Reading Between the Lines: A Biscuitware Analysis in the Lower Chama Valley (2017)
Archaeologists have long understood that the Lower Chama Valley in New Mexico was home to a large Tewa population during the Classic Period (A.D. 1340-1540) but the area underwent dramatic depopulation by A.D. 1600. The precise timing, motivation and movements of people are unclear due to the lack of chronological control in the region. One way to address this chronological problem in the Lower Chama Valley is through analysis of the abundant and locally produced biscuitware pottery. Bandelier...
Really ugly Nasca pots of ancient Peru, and why they are important. (2017)
Polychrome ceramics of the Nasca culture (south coast of Peru, c. 100 BC - AD 600) are world renowned as one of the most colorful and artistically complex creations of the ancient Americas. Up to ten distinct colors depicting fabulous supernatural creatures adorn unique vessel forms with eggshell thin walls fixed in perfect oxidizing firings. Such masterpieces fill art books and spawn enthusiastic but fanciful speculations about Nasca society and its artisans. This paper rounds out the view of...
Reanalysis of the Japanese Gulch Village Collection: Japanese Ceramics Recovered from a Pacific Northwest Issei Community (2018)
Japanese Gulch Village, located on the Mukilteo Lumber Company complex in Washington State, was home to a community of Issei millworkers and their families between 1903 and 1930. Excavations conducted in the vicinity of this village in 2007 recovered a large archaeological collection that included at least 100 Japanese-manufactured ceramic vessels. This paper presents a reanalysis of a selection of these vessels using an expanded typology specific to historical Japanese table- and sake wares....
Recent archaeological excavations at the Aklis Site, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (2015)
The Aklis site (12VAm1-42) is a multicomponent prehistoric conch shell midden containing cemetery and habitation components. Large portions of the site are currently subject to damage from rising sea levels and modern disturbances, including looting. Salvage excavations of two sets of human remains in 2012 led to the development of an archaeological field school in 2014, offered by Mississippi State University and in conjunction with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Survey and excavation...
Recent Research in Residue Analysis in Old World and New World Contexts (2017)
Analysis of organic residues continues to be a productive method of extracting information from prehistoric material culture. This paper presents current results of several ongoing research projects, involving several teams of researchers. Two projects present recent research into the origins of tobacco smoking through the analysis of tobacco pipes, including a sample of pipes associated with the Southeastern Late Archaic Poverty Point culture, and a second sample of pipes associated with Early...

Rediscovering the Negative or Resist Decoration Techniques: Last Step of a Millenary Tradition at the Hernández Cano Workshop, Zinapécuaro, Michoacán (2015)
The history of the negative or resist technique decoration on Prehispanic ceramics is very long and complex. It begins at the El Opeño site and appears in many Mesoamerican western regions through time, to the Purepecha culture. Because of the beauty, iconography and complex technology of these ceramics, it is important to understand the diverse decoration processes. This paper presents research results about the rediscovering experimentation of the negative technique at the Hernández Cano...
Refining The Hermitage Chronologies (2018)
Previous chronologies of site occupations at The Hermitage were based largely on historical documentation combined with observed architectural changes across the landscape. Here we use correspondence analysis of ceramic ware-type frequencies to corroborate and refine earlier chronologies developed by Smith and McKee. DAACS data from ten domestic sites of slavery at the plantation, with occupations spanning from the first decade of the nineteenth century to the 1920’s, allow us to develop...
The Reflection of Patterned Behavior in Iroquois Pottery (1972)
This study sought ceramic reflection of the formation of the League of the Iroquois. This was not found, but it is suggested that the patterning observed reflects female intertribal trade.
Reher Bakery Historic Archaeological Site, Kingston, NY
This project is based on Phase III data retrieval excavations and research conducted by Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc. on the late 19th- and early 20th-century Reher Bakery site, a Jewish-American kosher and bakery within the National Register-listed Rondout-West Strand historic district. Archaeologists discovered several features, including a very large brick cistern, possibly used in the production of sarsaparilla or elsewhere in the bakery. Project resources include the Phase III...

Research Tools for Identifying and Analyzing British Transferware (2018)
At the home of President James Madison in Orange, Virginia, the rich archaeological deposits of transfer-printed ceramics provide valuable information about the presidential family, their many guests, and the enslaved community that lived and worked there. Due to the distinctive patterns, evolving styles, vessel forms, colors, and often limited production periods of the various makers, important historical clues can be gleaned from British transferware. In addition to referencing archival...

Results of a new method for characterizing Casas Grandes polychromes (2017)
Through time, the analyses of archaeological ceramics have produced a diverse number of characterization techniques. These various techniques have allowed us to create multiple understandings of style, production, and exchange patterns, building a formidable toolkit that is able to speak to many aspects of human behavior. However, though our standard set of techniques is imposing and productive, they may not automatically produce data sets that naturally lead to concrete patterns and natural...
Results of Petrographic Analysis of Polychromes across the Casas Grandes World (2015)
This research, part of my dissertation, focuses on the mineralogical variability of Casas Grandes polychromes. Whereas past studies have suggested that some Casas Grandes polychrome types are more common in some geographic areas than others (see Brand 1935; De Atley 1980; Findlow and DeAtley 1982; Kelley et al. 1999; Larkin et al. 2004 for more complete discussions), these studies have been challenged as they assume polychromes recovered at sites are made locally, rather than imported (Douglas...
Results of Petrographic and NAA of Ramos and Babicora Polychromes from Across the Casas Grandes Region (2016)
Whereas past studies have suggested that some Casas Grandes polychrome types are more common in some geographic areas than others (see Brand 1935; De Atley 1980; Findlow and DeAtley 1982; Kelley et al. 1999; Larkin et al. 2004 for more complete discussions), these studies have been challenged as they assume polychromes recovered are made locally, rather than imported from other sites (Douglas 1995; Minnis 1984, 1989). As a result, recent studies refocus on polychrome production (Carpenter 2002,...
Rethinking Ceramics as Evidence of Regional Interaction (2016)
In Central America, recent research crosses national boundaries that once divided archaeological analyses, including by identifying historically related ceramics with regionalized names. This paper argues for using contemporary concepts that do not tie us to the culture historical approach, with its equivalences of a people, a material culture, a language, and an identity, to fully understand emerging data. Culture history worked as a preliminary step to clarify relations in areas like...
Revised Drying Conditions in Rehydroxylation (RHX) Technique for Dating Ceramic Artifacts (2015)
The Fired Clay Ceramic Rehydroxylation Dating (RHX) technique shows potential for establishing date of manufacture for archaeological ceramics, however for certain samples, such as those recovered at Umbro Greek and Sant’ Ancieto sites, the calculated ages were outside of the expected range by many thousand years. The observation of this over-shooting issue suggested that either the non-refractory mass (Mnrc) or some strongly bonded physical water were left during the ordinary drying process at...
Revisiting the pre Moche - Moche transition on the El Brujo geological terrace: A spatially significant ceramic analysis (2016)
Revisiting the pre-Moche - Moche transition on the El Brujo geological terrace; A spatially significant ceramic analysis. Understanding the social relationships represented by Salinar, Gallinazo, and early Moche ceramics remains one of the important, disputed issues in archaeology on the north coast of Peru. All three ceramic styles are present in material collected during excavations of architectural nuclei around the El Brujo geologic terrace in the Chicama valley over the last 25 years. Here...
Revisiting the Preclassic Ceramic Sequence of the Greater Kaminaljuyu Zone (2015)
In a recent work, Inomata and colleagues present a revised chronology of Kaminaljuyu during the Preclassic period which cross-dates other cultural sequences in southeastern Mesoamerica. This paper provides further ceramic data including a re-evaluation of the various typological sequences already established in the literature and presenting a modal sequence of vessel shape, surface treatment, and decoration based on ceramic analysis of collections from the most important sites in the greater...
