This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Most heritage surveys conducted by Federal agencies in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) focus exclusively on archaeological resources. This approach has resulted in the effective documentation and preservation of archaeological sites but has led to gaps in our understanding of a wide variety of cultural resources. For the last...
Hemish Migration, Movement, and Identity (2017)
We examine migration, travel, landscape, and place names as key elements of Hemish (Jemez) identity. Language is a key element of Hemish identity, and place names figure prominently in Hemish historical and cultural discourse. The place names that define the footprint of Hemish ancestral territory are associated with the migration that culminated in the occupation of Walatowa and with pilgrimages and land use that take Hemish people back into areas where their ancestors formerly lived. Jemez...

Transforming Archaeological Institutions: The Path toward Tribal Collaboration (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Collaborative Archaeology: How Native American Knowledge Enhances Our Collective Understanding of the Past" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology Southwest has elevated “Collaboration with Tribes” to the highest priority in our strategic plan. That is easy to do on paper, but we have found that multiple transformations at the organizational and staff levels are needed to implement this goal. It’s a process that...
Vesicular Basalt Provenance Analysis: A Collaborative Research Effort among Southern Arizona Native American Communities and Archaeologists (2015)
Vesicular basalt was a preferred material for groundstone manufacture in central Arizona, and identification of source areas for raw materials will provide important information regarding prehistoric and historic exchange and interaction patterns in the region. As part of archaeological research under the Pima-Maricopa Irrigation Project, the Gila River Indian Community’s Cultural Resource Management Program has recently devoted considerable effort to the creation of a vesicular basalt...
