For hundreds of years, Upper Midwest Dakota constructed burial earthworks at natural liminal spaces. These sacred landscapes signaled boundaries between sky, earth, and water realms; the living and the dead; and local bands. During the 19th century, the U.S. Government took ownership of Dakota homelands in Minnesota and the Dakotas leading to decades of violent conflict. At the boundaries of conflict forts were built to help the military "sweep the region now occupied by hostiles" and protect...

This is an abstract from the "Research, Education, and American Indian Partnerships at the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. When he co-founded Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in 1982, Stuart Struever’s vision included an understanding that American archaeology needed an institution that could conduct long-term research. Perhaps nothing illustrates the value of long-term research more than Crow Canyon’s sustained...

Sometime in the 1870s, a small set of subterranean stones became an object of importance and pilgrimage. Promoters, travel writers, and visitors claimed that the stones were the original foundations of George Washington’s boyhood home near Fredericksburg Virginia. The site was already well known as the site of Parson Weems’s famous Cherry Tree parable, but as the landscape recovered from the Civil War, residents look for other ways to have a less troubled American past. Washington provided the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. New research suggests the utilization of a wild potato (Solanum jamesii) may have been an important resource in the arid West in general and particularly among Ancient Puebloan communities. This research tests for the role of S. jamesii in Ancient Puebloan societies by expanding upon the research goals and archaeological investigations of the Ladle House...

This is an abstract from the "Historical Archaeologies of the American Southwest, 1800 to Today" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological legacy collections found in museums and repositories across the nation continue to present challenging and intriguing research opportunities. Basic processing of artifacts and field notes within these older collections can itself feel like an excavation and the slow process of addressing an institution’s...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Archaeology: Down by the Water" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Adopted by City Council in November of 1989 and incorporated into the zoning ordinance in 1992, Alexandria’s Archaeological Protection Code serves to preserve the city’s rich heritage for future generations of scholars and the public. Recent large-scale projects along the waterfront have unearthed amazing finds, perhaps beyond what the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent fieldwork in the southern and southeastern foothills of the San Mateo Mountains of south-central New Mexico has identified caves, rockshelters, rock art, non-standard settlements, and shrines and other ritual architecture located on hilltops. These finds reveal a landscape of rich cosmological significance to ancestral Pueblo Mimbres and Jornada...

Since 2012, Brown University has conducted annual excavations on College Hill with the aim of understanding diachronic changes in the campus’ physical environment and student activities. This poster presents the results of archaeometric research conducted on a variety of artifacts (ceramic, glass, and metal) excavated from a single context abutting Hope College dormitory (constructed 1822). The artifacts were analyzed using p-XRF, optical microscopy, SEM, and EDS, in order to understand their...

            In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the town of Ste. Genevieve (in present-day Missouri) was supported by agriculture, salt production, and fur-trading, all of which were dependent on enslaved African American and Native American laborers.  French emigrants and New World French descendants made up the majority of Euro-American settlers and French cultural traditions structured daily life in the community.  The built environment included architectural barriers, a...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Cultural memories in Fredericksburg, Virginia, are numerous and pervasive. While some stories are rooted in recorded data, others are the product of changing tales over time—modified as they filter through the lens of cultural consciousness. Recognition of these traditions is imperative during urban archaeology. In 2018, Dovetail Cultural...
