The Roosevelt Community Development Study, Number 14, Volume 3: Paleobiological and Osteological Analyses (1995)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Alaina Harmon

The Roosevelt Community Development Study (RCD) involved the testing and excavation of 27 sites in the Lower Tonto Basin of central Arizona. This is one of three related data recovery projects undertaken in the Tonto Basin for the Bureau of Reclamation prior to the raising of the Roosevelt Lake dam. The results of the RCD project are presented in four Anthropological Papers of the Center for Desert Archaeology: Anthropological Papers No. 12 is the research design; Anthropological Papers No. 13...

Shell, Trade, and Systems of Value at the Dawn of Agriculture in the Tucson Basin (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only June Burke.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Current studies on nacreous shell jewelry, those with an iridescent inner layer, during the Early Agricultural period (2100 BC - 150 AD) (Vint 2017) have chiefly examined how the material was brought into the Tucson Basin without much consideration for if it’s presence in the region was purely due to chance or if it was specifically chosen. Central to that...

Shemya Island and the Question of Inland Sites (2008)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Debra Corbett.

During the July 2002 excavation of sewer lines at Eareckson Air Station, two prehistoric midden deposits containing shell, bone, whalebone, stone and bone artifacts, and human remains were exposed. The Air Force Remote Sites archaeologist, Karlene Leeper, halted the work until archaeologists could determine whether the remains represented an in situ cultural deposit, or whether midden was transported as fill from elsewhere. Joined by Diane Hanson of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Leeper...

The Spiritual Economy of Shell in Native North America: Still Circulating (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Hayes.

Shell material, particularly marine shell, has long been recognized in the archaeology of pre-colonial America as a “prestige” good of complex meaning. Particularly in the Mississippian world, shell traveled great distances and appeared in richly meaningful contexts of use. Even in areas abundant in shellfish, however, it played a complex role: food, adornment, pottery temper, landscape alteration. After colonization shell use did not disappear, and oral traditions indicate some of the ways in...

Sustainable research in archaeological science: Examples from high-and low resolution biogeochemical studies of archaeological shell (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meghan Burchell.

Advances in archaeological sciences demonstrated the (almost) unlimited potential to apply new methods and techniques to existing and under-utilized archaeological collections. Developing programs of research using innovative and multi-disciplinary approaches to the analysis of material cultural, hard tissues, sediments and organic remains are critical to move the discipline of archaeological sciences forward. More critical, is the balance between technical skills one learns to become an...

There And Back Again: A Geochemical Analysis of Casas Grandes Shell Procurement and Exchange (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Krug. Kyle Waller. Christine VanPool.

Previous studies of shell exchange in the Southwest have supported archaeological interpretations of competing regional networks in which the Hohokam, Sinagua, and Anasazi acquired shell from the Gulf of California, while the Casas Grandes, Mimbres, and Western Puebloan groups acquired shell from West Mexico. This study will build on previous analyses by integrating stylistic analysis with an expanded compositional database to further examine the role of shell exchange in the Animas phase region...

Use-Wear Analysis on Shell Artifacts (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Nisch.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Shells feature prominently in prehistoric archaeological assemblages in the southeastern United States. However, serrated freshwater mussel shells, of the type found at a Late Woodland site in North Carolina and other area sites, have not been studied and their use been unknown. These freshwater mussel shells were given a serrated edge, with evenly spaced...
