Architecture and Spatial Organization of Urban Cercaduras at the Early Horizon Center of Caylán, Nepeña Valley, Peru (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashley Whitten. David Chicoine.

This poster presents architectural and spatial data from monumental urban compounds or cercaduras at the Early Horizon center of Caylán (800-1 B.C.), Nepeña Valley, Department of Ancash, Peru. Caylán is interpreted as the primary center of a multi-tiered polity that developed in the littoral portion of the Nepeña Valley and reached its peak during the second half of the first millennium BC.

The build environment on Late Postclassic terraces in Tlaxcallan (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ricardo Antorcha Pedemonte. Lane F. Fargher. Richard E. Blanton. Verenice Y. Heredia Espinoza. John K. Millhauser.

During intensive survey and mapping of the Late Postclassic City of Tlaxcallan, we noted that the inhabitants of the ancient city of Tlaxcallan, in Tlaxcala, Mexico, developed a dense settlement pattern and complex urban landscape during the Late Postclassic (A.D. 1250-1521). Specifically, massive terraces and open and accessible plazas dominated this landscape. In this paper, we present the initial results of excavations on a series of terraces located at the northern edge of the city. This...

Graphic narration and Spatial Organization in the Grotte Chauvet-Pont d'Arc (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marc Azéma.

The Aurignacian site of Grotte Chauvet-Pont d’Arc (Ardèche, ca. 37,000 calBP) signals the origin of figurative art, with nearly 500 stylistically uniform parietal decorations. Images of animals are composed in a spectacular fashion, especially in the Secteur des Chevaux and the Salle du Fond. The latter, the end of the cave’s passages, is the clearest example of the management of subterranean space by Paleolithic artists in the interest of achieving their ultimate intention: to narrate by image....

Landscapes and Lived Spaces: Preliminary Survey Of An 19th Century Enslaved and Emancipated Community At The North End Site (9MC81), Creighton Island, GA. (2022)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven J Filoromo. Elliot H Blair.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Tabby ruins along the marsh and bits of historic ceramic strewn across the surface of the North End Site (9MC81) on Creighton Island, GA, are among the only traces left of a once vibrant African American Postbellum and earlier enslaved Antebellum community. Combining the results of a systematic shovel test pit survey and excavations in 2018 and 2021, we explore the spatial organization of...

TIMBER! Industry, Movement, and Changing Spaces in Late 19th-Century Sapelo Sound, GA (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven J Filoromo. Elliot H Blair.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Port of Call: Archaeologies of Labor and Movement through Ports", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the late 19th Century, communities around Sapelo Sound in coastal Georgia, USA, reconfigured the social and physical landscapes to participate in the international timber economy. During this period, those living at the North End Site (9MC81) on Creighton Island, GA, reconfigured the former plantation into...
