Food in the Contact Zone: Reimagining Highland-Coastal Contact in the Prehispanic Moche Valley of North Coastal Peru (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Dana Bardolph. Brian Billman. Jesus Briceno.

In this paper, we explore migration and culture contact in the prehispanic Moche Valley of north coastal Peru, specifically through the lens of domestic foodways. During the Early Intermediate Period (EIP, 400 B.C. to A.D. 800), serrano groups from the neighboring highlands colonized many principal river valleys along the Peruvian north coast; however, the nature of highland colonization remains poorly understood. Scholars have envisioned diverse interactions between locals and nonlocals, from...


For Richer or Poorer: A Comparison of Residential Mobility Patterns between Socioeconomic Groups at the La Ventilla District of Teotihuacan (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Gina Buckley. Spencer Seman.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations from the La Ventilla 1992-1994 project resulted in the recovery of over 400 individuals across four apartment compounds or frentes, the common household structure at Teotihuacan. Of these compounds, Frente 2 (El Conjunto de los Glifos) has been identified as a higher-status residential community while Frente 3 (El Conjunto de los Artesanos)...


From Freetown to the City Up North: Mapping Rural to Urban Migration in Early Twentieth Century Austin, Texas (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jannie N Scott.

The mobility patterns of rural black southerners who relocated to southern cities during the early 1900s is an often-overlooked topic in discussions of early twentieth century rural to urban migration. Using geographic information systems (GIS) software to map and analyze census records, city directories, and other historical documents, this paper presents a micro-level case study of the migration and settlement patterns of former residents from Antioch Colony, Texas between the years of 1900...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Oluseyi, O. Agbelusi.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Contact and Colonialism" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In May-June 2018, I conducted a preliminary archaeo­logical investigation on Tasso Island and Freetown, Sierra Leone. The goal of this investigation is/was to identify, map and record the archaeological remains of the early colonial period of coastal Sierra Leone, focusing on the Krio and Aku settlements. The Krio and Aku people are descendants...


From Scatterplots to Statistics: Identifying the Local Isotope Range in Multivariate Data (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Benjamin Valentine. Penny Jones. Erik Otárola-Castillo.

In recent decades, isotopic assays of strontium, lead, and oxygen in biological remains have revolutionized archaeological migration studies by providing direct evidence for the occurrence, timing, and geographic origins of individual residence change. Such research requires the clear identification of ‘local’ isotopic baselines for comparison against assayed individuals, and yet no single method to accomplish this task has emerged as best practice. Some researchers advocate the use of commensal...

Genetic Identity and Relationships in the Southwest United States and Mexico (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Meradeth Snow. Ana Morales-Arce.

The prehistoric occupants of the Southwestern United States and Mexico have many similarities, including maize agriculture and the Uto-Aztecan language family. A genetic relationship, potentially due to migration between the regions, has been investigated through mitochondrial DNA analysis. However, limited modern and ancient samples, a focus on the hypervariable region of the mitogenome, and limited samples from intermediate regions between the Valley of Mexico and the cultural complexes in the...


Genetic Insights into Indo-European Origins (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only David Reich.

This is an abstract from the "Wheels, Horses, Babies and Bathwaters: Celebrating the Impact of David W. Anthony on the Study of Prehistory" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ancient genomic data has provided important new clues that help to address the more than 200-year-old problem of the origin of Indo-European languages. Beginning in 2015, a series of papers have shown that Yamnaya steppe pastoralists--who spread over the steppes north of the...


Genome-wide Ancient DNA from Historical Siberia as a Lens on Yeniseian Population History (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexander Kim. Tatyana Savenkova. Svetlana Smushko. Yevgenia Reis. David Reich.

This is an abstract from the "Ancient DNA in Service of Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The relevance of ancient DNA to debates in language prehistory is a noteworthy strand in Eurasian archaeogenetic research, where much effort has gone towards relating these data to Indo-European. We relate new genome-wide ancient DNA data from a historical Siberian individual to Yeniseian, an enigmatic and isolated language "microfamily" at the...


Genomic Data from Paquimé: Understanding the Cultural and Genetic Ties of the Site (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Meradeth Snow. Michael Searcy. Jakob Sedig. Jose Luis Punzo.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Paquimé, located in the Casas Grandes region of Northern Mexico, presents a rich cultural tradition with ties to populations to the South and North. Ancient mitochondrial DNA from Paquime’s occupants has not provided evidence of large-scale in-migration that led to the fluorescence of the site, as some scholars have hypothesized. This paper focuses on...


Genomic insights into long-term domestic animal translocation (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Greger Larson.

Animal domestication first began at least 14,000 years ago with the archaeological emergence of domestic dogs. A multitude of other animals followed suit more or less coincident with the origins of settled agriculture in numerous locations independently. The history of human translocations of wild animals dates back to at least 40,000 years ago, and humans were certainly responsible for the appearance of the wild progenitors of domestic animals on islands prior to their domestication. Here, I...


Genuinely Collaborative Archaeological Work Is ‘Slow’, Or It Is Nothing: Lessons From The ‘Migrant Materialities’ Project (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachael R M Kiddey.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Slow Archaeology + Fast Capitalism: Hard Lessons and Future Strategies from Urban Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The challenge? To bring a team of 8-12 adult migrants to undertake participatory archaeological interpretation work on data recently recorded in four European locations. The opportunity? To welcome enthusiastic migrant colleagues from eight former European colonies into the heart of...


Geographical isotopes, migration and the Tlajinga District of Teotihuacan (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Gina Buckley. Rebecca Storey. Kenneth G. Hirth. Douglas J. Kennett. Brendan J. Culleton.

The Tlajinga district was a possible southern entrance for visitors to the city of Teotihuacan. It was also a locus of craft specialization, especially of San Martin Orange ceramics in the later periods, yet was a cluster of common status neighborhoods. The Tlajinga 33 compound (33:S3W1) was extensively excavated 30 years ago, and recent excavations in two other compounds located along the southern Street of the Dead by the Tlajinga Teotihuacan Archaeological Project (PATT), have added to our...


Getting By on East Fork of Indian Creek: Archaeology of Early Twentieth City Life in Eastern Kentucky (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kim A. McBride.

This paper presents recent excavations at two domestic sites in Menifee County, Kentucky.  Information on site structure and material culture were obtained from the excavations, and combined with data from documentary and oral history sources.   The area, now fairly remote due to its position with the Daniel Boone National Forest, was once well connected as the end of the line of a logging railroad, and a community nucleus with a school, possibly a commissary type store, and railroad-based mail...


Getting the Chronology Correct: Bayesian Chronological Analysis of Initial Ceramic Deposits in Island Southeast Asia (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ethan Cochrane. Timothy Rieth. Darby Filimoehala.

This is an abstract from the "Research and CRM Are Not Mutually Exclusive: J. Stephen Athens—Forty Years and Counting" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout his career Steve Athens has been concerned with generating archaeological chronologies that, because of their precision and validity, add to our understanding of the past. Steve was never one to generate dates of dubious quality simply to produce a table in a report. In this spirit, and...


Going Downhill: the Evolution of a Sheffield Neighbourhood from the 17th to the 20th Century (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rowan E May.

During the 2000s, Sheffield saw a sharp increase in developer-funded excavation of 18th- and 19th-century archaeological sites. This was due to extensive re-development of the city centre and a growing recognition of the importance of industrial-period remains to Sheffield’s heritage and identity. Remains of working-class housing built in association with a rapid rise in the population from the mid-18th century formed a significant proportion of the excavated sites. This paper will consider the...
