This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Florida stands to lose more recorded sites to sea-level rise than any other state in the region, with nearly 4,000 estimated to be lost to a one-meter rise. For many of these heritage sites, untold stories of Florida history that are currently missing from the public record will also fade into obscurity as destruction occurs due to sea-level rise. Many of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. “Can we have our garage back?” The person asking this was storing 50 boxes of collections from data recovery at the 1786 Forrest Marbury House in her garage. Compliance investigations in 1986 were not reported because of a legal loophole, and curation was not funded. DC lacked a curation facility so many of our collections were parked with whoever could...

Nineteenth-century tenant families on the Bingham Estate and throughout rural Ireland resided in cottage clusters known as clachans, nucleated groups of farmhouses, where land-holding was communal and often had considerable ties of kinship. These settlements were intimately associated with rundale farming, a system of cooperative or collective agriculture. This system was a sophisticated response to specific ecological conditions. Lands within infields, outfields, and commonage were allocated so...

A growing body of bioarchaeological research into the biocultural effects of Spanish colonialism on native Andean communities shows that traditional and popular narratives emphasizing the roles of epidemic disease and Spanish military superiority in the conquest of the Inca Empire are oversimplified. In this poster, I synthesize recent bioarchaeological research from different sites in Peru that has interrogated the intricacies and etiologies of native mortality and depopulation, differential...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Colonowares are often recovered at colonial period sites in the Americas where peoples of African descent resided, and are low-fired, made from locally sourced clays and flux materials, and can be plain or decorated. Many archaeologists suggest that the practice of making this pottery is an African-based craft, however Indigenous influences (particularly...

This is an abstract from the "Afro-Latin American Landscapes" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This work addresses the dynamic of social relations at the sugar plantation Fazenda do Colégio, in northern Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, through the analysis of the refined and coarse earthenwares recovered from the planters' house midden and from two slave quarters areas. I argue that these ceramic items exerted a central role in the construction and...

In this paper I present findings from recent excavations of a high-status indigenous residence at the site of San Miguel Achiutla, Oaxaca, Mexico. The data show that, contrary to typical expectations, frequencies of elaborate indigenous Mixtec polychrome serving wares rise considerably from the Postclassic to the Early Colonial period, rather than these ceramics being replaced by European style ceramics. Nevertheless, residents of Achiutla did indeed have access to European glazed wares, and...
