The Laurentians is a region of rolling hills, mountains and lakes occupying a strategic position in the vast hydrographic basin that drains the northern shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Archaeological fieldwork undertaken since 2015 demonstrates the integration of this landscape within interaction networks encompassing several other regions of the greater Northeast at various time periods. Ceramic remains, notably, reveal close links between Alquonquins of the Laurentians and both Hurons to...

For many hunter-gatherers, watercraft are crucial technologies for the transportation of humans and things, and may have had great social import. In this paper, we discuss ways in which hunter-gatherer watercraft may have been a key way by which people constituted, and in turn were constituted by, their interactions with interior waterways in present-day New Brunswick. We suggest that watercraft in this region may be one way to approach the complex question of pre-European identity on the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We use stable carbon and nitrogen analyses of over 500 archaeological animal bones to explore the relationship between ancient farming practices and local wild fauna in the context of Iroquoian horticulture in Southern Ontario (AD 1000-1600). By creating openings in the forest and introducing non-local plants, Iroquoian farming served to increase habitat...

Phase II Site Evaluations for five previously identified sites 28BU524, 28BU534, 28BU535, 28BU674, and 28BU679. Site 28BU674 is considered ineligible for listing on the NRHP. Evaluation of the Stackhouse Hotel/H-9 site (28BU524) identified two distinct domestic deposits relating to the Stackhouse (Locus 1) and Keeler (Locus 2) properties. Locus 1, chiefly pre-dates the hotel’s (pre-1840) operations and are indicative of a domestic site centered within an early crossroad community. Deposits...

Recent research in northern lower Michigan systematically tested the ability to identify subterranean food storage features using surface criteria. Subterranean storage features were used during the late Late Woodland period (AD 1200-1600) in parts of the Michigan Inland Waterway. Such cache features prolong the availability of food stuffs and mitigate against the risk of food shortage. This paper discusses the research methodology required for identifying such features. While many are...

Crystal River (8CI1) and Roberts Island (8CI41) are neighboring mound and village complexes on the central Gulf Coast of Florida, occupied mainly sequentially across the first millennium AD. Stratigraphic excavations, coupled with extensive radiocarbon dating, permit relatively fine-grained observations regarding the prevalence of fauna over time. Oyster dominates faunal remains from all periods, but higher relative frequencies of small gastropods are evident in Midden Phases 2 and 4. Sponge...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Coprolites are recognized as an important source of archaeological data; they contain biological remains from the organism’s diet, as well as genetic material from microorganisms, dietary components, and the host. Modern studies have shown that the gut microbiome reflects dietary trends; as microbial remains are also present in coprolites, these provide...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Across the southeastern United States, the Woodland Period is marked as a time by processes of increased cultural distinction known as regionalism. In Eastern Oklahoma, the Fourche Maline archaeological culture (ca. 2300 – 1100 cal. BP) demonstrates a strategy of limited mobility and high intensities of regionalism prior to the Woodland Period. These...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2021, an interdisciplinary team of archaeologists, marine biologists, and geologists was formed to answer the question: is it possible to infer which part of the estuary an oyster was harvested from based on morphology and bioindicators observed on archaeological shell? In the Lower Chesapeake Bay, there are three “zones” conducive to oyster growth—the...

This is an abstract from the "Case Studies in Toolstone Provenance: Reliable Ascription from the Ground Up" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In eastern Pennsylvania, archaeologists have long used patterns of toolstone conveyance to define vast territories or trade networks that stretch across much of the Middle Atlantic. For example, the Late Archaic-Early Woodland lithic assemblage from the "KU Site" in east-central Pennsylvania purportedly...

While the technological and methodological challenges facing archaeologists seeking to address the coastal erosion issue are noteworthy, the responsibility to formulate ethical, engaged, and collaborative research methodologies is equally pressing. The impact of coastal erosion and sea level rise on archaeological sites creates significant challenges for Indigenous peoples engaged in reclaiming their own histories and rights. Archaeologists studying threatened sites must therefore also be deeply...

This is an abstract from the "Recent Research on Glass Beads and Ornaments in North America" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Glass trade beads are one of the earliest forms of European material culture to be integrated into Wendat daily lives in the early colonization period in the eastern Great Lakes region. From the late sixteenth century, Wendat and other Indigenous people traded, modified, and circulated these small durable possessions among...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Intact Native American pottery is rarely recovered from archaeological sites throughout New England. When it is observed, sherds tend to be small and lack integrity. During excavations along a power line corridor for a Cultural Resource Management survey, over 25 sherds of intact Native American pottery were recovered. New England, specifically Rhode...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Lake Ontario once supported large populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). However, by the mid-19th century populations of these salmonid species had collapsed as a result of overharvesting and habitat alteration by European settlers. Prior to this collapse, it has been hypothesized Indigenous peoples were able to...

Iroquoians played the hoop and pole game in Historic times, but there are no descriptions of Iroquoians playing chunkey, a variant of hoop and pole that makes use of a rolled stone disk. This has led to a widespread belief that chunkey was not played by Iroquoians. However, a symmetrical stone disk was recovered from the Eaton site, a mid-sixteenth century Erie village. Other researchers report stone disks from the following groups: Neutral (Bill Fox), Erie (Joshua Kwoka), Seneca (Martha...

A better understanding of the role of domestic dwellings in shaping past social relations is needed. In this paper, Northern Iroquoian longhouses are studied as sociotechnical systems. This approach allows us to appreciate how social relations were generated and contested in the very activities of building and living in houses. I examine a sample of pre-Columbian longhouses from southern Ontario, Canada. Variation in aspects of house construction, spatial layout, and ritual indicates that...
