In May of 1987, the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology was informed that human remains were being unearthed by road construction in a private residential development on Folly Island, South Carolina. This information led to a two year investigation of the 1863 winter camp of the Federal Army, used during its siege of Charleston. During the investigations a black military cemetery was salvaged (site 38CH920), and three areas of the Federal camp were examined as part of a data...

This paper examines the mortuary rituals that formed the elaborate burial deposits in the central portion of Pueblo Bonito, in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. I argue that the performance of these mortuary rituals in Room 33 created a powerful tableaux that was actively remembered within the pueblo. Evaluation of the different elements of the performance suggests that the deposit was a collective burial that may be viewed as a narrative.

For over a hundred years, Americans have been intrigued by the ancient remains of human art, activities, and settlements in the Greater Southwest. By the turn of the century archaeologists knew that the haunting cliff dwellings were left by the Anasazi farmers who lived in the region 700 to 900 years ago. But it was only in the 1930’s and 1940’s that archaeologists discovered evidence of the first people in the southwest. Although these people lived for over 6000 years in the Canyonlands...

The Walter F. George Lock and Dam is a United States Army Corps of Engineers project located south of Columbus, Georgia on the eastern bank of the Chattahoochee River. Prior to the construction of the dam, there were already obvious indications that the Cemochechobee site (9CY62, formerly 9CLA62) was rapidly being eroded due to the ebb and flow of the Chattahoochee River. Prior to the archaeological salvage of Cemochechobee, the dam had also significantly damaged that portion of the site facing...
