analysis, the large excavator proved to be faster, more efficient, more cost effective, and, in the hands of an experienced...

Assessing the Value and Potential of Labor Archaeology: A Description of the Labor Archaeology of the Industrial Era National Historic Landmark Theme Study (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adam Fracchia.

Work and labor relations have been under attack over the last several decades. Many of the same issues and problems confronting workers today were faced by workers in the past. Historical archaeology has the ability to use archaeology to highlight these connections and thus, contribute to the study of labor and the current labor dialogue and struggles. This paper details the latest draft of the Labor Archaeology of the Industrial Era National Historic Landmark Theme Study and its usefulness...

Assessing the Viability of Limited Collection and in Field Analysis Strategies for Ceramic investigations at S’eḏav Va’aki, Arizona (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Chiara Umbriano. Matt Peeples. Matthew Kroot.

This is an abstract from the "Training a New Generation of Heritage Professionals in the Valley of the Sun: The ASU Field School at S’eḏav Va’aki" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. One of the primary goals of the Arizona State University field school at S’eḏav Va’aki was to use minimally disturbing methods to accurately characterize the nature, spatial extent, and chronological placement of features within the project area. This goal was developed in...

Assessing Typology of Pre-Mazama Corner-Notched Points in the Great Basin (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Shelby Saper. Richard Rosencrance. Katelyn McDonough. Geoffrey Smith. Dennis Jenkins.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Some researchers support a “long” chronology for corner-notched points in the northern and eastern Great Basin, with some points dating as old as 8500 cal BP. Other researchers support a “short” chronology and argue that corner-notched points almost exclusively postdate 5000 cal BP. This debate suffers from the use of a variety of typological schemes,...
