The medieval Italian settlement pattern was transformed from the 8th - 12th centuries as people moved to inhabit defensible hilltops. The precise timing and reasons for this historical process, known as incastellamento, are not well understood. We initiated the San Giuliano Archaeological Research Project to provide high-resolution archaeological data for understanding this phenomenon. Two seasons of survey and excavation atop the San Giuliano plateau have identified walls and structures...

This is an abstract from the "The Columbian Exchange Revisited: Archaeological and Anthropological Perspectives on Eurasian Domesticates in the Americas" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There is no one way that European domesticates were understood by Indigenous groups throughout North America. In the American Southeast, Spanish explorers and colonists introduced peaches, watermelons, and pigs during the sixteenth century, yet only peaches and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In March 2022, the site of an early twentieth-century blacksmith shop on my family’s 90-acre sheep ranch in Montour Valley of southwestern Idaho was excavated due to dilapidation and subsequent collapse of the structure. In the early twentieth century, the valley was the site of intensive agriculture and ranching, and the establishment of the railroad in...

In the nineteenth century, the northern city of Sheffield in England developed significantly as the city’s traditional manufacturing output – metal and metalworking – was industrialised on a mass scale. To support this rapidly growing industrial city, services like railways and gasworks were constructed around the city perimeter, along with housing, shops, and other services and institutions. Neighbourhoods like the industrial colony of Parkwood Springs were home to long term residents, and a...

This is an abstract from the "The Columbian Exchange Revisited: Archaeological and Anthropological Perspectives on Eurasian Domesticates in the Americas" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The introduction of European domestic fauna during the Spanish conquest represents a major change in the cultural use of animals, influencing both how they acquired and processed. Although this point has been recognized, in fact it has been poorly documented. This...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Stone walls serve as indicators of both contemporary and historic property boundaries as well as significant features such as farms, roadways, and internal property routes. The northeastern United States, particularly New England, boasts an estimated 193,121 km (120,000 mi) of stone walls. In Cultural Resource Management (CRM), it is not uncommon for...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this study, I examine how the Elephanta Caves (500 C.E. - 900 C.E.), off the coast of Mumbai, in the Indian state of Maharashtra, can best be preserved in the future. These man-made caves were a place of Shiva and goddess-worship for local Hindus, up until Portuguese contact and occupation in AD 1534-35. Interest in this topic stems from the caves’ exposure...

This is an abstract from the "Isotopic and Animal aDNA Analyses in the Southwest/Northwest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Political ecology examines the relationship between politics and the environment and how that relationship affects ecosystems. While bioarchaeologists have shown the extensive biochemical connections in human remains resulting from political and economic inequalities, less attention has been given to the ways in which animals...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology of Medieval Eurasian Steppe Urbanism" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In Mongolia, the relation between sedentary urban and mobile herder lifeways has constituted a key socioeconomic and political factor for more than a millennium. This history is most prominently present in the Orkhon valley, preserving traces of various urban centers including the Medieval capital of Karakorum. Much less is known about...

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 explore the way gender is conjured at an early twentieth century North Carolina Asylum through its organization of space and patients’ movement in this space. I consider the way that gender is maintained, reified, and produced through archival research on the Raleigh State Asylum of North Carolina. The built landscape of the Raleigh State...
