This is an abstract from the "The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the 1900s a group of adventurous entrepreneurs resumed mining activities that had been abandoned a decade prior in the Big Bend region. The idea this time was to utilize new mining technologies. Overcoming long distances, rugged terrain, and international and cultural borders, an expensive and new mineral transport system known as an aerial...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Illegal construction excavation in Queens (NYC) unearthed a mid-19th C. iron coffin and exposed the burial interred within. Known as the Woman in the Iron Coffin, the well-preserved burial was a young adult female of African ancestry who died of small pox. Here we provide stable isotopic (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O, 87Sr/86Sr, 206Pb/207Pb) and elemental (Pb, As)...

This is an abstract from the "MARS General Military CRM Poster Session" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Situated on 7,484 ha (18,494 acres) at the foothills of the Rampart Range in Colorado, the main campus of the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) has experienced human activity across the precolonial, historic, and military eras, as well as natural disturbance from water courses and soil slumping along steep slopes. Both natural and cultural...

This is an abstract from the "Unsettling Infrastructure: Theorizing Infrastructure and Bio-Political Ecologies in a More-Than-Human World" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Construction of the colonial landscape and its legacies that guide the agendas of neoliberal governments have permitted a series of effects that define that north-central Andes under a historical geography created by the hacienda system and its confluence of human exploitation,...

The study of an event may seem in opposition to the investigation of deep time, yet it is difficult to analyze one temporal scale without invoking the other. This paper examines this paradoxical linkage of events and the longue durée through the case study of a catastrophic event in the Spanish colonial mercury mines of Huancavelica in the Central Andean Highlands. The Marroquín collapse of 1786 claimed hundreds of indigenous lives, and symbolized the late 18th century decline of Spanish...

Fort Halifax was constructed in Dauphin County, PA, by the British during the French and Indian War as part of a line of fortifications along the Susquehanna River. It was only garrisoned for about a year, from 1756-57, before being abandoned and dismantled by the end of the war. Due to its brief existence, the precise location of the fort has been lost, although the name of the modern town of Halifax perpetuates its connection to the area. Additionally, past historical research regarding...

This is an abstract from the "New and Emerging Geophysical and Geospatial Research in the National Parks" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A multi-instrument survey of the Fort Union National Monument was conducted during the 2014 field season. The survey covered approximately 13.4 ha (33 acres) and was funded through a CESU grant with the National Park Service. The multi-instrument survey detailed evidence of intact, subsurface structural elements...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fort Ligonier, constructed in 1758, was the advance post and the last in the line of supply forts constructed for Brigadier-General John Forbes’ Expedition to take Fort Duquesne during the French and Indian War. A young George Washington was a Colonel stationed at Fort Ligonier. On November 12, 1758, there was a small skirmish between a British Virginia...

This project uses geospatial landscape theory to explore how enslaved people living in settlements on the Sapelo Plantation signaled their African and Caribbean roots through overt and covert materials and landscape patterns in Bush Camp Field and Behavior settlements. Enslaved people at the Sapelo Plantation were likely granted higher levels of relative independence, resulting in a different relationship with the landscape than enslaved people at contemporaneous lowcountry plantations. I...

Archaeologists with the LAMAR Institute and the National Park Service collaborated in an ambitious undertaking to characterize the elemental composition of round ball ammunition from early historic sites. Researchers used portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology to sample the elemental content of over 500 round balls from more than 17 different archaeological sites in eastern North America. These include samples from Native American and Euro-American settlements as well as French and Indian...

In 1924 the Gila Wilderness was established. Ideas of what wilderness is have changed since then, particularly with the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. On the Gila National Forest these changes are reflected in changing wilderness boundaries and management strategies. Wilderness boundaries were re-drawn to exclude man-made features, some constructed by the CCC after designation. Historic and prehistoric sites associated with the wilderness, both within and immediately outside of it (and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Understanding access and distribution of resources is a key component of archaeological research. Tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be instrumental for modeling and understanding resource use in the ancient world. The incredibly well-preserved remains of ancient Pompeii offer an excellent case study for modeling urban infrastructure...

Patent medicine bottles offer a window into the popular culture of 19th Century America and highlight the ways in which otherwise isolated populations were connected into broader social and economic networks. Settlers on the Wisconsin frontier in the mid-to-late 19th century had limited access to formal health care. Physicians who did provide services to remote populations were often poorly trained and had a limited understanding of the causes of many diseases. Thus, self-medication and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. After arriving in Mexico in the 16th century, glass, and the technology to make it, slowly found their way into the everyday life of colonial populations in Mexico City, Puebla, and other areas of New Spain. While glass routinely appears in archaeological excavations of colonial and 19th-century contexts in Mexico, it is not as deeply studied as other...

In the late 18th century, the British colony of Jamaica entered the first of its several boom periods in coffee production. A highly addictive product that was at the time primarily a luxury good for a small domestic market, overproduction on the island resulted in attempts by the coffee industry to expand their markets in Great Britain and the European continent to the middle and working classes. Meanwhile, the rush to get coffee to the market resulted in a rapid expansion in the number and...
