Tektaş Burnu is a Classical Greek shipwreck from the 5th century BCE which sank off the coast of Tektaş Burnu, Turkey. Excavated between 1999 and 2001, this ship was found to carry a cargo of, pine tar, pottery, kitchen tools and wine in over 200 potentially Erythraen amphorae. The ship itself was consumed by shipworms so the size was determined by the location of the cargo, a pair of marble opthalmoi and lead-filled anchor stocks. This project has taken the findings from this excavation – the...
Dipt, Painted, and Printed Wares: Ceramic Assemblages from Enslaved Homes as Evidence of Personal Choice at James Madison's Montpelier (2015)
For the past four years the Montpelier Archaeology Department has focused its research on the late-18th and early-19th-century enslaved community representing field hands, domestic servants, and skilled laborers and artisans. This paper will focus on the ceramic assemblages excavated from those areas and will discuss similarities and differences in decorative styles, vessel forms, and ceramic types using a vessel-based analysis. Decorative styles commonly found on white refined earthenwares will...
Directionality in Ceramic Vessel Construction and Ceremonial Circuitry in the Ancestral Pueblo World: A Case Study from Pueblo Bonito (2016)
This paper explores the relationship between utility ware vessel construction and widely shared elements of cosmology in the Chaco interaction sphere through an examination of corrugated gray ware ceramics from Pueblo Bonito. The direction of coiling, which is inversely related to the angle of corrugation or pinching, appears to be a conservative element of ceramic technological style and is typically consistent within regions. As these differences cannot be accounted for by handedness alone, it...
Disruption or Continuity?: Iconography on portable objects in Classic to Epiclassic Jalisco and Zacatecas (2015)
This study investigates the rarely studied iconography of Pseudo-Cloisonné vessels from Jalisco and Zacatecas through a comparison with earlier portable imagery. Recent interpretations of the shaft tomb figures of the Formative/Classic periods have begun to interpret their religious and political content and contextualize them archaeologically. But imagery in western Mexico takes a radical new turn in the Epiclassic period (AD 500-900), when the most elaborate iconography is found on the complex...
Distribution Patterns and Production Technology of Ancient Maya Ceramics in the Three Rivers Region (2015)
Since 2009, investigative research for the Dos Hombres to Gran Cacao (DH2GC) project has focused on an unsurveyed area in the immediate northeastern periphery of Dos Hombres and has expanded to include an area located two kilometers southeast from the La Milpa site core. The incorporation of a broad multiregional comparative dataset will facilitate a greater understanding of the sociopolitical dynamicity on multiple social and economic levels within the Three Rivers Region in Northwestern...
The DIVAD Archeological Project (1993)
This report summarizes the results of the Division Air Defense (DIVAD) archaeological project. The project was initiated in response to a proposal to construct and use airstrip facilities on McGregor Guided Missile Range on Fort Bliss, a military installation in far western Texas and southern New Mexico. The project was designed to mitigate the adverse effect of the airstrip's construction upon prehistoric cultural remains. It was conducted by the Fort Bliss Environmental Management Office from...
Dogoszhi-Style Ceramics as Markers of Elite Status within the Chacoan Regional System (2017)
Dogoszhi-style ceramics are prevalent throughout the Ancestral Puebloan world during the 11th-13th centuries, and have been suggested as a marker of elite status within the Chacoan World. The replication of the style across different wares and media, occurrence on special forms, and in some cases highly skilled painting, suggests a shared social significance at the regional scale. We investigate this proposition by examining the distribution of the style across the Chacoan World using the...
The Dolores Archaeological Program
From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse impact of a large water impoundment project on the cultural resources in the project area. This complex and evolving long-term mitigation plan known as the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP) has been called a “truly unique chapter in American archaeology” (Breternitz 1993:118) and was applauded by Lipe (1998:2) for its ability to “increase the power and...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-017: 1978 Additive Analysis Report (1981)
Analysis of Dolores Cultural Resources Mitigation Program ceramic collections from excavations of prehistoric sites was undertaken beginning in October 1978. An inventory analysis was designed to: (1) approach specific questions of the Research Design; (2) provide an inventory of those materials in relation to taxonomic and provenience systems; and (3) establish a data base for the selection of materials for intensive analyses. A coding system was developed to place the data into a machine...
Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-083: Excavations at LeMoc Shelter (Site 5MT2151), a multiple-occupation Anasazi site (1983)
LeMoc Shelter (Site 5MT2151) is a small, stratified site on the south-facing slope of the Dolores River canyon. During excavation of the shelter by the Dolores Archaeological Program, the remains of five successive Anasazi occupations that date to between A.D. 750 and 950 were discovered. During the earliest documented occupation, which dates to the late Sagehill Subphase (A.D. 750-780), the shelter appears to have been occupied year-round by a nuclear family or small extended family. The next...
Down in the Dumps: An Introduction to Feature 7 at the Pierce Hichborn House (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Pierce Hichborn House (PHH), a historical home in the North End of Boston, has experienced transformations throughout its long history of occupation. Initially, the property was a single family home, before transitioning to a tenement building in the 19th century. Feature 7 of the PHH site, with a presumed date range of late 17th to early 20th century, manifests a blend of...
Dragons through a Ceramic Lens: Evidence for a North-Central Belize Ceramic (Sub)-Sphere (2015)
As viewed through a ceramic lens, it is becoming evident that North-Central Belize was distinct from surrounding areas. Starting in the Middle Preclassic, the ceramics of the Swasey/Bladen Sphere of North-Central Belize are notably different than those of adjacent areas of the Belize Valley, Peten, and Yucatan. The extent of the Middle Preclassic Swasey/Bladen Sphere is becoming clearer with work at Ka’Kabish and the surrounding area. Similarly, the Terminal Classic/Early Postclassic ceramics...

Dunkerhook: Transition, Acculturation, and Resilience (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "African American Voices In The Mid-Atlantic: Archaeology Of Elusive Freedom, Enslavement, And Rebellion" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the mid-19th century, formerly enslaved Africans founded an emergent locality at Dunkerhook, establishing a community of their own. The community flourished an African- American occupancy in the area continued to expand into the early 20th century. Recent archaeological...

Dutch Artifacts in the NYC Archaeological Repository: The Nan A. Rothschild Repository Center (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "More than Pots and Pipes: New Netherland and a World Made by Trade" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The New York City Archaeological Repository houses artifacts from sites excavated within the city under the auspices of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, including those from the New Netherland period and the early (ca. 1664-1700) English colonial town. Many of these sites were dug in the 1980s and it’s...
