This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This project is a collaborative effort driven by a multi-tribal Chumash community to reawaken cultural knowledge while simultaneously generating new archaeological data about the well-preserved Chumash village of l’akayamu. Located on limuw (Santa Cruz Island, the largest of California’s Channel Islands), l’akayamu is a historical village that was...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. After the dissolution of the Reconstruction Era, black Americans were faced with the legislative and social constraints of the Jim Crow Era. These limitations on life spurred a call to action to create black settlements free of white supremacy and anti-black sentiments, such as the settlement of Allensworth. The town of Allensworth, located in Tulare County of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We examine the relationship between farm production and strategy and the health and mortality patterns of farm families during the late nineteenth century in upstate New York. This was a time when farmers were transitioning from subsistence to commercial farming and when dairy farming was becoming the preferred strategy to increase profits. Here, we focus...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Health, Wellness, and Ability" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During World War II, approximately 120,000 individuals of Japanese heritage were incarcerated by the United States government. One-third of those unjustly incarcerated were legal American citizens. This talk examines the types of medicine and healthcare made available to imprisoned Japanese Americans based on their citizenship status....

This is an abstract from the "Hearth and Home in the Indigenous Northeast" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We report on recent excavations at an unusual Beothuk housepit feature located on Red Indian Lake, in the interior of the island of Newfoundland, Canada. The housepit is remarkable for its large size and hexagonal shape, for having escaped destruction from logging, flooding, and earlier avocational investigations, and for the fact that it does...

Solomon Butcher was a citizen photographer smitten with what he referred to as the "history project," to photodocument the citizens of Custer County, Nebraska as the frontier receded further west. From 1886-1892, he imaged perhaps one third of the occupants, staging them in front of occupied or recently abandoned sod houses and making them party to his commemoration of a constructed pioneer heritage. When severe droughts hit in the mid-1890s, did this shared pioneer "can-do" heritage sustain...

This is an abstract from the "Activating Heritage: Encouraging Substantive Practices for a Just Future" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Rather than argue that heritage does things, this paper explores what might happen when archaeologists (to borrow a phrase from J L Austin) “do things with heritage.” Specifically, I use the points raised by Patricia Hill Collins in her weaving together of pragmatics and intersectionality to frame a discussion of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Following the end of the Civil War, plantation landscapes in the South Carolina Lowcountry underwent dramatic changes that broke up massive, generational landholdings and upended centuries of exploitative economic systems. Moonshining provided a means for some former plantation owners to maintain possession of core properties, while providing a narrative...

This is an abstract from the "Democratizing Heritage Creation: How-To and When" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The process of heritage preservation and the production of knowledge in indigenous communities regularly seem at odds in terms of their overarching goals and outcomes. Relationships to the study and use of heritage are often fraught, and can become political quickly. This paper outlines the practical and methodological aspects of...

This is an abstract from the "Politics of Heritage Values: How Archaeologists Deal with Place, Social Memories, Identities, and Socioeconomics" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Noquisiyi or Nikwasi Mound, a monumental earthen platform mound located in the town of Franklin, North Carolina, was first constructed during the Mississippian period (AD 1000–1600) and marks the location of an important Cherokee mother town. In this paper I consider the...

Archaeologists in the Americas rarely study their own history; rather, the bulk of archaeology in this region is done on Indigenous histories. Non-indigenous archaeologists studying Indigenous history can contribute to the erasure of Indigenous peoples from the accounting of their own past by centering the scientific study of material culture as the best or only way of knowing the truth. So what happens when an Indigenous archaeologist encounters her own ancestors in the archaeological record?...

This is an abstract from the "Activating Heritage: Encouraging Substantive Practices for a Just Future" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with the Hassanamisco Nipmuc of Massachusetts with the express goal of seeing how archaeology can aid the Nipmuc with their own heritage initiatives. In all these efforts, the centrality of pragmatic philosophy has been paramount. Given that North American pragmatic philosophy...

This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The concept of social heterarchy was first incorporated as an alternative approach to examining the sociopolitical organization of early settlements in the Southeast Asia region, particularly pre-state societies. However, applications of heterarchy are somewhat limited to archaeological research on social development,...

Historic maps provide tangible visual evidence of how cities evolve over time. Buildings are erected and demolished, roads are constructed, and streams are diverted or filled. To an untrained eye, the built environment of a typical city block may look like an unlikely place to find archaeological remains but to an archaeologist it is a time capsule waiting to be opened. To this end, urban archaeology often requires peeking beneath parking lots, which often provide temporary protection to buried...

The global exchange of ideas and practices in Latin American architecture during the viceregal period (ca. 1520-1825) remains one of the issues at the forefront of scholarly interest. Remarkable insights are gained about how ancient building materials were sustained and translated as architects and novices alike sought to align European design canons with local techniques and materials. Equally informative is how imported materials were incorporated into building practices. In this paper, I...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The gravestones of Missouri’s historic Columbia Cemetery demonstrate the evolving social identity of the population of Columbia, MO. These stone artifacts display information that reflects the mortuary values of the residents of this city, spanning more than a century. This study resulted in a database of local historic mortuary monuments documenting their...

This is an abstract from the "A Tribute to the Contributions of Lawrence C. Todd to World Prehistory" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During the late Holocene, large bison herds occurred in grass-dominated ecological zones across much of the North American mid-continent. However, in situ fossils and historic accounts illustrate the adaptability of bison to a broad ecological niche space, from grassy prairies and plains to eastern forests. Yet,...

The most renowned stage portrayer of Sherlock Holmes, it was William Gillette who brought Conan Doyle’s detective to life for audiences as well as for every actor that followed in his footsteps. Most importantly, he originated the Holmes "look": the deerstalker hat, the curved pipe, and the Inverness cape. In his day, Gillette was the wealthiest actor in the country. He spared no expense in building his eccentric stone "Castle," perched high above the Connecticut River, and in the creation his...
