This is an abstract from the "Recent Colonial Archaeological Research in the American Midcontinent" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper reports on a recent project to reanalyze the European-made ceramics from archaeological site 21MO20, an eighteenth-century fur trade post near present-day Little Falls, Minnesota. The original interpretation of site 21MO20 as a French-era trading post, possibly associated with French trader Joseph Marin, was...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Located in Eastern Oklahoma, Fort Gibson acted as the starting gate for America’s military expansion into the West. Founded in 1824, Fort Gibson played a role in mediating encounters between the Osage and Cherokee until 1857. The Fort reopened at the start of the American Civil War and operated until 1890. Fort Gibson serves as an excellent archaeological...

This is an abstract from the "From Households to Empires: Papers Presented in Honor of Bradley J. Parker" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper we seek to emulate two different aspects of Bradley J. Parker’s career: his transition from the Near East to the Andes and his interest in the theoretical underpinnings of frontier communities. We are inspired by his work on frontiers and borderlands in our own work in these regions and use his...

Why study ceramics at all? What is the point of analyzing hundreds and thousands of small, broken pieces of pottery? This paper explores these, and other questions, within the context of Classic Maya civilization. Too often, it seems, ceramic analysis is used as a loose chronological framework, used solely to construct broad frameworks of relative dating. These frameworks are then applied to archaeological assemblages, placing them within chronologically bounded "ceramic complexes" and...

What purpose did Woodland period shell rings along the Gulf Coast of Florida hold? These unique architectural features have been explained as specific patterns of trash disposal, protection against flooding events, and as barriers from intruders, among other things, but no answers have stood to truly explain their proliferation and significance during the Woodland period. Recent excavations in 2015 by Dr. Mike Russo (National Park Service) and in 2016 by Dr. Tanya Peres (Florida State...

This is an abstract from the "Technology and Design in 4th and 3rd Millennium BCE China" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There have been many debates on the function of jiandiping (or pointed base) amphorae of the Yangshao Culture in the Wei River valley. Although analyses of plant residue suggested that the amphorae might have been used as wine vessels, their function and the usage are still in doubt. Based on the observations of typological...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Method and Theory: Papers in Honor of James M. Skibo, Part I" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. James Skibo’s seminal works on pottery function created a valuable model for assessing the role of pottery in the lives of past peoples. While this approach has broad applicability for ceramic assemblages worldwide, its efficacy has been demonstrated through a series of studies on ancient pottery assemblages...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Gallina (AD 1100-1300) people of northwestern New Mexico produced both Black-on-Gray and utility ware ceramics. Gallina ceramics appear to be produced at the household level with no evidence for specialization. Little is known about Gallina ceramic production practices and few compositional analyses have been conducted. This pilot study examines ceramics...

Ceramic discoidals represent a commonplace but often overlooked artifact found at many Mississippian sites. Generally, these important cultural objects are classified by archaeologists as gaming pieces. This assumption is based on European descriptions of Native American games. However, uncertainty remains regarding the function and significance of this class of artifact with no conclusive evidence that discoidals were used exclusively for games. Additionally, comparing ceramic discoidals with...

This is an abstract from the "Reassessing Chupícuaro–Cuicuilco Relationships in Light of Ceramic Production (Formative Mesoamerica)" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the framework of the CHUPICERAM project, we perform geochemical analyses to investigate the chemical composition of the pastes and the decorations of ceramic wares excavated from two different archaeological sites (TR6 / JR24) and assigned to two different periods (Chupícuaro /...

This is an abstract from the "Emerging Voices in Mogollon Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology Southwest and the University of Arizona’s Upper Gila Preservation Archaeology (UGPA) Field School has conducted excavations for six field seasons (2016–2019; 2021–2022) at the Gila River Farm Site. This paper evaluates intrasite coalescence between a small migrant community with ancestry linked to the Kayenta-Tusayan area and local...

The production of Gobernador Polychrome Pottery by the Navajo people, is entangled in many social and material negotiations of survivance. Its production in the Dinetah Region of New Mexico, during the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth century place it in a time of Native resistance to Spanish colonization in Northern New Mexico. This resistance, in the form of a pan-Indian uprising, the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, sets the stage in which the production of Gobernador Polychrome emerged and...

The Great Hungarian Plain is densely populated with fortified tell sites dating to the second millennium BC. At the end of the Middle Bronze Age (c.1400 BC), however, these settlements were abandoned. Traditionally, archaeologists argued that locals were run off by invading Tumulus culture groups or suffered an environmental disaster. The lack of non-tell contexts and radiocarbon dates bridging this transition precluded an understanding of what changed after the tells were abandoned, and what...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Method and Theory: Papers in Honor of James M. Skibo, Part II" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pots with rims formed into distinct collars appear in the western Great Lakes during the early eleventh century A.D. and appear to have been produced well into the fourteenth century A.D. Such "collared ware" has a wide, though uneven distribution in the region and includes at least three types of true collared...

The islands of the Coiba National Park (CNP) are located on the continental platform of Panama and the southeastern fringes of the Greater Chiriquí cultural region. During the period of the earliest human migrations to the isthmus (ca. 13,000 - 10,000 a.P.) these islands were connected to the mainland, although the current state of research cannot provide evidence of being inhabited earlier than ca. 1800 B.P. Multidisciplinary research aimed to study the long-term impacts of human on the insular...
