The Two Pillars of the Kingdom of Bagan, Myanmar: How Royalty and Religion Shaped the Settlement Patterns of an Empire (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ellie Tamura.

Bagan was the political, economic, and cultural centre of Myanmar during the country’s Classical Period (c. 800 – 1400 CE). This immense empire operated primarily on two institutions: the crown and the sangha (Buddhist monkhood). Kutho (merit) was arguably one of the most important Buddhist doctrines in Bagan as it was believed to guarantee better social status upon reincarnation. Kutho, for the elite, was most commonly obtained by contributing large donations to the sangha. These donations took...


A Typology of Late Archaic Ceramic Evidence from Okeechobee Basin to Determine Regional Interactions (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelly Jones. William Locascio.

Analysis of ceramic sherds collected during excavations at the Wedgworth Midden (8PB16175) permits insight into regional interactions during the Late Archaic period. Saint John's Plain, a chalky ware associated with people to the north of the Okeechobee Basin, constitutes a significant proportion of the assemblage and suggests that Late Archaic communities in the Northern Everglades maintained social interactions with people living in the St. Johns River Valley. While preliminary, these patterns...

Uncertainty Specialists: A Diversity of Late Upper Paleolithic Adaptations in the Dinaric Alps (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Dusan Boric. Nikola Borovinic. Emanuela Cristiani. Adisa Lepic. Andrea Zupancich.

This is an abstract from the "Interdisciplinary Research into the Late Pleistocene of Europe" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper looks at the results of recent research at several late Upper Palaeolithic sites in the area of the Dinaric Alps within the Eastern Adriatic catchment zone in present-day Montenegro and Herzegovina. For the first time in this region, a long-term persistence of the phenomenon of broad spectrum dietary strategy...


Under the Church Bell: Reducción and Control in Spanish Philippines (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jared Koller. Stephen Acabado.

The Spanish conquest of the Philippines redesigned the indigenous landscape to adhere to the idealized orthogonal plan outlined by King Philip II’s Ordinances of 1573, centered on the church plaza. This reconfiguration facilitated the successful political, economic, and religious control of the colonial possession. An aspect of this resettlement plan is the concept of Bajo de Campana (under the bell) that implied control through the ringing of the church bell. The plaza complex, which is...


Underwater Archaeological Survey of Freshwater Lagoons in the Lacanja Basin, Chiapas, Mexico (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jason Paling. Marx Navarro Castillo. Justin Lowry.

The intrinsic relationship between human beings and bodies of water is unquestionable. Among the ancient Maya it has been observed that many of their agricultural cults were linked to existing bodies of water where they settled. In the Maya Northern Lowlands, multiple underwater archaeological studies of cenotes record this behavior as offerings of luxury items and human sacrifice are often recovered and noted. The Rancho Ojo de Agua archaeological project focuses on the basin of the Lacanhá...


The Undiscovered Country: New Insights into the Anchan Tradition of Central Arizona (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Abraham Arnett. Joey LaValley. Travis Cureton.

Between November 2016 and September 2017 archaeological surveys performed by Logan Simpson on behalf of the Tonto National Forest in the Hell's Hole region of central Arizona revealed an abundance of previously undocumented Anchan and early Salado Tradition Settlements. Numerous single room habitations or field houses and large masonry structures with fully enclosing plaza or compound walls indicate a substantial population in an area traditionally considered a hinterland between the Sonoran...

The Usage of Levels of Detail in LiDAR Survey to Increase the Digital Applications on Maya Archaeology. (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Cristina Gonzalez Esteban. James Bacon. Angel Morales Sanchez.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The advantages of LiDAR survey applied to the identification of Archaeology under forested areas has been evident since the early 21st century. Most LiDAR studies have been done by placing the laser devices on aircraft, and in more recent years, drones. However, this is still quite an expensive endeavour that relies on several variables to succeed (forest...

Using 3D Geographic Information Systems to Understand Settlement Decisions at Calakmul (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only William Folan. Terance L. Winemiller. Lynda Florey Folan.

In 1982, fifty years after the Carnegie Institution of Washington surveyed and mapped sections of Calakmul, a project under the direction of William J. Folan began mapping the site. The completed map published in 2001 covers 30 square kilometers of the ancient site. Many printed maps or datasets like those from Calakmul created with laser total stations or conventional surveying equipment can provide the essential geospatial information to produce accurate topographic maps and 3D map objects...

Coupled with the complete survey coverage of large areas of the installation, this data was used for a landscape...


Using LiDAR and Environmental Suitability Models to Predict Probable Locations of Ancient Settlements in Manabí, Ecuador (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Terance Winemiller. J.J. Ortiz-Aguilú. María Isabel Silva-Iturralde. Jaime Andrés Velázquez-Mora.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In recent years, LIDAR has gained popularity among archaeological researchers for its capability to reveal ancient settlement features hidden beneath dense vegetation coverage in heavily forested areas. More often, these studies have revealed undocumented monumental architecture and in some cases modified landscapes such as agricultural terraces, canals, and...


Using Predictive Modeling to Evaluate Changes in Great Basin Paleoindian Settlement Systems through Time (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica Bradley. Geoffrey Smith. Kenneth Nussear.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Great Basin underwent considerable environmental change during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition, such as lower precipitation, increased temperatures, and the diminishment of lakes and wetlands. Archaeologists have long hypothesized that people responded by altering their settlement-subsistence strategies. Some models outlining these responses...


Utilization and Field Testing of LiDAR in the Maya Hinterlands (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Marisol Cortes-Rincon. Jonathan Roldan. Cady Rutherford. Byron Smith. Walter Tovar Saldana.

Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an active remote-sensing technique which records the surface of the earth using laser scanning. The recent acquisition of LiDAR data for a portion of the Three Rivers regions in northwestern Belize offered the opportunity for a new way to analyze settlement and landscape utilization by the ancient Maya. This paper will focus on the systematic analysis of the dataset, ground verification, and post-processing methodologies. ArcGIS was used for the...


VAFB-1981-09: Range Improvement Project, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Santa Barbara County, California (1981)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Roberta S. Greenwood. John S. Foster.

Archaeological investigations were undertaken by Greenwood and Associates for 12 archaeological sites (CA-SBa-603, 625, 722, 962, 978, 1007, 1008, 1009, 1011, 1019, 1020, and 1111) of which four sites are located on South Vandenberg and the remaining eight are located in North Vandenberg. It is the focus of this study to determine if the Range Improvement Project will have an adverse effect on cultural resources located within the project area. The investigations indicated that one site...

Variation in the Configuration of the Middle Snake River and its Relationship to Prehistoric Fishing Site Locations (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph Wardle.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology on the Edge(s): Transitions, Boundaries, Changes, and Causes" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The configuration of the various elements of a river system can have significant impacts on the availability, abundance, and nutritional profitability of aquatic organisms utilized as food by groups of human foragers. These factors may have influenced where and when Late Archaic foragers decided to fish along the...
