Hawaiʻi’s state regulations require principal investigators in the 26 active archaeological consulting firms to possess "a graduate degree from an accredited institution in archaeology, or anthropology, with a specialization in archaeology, or an equivalent field." Because there have been few opportunities for appropriate local graduate training, many heritage management specialists are hired from regions outside of Hawaiʻi and begin with little background or connection to descendant...

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Collaborative archaeology is part of a movement that draws on the skills, knowledge, and requests of all stakeholders. Archaeologists are finally recognizing that this represents responsible practice, with benefits for all, and more and more are allocating time, money, and resources toward collaborative projects. Yet, the importance of...

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...

In the mid 20th century crates full of Costa Rican antiquities made their way into the United States through the diplomatic immunity of Enrique Vargas Alfaro. Paul Clifford, then a business man in Miami and later donor and curator at the Duke University Museum of Art, purchased works from Vargas in addition to procuring his own pieces from Peru. Clifford's friend Bill Thibadeau of Atlanta and a few of his neighbors enjoyed "block parties" to open the latest Vargas crate and then to divvy up the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Across institutions nationally, willed-body (or cadaver donation) programs use language that, although often vague, typically provides some level of detail regarding what exactly donors are consenting to. This poster assesses use and recovery of the collected body in anthropological contexts, framed using the language of modern body donation. In reviewing...

This is an abstract from the "Reflections, Practice, and Ethics in Historical Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The unified ethic has traditionally been used in other fields of study  as a foundation for ethical decision making. The unified ethic makes use of various ethical theories in a process that results in clarity and coherence of the conflict. This paper proposes that the unified ethic can be used to reach a consensus among...

This is an abstract from the "Reckoning with Legacy Exhibits, Data, and Collections" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Curating legacy archaeological collections poses complex challenges while offering an opportunity to engage students in critical dialogue about museum ethics, provenance research, and the politics of display. Stanford University students in my Spring 2024 course “Introduction to Museum Practice” grappled witih the purpose,...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Madeleine L Mant.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper Bodies: Excavating Archival Tissues and Traces", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Bioarchaeological researchers have increasingly looked to the archives to contextualize skeletal studies, opening exciting avenues of collaborative research. Biocultural anthropological research may not always prioritize skeletons as the primary source of body data, but instead draw upon bodies in archival materials such as...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Visualization of artifacts is a key element of archaeology and the dissemination of information. Although technology has improved exponentially in the past few decades, the ethical use of such visual depictions of artifacts have not caught up to the degree of information these images have the potential to convey. Here, I examine recent trends in the use...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Cultural Heritage Laws and Policies, Political Economy, and the Community Importance of Archaeological Sites", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The problem of the client as the selector of the consultant is not a new one. While SHPO consultant lists were designed to help with the problem of allowing developers access to qualified providers, the process of self-certification does not necessary work as intended....

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Alice: Recognizing the Many Contributions of Alice Beck Kehoe" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. With the constant encouragement of Alice Kehoe for the past quarter of a century, my wife Joy, the historian in this project, and I have adopted counter-mapping as an alternative approach to interpret the archaeological record of the Northwestern Plains as an imprint of Blackfoot oral traditions. This approach...

This is an abstract from the "Reckoning with Legacy Exhibits, Data, and Collections" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Museums, along with broader discipline of anthropology, are undoing significant ethical shifts as the field confronts the legacies of colonialism. In addition to rethinking how we make exhibits, label materials, and approach repatriations, we are also increasingly considering how collections were formed and their implications for...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hanna Marie Pageau.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Preservation Challenges in a Global Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Urban Archaeology is often treated as something that is either people explicitly studying the urban or as the result of inevitable 'grey' archaeology that happens through mandated CRM. It is often treated very differently than the rest of archaeology - this is seen in no better way than in the approach to the (lack of)...

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Alice: Recognizing the Many Contributions of Alice Beck Kehoe" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Alice Kehoe has been the reliable voice of reason in archaeology during my entire career. She championed women when the disciplinary hierarchy was a patriarchy that didn't see any problem. She advocated for Indigenous participation in knowledge production before terms like community and identity and colonialism...

This is an abstract from the "Animal Matters: Ethics in Zooarchaeology from Discovery to Display" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Efforts to decolonize archaeology have amplified in the last few decades, as they have in other disciplines. By and large, these efforts have yet to extend robustly to zooarchaeology. In many ways, however, zooarchaeology is well-positioned to make unique contributions to the decolonial program. This is especially true,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In Decolonizing Archaeology: On the Global Heritage of Epistemic Laziness, Rizvi (2015) introduced a concept called the epistemic injustice double-bind regarding an archaeologist’s position as translators of cultural materials, stewards and advocates for historic sites and populations, both past and present. The double-bind we find...

This is an abstract from the "Reckoning with Legacy Exhibits, Data, and Collections" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In June 2023, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS) closed its North American Indian Cultures Hall (NAICH), a legacy exhibit from the 1970s. In doing so, museum staff hoped to heal the harm caused by racist stereotypes perpetuated in the exhibit, and to repair broken relationships with Indigenous communities. When the doors...

This is an abstract from the "Animal Matters: Ethics in Zooarchaeology from Discovery to Display" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fossil and modern bones and bone assemblages featuring a variety of taphonomic damage are used as comparative materials to help zooarchaeologists interpret evidence of taphonomic processes. However, current information systems used for managing and sharing museum specimen data often lack the necessary structures for...

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...
