We will celebrate the contributions of Lynne Goldstein to regional and public archaeology both in the Midwest and in Florida. We will begin by reviewing her innovative work with regional archaeology and political outreach in Wisconsin. When the opportunity arose in Florida to create a state-wide public archaeology program, we called on her to assist with forming the plan and with its implementation. The Florida Public Archaeology Network owes much to Dr. Goldstein, who has served on its board...

This is an abstract from the "Geoarchaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Maine’s coastline hosts over 2,000 Native American shell middens. Composed of clam and/or oyster shells, faunal remains, and artifacts, these sites record over four thousand years of cultural and paleoenvironmental information. However, virtually all of these rich archives are eroding in the face of climate change-induced sea level rise and altered weather patterns. The...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. With the call from the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to make federally-funded research openly and immediately available, many archaeologists, archivists, and CRM professionals in the U.S. are left wondering how this affects their research and ability to preserve and protect their data. Most affected by this governance are state and...

This is an abstract from the "Geospatial Studies in the Archaeology of Oceania" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The island communities of Oceania, and none more so than that of Rapa Nui (Easter Island, Chile), continue to develop their economies, modern identities, and narratives of their cultural past based on plentiful archaeological remains that are visited by hundreds, or even thousands, of people on a daily basis. While archaeologists surge...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent discoveries of substantial offshore oil and gas reserves and large-scale international development projects highlight the need to identify and preserve Guyana’s poorly documented cultural heritage. At particular risk of destruction are some of Guyana’s Silk Cotton (Ceiba pentandra) trees, which serve as tangible markers of one aspect of the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Ohanapecosh Area of Mount Rainier National Park contains diverse historic properties associated with multiple types and periods of Significance.

This is an abstract from the "Chicanx Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. What is the connection between place and identity?

Under the terms of a Memorandum of Agreement, a professional archaeologist and land-survey crew annually visit 16 historic properties within the Area of Potential Effects of the Maple River Flood Control Dam to document site conditions. All are archaeological sites that could be subjected to seasonal temporary inundation during spring runoff and/or periodic non-winter storm events. Since the "dry dam" first became operational during spring melt in 2007, extreme flood events occurred in 2009 and...

This statement highlights the need for a comprehensive regional study of archaeological...

This is an abstract from the "Current Dynamics of Heritage Values in the Americas" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Stone sculptures played a crucial role in socio-religious practices of the Recuay people between AD 100 and 700 in the north-central Peruvian highlands. Associated with ceremonial, funerary, and residential spaces, Recuay sculptures were objects of cult and veneration. Today, most of the surviving sculptures persist in the inhabitants’...

The 1990s, with quincentenary ‘celebrations’ and two highly influential Taino art exhibits in Paris and New York (the epicentres of the pre-Columbian art market), heralded a seismic increase of indigenous Caribbean art forgeries. But these weren’t the first indications of an emerging market: Caribbean forgeries had been circulating since at least the 1950s. The artistic heritage of the pre-Columbian Caribbean still remains largely understudied, with far smaller-scale production than seen in...

The last two decades in the south central Andes have witnessed the rapid growth of "Turismo Mistico" or New Age Tourism to archaeological sites and monuments in the south central Andes. Using the Cusco Valley of Peru as a case study, this paper analyzes textual, visual, experiential, and ethnographic data in order to assess the economic and socio-political impact this industry has on the communities in which it thrives. In particular, I explore the implications New Age Tourism has on local and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The goal of this project is to show the significance of language in the cultural heritage management and protection efforts. In heritage law, language is the tool that reifies morals into (looked-for) action, thus shaping behaviorism. Since legalese defines what heritage is, it affects the way that archaeologists see, understand, act on, and preserve...
