GIS has become a widely utilized tool for analyzing archaeological sensitivity. The state of Rhode Island has more documented shipwrecks per square mile than any other, making it an ideal place to develop an archaeological sensitivity model for submerged sites. In 2008, the Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association started compiling a shipwreck database. The Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission has incorporated the database findings, documented submerged archaeological...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In northwestern New Mexico, there are thousands of archaeological sites that span the complete cultural and temporal spectrum of human occupation in the region. Many of these cultural resources are located in remote areas and as backcountry sites, are often prey to looting and vandalism, particularly those exhibiting standing architecture and rock art. In many...

This is an abstract from the "Northern Rio Grande History: Routes and Roots" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Survey in the Rio Grande Gorge of New Mexico over the past decade has revealed a robust corpus of rock art that depicts horses in the Plains Biographic tradition. Comparison of the Rio Grande Gorge horses to horses in Plains Biographic rock art of other regions and cultures may address questions of cultural affiliation, movement of people,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The U.S.-Mexico borderlands have been shaped by cultural exchange, binational power dynamics, and its unique ecosystems. This paper explores the political ecology of landscape transformations in northwestern Baja California in the nineteenth century at the site of Rancho Johnson, located near Punta Colonet and today a working ranch. In the nineteenth and early...

From 1878 through 1974 Milwaukee County utilized four locations on the Milwaukee County Grounds for burial of more than 7,000 individuals, primarily paupers, the institutionalized, and the unidentified. Two archaeological excavations in 1991 and 1992 and again in 2013 resulted in the recovery of over 2,400 individuals from one of those cemetery locations. A comprehensive understanding of the spatial organization and use life of this site has been complicated by the cemetery’s history of...

"Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you" is a phrase attributed to Jean-Paul Sartre. While the French philosopher was concerned with political freedom rather than freedom in the context of slavery, Sartre’s words offer lessons for analyzing a vast spectrum of how individuals experienced the conditions of slavery and freedom. This paper explores an ambitious project of freedom and future-making initiated by a group of Barbadians one generation after emancipation in the English...

In 1803, Denmark and Norway abolished the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which took effect on 1st January 1803. However, this did not end slavery itself in Africa. Intensification of cash-crop agriculture on the West African coast by the Danish colonists provoked an upsurge in the local slave trade. As the Danish plantation economy solidified, increasing numbers of enslaved people were engaged to labour in these plantations in Ghana. The research examines the documentary and the archaeological data...

This is an abstract from the "Recognizing and Recording Post-1492 Indigenous Sites in North American Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Sites in Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) territory that yield small numbers of artifacts diagnostic of Postcolumbian indigenous occupations typically are treated as ephemeral occurrences: travel stop-overs, resource-procurement stations, and the like. Concentration on obvious diagnostic artifacts such as glass...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Sugar production was integral to European colonization during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but the archaeology of sugar has almost exclusively focused on industrial-level, surplus, and profit centered production at large plantations. This has resulted in a lack of data related to small-scale productive activities centered on localized sales and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the late 1880s in El Paso, Texas, the establishment of a copper and lead smelter on the Rio Grande later brought about the rise of a community called Smeltertown. This community of workers, families and Mexican nationals from across the border established a thriving community. Located at the intersection of both land and water borders of the U.S. – Mexico...

This is an abstract from the "Accelerating Environmental Change Threats to Cultural Heritage: Serious Challenges, Promising Responses" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Underwater archaeological sites are often omitted from sea level rise and resiliency discussions, but these resources, which attract tourists and provide critical information about the past, are at risk. Lack of personnel, difficulty with routinely accessing sites coupled with the...

Some archaeologists and other preservationists perceive a growing hostility in conversations about cultural heritage issues. At times it feels as though people are questioning the very foundations of archaeological work. Other times, it seems as though people just think you need to apply the technique they recently saw used on TV or the web (a la the "CSI Effect"). The implications can leave the archaeologists feeling as though the public don’t believe we know what we are doing or that they are...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper examines the role of workshop organization in the emergence of shared stylistic conventions of Colonial-era Massachusetts gravestones. Deetz and Dethlefsen argued that changes in the stylistic motifs carved on New England gravestones show reflect changing attitudes towards death (1967), and that certain motifs diffuse through space and time...

This is an abstract from the "People and Space: Defining Communities and Neighborhoods with Social Network Analysis" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Socially defined neighborhoods develop through frequent face-to-face interactions among residents and their self-identification as neighbors. Archaeological evidence of neighborhoods is usually dependent on artifact frequencies, boundaries, or shared features. This paper explores how effectively...

This is an abstract from the "First Floridians to La Florida: Recent FSU Investigations" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. How do the number and type of glass beads found in the structure recovered from FSU’s 2018 field school at San Luis de Talimali (8Le4) differ from other Spanish living structures on the site? And what do these beads (especially the special decorated types, such as Cornaline d’Aleppo or striped beads) tell us about the social...

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. Mining communities are often at the peripheries of colonial expansion. Yet, the material and social forms developed from such communities can profoundly affect colonial social and economic structures from local to global scales. The archaeological analyses of the metallurgical terraces at the Pueblo of Paa-ko allow for a...

Caribbean Sugar production during the 18th and 19th centuries expanded rapidly, fueled by increasing proletariat consumption across the globe. In response, sugar planters in 18th century Antigua, West Indies, deforested over 90 percent of the landscape, carving the island into proto-industrialized plantations defined by sugarcane monoculture and labored by enslaved Africans. New World plantation organization was once ascribed as a balance between profit and surveillance: simultaneously...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The so-called "fur trade era" of northern North America was founded on a willful exchange between Indigenous peoples and European or métis-descended merchants. Waterways provided the main means of travel, permitting traders to spread their posts and influence across the landscape of the interior. Yet in its early years the London-based Hudson’s Bay Company...
