Eaton Site
This project contains data from 17 seasons of excavation from the Eaton Site in West Seneca, NY just south of the city of Buffalo. It is a multi-component site that was occupied intermittently from late Paleo-Indian times through the early 19th century when it contained a cabin on what was then the Buffalo Creek Reservation. The bulk of material recovered from the site is from an Iroquoian village dating to the mid-sixteenth century. The major portions of three longhouses and a palisade...
Ecology Needs Archaeologists: Archaeology Needs Ecologists (2006)
Over the past five decades, ecologists and archaeologists have dismantled two longstanding theoretical constructs. Ecologists have rejected the “balance of nature” concept and archaeologists have dispelled the myth that indigenous people were “in harmony with nature”. Rejection of these concepts poses critical challenges to both fields as current disciplinary approaches are inadequate to grapple effectively with real-world complexities of socioecological systems. In this review, we focus on the...
The Economic Base of an Ancient Maya City (2005)
Intensive agriculture supported large ancient Maya populations. However, there have been few attempts to understand how agriculture was integrated with the political economy of a Maya city and that city’s interaction with other polities. The site of Blue Creek in northern Belize offers the opportunity to begin to assess these relationships. Blue Creek had access to enormous agricultural resources and direct access to the riverine coastal trade system. The combination of these factors enabled...
The Effects of Twentieth - Century Globalization on the Built Envrionment of Silvituc, Campeche, Mexico (2007)
To better understand the role of globalization in culture change, this thesis investigates how the growing global economy of the twentieth century has affected the Maya community of Silvituc, Campeche, Mexico, and how those influences are reflected in the archaeological record. By applying both a macro-scale and microscale approach this study demonstrates how wage labor and surrounding land developments, such as the introduction of a highway, have been incorporated into a subsistence-based...

The team visited and assessed each building and wrote current building descriptions based on this fieldwork. Each entry...
Eolian Deposition and Soil Fertility in a Prehistoric Agricultural Complex in Central Arizona (2012)
Prehistoric farmers in the semi-arid American Southwest were challenged by marked spatial and temporal variation in, and overall low levels of, precipitation with which to grow their crops. One strategy they employed was to modify their landscape with rock alignments in order to concentrate surface water flow on their fields. A second challenge that has been less focused on by archaeologists is the need to maintain soil fertility by replenishing nutrients removed from the soil by agricultural...
