DOCUMENT Citation Only John Crock.

This is an abstract from the "Coloring Outside the Lines: Re-situating Understandings of the Lifeways of Earliest Peoples of the Circum-Caribbean" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Significant site loss due to sea-level rise and modern development significantly impacts the known and potentially present inventory of archaeological sites attributable to the initial peopling of small islands in the northern Lesser Antilles. Coastlines available for...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The first excavation study of the Virgin Puebloan structures at Mt. Trumbull in the Arizona Strip was recently conducted after more than 15 years of intense surface surveys. The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of the settlement patterns and adaptive strategies among the small-scale farmers who lived in this marginal environment. The Zip...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology of the Virgin Branch Puebloan Region" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of the settlement patterns among the Virgin Branch Puebloans, who were small-scale farmers living in the marginal environment at the Mt. Trumbull area in the Arizona Strip. The Zip Code Site (131BLM) is a large site with multiple pueblo structures at least 200 m long. One of the...

This is an abstract from the "Dedication, Collaboration, and Vision, Part II: Papers in Honor of Tom D. Dillehay" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. It has been several decades since archaeologists first recognized that information about prehistoric social and political structures of precolumbian societies could be recovered by careful and appropriate archeological survey and excavation. Careful observation and recording made latter recognition of...

This is an abstract from the "Ancient Mesoamerican and Andean Cities: Old Debates, New Perspectives" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Traditional models of ancient cities have dominated archaeological discourse for nearly a century. This paper seeks to diversify definitions and assumptions regarding ancient cities, especially during periods of heightened economic and social risk. Using the large Late Intermediate Period (1000-1400 CE) ridge-top site...

This is an abstract from the "WHY PLATFORM MOUNDS? PART 1: MOUND DEVELOPMENT AND CASE STUDIES" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. AZ U:9:165(ASM) comprises the remains of an extensive Hohokam village on the south side of the Salt River in Arizona. Late 19th to 20th century urbanization obscured the overwhelming majority of this site, stunting our understanding of its extent and structure. This paper presents the results of recent archival research and...

Where people choose to settle can be thought of in part as a behavioral response to the ecological constraints placed on a society’s ability to meet its needs through interacting with its environment. While humans are indeed not always completely rational actors, their endeavors require either basic raw materials or environmental conditions that, when absent, either force them to seek out other regions for exploitation or adapt to new conditions. Because of this, archaeologists have long been...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Samantha Sanft.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, I refine fifteenth- and sixteenth-century village relocation sequences for Haudenosaunee sites located on both the eastern and western sides of Cayuga Lake (in what is today central New York State). This area is the traditional homeland of the Cayuga Nation. First, I present information on Cayuga sites, including data on settlement types and...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Eric Fries.

This is an abstract from the "Provisioning Ancient Maya Cities: Modeling Food Production and Land Use in Tropical Urban Environments" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The ancient Maya settlements of the Aguacate region of western Belize feature a dispersed settlement pattern spread across a highly varied landscape. Both soil and water resources are unevenly distributed across the region, interspersed with karst outcrops and ridges. Nonetheless,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper reports the results of an initial season of regional archaeological survey in western Kosova, in the districts of Peja and Istog. RAPID-Kosova is the first intensive, systematic survey ever conducted in Kosova, and aims to document settlement and settlement change through time. During June of 2018, we ran three survey teams in three zones covering...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The primary aim of the Sierra Blanca Archaeological Survey—located in the heart of the Sierra Blanca highlands of southeastern New Mexico—is to collect regional data that will enhance our understanding of settlement aggregation, community organization, intra- and interregional interactions, and ideational landscapes during pre-Hispanic times. Data from the...

At about 3500 BC, a seemingly intrusive population of burial mound (kurgan) builders undertook a long-term series of migrations that resulted in the disruption of settlement patterns and social structures throughout eastern and central Europe. This phenomenon coincided with the emergence of the expansive and geographically homogeneous Baden material culture. From the 1960s to the 1990s, a series of archaeologists investigated the relationship between kurgan builders and Baden in the Carpathian...

The 16-19th centuries in West Africa marked a period of dramatic social and cultural change fueled, in part, by the opening of Atlantic markets and the rise of predatory states. The responses of societies peripheral to these political economic processes often involved strategic shifts in the production of space—including relocation to highland refuge areas, aggregation into larger villages, increases in residential mobility, and fortification of elite houses and/or entire settlements. In this...

Arzberger is a fifteenth- or sixteenth-century fortified Plains Village site located near present-day Pierre, South Dakota. Although it is an important example of an Initial Coalescent settlement in the Middle Missouri subarea of the Plains, its most intensive study occurred in 1939 when the village was accurately mapped and test excavations were made of four lodges and the fortification. This early work identified a surprisingly low number of houses for such a large settlement. In recent...

The colonial efforts by the Spanish and subsequent generations resulted in the formation of cultural networks that were based on the reliance and access to key ecological resources. Ultimately these networks influenced the development of social stratification of the San Diego River watershed and the surrounding region. Incorporating the analysis of archaeological, anthropological, and historical data, and utilizing geographic information systems, a series of maps depicting site densities, a...
