This is an abstract from the "*SE The State of Theory in Southeastern Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The use of theory and related models that explicitly lay out the causal processes that we hypothesize operated in the past to generate patterns archaeological data is a rarity in historical archaeology. It is especially hard to find examples of research that create or use models that are then tested using archaeological data. The...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many have argued that the hacienda of colonial Mexico represents the emergence of commercial enterprise through privately owned landed estates. However, these estates were not strictly economic units, but comprised a diverse social and political institution engaged in a complex interplay with the broader cultural landscape, transforming local environments...

PROJECT Patrick J. Munson. US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District. US Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District.

This collection is referred to as "Lake Monroe 1976.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is ten (10) linear inches. The associated documentation for Lake Monroe 1976 was stored in thirty acidic folders in one acidic cardboard box with several other document collections. Because the archaeological investigations at Lake Monroe were so extensive, it took longer than the time originally allotted by the Army Corps....

There is a contentious history between Navajo families living in the Wupatki Basin, ranchers, and the National Park Service. The creation of the monument in 1924 gradually displaced indigenous residents from ancestral homelands leading to loss of territory and connection to family. Here I focus on change in Euroamerican demands for land and federal management policies, as well as Navajo kinship, family dynamics, and oral history as told by descendants of the first Navajo settlers in the Wupatki...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pre-1778 land use in Hawai‘i Island’s leeward Kohala uplands has been extensively documented by archaeologists, particularly those studying the ancient mauka (upland) Leeward Kohala Field System. However, “historic” (post-1778) land use – particularly in the uplands – is not as well understood. In this poster, I provide a review of the documentary and oral...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Landscapes tell stories. They contain evidence of past cultural and environmental change and the relationships between the two. Dendroarchaeology—the use of tree-ring data from past human activities—is uniquely positioned to provide the fine-grained temporal resolution necessary for understanding these relationships. This paper examines 150 years of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Like all landscapes, the one at Liberty Hall has been dramatically impacted by the people who lived here. Originally part of the Monacan Indian Nation's homeland for at least a thousand years, the hilltop site's proximity to a significant ford over the north branch of the James River and a pair of strong-flowing springs attracted first colonial farmers and...

This is an abstract from the "Materializing Political Ecology: Landscape, Power, and Inequality" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Social and political ideologies are entangled in the management and control of the ecological landscape. When relations between social institutions shift, it impacts how people interact with their local environment. In this paper, I explore how these relationships are visible within the fabric of a building. During the...

This is an abstract from the "Hill People: New Research on Tijeras Canyon and the East Mountains" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The historic settlement of San Miguel de Carnué is an eighteenth-century Spanish colonial frontier settlement in northern New Mexico, which served as a buffer settlement to protect Albuquerque from raids by surrounding nomadic tribes. The occupants, who were of mixed ancestry, constructed the settlement and had lived...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Personified landscapes—comprising or populated by animate beings (tirakuna, earth beings, huacas, apus)—feature centrally in discussions of the archaeological, historical, and ethnographic records of Andean societies. Because of its unique seventeenth-century Quechua manuscript, this tendency has been particularly influential in Huarochirí, Peru. The...

This is an abstract from the "Afro-Latin American Landscapes" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Francisca Angola, a creole woman of the seventeenth century, was born in one of the *palenques (maroon settlements) of the north coast of Colombia. Her mother, Lucia, and her father, Agustin, both identified as Angolas, ran away from Cartagena at the beginning of the same century. At the probable age of 70, Francisca and some of her descendants were caught...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent excavations at the First Baptist Church on Nassau Street in Williamsburg, Virginia, have illuminated significant information about the site, most notably the presence of over 60 burials. However, the First Baptist site also provides an opportunity to literally excavate the history of our own discipline. Following the concept of an “anthropology of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper explores the complex history of Atlantic slavery and European colonization in Peki, a frontier Ewe community in present-day southeastern Ghana. This community played a pivotal role that led the pan-Ewe confederacy– the Krepi– out of Akwamu and Asante domination in the mid-nineteenth century. To consolidate their power, the Peki made two major...

The model of linguistic creolization had a particular impact on archaeological practice. Drawing inspiration from Sidney Mintz’s and Richard Price’s Birth of African American Culture (1992), archaeologists have been quick to recognize how they could use the concept to interpret material culture and relations of power. Indeed, the histories and processes associated with settler colonization in the Caribbean, including indigenous displacement, forced migration of Africans and the appropriation of...

This is an abstract from the "Pacific Maritime History: Ships and Shipwrecks" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Beginning in 1790, Hawaiian ali’i (royalty) appropriated Western sailing technology to facilitate fundamental transformations of interisland tributary systems, alliance building, exchange systems, and emergent forms of Indigenous capitalism. By 1840 ali’i had either built or purchased over 60 sailing vessels that we know the names of....

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Much of the knowledge on Teotihuacan and its surroundings has been produced almost exclusively through archaeology as the main discipline. These archaeological studies have focused mainly on Teotihuacan during the Classic period. However, it must be considered that the population of the Teotihuacan Valley did not begin and end with the classical city of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Latrines have been excavated in East Asia dating back to the second century BCE. To tackle with the fact that the number of latrines that have been reported does not match with the one of settlement sites, this paper provides possible solutions of detecting a latrine with the configurational approach and the depositional approach. Excavated cesspits, cesspools...
