In this paper, the analysis of macroremain samples from household contexts in the Río Amarillo East Pocket will be discussed. The analysis of these samples is part of a larger project to define the use of the environment by ancient inhabitants of the valley. Following upon the efforts of earlier projects such as PAC I and PAC II, we plan to assess macroremains from a diversity of groups and time periods to illuminate ancient consumption patterns. Hopefully, this data will increase our...
Jerry Sent Me to Mesoamerica and All I Got Was a Shirt... (2016)
I was a returning (older) student, a market segment many universities have trouble relating to, fortunate to arrive at Florida Atlantic University with a number of other returning students. Dr. Kennedy let us run with our ideas, working CRM jobs, starting a lab on campus, and exploring our interests. Then one day, he comes to me and says, “I know this person who might need your skills” and I was off to Belize and Guatemala on the start of what has been both a great adventure and a rewarding...
Long Term, Community Level Protection and Management of Waterfowl in Mývatn N. Iceland (2015)
Archaeological, paleo-environmental and ethnographic research in the lakeside community of Mývatn, N. Iceland, is uncovering the millennium-long history of interactions between people and seasonal populations of waterfowl. Protection of waterfowl from hunting seems to have been applied in tandem with annual, managed egg harvesting as a common resource management strategy. The interdisciplinary investigation underway seeks to understand long term norms and local traditional knowledge (LTK)...
Long-term Seabird Exploitation in the Faroe Islands (2015)
Fowling traditionally played an important role in the subsistence economy of the Faroe Islands. The large-scale, sustainable exploitation of wild seabirds in the Faroes is noted in written sources at least as far back as the 16th century. Though the practice of fowling in these islands no doubt far precedes the earliest written documentation, archaeological evidence for the activity has until recently been limited. However, recent archaeofaunal data are beginning to provide a more complete...
Looking at the Ancient Maya from the Outside (2016)
I owe Vern Scarborough a great debt for the opportunity to look into the dynamics of Maya research in the context of the IHOPE Maya project. As a historian and prehistoric archaeologist, I have been struck by the way in which, in the research, two perspectives were commingled: the prehistorian's perspective looking (back) towards the origins of the heyday of (Classic) Maya culture and the historian's perspective looking (forward) for the emergence of certain elements of it. It seems to me that...
Maintaining Elements That Are Efficient by Design: What's Already Green About Our Historic Buildings (Legacy 09-456)
This document is intended to help Cultural Resources Managers (CRMs), architects, and engineers understand the existing green features of historic buildings and use those features optimally in adaptive reuse projects that are aimed at increasing energy efficiency and reaching sustainability goals.

The MAUP and the Milpa: Analytical Scale and the Problem of Lowland Maya Sustainability (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Provisioning Ancient Maya Cities: Modeling Food Production and Land Use in Tropical Urban Environments" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Researchers assess sustainability using spatial bounds, be they for a single community or the entire planet. But the specific boundaries we use matter greatly, because practices (and populations) that are unsustainable at one scale may be sustainable at another depending on a host of...
A Model for Urbanism from the Neotropics? (2016)
Drawing from our own research on food, water, and waste management, we describe the development and characteristics of settled life in the humid neotropics with a view to isolating features or patterns that reflect sustainable trajectories. Because mainstream concepts of “the city” tend to be structured by urban experiences that lie outside the tropics and are recentist in outlook, we suggest that there are urban (and peri-urban) phenomena in the deep past of the neotropics that tend to be...
Multivocal Approaches to Sustainability in the Rejuvenation of the Archaeological Tell Site, Vésztő-Mágor (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Too often the conservation, visualization, and management of archaeological sites are afterthoughts of excavations. Heritage preservation and presentation are only considered after the trowels leave, with site managers working within the confines of what they’ve been given and the public viewing what is left . Excavation decisions – whether knowingly or...

Procurement Guidelines for the Reuse of Historic Building Materials (Legacy 06-316)
This pamphlet provides a basic understanding for qualified program managers, technical and procurements staffs in DoD with set guidelines for whole-building recycling, and reuse of historic materials. The pamphlet is meant to be used as a supplement to the Procurement Guidelines booklet. The new guidelines will provide information that will assisted in DoD installations Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution process.

Public Engagement, Archaeology Museology, and Sustainable Heritage Management in the Twenty-First Century Museum Experiences: A Case Study from the Harrison Site (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "On the Centennial of his Passing: San Diego County Pioneer Nathan "Nate" Harrison and the Historical Archaeology of Legend" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In an effort to provide the Nathan “Nate” Harrison Historical Archaeology Project with a long-term and sustainable plan for community outreach that will continue after excavation has finished, this paper discusses strategies in the current context of...
PUSH Kiruna? An Arctic example of mobilizing archaeology to address Poverty and Plenty in Energy and Power. (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Poverty And Plenty In The North", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Physicists say that energy is the ability to cause change (or do work), while power is the rate at which energy is transmitted or used. When human’s harness or harvest energy, it must take material form so people can use, transmit, or store it. During industrialization, humans increased scales of energy mobility through extraction, storage, and...
Rhythms of Stability and Change in the Central Mediterranean (2017)
This paper explores changing patterns of isolation in prehistoric island societies, and their ongoing connections with the wider world. The case study is the expansion of agriculture in Southern Europe in the 6th millennium BC, and subsequent landscape and cultural evolution in the Maltese archipelago. This was a series of maritime events, establishing connectivity between Mediterranean islands whose inhabitants’ ‘Neolithic package’ lifeway permitted high-density settlements in small islands. In...
The Role Of Environment In The Collapse Of The Ancient Maya (2015)
Understanding the socioeconomic demise and depopulation of much of the Maya lowlands from the eighth to tenth centuries has been influenced historically by environmental evidence and human-environment frameworks emanating from beyond archaeology. Climate change was involved as early as 1917, but subsequently muted by the excesses of environmental determinism. The role of environment was subsequently reinstated in the latter parts of the 20th century, especially influenced by compelling evidence...
