Stephen Williams had strong interests in the history of archaeology, prehistoric Indian mounds, and historical archaeology. This paper combines aspects of each of these interests. Cemeteries associated with Indian mounds commonly occur in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. Numerous reasons have been put forth over the years as to why early Anglo-American settlers decided to bury their dead on mounds, ranging from flooding issues, to avoidance of valuable farmland, to a preference for burying on...

This is an abstract from the "Current Perspectives on Historical and Contemporary Archaeology of the Southern Cone" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. En el siglo XIX aparecen referencias escritas sobre Pisagua Viejo y la existencia de una aldea con iglesia cristiana en plena costa desértica entre Arica e Iquique, la que se describe como “Antiguo puerto donde se hizo el primer embarque de salitre en 1836”. Sin embargo, hacia 1880, el sitio constituía...

An assemblage of 280 white clay smoking pipe fragments were recovered from a disturbed context during the construction of a marine basin and wharf at Barcelona Harbor, New York, on the southeastern shore of Lake Erie. Apparently packed in a wooden box or crate, this collection represents one of the largest unique and homogeneous collections fabricated during a brief period in a single manufactory from only a few molds. I summarize descriptive and quantitative analyses, probable provenance, and...

Archaeological repositories abound in significant but overlooked collections. This paper presents a case study based in one such collection: the Hendricks-Hodge Expedition to the ancestral Zuni pueblo of Hawikku, NM (1917-1923), which accumulated 25,000 artifacts now in the NMAI, many remaining unstudied. Drawing on current interdisciplinary research into its seventeenth-century Spanish mission, this paper considers challenges of extracting new interpretations from older collections. Research...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Twenty years ago, cultural resource managers produced a multiple-property evaluation of extant Manhattan Project properties at Los Alamos National Laboratory titled “Sentinels of the Atomic Dawn.” “Sentinels” recorded 49 standing buildings and two archaeological sites. Since that initial evaluation, 29 of the 49 buildings have been demolished and the two...

The shift to wet-rice cultivation and construction of rice terraces in Ifugao, Philippines has recently been associated with Spanish colonization. Previously thought to be at least 2,000 years old, investigations in the region have now established that wet-rice cultivation was a response of highland populations to the Spanish conquest at ca. 1650 CE. The shift to an intensive cultivation drastically changed Ifugao social organization that allowed them to successfully resist multiple attempts of...

This is an abstract from the "Water Management in the Andes: Past, Present, and Future" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Distintos factores han llevado a conceptualizar el altiplano como un espacio hostil y deshumanizado, y el pastoreo de camélidos como una forma única de subsistencia en este ambiente “extremo”. Desde esta óptica, se ha promovido que los pastores andinos aprovechan los pastos que crecen aquí naturalmente sin intervenir en su...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The results of recent surveys around the Mediterranean have revealed a wealth of information about rural populations during the Ottoman period that had for a long time been ignored by historical and archaeological research. This has also brought to light the role of people who occupy politically, economically, or socially marginal niches. This paper aims to...

Agricultural crops may be selected not only because they "work" from the perspective of agroecology, but also for their value in maintaining religious affiliation, historical memory, and community identity. Drawing on emerging archaeobotanical evidence from the Ravni Kotari region of southern Croatia, this paper discusses the challenges of understanding continuities of cultivation practices over multiple millennia in relation to changing political-economic contexts within which cultivation has...

The Riverside 2 site, situated along the original shoreline of the island of Manhattan, presents a unique opportunity for landscape reconstruction within an urban archaeological context. Drawing upon geoarchaeological borings, excavation units, and historical sources, we created a 3D GIS model of the site highlighting its role in the development and transformation of the emerging neighborhood of the Upper West Side in the 19th century. The results of these research efforts have recently been put...

In the last 20 years, Roman archaeologists have analyzed the remains of Roman streets, counted graffiti, benches, and doorways in Pompeii and Herculaneum, and mapped the spaces of houses, workshops, and villas, and examined as well as the location of objects. Archaeologists have turned the material remains into facts and assembled an archive of the traces of human activities—traffic, movement, work, rituals, etc. How this scholarship has furthered our understanding of a heterogeneous population...
