This is an abstract from the "Misinformation and Misrepresentation Part 1: Reconsidering “Human Sacrifice,” Religion, Slavery, Modernity, and Other European-Derived Concepts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The term “democracy,” with its roots in the Greek word demokratia, originally referred to the capacity of “the people” to make collective decisions regarding wider society and to effect change in the public sphere. As republicanism emerged in...

Keep Your Eyes on the Practices and Process: Ann Stahl’s Impact on the Archaeology of the Bight of Benin and Beyond (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Crafting Archaeological Practice in Africa and Beyond: Celebrating the Contributions of Ann B. Stahl to Global Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Through a series of publications, boots on the ground fieldwork, and dynamic community collaboration, Ann Stahl set the pace for an engaged archaeology that centered historical processes, daily practices, scale, and dimensions of time. Although these theoretical...

Labor Coercion, Land Access, and Free Markets after Emancipation in the American Southeast and Caribbean (2024)
This is an abstract from the "*SE The State of Theory in Southeastern Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The use of theory and related models that explicitly lay out the causal processes that we hypothesize operated in the past to generate patterns archaeological data is a rarity in historical archaeology. It is especially hard to find examples of research that create or use models that are then tested using archaeological data. The...
LCT Movement due to Animal Locomotion: Model Experiments in a Trail Box (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experiments were performed using a scale model animal footstep simulator and similarly scaled lithic LCTs (Long Cutting/Core Tools) to test the hypothesis that the devices were manufactured for the purpose of being deployed in the path of target animals to damage their feet and make them easier to kill and use as a resource (Wayman 2010).
Learning from the past about the present and for the future (2015)
This paper argues that we would massively increase the value of our archaeological understanding of the past for the present if we cast it differently. Rather than use a reductionist, 'ex-post' approach (which explains the present by invoking the past, looking for origins), we should be using an "ex ante" approach that looks at the emergence of change, allowing us to learn from the past about the present and for the future. The paper first briefly summarizes some of the difficulties encountered...
Life Histories Thick and Thin: Scaling and Four Dimensions of Artifact Variability (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Method and Theory: Papers in Honor of James M. Skibo, Part II" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Life history analysis offers a means for organizing activities through time that tracks the interactions of one or more objects. These objects both human and nonhuman make up the stuff of ongoing cultures and their archaeological remains. We record these lives using four types of measures: object frequencies,...
Linking Black Studies and Archaeology through an Intersectional Materialism (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Deepening Archaeology's Engagement with Black Studies" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology is an inherently materialist pursuit linking history to the production of the world in which we live. Black intellectuals have played a critical role in the development of the social theories we use to explain that productive process. This paper will briefly outline some of these historical contributions to social theory...
Littoral Society and the Heterotopic Fabric of Early Medieval ports (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Mediterranean Archaeology: Connections, Interactions, Objects, and Theory" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ports have long been recognized as nodes within grand skeins of connectivity, the thresholds over which goods and ideas move into a wider hinterland. But how, and to what extent, do ports function as their own world, and what can we say about littoral society and the contextual relationship of sea-adjacent peoples...
The Living Archive of Çatalhöyük (LAC): Providing Big Data Laboratories as Open Environments for Archaeological Research (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In archaeology data are stored in ways that reflect the strategies of research while conventional data repositories tend to freeze the original databases within their initial storage logic. In contrast, the interpretation of primary evidence changes during a project's lifecycle, and it becomes difficult for later researchers with different research questions,...

Long-Term Cultural Persistence in Modern Humans: Some Case Studies from Early and Mid-Holocene Archaeological Traditions in Eastern South America and Theoretical Implications (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We will present chronological, morphometrical, technological, and subsistence data coming from eastern South America related to four Paleoindian cultural traditions occupying different areas since the beginning of the Holocene. All these four traditions present a remarkable cultural stability that shows few parallels in the archaeological record. Using these...

A Macroarchaeology Approach: How Can Archaeology Make Novel and Useful Contributions to Evolutionary Theory? (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Human Origins: Archaeological Perspectives" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The quality of the archaeological record limits the range of evolutionary research questions archaeologists can ask. The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis mostly describes micro-scale phenomena that unfold at the hierarchical level of the individual and over very short time scales. This means that most of...
The Making of the 1928 Hurricane Victims 1 and 2: Excavating Identity in an Unknowable Legacy Collection (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Storeroom Taphonomies: Site Formation in the Archaeological Archive" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In traditional bioarchaeological practice, the first scientific identities fixed to skeletal remains are the labels given to them when they are excavated. From there, the basic information about the remains is built from those first identifying features associated with the site. But what happens if the remains are...
