Maritime hunter-gatherers from Fuego-Patagonia are of special archaeological interest given their sudden emergence in the archaeological record and their highly specialized economic adaptation. In 2011 we carried an intense salvage archaeological excavation program along the central area of Strait of Magellan in Southernmost Patagonia, Chile. Here we present the results obtained from 1.546 m2 of excavation, where a total of 18 archaeological sites, located along the eastern shore of the...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Aircraft were a major component of the U.S. war effort in World War II, and today numerous examples can be found throughout the waters of the Asia-Pacific region. Due to their cultural and historical significance to modern stakeholders, understanding the decay trajectories has become an important issue in the realm of cultural heritage management, especially...

In 2016, SWCA Environmental Consultants conducted a limited Class II cultural resource inventory in the Bears Ears area in order to test a predictive model generated on behalf of the Monticello Field Office of the BLM for a Class I report. A historic stone-and-timber sheep corral with nearby rock inscriptions was located and mapped on the Butler Wash side of Comb Ridge during these efforts, and determined to be a historic Ute site with Navajo cultural elements. Subsequent revisits to the site...

This is an abstract from the "Public Lands, Public Sites: Research, Engagement, and Collaboration" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Military lands have evolved over the years, beginning as coastal defenses and outposts on the frontier, to major military installations that are small self-contained cities. Beyond their significance for national security and training, these lands contain natural and cultural resources that present unique challenges in...

Pennsylvania has a long history of human occupation and an array of community types and settlement patterns ranging from large cities to sparsely populated rural communities. This geographic and cultural diversity resulted in varying burial practices including small family plots in farm fields, religious burial grounds, as well as private and publicly-owned cemeteries. As the state grew and changed throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the legislature enacted or revised laws affecting...

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...

Mleiha in the center of the Emirate of Sharjah (UAE) presents a long archaeological history in which the natural environment plays an important role. The management of this site is complex and serves as a good practice example for the Salalah Doctrine. Our presentation will develop the challenges of management of archaeological sites in their special natural context involving the management of water resources, game and agriculture in an environment situated between the desert and the high...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Entry into cultural resource management (CRM) in British Columbia (BC) requires a bachelor of arts or science in anthropology or archaeology, academic streams not typically associated with high employability. Yet, archaeology in BC is booming. Industries traditionally employing BC archaeologists outside of academia, such as forestry and mining, must now...

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’...

This is an abstract from the "The Middle Atlantic Regional Transect Approach to Climate Change Impacts on Archaeological Resources" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fort Eustis is an approximately 8,000 acre peninsula bound by the Warwick and James rivers in Virginia’s Tidewater region. There are 234 identified archaeological sites on Fort Eustis that range in age from 10,000 BCE to the early twentieth century. In 2010 the Fort Eustis Cultural...

With recent events in the United States, monuments and their powerful implications have been widely covered across media outlets. Less often considered, however, are the monuments that were never built in the first place. This paper grapples with these questions archaeologically, ethnographically and historically by considering monuments and memory through extremely well-explored cases in Bavaria and through other far less discussed cases in the Northeastern U.S. It considers the historical...

This is an abstract from the "Seeking Freedom in the Borderlands: Archaeological Perspectives on Maroon Societies in Florida" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The fort at Prospect Bluff was not only a post held by the British during the War of 1812 but also, and perhaps most importantly, one of the largest maroon communities in North America. The British proclamation offering freedom to enslaved people in the United States in exchange for service in...

This is an abstract from the "Changes in the Land: Archaeological Data from the Northeast" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Gulf of Maine Archaic Tradition has been defined as a persistent technological pattern that spans the Early to Middle Archaic Periods ca. 9,500-6,000 B.P. in the northeast, although sites containing this component have remained poorly documented. It is possible that human population density in New England was low throughout...

This is an abstract from the "Social Justice in Native North American Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The past two decades of archaeology in California have produced several examples of successful indigenous and community-based research. There are still other examples of a lingering tension between archaeologists and tribes as the agendas of western science and indigenous epistemologies grate against one another. This current climate...

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...

This is an abstract from the "Beyond Collections: Federal Archaeology and "New Discoveries" under NAGPRA" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Forest Service manages 193 million acres and over 277,000 recorded sites throughout the United States; NAGPRA has become integral to how we conduct work. Developing POAs with tribes prior to intentional excavations has helped foster increased communication and collaboration; tribal roles in decision making...

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...
