The Intensification of Indigenous Sealing in Southeast Alaska: A 19th Century Camp Complex at Yakutat Bay (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Aron Crowell.

Late 19th century harbor seal hunting among the glacial ice floes at the head of Yakutat Bay attracted hundreds of Tlingit, Eyak, and Tsimshian participants who harvested thousands of seals, an annual congregation of indigenous peoples that exceeded any other in southeast Alaska. The extraordinary scale of this communal, clan-mediated enterprise by the 1870s derived in part from the abundance of seals at Yakutat and subsistence demand (especially for seal oil) but appears to have been increased...

Interpreting the Fifty-Year Rule: How A Simple Phrase Leads to a Complex Problem (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only David Yoder.

For over 40 years some archaeologists have labored under a distorted interpretation of the fifty-year rule in which anything over 50 years of age becomes ‘archaeological’ and therefore must be recorded and evaluated for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places. A re-examining of federal law shows that this is a mistaken interpretation. Data from the Intermountain Antiquities Computer System indicates that if this practice continues the number of featureless historical sites...


Interpreting ‘Irishness’ in the Archaeological Record: A Northern Ireland Perspective (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Tracey.

The northern Irish town of Carrickfergus, in the seventeenth century, was a thriving settlement; home to a mixed population of English and Scottish settlers, in addition to a local Gaelic-Irish population. As such, the excavated material evidence is particularly suited to considerations of how we interpret, and eventually ascribe, identity in the archaeological record. Cultural identity, and expressions of such identity – be that Irishness, Britishness, or Ulster Scottishness – lie at the heart...


An Intimate Bond: New Evidence for Human-Pig Relationships in Chinese Diaspora Communities (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jiajing Wang. Laura Ng.

This is an abstract from the "Multispecies Frameworks in Archaeological Interpretation: Human-Nonhuman Interactions in the Past, Part II" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pigs and humans have formed a mutualistic and symbiotic relationship since antiquity. In North America, large quantities of pig bones have been recovered from Chinese diaspora sites, indicating the importance of pigs to Chinese immigrant foodways. By analyzing pig dental calculus...

Investigating the Archaeology of Shifting Community Values at Chrisholm Farmstead (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Theresa Fish.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout the 19th century, Amish and Mennonite settlers fleeing persecution settled in the United States. In this study, I focus on families who settled in what is now Butler County, Ohio. For these settlers, there is a robust historic record telling a story of the community shifting from conservative Amish to more liberal Mennonites. I investigate to what...

Irish Immigration and Urban Transformation in a Boston City Neighborhood (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Webster.

When working class European immigrants first arrived on American shores, they had a profound effect on American cities. Throughout the nineteenth century, the processes of industrialization coupled with Boston’s position as a shipping hub created an influx of low-income laborers in need of housing. The Clough House, a colonial home built around 1715, functioned as a single-family residence for a century before being converted into a tenement for the working class. This poster explores the impact...


Irish Independence in the Crapper? Irish Republican Army Buttons in San Francisco (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kari Lentz.

This paper examines two Irish Rublician Army buttons discovered in a privy associated with a late 19th century household in San Francisco in order to elucidate how Irish immigrants became Irish Americans on the West Coast. Archaeologits and historians have studied the Irish Diaspora, this they have largely focused on the Northeast. While the Irish Republican Army is familiar to contemporary audiences, many people are unaware of the organization’s 19th century roots in the United States. The...


"Irishness" and Tea Consumption: The Materiality of Ethnicity (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexander Anthony.

Excavations at the McHugh Site (47WP294), a mid-to-late Nineteenth Century homestead in Wisconsin, resulted in the recovery of a large material culture assemblage. Historical documents reveal the site’s occupants to have been pre-famine Irish emigrants who settled in Ohio before moving to Wisconsin in 1850. However, analyses of the material culture have thus far failed to uncover evidence of an Irish identity distinct from an American identity. This paper presents results of an analysis of the...


Irreducible Reducción: Archaeological Microhistory at Mawchu Llacta, a Planned Colonial Town in Highland Peru (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven A. Wernke.

The Reducción General de Indios (General Resettlement of Indians) in the Viceroyalty of Peru brought about one of the largest mass resettlement programs ever enacted by a colonial power, forcibly displacing some 1.5 million native Andeans to compact towns (reducciones) built around plazas and churches. As a colonial utopic project, the Reducción was to remake the Andean world in the ideal self-image of Spanish civic and religious community. As materialized manifestations in the Andean...


It's a Date: A Comparison of Pipe Stem and Ceramics Relative Dating at Christiansted National Historic Site (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Schumacher.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Dating techniques, both relative and absolute, are key members of the archaeological toolkit. They serve to chronologically situate the remnants of past peoples, material or otherwise, in the overarching narrative of a place or region. However, not all methods of dating are created equal, and the utility of a particular method for clarifying the historical and...

The Jim Rock Historic Can Collection Online Database at Southern Oregon University, Ashland (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kyle Crebbin. Chelsea Rose. Shana Sandor.
