A NEW APPROACH TO PRECONTACT ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON THE ANNAPOLIS RIVER SYSTEM, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Deal. John Campbell. Bryn Tapper.

Boswell (BfDf-08) is the first archaeological site to be excavated along the Annapolis River, in north-central Nova Scotia. Previously, less than 50 sites had been recorded in the 2130 square kilometer watershed, and only a few of these were tested. Therefore, Boswell is the baseline for our understanding of precontact occupation for this entire drainage system. Thus far, the site has revealed a cultural sequence beginning with the Transitional Archaic (ca. 4100-2700 BP), followed by Middle and...


The Pennsylvania Precontact Predictive Model (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Clare Farrow. Jessica Conway. Haley Hoffman.

In 2015, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration sponsored the development of a predictive model for prehistoric site locations in Pennsylvania. Since the development and release of the model, numerous surveys have been performed across the state, and many new prehistoric archaeological sites have been identified and mapped. During the 2016 and 2017 summers, undergraduate and graduate archaeology students participating the Pennsylvania Department of...


Riparian Protection and Restoration as a Necessary Mitigation Practice (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Misha Miller-Sisson.

This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. When looking at the cultural landscape archaeological surveys often only consider the direct effects that construction projects have on observed cultural resources. Secondary effects such as erosion from construction activity, building usage, and waste deposition are often ignored. Disturbances to the seven aspects of site integrity often...


The Submerged Precontact Landscape of Saint Croix, USVI (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Trevor H Gittelhough. Olivia Thomas.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Approaches to Submerged and Coastal Landscapes", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The advancement of maritime cultural landscapes has grown every year since its inception, but its focus has often been focused on the historic landscape while neglecting the prehistoric landscape. There are however, attempts in rectifying this throughout the world. Research during the summer of 2023 on Saint Croix, USVI, was one...
