‘Superior Quality’: Exploring the nature of cost, quality and value in historical archaeology (2008)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Penny Crook.

This dissertation represents an exploration of three key concepts in nineteenth-century consumerism: cost, quality and value. Broadly conceived as an archaeology of consumption, it evaluates the role these concepts play in approaching the archaeological material culture of the modern world. It interweaves two primary strands of inquiry: one, a consumption-theory driven study of trade catalogues to analyse the cost and promotion of 19th-century tablewares; and two, a close study of production...

Surface and Archaeological Sediment Pollen Studies in the Mammoth Cave National Park Study Area: A Methodological and Interpretive Report (1978)
DOCUMENT Full-Text James Schoenwetter.

Studied modern pollen rain/vegetation pattern relationships through discriminant functions analysis in Mammoth Cave National Park, KY, and archaeological-context pollen records from local Middle Woodland and Late Woodland sites. Concludes that analysis of this sort identifies control data for interpreting archaeological pollen records in terms of paleovegetation and paleoecological patterns.


Surface Geology, Paleoenvironment, and Paleoclimate of Stonewall Mountain, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (2014)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert P. Dickerson. Amy Foreman.

Field studies for geomorphology, paleoenvironment, paleohydrology, plant ecology, and isotope geology were conducted at Stonewall Mountain and Stonewall Flat during the spring and summer of 2010 in support of Nellis AFB archaeological and ethnographic studies of the Stonewall Mountain region. These studies revealed natural resources for water, shelter, lithic tools, sulfur, and certain earth pigments exist at Stonewall Mountain and the Goldfield Hills. The playa in Stonewall Flat hosted a robust...

Surveying the Field: Finding Common Cause in the Three Archaeologies (2015)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard H. Wilshusen.

The three major employers of archaeologists in the US--the academy, the government, and cultural resource management (CRM) firms--agree on very few things. Archaeologists in each of these three groups have become increasingly specialized in particular practices: Federal, state, and tribal archaeologists specialize in planning and reviewing archaeological matters, CRM archaeologists are great at doing archaeology, and the academy considers that it is far better at thinking about archaeology and...

Surviving Sudden Environmental Change: Answers from Archaeology (2012)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Leigh Anne Ellison

Archaeologists have long encountered evidence of natural disasters through excavation and stratigraphy. In Surviving Sudden Environmental Change, case studies examine how eight different past human communities-ranging from Arctic to equatorial regions, from tropical rainforests to desert interiors, and from deep prehistory to living memory-faced and coped with such dangers.Many disasters originate from a force of nature, such as an earthquake, cyclone, tsunami, volcanic eruption, drought, or...


Sustaining Database Semantics (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Keith Kintigh.

This paper argues that the semantic content of digital databases is rarely adequately documented. It proposes a specification for what is necessary to document the semantics of a database and therefore sustain their analytical utility. It outlines an approach to documenting database semantics utilized by Digital Antiquity’s repository, tDAR. It concludes with a discussion of how the metadata documentation used by tDAR can be used to facilitate the integration of data across databases employing...


Sustaining Irrigation Agriculture for the Long-Term: Lessons on Maintaining Soil Quality from Ancient Agricultural Fields in the Phoenix Basin and on the North Coast of Peru (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Colleen Strawhacker.

Irrigation agriculture has been heralded as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. To this end, irrigation agriculture is both extensifying and intensifying in arid regions across the world in an effort to create highly productive agricultural systems. Over one third of modern irrigated fields, however, show signs of serious soil degradation, including salinization and waterlogging, which threaten the productivity of these fields and the world’s food supply. Surprisingly, little...
