The Bureau of Land Management is aware of the evidence for long-term human habitation along Bonita Creek. It has been said that, at times during the last century, Bonita Creek was home to perhaps dozens of families. Details of this period of occupation are, however, wanting. In addition, the town of Safford has been drawing substantial quantities of water from Bonita Creek for many years. How has this history of human use affected the environment of Bonita Creek? To answer this question, the...
Fedickschrift: Notes on a Prominent Historical Figure in Ethnoecology, Ethnoarchaeology, and Landscape Studies (2015)
The legacy of Scott Fedick in ethnoecology, ethnoarchaeology, and landscape studies cannot be understated. Aside from years of active collaborative work and mentorship, the dissemination of his research has led to rich interpretations far beyond his immediate influence. In the first part of this paper, I follow impacts of Fedick's scholarship in several fields, as tracked through citations and students. I also trace his impacts on public policy and common understandings of Maya lifeways. In...
Flora, Ethnoecology, and Foodways in the Land of the Sky (2017)
Analysis of botanical residues recovered from the Río Verde Valley has yielded a wealth of information about activities of ancient inhabitants. Data from this paper were derived from large-scale excavations at the Terminal Formative urban center of Río Viejo, and the Terminal Formative outlying sites of Cerro de la Virgen and Loma Don Genaro. Evidence of agricultural practices as well as the collection of wild and fallow-dwelling plants have been revealed through charred seeds and other...
Getting to the root (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Estuarine root gardens are poorly understood and under-researched sites of Indigenous plant cultivation on the Northwest Coast of North America. Combining archaeology, ecology and pedology, and drawing from research conducted on 'Namgis and Ahousaht First Nations territories in British Columbia, Canada, this research proposes a novel method to aid in the...
Relatives of the Deep: Situated Knowledge and Archaeological Remote Sensing to Assess Climate Change Vulnerability at Tl’ches (2017)
Sellemah/Joan Morris, a Coast Salish Nation elder, was raised at Tl’ches, an archipelago of low islands in the Salish Sea of southwestern British Columbia. Islands are familial places in the Coast Salish world, the word translating to "relatives or ancestors of the deep." Ongoing archaeological and ethnoecological research indicates this island ecosystem was shaped by millennia of resource management and subsistence practices. In 1957, a drinking water shortage forced residents to move to...
