This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Early archaeological sites of Wiang Nong Lom and Chiang Saen in Northern Thailand appear to have a variety of their spatial pattern than the sites in the later periods (late 14th century). Although temples were constructed follow the state-sponsored Buddhist ideology, some building patterns in many early archaeological sites vary from location to location,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Studies of the shifts following the Arab defeat of the seventh-century Roman Empire generally pass over the Aegean islands that bear the marks of warfare and societal upheaval in their landscapes. The island of Kalymnos has untapped potential to inform an understanding of Roman-Arab warfare in the periphery. This report discusses the several phases of the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite advances made in open access publishing, significant archaeological information remains confined to the grey literature or to unpublished, internal reports in the possession of institutions. For at least twenty years, archaeologists have realized that digital archiving could make this material more accessible at a larger scale, but the tools to...

This is an abstract from the "Thinking with, through, and against Archaeology’s Politics of Knowledge" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Bioarchaeology’s epistemological history is closely tied to that of paleopathology and medicine. Accounts of disease, injury, and death in the archaeological record are steeped in the medicalization of the body and of corporeal difference as defective and, therefore, requiring correction by practitioners and/or...

This is an abstract from the "Past Human-Shark Interactions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Knowledge of sawfishes is still scant for Latin America. Pristis pristis (largetooth sawfish) and Pristis pectinata (smallthooth sawfish) are critically endangered. In the Yucatán Peninsula (YP) these species populated coastal landscapes. We collected 290 surveys of fishers’ Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) with a geospatial component and reviewed 74...

This is an abstract from the "There and Back Again: Celebrating the Career and Ongoing Contributions of Patricia B. Richards" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Dr. Patricia Richards had an indelible impact on these married authors’ time as UWM doctoral candidates. Her support as the former’s dissertation advisor was unfailing, and she provided a useful anthropological perspective for the latter’s English creative writing committee. In this paper, her...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Whiskey Flats is a mid-eighteenth-century probable Comanche site on the Southern High Plains in Midland County, Texas. Ongoing excavation in Mustang Draw of the now dry Mustang Pond uncovered evidence of occupation along a terrace and a bone bed within the pond basin. A modern bison periotic from the bone bed dates to the mid-1700s. Artifacts from both areas...

This is an abstract from the "Partners at Work: Promoting Archaeology and Collaboration in the Chiricahua Mountains" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Interpretive park rangers share the stories of Chiricahua National Monument, but sometimes some stories can slip through the cracks. That happened at Faraway Ranch, where one of the chimneys is composed of stones hand carved by Buffalo Soldiers stationed in Bonita Canyon during the "Indian Wars" in the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the 19th century, a fort and independent settlement of enslavement escapees and their descendants emerged along the Apalachicola River. Prospect Bluff, which eventually became to be known as “Negro Fort”, was a place where Maroons resisted the institutions of slavery. Prospect Bluff hosted a vibrant community of Maroons. At its peak it was home to...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The New Mexico State Land Office (NMSLO) manages over 9 million acres of land that was stolen from the Indigenous and Hispano peoples as a condition of U.S. statehood. This land was allocated to New Mexico under the Ferguson Act of 1898 and the Enabling Act of 1910 in order to generate funding for schools and hospitals. While acknowledging this history,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the eighth–eleventh centuries CE, Chinese ceramics were imported to Japan and showed limited distribution in specific sites. Historical documents, along with their geographic distribution and both fine and coarse ceramic assemblages, suggest these sites shared political connections. Past studies on trade ceramics in China have typically directly applied...

The northern Irish town of Carrickfergus, in the seventeenth century, was a thriving settlement; home to a mixed population of English and Scottish settlers, in addition to a local Gaelic-Irish population. As such, the excavated material evidence is particularly suited to considerations of how we interpret, and eventually ascribe, identity in the archaeological record. Cultural identity, and expressions of such identity – be that Irishness, Britishness, or Ulster Scottishness – lie at the heart...

This is an abstract from the "Forensic Archaeology: Research & Practice" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although often viewed as disparate fields of practice, bioarchaeology and forensic archaeology share a number of commonalities in their approaches to human remains recovery techniques. To address the theoretical and methodological intersection and divergence of these two fields, a case study involving the recovery of remains from a historic...

This is an abstract from the "A Multidimensional Mission: Crossing Conflicts, Synthesizing Sites, and Adapting Approaches to Find Missing Personnel" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Between 2014 and 2017, archaeologists with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) excavated an active rice paddy in northwest Vietnam in search of two missing U.S. service members from the Vietnam War. The incident aircraft, an F-4C, was shot down on March 15,...

Archaeologists have long struggled with assigning specific artifacts to particular ethnic identity categories. This paper uses the artifacts of the nineteenth-century rural Irish poor to argue that identity is best considered intersectionally, in which questions of ethnic or national identity are combined with class, gender, religion, and other identity categories. This intersectionality becomes increasingly important for archaeologists to consider with the rise of globalization, in which...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The mid to late 19th century in the United States is noted by the Department of the Interior as a significant period of westward colonial expansion, leading to an extension of colonial power structures. This biocultural Master's thesis research on Wyoming Territory burials establishes methodological and theoretical approaches for associating stable isotope...

This is an abstract from the "Multispecies Frameworks in Archaeological Interpretation: Human-Nonhuman Interactions in the Past, Part II" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pigs and humans have formed a mutualistic and symbiotic relationship since antiquity. In North America, large quantities of pig bones have been recovered from Chinese diaspora sites, indicating the importance of pigs to Chinese immigrant foodways. By analyzing pig dental calculus...

Investigating a Shotgun House, a Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter case study, asks students to use multiple data sources (oral history, historical documents, architecture, and archaeology) to examine a single question: what can we learn about the lives of mid-20th century urban working-class people from the study of their homes? In this case, shotgun houses. Formal field testing in elementary school classrooms, and interviews with piloting teachers and their students documented that...
