The Current State of Settlement Archaeology in the Study of Southeast Asia’s Preindustrial State Formations: The Critical Appraisal of a Scholarly Interloper (2023)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. An overview of the extensive use of settlement archaeology in Maya studies provides an entry point for a critical consideration of the comparatively limited role that this method has played in the study of the preindustrial states of Southeast Asia, especially when it comes to investigating the habitation sites of the...
The Cusco Valley Road System (2019)
This is an abstract from the "How Did the Inca Construct Cuzco?" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Inca road system in the Cusco Valley has been remarkably understudied and undertheorized despite lying at the heart of the largest empire in the Americas and being the origin point for a road system designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Far from the simplistic vision of four primary roads emanating to the four corners of Tawantinsuyu, this...
cyberSW: A Data Synthesis and Knowledge Discovery System for Long-Term Interdisciplinary Research on Southwest Social Change (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A major challenge in using archaeological data at large, regional scales is that information is not digitally curated or synthesized beyond individual projects. A number of recent synthesis projects in the U.S. Southwest show the great potential of these data for addressing important social science questions such as: What promotes the success or failure of...

Dating Pacific Period Settlement Pattern Dynamics in the Prince Rupert Harbor Region of Northern British Columbia. (2015)
A large regional suite of radiocarbon dates documents changing Pacific Period settlement patterns in the Prince Rupert Harbor region of northern British Columbia. Late Pleistocene/Holocene sea level changes focuses discussion on the last 5000 years. At that time, the settlement pattern appears to be one of small, one to four house communities dispersed across the sea-scape. Non-residential middens are present throughout the Holocene. Larger linear villages appear after 5000 calBP and larger...
A Deeper Look at Lake Jackson: New Insights into Settlement Patterns and Ritual Space at a Florida Mississippian Center (2015)
This poster presents the results of magnetometer and ground penetrating radar surveys as well as excavations conducted in 2014 at the Lake Jackson site located in northwest Florida. The geophysical and excavation results augmented with previously recorded site data provide a new view of occupation and architectural placement in and around the mound complex. Evidence from the remote sensing survey reveals several anomalies that represent probable Mississippian-style structures, while shovel test...
Defining Rurality at La Joyanca and Naachtun (Guatemala): Land Use, Architecture and Social Dynamics (2018)
Based on the study of two Classic Maya Lowland sites, La Joyanca and Naachtun (Guatemala), this paper explores the topic of rurality through the parameters of potential land use, visible architectural variation, and plausible population mobility. La Joyanca was a medium-sized settlement surrounded by villages and hamlets all of which were recorded by means of conventional surface mapping, whereas Naachtun was a regional capital located amidst extended communities linked by causeways that have...
Defining the Izapa polity with lidar and pedestrian survey (2015)
This paper reports the results of the first systematically collected Formative-period settlement data from the area around Izapa. Three environmental zones (coastal plain, low hills and piedmont) were documented by the Izapa Regional Settlement Project combining lidar and pedestrian survey methods. Results indicate population was highest on the coastal plain from 1700-850BC as a series of four sequential political centers rose and fell, each lasting for a century or two. After 850BC collapse of...
Demography, Heritage, and Archaeology: A View from Australia (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Peopling the Past: Critically Evaluating Settlement and Regional Population Estimates with New Methods and Demographic Modeling" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper presents a cautionary case study in heritage and archaeology from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, which is undergoing a rapid transformation due to an unprecedented program of urban and regional development. Following the author’s previous work in...

The Desakota as a Model for Understanding Dense Urban-Agrarian Settlement among the Ancient Maya (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Large-scale surveys using lidar and other remote sensing technologies have revealed that Maya urban centers were much larger in both settlement area and number of features than previously thought, while also incorporating various forms of large-scale anthropogenic landscape modification for the purposes of intensive agricultural production. These findings...

Despotism in the Southern Sierra Nevada: Linking Habitat Distribution and Tubatulabal Territorial Behavior (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Fifty Years of Fretwell and Lucas: Archaeological Applications of Ideal Distribution Models" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fifty years after their introduction, ideal distribution models have recently contributed to our understanding of numerous behavioral processes. In this paper, I argue these models hold the potential to increase our understanding of a broader suite of behaviors including, but not limited to,...
Did restructuring at the end of the Maya Classic period include the beginnings of private land tenure? (2016)
The archaeological study of land tenure in non-literate societies is methodologically complex. However, by examining situations before, during and after transitions, insight can be gained. The end of the Maya Classic period, complexes of field walls were built, especially in coastal locations. These appear to not have water control or land management functions but instead delineate space similarly to house lots in contemporary, but traditional, Maya villages. Land tenure at the center of Blue...
Digitally Augmented Survey of Southern Veracruz Using Open-Source LiDAR Data (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Regional and Intensive Site Survey: Case Studies from Mesoamerica" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In recent years, the Mexican Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) released a LiDAR-based digital elevation module (DEM) that provides a mechanism to augment the area covered by pedestrian surveys. The DEM is of low resolution (5-m horizontal grid) compared to research-grade LIDAR studies in Mesoamerica,...
