This is an abstract from the "Beyond Triage: Prioritizing Responses to Climate Change Impacts on Archaeological Resources" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Climate change induced impacts (accelerated sea level rise, increased storm frequency and intensity, and additional freeze/thaw events) are destroying shell heap, or midden, sites all along the Maine coast. Some sites described 20 years ago are now gone. With approximately 2,000 known sites, it...

The State of the Art in Stating Risk: Assessment of Climate Vulnerability Assessments for National Park Service Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Resources (2018)
Across America, the National Park Service has conducted an array of vulnerability assessments for climate change impacts for cultural heritage resources, including archaeology, historic structures, cultural landscapes, and others. A project is currently underway to analyze these assessments. This process is designed to improve the practice of vulnerability assessments as well as scientific understanding of cultural resources vulnerability to climate change. In this paper we share preliminary...
State-level law and prosecutorial interest in archaeological resources protection (2019)
This is an abstract from the "New Perspectives on Heritage Protection: Accomplishing Goals" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological site damage, destruction, and looting is nothing new. For years, the archaeological community has bemoaned the minimal protections for these resources under federal law. Little discussion has occurred regarding what protections may exist under various states’ legal regimes. This paper reviews Louisiana’s...
Staying Relevant: Turning Your Sites from Blights to Rights (2018)
One of the hazards of doing archaeology on federal land is being viewed as a roadblock to training, construction and other undertakings. The normal treatment for National Register eligible sites once they are found is to set them aside as off limits to training and other activities. Naturally, this is not popular with those providing funding to keep training lands open and sustainable. The Fort Drum Cultural Resources Program has developed unique methods for protecting sites while allowing...

Student-Driven Case Studies of Private Collector Collaborations: From the San Luis Valley of Colorado to Portland, Oregon (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Because of private land and genuine human curiosity, members of the public often hold considerable archaeological knowledge and cultural resources that professionals in the field have historically overlooked. When these collectors are "responsible, responsive stewards", language set forth by the SAA Archaeologist-Collector Collaboration Interest Group, they...
Students Discover Heritage: Lessons from the Field Boston University Field School in Archaeological Heritage Management (Menorca-Spain) (2018)
Boston University’s field school in Menorca, Spain, started 17 years ago as a traditional field school experience. Over the years, we incorporated the study of archaeological heritage management—both theoretical and practical—as an integral part of the curriculum. In the last decade, the increasing number of students interested in cultural heritage management inspired us to move to a heritage management-only field school. This poster will present the results of our first season. Menorca is a...
Subterranean Homesick Blues: Excavations at Site 51SE071, a Native American Settlement along the Anacostia River, Washington, D.C. (2018)
Construction of DC Water's new Poplar Point Pump Station in southeast Washington, D.C., led to the discovery of a buried river terrace under an I-295 interchange that contained Native American artifacts dating from the Middle Archaic period through the Late Woodland period. Archaeologists working more than 15 feet below ground in the construction footprint of a large subterranean structure recovered more than 7000 artifacts and identified the remains of a cooking hearth feature. This paper will...
Successes and Challenges of Documenting Traditional Cultural Properties/Places (2023)

This anecdotal information raises the question of whether field schools and undergraduate programs...
Sustainability and Tradition in Anindo Village, Okinawa, Japan (2018)
A recent collaborative effort by Japanese and American archaeologists and environmental scientists identified and examined the historic (ca. 1897-late 1950s) Anindo Village. Located within the stream valleys and mountainous uplands of the Kanna Watershed in central Okinawa, Japan, Anindo Village was a short-lived reclaimed land settlement dependent on both agricultural and forestry-based economic practices. This paper examines the distribution of archaeological sites and the natural and cultural...
