Identifying Hunter-Gatherer Socialized Landscapes in the Bridger Mountains, Montana (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Meghan Dudley.

Archaeologists working in the Rocky Mountains and throughout the world have long recognized that people invest social meanings into the landscape around them. Based on de Certeau’s (1984) "Spatial Stories," these "socialized landscapes" consist of two archaeologically identifiable components: espaces (practiced spaces) and tours (practiced paths). I operationalize these ideas by creating archaeological expectations for six socialized landscape types and ask what types of socialized landscapes...

In Appreciation Of Marley Brown (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen Mrozowski.

I first met Marley Brown in 1973 when he was both a PhD candidate at Brown University and an Assistant Professor – a dual status that reflected his role in the early development of Historical Archaeology. As both a student of the young field and one of its early leaders, Marley had a unique place in the growth of Historical Archaeology in New England. Marley would go on to be an inspiration, mentor, critic, collaborator and friend. Anyone who has worked with Marley knows that he could be all of...


In Defense of Data: Realigning Archaeological Modeling Theory with Modern Statistical Learning Approaches (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Harris.

The acceptance of statistical modeling as common practice in archaeological studies is highly varied across applications and methodological focus. As a field, we lack a unified body of model building theory, best practices, and examples that demonstrate the successes and failures of various techniques applied specifically to archaeological data. The literature on archaeological predictive modeling (APM) provides a notable example in the form of the "Inductive" vs. "Deductive" debate. This false...

Indigenizing the Typology (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only S. Margaret Spivey-Faulkner.

The typology is one of the archaeologist's oldest analytical tools and it pervades nearly every facet of archaeological research, whether explicitly or implicitly. Using theories of practice, ethnographic evidence of Native American classification systems, and an interdisciplinary understanding of human perception and pattern recognition, this work attempts to deconstruct and reconstruct the typology as a tool of archaeological analysis, with an eye toward creating a newly theorized typology to...

Interconnected Approaches and Submerged Landscapes - Setting the Scene Through The Lens of Theory (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Loren Clark.

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. It is easy to forget the fact that the ability to access submerged sites has come relatively recently within the field of archaeology. Because of this, we often find ourselves seeking to drive the field forward through the development of new methods and technologies. While it will always be imperative that maritime archaeologists...

Intersectionality and Plantation Archaeology: Intertwining the Past, Present and Future (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberly Kasper. Dwight Fryer. Jamie Evans. Claire Norton.

Intersectionality is a useful framework to employ when reconstructing the everyday lives of enslaved individuals during the Antebellum. Often, archaeologists find it difficult to create narratives that connect the material culture of the individuals we excavate with their dynamic experiences, especially impacts of sexual and economic exploitation, human rights and the rule of law. This paper focuses on the overlapping of multiple identities (in this case enslaved and free women and men on the...


Intertwined Histories and Relational Personhood: Maya Co-essences (Spirit or Way Companions) Past and Present (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christina Halperin.

It is widely recognized that co-essences or spirit companions (wayob) were a part of ancient Maya understandings of personhood. Partly because ethnographic analogies are used to understand ancient practices, it is easy to assume that beliefs and experiences surrounding Maya co-essences were static over many hundreds of years. In examining archaeological, epigraphic, ethnohistoric, and ethnographic data, this paper investigates the history of co-essences and, in turn, the way in which co-essences...

An Introduction to Failure in the Archaeological Record (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Yitzchak Jaffe.

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Failure" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological theory has engaged little with failures, at least at certain scales. In this introduction, we attempt to lay out issues with the anthropological definition of failure while also drawing attention to issues of scale. While archaeologists readily identify “Big F” failures, such as social collapse and site abandonment, they less frequently consider...

Is Analogical Reference Possible for the Earliest Paleoarchaeological Assemblages? (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Thompson.

This is an abstract from the "Inference in Paleoarchaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There is no consensus about how to define the first paleoarchaeological record, or how old it is. An assemblage of flaked stone artifacts from Lomekwi 3, Kenya, dates to 3.3 million years ago. Two fossil specimens at the 3.34-million-year-old site of Dikika-55, Ethiopia, preserve butchery marks on their surfaces. The strength of interpretation that these...


Is Digital Data Different? (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Huggett.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Vision in the Age of Big Data" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological data is notoriously tricksy: while we appreciate it is always incomplete, frequently unreliable, often replete with unknown unknowns, we nevertheless make the best of what we have and use it to build our theories and extrapolations about past events. Are data in a digital environment any different? Is there any reason to think...
