The peopling of high altitudes and altitude’s ecological analog, high latitude, are critical to understanding worldwide human dispersals and the diversity of human adaptation but are still quite poorly understood. Within this context, this paper presents a model for the initiation, establishment, and maintenance of permanent high altitude settlements, especially in middle latitudes. This model takes into account the limiting factors found in such settings, the costs and benefits of different...

The main targets were: 1) a potentially high-status Euro-American burial...
High Perspectives, Vertical Context, Drastic Change: A Case Study involving the Application of UAV/Drone Technologies for Documenting Historic Coastal Archaeological Sites Adversely Affected by the Impacts of Climate Change in Three Opposing Regions of the World. (2017)
The recent advancement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and affordability of Drone Technology has brought about the capacity for archaeologists to employ these new technologies as an effective means of documenting archaeological resources including historic sites specifically threatened with the immediate impacts of rising sea levels and climate change in coastal regions. This paper will provide an overview of new methodologies developed for Unmanned Aerial Archaeological Systems (UAARS) and...
High Place at the Water’s Edge: A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment of the Kiskiak Landscape (2018)
Coastal archaeological sites are threatened by a host of environmental change processes, including sea level rise, land subsidence, and shoreline erosion. The rates at which these processes have been occurring are increasing, exacerbated by climate change. This will cause further loss of archaeological sites and with them, the loss of knowledge of how coastal inhabitants lived and interacted with their landscape. My research assesses the vulnerability of prehistoric and Contact period Native...

High-Altitude Settlement as Evolutionary Process in Mid-Latitude North and South America (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite many similarities, aboriginal high-altitude occupations in the middle latitudes of North and South America differ in several ways. This paper compares and contrasts the behaviors that have been reconstructed in these locales and explores the principal drivers of high-altitude intensification—population pressure, climate change, and social...

High-Precision Chronology Building at Coastal Sites on California’s Channel Islands (2013)
Using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) techniques and chronology building calibration software that incorporates Bayesian statistics, it is possible to establish high-precision chronologies for complex sites. This includes shell midden sites, which are common along coastlines in the United States and often contain multiple distinct strata. We present the example of SCRI-333, on the western end of Santa Cruz Island, California. At this site, we selected carbonized twig and marine shell...
High-Resolution 2D and 3D Imaging of the USS Macon Wreck Site (2016)
USS Macon, the last large Navy airship, was lost along with the biplanes it carried off the coast of California in 1935. The wreck site was discovered in 1990, surveyed in 1991, 1992, and 2006, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. Visuals of the preservation level of the crash site, especially the still partially fabric-covered wings of the biplanes, are incredibly valuable for public engagement with the site. At 1500 ft depth and protected by the Monterey Bay National...
Highbourne Cay Shipwreck Revisited: 2015 Field Season and Preliminary Assessment (2016)
Previous investigations on the Highbourne Shipwreck in 1986 revealed key construction features that were backfilled for preservation. In May, 2015, a team of archaeologists returned to assess the site, and to answer reflexive questions regarding the effectiveness of partial excavations and backfill techniques. This new examination includes a pre-disturbance photogrammetry model, and limited shovel testing along previously excavated areas. Preliminary results discussed within this paper indicate...
The Highbourne Cay Shipwreck: Past, Present and Future (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the late-15th and early-16th centuries, the Spanish and Portuguese seaborne empires dramatically influenced most continents and societies on the planet. Despite these impacts, most specific knowledge of how these ships were built,...

Historic and Prehistoric Ruins of the Southwest and Their Preservation (1904)
The importance of the large number of historic and prehistoric ruins scattered over the semiarid region of the southwestern part of the United States has gradually come to be recognized. Every cliff dwelling, every prehistoric tower, communal house, shrine and burial mound is an object which can contribute something to the advancement of knowledge, and hence is worthy of preservation. Knowledge of the extent, location and nature of these ruins bas been accumulating for many years. We now know...
