Sustainability and Tradition in Anindo Village, Okinawa, Japan (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alex Sweeney. Kara Bridgman Sweeney. Naoki Higa. Takumi Kishimoto. Naho Ishiki.

A recent collaborative effort by Japanese and American archaeologists and environmental scientists identified and examined the historic (ca. 1897-late 1950s) Anindo Village. Located within the stream valleys and mountainous uplands of the Kanna Watershed in central Okinawa, Japan, Anindo Village was a short-lived reclaimed land settlement dependent on both agricultural and forestry-based economic practices. This paper examines the distribution of archaeological sites and the natural and cultural...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Julie Esdale. Heather Hardy. Whitney McLaren.

This is an abstract from the "Posters on the Archaeology of the Southern Yukon-Alaska Borderlands" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Taiy Tsadlh or Six Mile Hill has been used since prehistoric times for a variety of activities, ranging from recreation, a military fuel terminal, ceremony, subsistence, and game spotting. Archaeological investigations have revealed six extensive prehistoric sites further documenting the rich history of the area. Lithic...

Tajahuana: New Insights into a Familiar Paracas Site (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Massey.

This is an abstract from the "Developments through Time on the South Coast of Peru: In Memory of Patrick Carmichael" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Paracas site of Tajahuana in the middle Ica Valley has been associated almost exclusively with the occupation of its summit known as La Peña. La Peña de Tajahuana was described by Menzel, Rowe, and Dawson as an important urban center corresponding to Phase 9 of the Ocucaje Sequence of Paracas...

Taking it to the Tuxtlas: How the BoM Survey Shaped Gulf Lowland Settlements (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Philip Arnold. Wesley Stoner.

This is an abstract from the "The Legacies of The Basin of Mexico: The Ecological Processes in the Evolution of a Civilization, Part 2" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Robert S. Santley was a junior, third author of the path-breaking The Basin of Mexico (Sanders et al. 1979). Nonetheless, his contribution to the volume was substantial, including co-writing almost 50% of the entire 500+ pages of text and producing almost all of the drawings and...

A tale of two towns: Demographic and economic change in two middle Yangzi communities (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Camilla Kelsoe. Dong Li.

The late Neolithic marked the emergence of a new kind of settlement pattern in the middle Yangzi river valley. During this period, large, tightly nucleated communities, many of which were surrounded by moats or walls, rapidly replaced the dispersed hamlets and small villages of the middle Neolithic. This dramatic transition in settlement organization may have been associated with significant changes in social and economic relations between individuals both within and between settlements. To...

Techniques of Modern Archeology (1983)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dallas A. Blanchard. Sandra K. Linton.

Technological Origins of the Denali Complex (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Buvit. Julie Esdale.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology of Alaska, the Gateway to the Americas" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Our understanding of the origins of early Alaskan assemblage variability is challenged by the co-occurrence or absence of two key lithic technologies—microblades and bifacial projectile points—and the variety of morphologies and production strategies within these categories. Alaskan archaeological complexes that existed prior to the...

The Temples of the Classical Kingdom of Bagan, Myanmar: The Bundling of Royalty, Religion, and People (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ellie Tamura.

This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Bagan was Myanmar’s political, economic, and cultural centre during the country’s Classical period (c. 800-1400 CE). Encompassing an area of 80 kilometers square, this landscape was home to approximately 4,000 brick monuments. These monuments were the result of the Buddhist pursuit of merit-making, the idea that...

Temporal Patterns in Diet and Population Movement within Greater Cahokia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kristin Hedman. Thomas Emerson. Timothy Pauketat. Matthew Fort.

This is an abstract from the "Migration and Climate Change: The Spread of Mississippian Culture" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. At its peak, Greater Cahokia had a population of over 30,000 people, and engaged in social, political, and religious interactions that covered the midcontinent. The factors that influenced the rise and dissolution of Greater Cahokia between ca A.D. 1000 and 1300 remain a focus of inquiry. Archaeobotanical and isotopic...

Temporary Aggregation Sites in the Past: Are They Really So Strange and Anomalous? (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael E. Smith.

This is an abstract from the "Ephemeral Aggregated Settlements: Fluidity, Failure or Resilience?" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent research suggests that temporary aggregation sites were more common in the past than many traditional models would predict. Why have scholars failed to recognize these sites? Why do they seem so strange? Beyond the development of more refined methods of settlement analysis, a major reason is a pervasive conflation...

Terminal Pleistocene Depositional Patterns and their Hypothesized Impact on Human Populations in the Middle Atlantic Region, USA (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph Gingerich. Daniel Wagner. Kurt Carr.

Depositional regimes determine the burial and preservation of archaeological sites. Before, during, and after the Younger Dryas interval, we see differences in depositional patterns throughout the Middle Atlantic Region of the United States. In this paper we explore both differences and similarities in alluvial and eolian deposition within the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and Ridge and Valley physiographic provinces of eastern North America. Using select case studies, we explore what...

The Terminal Pleistocene-Early Holocene transition and settlement discontinuities in the arid Central Andes (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kurt Rademaker. Gordon Bromley.

The Central Andean region poses numerous environmental challenges, including hyper-aridity, rugged topography, strong seasonality, uneven spatial distribution of biotic resources, and high altitude, yet this area was colonized successfully in the Terminal Pleistocene. However, the archaeological record shows considerable discontinuity through the Terminal Pleistocene-Early Holocene transition, with site occupation hiatuses or abandonments often interpreted as having stemmed from unfavorable...

Terraces, Quarries, and Berms, Oh My! Evaluating Land Use and Landscape Modification at the Ancient Maya City El Pilar (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sherman Horn. Anabel Ford.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ongoing research at El Pilar—an ancient Maya city located along the Belize/Guatemala frontier—has documented hundreds of landscape-modification features in the area surrounding the monumental civic center. The complexity and variety of these features, which include terraces, berms, quarries, check-dams, and aguadas, indicate the sophistication of Maya...

Testing a Multi-Modal Remote Sensing Approach for Detecting Ancient Maya Sites With Low-Resolution Data (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Eric Fries.

In the absence of LiDAR and similar high-resolution data products, an alternative approach was developed to model and predict site location information from low-resolution, publicly available datasets such as ASTER, LANDSAT, and aerial photographs. Manipulating and combining the analyses of multiple datasets permits refinement of modeling and detection capabilities. A large database of known sites, in assorted topographic and vegetative conditions and degrees of exposure, was used as a...
