Pristine Forests of Southern Chile? Evidence for a Millennium of Anthropogenic Woodlands (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ayelen Delgado Orellana.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The relevance of the temperate forests of South America (35°S–55°S) have been acknowledged in ecological and biodiversity terms. Although evidence of human settlements in this vast territory goes back to ∼14,600 cal yr BP, these forests are commonly referred to as pristine or natural environments. In Southern Chile, paleoenvironmental studies indicate that...


Processing Personhood: Mortuary Activity from the Middle to Late Woodland in the Lower Illinois River Valley (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brittany Fletcher. Aliya Hoff. Samuel Mijal. Jason King. Jane E. Buikstra.

While archaeological engagement with the body as a locus of embodied agency has proliferated in recent years, this study is the first to rigorously apply theories of personhood to the lengthy burial rituals documented within interment facilities of Woodland burial mounds from the North American Midcontinent. This study aims to explore conceptions of the body, dividuality, embodiment, and personhood through the analysis of skeletal material from the Middle Woodland Gibson Mounds Site (n=19) and...

Elden Johnson...


Quantifying the Qualitative: Locating North-Central Kansas Burial Mounds (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jakob Hanschu.

Scattered through parts of northeastern and north-central Kansas are prehistoric burial sites in the form of low rock and earthen mounds located atop bluffs overlooking stream valleys. In Kansas, the Unmarked Burial Sites Preservation Act exists to protect these sites, but this law is only effective if the location of these features is known. Most prehistoric mounds in this region are subtle in appearance, making them difficult to recognize. If sites are not recorded and protected, they may be...

Fifty new, high-precision AMS radiocarbon dates have been obtained on maize, faunal remains and ceramic residues from 18 pre-contact Iroquoian village sites in northern New York. These dates add significant new information to the chronology of the Iroquoian occupation of the region. Once thought to span AD...


Reconsidering the Late Woodland: A Critical Reassessment through Decolonizing Approaches (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Devin Henson. Olivia Navarro-Farr.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Late Woodland period in eastern North America has traditionally been conceptualized as a cultural hiatus between the region’s Hopewell and Mississippian traditions. As a drastic (though not complete) reduction in the practices of monumental architecture and art produced with nonlocal materials occurred during this time, the end of the preceding Hopewell...


Red Lake Ojibwe Food Sovereignty: A Historical and Contemporary Analysis (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashleigh Thompson.

This is an abstract from the "Social Justice in Native North American Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Because American Indians suffer from diet-related diseases at higher rates than other ethnic groups, Indigenous organizers are finding ways to improve the health of their communities. One way they are accomplishing this goal is through the promotion of traditional foods their people consumed prior to European colonization, known as...


Red Metal, Domestic God: Prehistoric Copper Use in the Middle Atlantic Region (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Gregory Lattanzi.

This is an abstract from the "From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal: Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers in North America" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Raw metals have been used by prehistoric peoples throughout the world. In the Middle Atlantic region of the United States, the most favored metal was copper. Copper objects of all kinds were seen as holding major religious and ceremonial significance. While there is evidence of...


A Reexamination of the Faunal Assemblage at Bird Hammock (8Wa30) (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Samantha Terry.

The Bird Hammock site (8Wa30) located in Wakulla County, Florida, is a multicomponent site representing Late Swift Creek and Weeden Island occupations. The site consists of two burial mounds as well as two accompanying middens each representing one phase of occupation. Bense completed excavations in 1968 that provided a preliminary description of faunal material at the site but it was not until Nanfro’s (2004) excavations that a more thorough analysis was completed. My research reexamines the...


Referencing the Archaic on a Woodland Landscape on Florida’s Northern Gulf Coast (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Anthony Boucher.

During a period of uniformity in ceremonial practices, coastal dwellers of the Lower Suwannee diverged from the architectural norm. Although these coastal people were under the larger influence of Woodland-period traditions, their construction efforts continued to follow ancestral ideals in the form shell rings and ridges. Here I argue that differences in terraforming practices along Florida’s Northern Gulf Coast were a citation to a revered and observed local history formulated by natural...


Relatedness, Circularity, and Place-Centeredness in Belle Glade Artifacts: Reevaluating South Florida Collections from an Ontological Framework (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nathan Lawres.

This is an abstract from the ""Re-excavating" Legacy Collections" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Museum collections provide a quintessential database for archaeological studies, yet they are often overlooked in favor of new excavations that eventually add to museum collections. While new excavations provide us valuable insight into the communities of the past, reevaluating existing collections can provide us with entirely new interpretations of...

Rethinking Ceramic Attribute Technology during the Late Woodland Period in Southwest Ohio (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christina Hahn.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The focus of this research is the variability of ceramics from Late Woodland (A.D. 400-1000) sites in the Little Miami River Valley in Hamilton County, Ohio. Few Late Woodland features have been recovered and little is known about the ceramic technology in southwest Ohio, but these artifacts still play a major role in understanding prehistoric societies. The...


A Retrospect of Deptford in South Carolina (2018)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Keith Stephenson. Karen Smith.

The label Deptford has long been synonymous with both a Woodland Period pottery type and a coastally oriented subsistence-residential adaptation. The former culture-historical terminology dates to 1939, while the latter concept is attributed to Milanich following his work on the Georgia coast in the early 1970s. Deptford also has been construed as a phase with a time-space-content connotation that incorporates aspects of both pottery and adaptation. Regardless of the specific meaning the term...


The Return of the Large Enigmatic Pit: Investigating Off-Mound Areas at Pumpkin Lake (2023)
