This is an abstract from the "WHY PLATFORM MOUNDS? PART 1: MOUND DEVELOPMENT AND CASE STUDIES" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As time passes, fewer and fewer of us retain an intimate knowledge of the site of Las Colinas and the excavations that took place there in the 1960s and 1980s. Published artifact data for the site do not accommodate certain research interests, including inquiry into Salado polychrome ceramics, a significant ceramic category...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The archaeology of the Postclassic (c. AD 900-1520) Basin of Mexico (BOM) is among the most intensively studied in the New World. In spite of this, longstanding questions about population dynamics and social change remain unresolved due to the persistent gaps and coarse resolution of its regional-scale ceramic chronology. Ongoing fieldwork and...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology in Color: Undergraduate Voices on Their Time in the Discipline" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Within the growing subfield of Indigenous Archaeology there is still a large gap in meaningfully addressing removal, characterized by the Indian Removal Act of 1830 that aimed to relocate Indigenous people West of the Mississippi through treaties and by force. Indigenous students experience an added personal...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Late Mississippian ceramic assemblages from the Georgia coast contain abundant quantities of complicated stamped pottery. Motifs include concentric circles, figure nines, nested squares, and the filfot cross. Recent research tracking filfot cross design variation from assemblages on St. Catherines Island, GA was successful in identifying twelve unique...

Regional integration as materialized by the connections created through sacbeob can widely transform political, economic and social institutions in the participant communities. Perceiving the process through dichotomies such as center-periphery or paramount-subordinate clouds the agency of the multiple stakeholders involved in the matter. Active manipulation of social systems by intermediate elites and the commoner population seems to have had a great influence on the general process of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pottery in the US Southwest has long been studied for the insights it provides into social identity. Differences in construction may suggest differences in conceptions of the correct way to make a ceramic vessel; when studied through the lens of practice theory, variation in form speaks to alternate communities of practice and may show boundaries in...

This is an abstract from the "Essential Contributions from African to Global Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Igor Kopytoff’s (1987) model of the African Internal Frontier has impacted archaeological research in many areas of the world, including the US Southwest. His model has undergone considerable rethinking, such as Akinwumi Ogundiran’s (2014) work on the historical period of southwest Nigeria. We revisit the internal frontier model...

This paper explores the value of network analysis as a method for the quantitative assessment of trade systems with the aim of profiling the structural nature of their associated political institutions. This study will focus on trade in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1700 to 1200 BCE), and includes a network analysis of Cypriot and Mycenaean pottery circulated throughout Egypt, Cyprus, and the Levant. The analysis of ceramic distribution networks demonstrates a high...

This is an abstract from the "Cholula to Chachoapan: Celebrating the Career of Michael Lind" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The culture history of Cholula (Puebla, Mexico) has been a roller coaster as different scholars with different paradigms have radically altered direction over the past 100 years. Consequently, when I got onboard the consensus was that Cholula had been abandoned at the end of the Classic period, in the same way as Teotihuacan,...

Enmarcado dentro del Proyecto de Investigación Prehistoria Urbana Huari 2017 se realizó un hallazgo peculiar de objetos cerámicos interrelacionados temporal y espacialmente. El grupo de objetos encontrados —que preliminarmente tiene relevancia simbólica temprana— fue hallado como un relleno de prepiso y con posibilidad de uso ritual. Su importancia es que es el primero en encontrarse de manera intacta e interrelacionado con una posible arquitectura doméstica. Entre las preguntas preliminares...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Otter Creek site is one of five Bold Counselor Oneota villages in the Central Illinois River Valley (CIRV). While it is one of two sites in the region with little to no evidence of cohabitation between nonlocal Oneota and local Mississippian groups, Otter Creek has received far fewer archaeological investigations than other Bold Counselor sites. This...

In 1985, the Bureau of Reclamation directed the Cultural Resource Management Division of the Arizona State Museum to develop a research design for data recovery at 15 selected archaeological sites along the Phase B alignment of the Tucson Aqueduct portion of the Central Arizona Project. Phase B included Reaches 4, 5, and 6 of the alignment. The sample included five Hohokam settlement sites: Fastimes (AZ AA:12:384 [ASM]), Waterworld (AZ AA:16:94[ASM]), AZ AA:16:97(ASM), AA:16:104(ASM), and...

Every site has at least one: the worked sherd. Game piece? Scraper? Spindle whorl? Miscellaneous ceramic object? Different analysts categorize these easily recognized but not always easily interpreted artifacts in different ways. In this presentation, we examine worked sherd assemblages from three 13th-15th century Ancestral Puebloan villages. Differences among these assemblages attest to variable contexts of use and meaning for worked sherds. We argue that individual worked sherds should be...

Kaminaljuyu is a site of critical importance that has been partly destroyed by Guatemala City. However, there is important evidence buried in locations that have not been previously considered for research. Most of the excavations at Kaminaljuyu have taken place inside mounds, offering information on a sector of the society. This research has yielded data on the site´s chronology, function of the mounds, and site layout. Recent excavations have uncovered important information regarding specific...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We examine the use of cooking vessels from Early Postclassic (AD 900-1250) Xaltocan, Mexico, through residue analysis of ceramic sherds. The analysis combined phytolith, pollen, and starch analyses with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) conducted at the Paleoresearch Institute. Because our...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The 2024 field season at El Remanso, a rural-residential site in the department of Escuintla, Guatemala, yielded a significant quantity of Teotihuacan-related ceramic vessels and figurines alongside distinctively local artifacts. The nature of interaction between Teotihuacan and the Maya area has long been a focus of anthropological scholarship, and the...
