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...

To borrow Yuri Slezkine’s formulation, "the Soviet Union was an empire—in the sense of being very big, bad, asymmetrical, hierarchical, heterogeneous, and doomed". In this it differed little from the early empires that have long held archaeology’s attention. But unlike its precursors, the U.S.S.R. was guided by a political ideology premised vigorously on the relationship between humans and things—between labor, the non-human inputs of production, and property. Imperial sovereignty rested on...

Domestic space both reflects the social order and contributes to its construction. In early colonial New Mexico, houses and other architecture created arenas in which social interactions among Spanish colonizers and indigenous peoples played out and ethnogenesis took place. Moreover Spanish economic production was household based, occurring primarily at rural ranches and mission compounds; consequently, the built environment at households also framed economic activity. Here, we explore the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Using Giddens’s agency theory, this research explores self-care and institutional care practices in the US Army. This project examines medical and personal care items discarded by US soldiers from Bldg. 104 of the San Francisco Presidio from 1890 to 1950. Artifacts include items such as bottles (e.g. alcohol, medicine, and soda), razors, toothpaste, floss,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Historic Indigenous sites are often mislabeled in archaeological literature. As some scholars have explained, a common reason for this stems from the conventional practice of labeling cultural affiliation based on traditional artifact classifications. More recently, others have discussed how past preservation ethics within the cultural resource management...

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeologies of Contact, Colony, and Resistance" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The nearly 200 years of Spanish mission activity in La Florida had profound impacts on the lives of both the Native Americans and Spanish. Missions were places of new contact, culture change, cultural continuity, religious instruction, and the locations of exchange and introduction of new foods, materials, and ideas. This presentation...

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeologies of Contact, Colony, and Resistance" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Missions and indigenous villages are commonly investigated contexts of indigenous action in response to early years of Spanish colonialism in the American Southwest. In New Mexico, colonists’ households were also a venue for interaction and exchange of information between Pueblos and Spanish. Some models of colonial interactions have...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, alcohol was traded and consumed by both Europeans and their Native American neighbors. While historic documents relay the cultural and trade uses of alcohol, archaeological investigations have begun to compare the amount of glass found with the historical reports. The amount of olive green and dark blue...

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. The archaeological investigation of historical and recent periods in the Central West Patagonian region has garnered less attention than earlier records. Nonetheless, a diverse array of material evidence, primarily comprising rural architectural features, delineates a collection of sites and attributes...

The location of blacksmith workshops is often noted on historic maps, yet the archaeological attributes of the workshops are often not well understood within the context of the 18th century. Most knowledge of blacksmithing derives from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The various tools and techniques used to produce and repair metal objects are well documented from these later time periods, as is the spatial layout of the blacksmith shops. These depictions of blacksmiths and blacksmithing are...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. People have impacted the Liberty Hall landscape for thousands of years, though with the greatest intensity between 1782 and the American Civil War. During this time the majority of people who lived here were held captive and forced into agricultural, light industrial, and infrastructural labor by elite enslavers closely tied to Washington and Lee...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, authors Cayla Colclasure (she/her) and Zoe Schwandt (they/she) consider the phenomenon of paranormal tourism and related media as one way various publics engage with historic sites of confinement in the American South and attempt to bridge the epistemological divide between these forms of engagement with the past and the discipline of...

Proletarian drug foods north of the Caribbean in the Chesapeake area include spirits. Spirits include bourbon. Spirits include those of the dead, as well as the Holy Ghost. This paper attempts to introduce the concept of altered states of consciousness produced by both kinds of spirits. Can these be called proletariat drug foods? The purpose of this paper is to ask whether spirits of either kind so dull the senses that an acute perception of reality escapes the exploited or merely produces the...

Limited isotopic research has been conducted in the Veneto, Italy during the transitional period after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and arrival of the Germanic Langobards in the sixth century AD. Questions remain of the local implications of diet during this period of instability, when invasions and population decline occurred. Thus, this research compares Roman and Langobard populations from late antiquity to the medieval period using stable isotope analysis on bone collagen, apatite,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A stable isotope investigation of diet and mobility was conducted on individuals excavated from the medieval cemetery of Sutton Road, Milton, Oxfordshire. Fifty individuals were excavated from the cemetery, many of whom exhibited evidence for degenerative diseases and trauma. Skeletal analysis also indicates a significantly older population than is common...
