This is an abstract from the "Cross-Cultural Petrographic Studies of Ceramic Traditions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In northwestern China’s Gansu Province, painted pottery from the late Neolithic Majiayao Culture has long been admired for its skillful construction and beautiful painted motifs. Since the majority of whole vessels have been recovered from graves, it has generally been assumed that these items were produced primarily for mortuary...
Who Founded Quilcapampa? Wari Agents, Social Network Analysis, and the Unfurling of a Middle Horizon State (2018)
At the beginning of the ninth century AD, a Wari-affiliated settlement was founded in the Sihuas Valley of southern Peru. Celebrants ritually smashed face-necked jars when they abandoned the site less than a century later. These vessels likely represent elites or ethnic groups in the Wari sphere - agents whose associations in conflict or cooperation can be used to tell a more dynamic story of the founding of Quilcapampa during this turbulent era of Wari state expansion. This paper uses social...

This is an abstract from the "Improving and Decolonizing Precontact Legacy Collections with Fieldwork: Making Sense of Harvard’s Turpin Site Expedition (Ohio)" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many early professional archaeological investigations in the Ohio River Valley resulted in legacy collections lacking in a variety of ways. The Turpin site, excavated by Harvard University in the late nineteenth century, is an early Fort Ancient village...

With the Best In the House: Ceramic Analysis of a Nineteenth-Century Irish-American Household (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Anthony Farmstead (SOM.HA.4) in Somerset, Bristol County, Massachusetts, was established in 1757 and passed father-to-son through multiple generations of a prosperous New England Yankee family until the mid-nineteenth century, when the property was rented out to tenants. The longest tenant occupation of the property was by a young Irish immigrant...
Women's Networks and the Foundations of Mississippian Politics (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Kin, Clan, and House: Social Relatedness in the Archaeology of North American Societies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mississippian societies were undoubtedly underwritten by networks of kin, clan, and other social relationships that are difficult to discern in the archaeological record. Structures of social networks provide contexts for social, political, and economic institutions and serve as conduits through...
Woodland and Late Precontact Interaction along the Saint Croix River Corridor in Minnesota and Wisconsin (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Interactions across the North American Midcontinent" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Saint Croix River is a major tributary to the Upper Mississippi River and forms a boundary between eastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. Flowing southward out of northwestern Wisconsin and entering the Mississippi near the Twin Cities, this 170-mile, north–south valley offered a passageway connecting communities of the...

Working toward a Lost Cause? Comparing Handheld XRF Analysis to Neutron Activation Analysis and Petrography Using Maya Ceramics from Holtun, Guatemala (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent research has demonstrated that Handheld (portable) X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (pXRF) have difficulty in consistently and accurately determining chemical composition of non-homogenous cultural materials such as ceramics. This is unfortunate as pXRF instruments have proven to produce accurate and consistent compositional data for other...

Yes, Virginia, There Is a Nineteenth Century in Maine (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Building Bridges: Papers in Honor of Teresita Majewski" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Northern New England has a rich and lengthy postcontact occupation history. New England archaeologists, historians, and SHPOs long focused on the “First” periods of settlement, such as seventeenth-century forts and eighteenth-century maritime sites, while nineteenth-century resources were dismissed. As Terry’s first PhD student, I...

You Spin Me Right Round: Reading Southwest Indented Corrugated Pottery for Movement and Directionality (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Corrugated vessels are ubiquitous in the northern U.S. Southwest, and yet their research potential is often overlooked. This study examines corrugated pottery to determine how much uniformity or variability goes into the process of manufacturing these everyday, utilitarian objects. The sample comprises Ancestral Puebloan and Mogollon corrugated vessels from...
