This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Morazán Archaeological Inventory Project documented the colonial church of Osicala in 2015. Osicala was the northernmost Catholic parish in eastern El Salvador during the colonial period, and included 11 towns and a wide swath of territory extending north to Honduras.

El surgimiento del Centro Regional de Xochitecatl-Cacaxtla tiene sus orígenes en los primeros asentamientos aldeanos del Valle de Tlaxcala, la elección del lugar donde se construyó se debe a la ubicación estratégica entre los ejes de los volcanes que rematan el valle reconstruyendo un paisaje sagrado y también por el acceso y control de las rutas de intercambio con la cuenca de México, el Valle de Morelos y el Golfo y Oaxaca. Su área de interacción y control fue cambiando en el Transcurso del...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since first appearing on sixteenth century Spanish exploration maps, Texas’s 5,405.8 km coastline was famous for difficult navigation. The coast’s low-lying, monotonous nature, shallow lagoons, changing river mouths, and shifting sandbars made it treacherous, especially for deep drafted vessels. Spain’s focus on internal infrastructure and mercantilism...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in South Asia" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper explores the question of labor in the study of crafted objects from archaeological contexts. Working with an assemblage of excavated ceramics from a Medieval (12th-14th century CE) settlement at Maski (northern Karnataka), it problematizes the categories proposed by the political-economy oriented framework of “craft production...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many have argued that the hacienda of colonial Mexico represents the emergence of commercial enterprise through privately owned landed estates. However, these estates were not strictly economic units, but comprised a diverse social and political institution engaged in a complex interplay with the broader cultural landscape, transforming local environments...

A shipwreck recently discovered in Lake Oneida, NY, and recorded by a team of professional and amateur archaeologists, appears to be the remains of an early 19th-century Durham boat. Durham boats plied the inland waters of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic during the 18th and 19th centuries offering an efficient means to transport bulk cargoes during the pre-canal era. While no archaeological example of a Durham boat has been previously identified, this shipwreck closely matches all available...

This is an abstract from the "Vicksburg Is the Key: Recent Archaeological Investigations and New Perspectives from the Gibraltar of the South" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Created in 1866, Vicksburg National Cemetery is perhaps most famous as being the final resting place for the 17,000 Union soldiers who participated in the Civil War. The importance of the cemetery, however, extends far beyond than its designated period of historical...

This paper will discuss the most recent excavations in the Genizaro Pueblo de Abiquiu, NM (est. 1754). Abiquiu, as one of the oldest and most successful Genizaro land grants, is a key area for better understanding the history and trajectory of Indo-Hispanic settlements in Northern New Mexico. Three distinct areas within the historical boundary of the land grant were excavated, representing domestic defensive, and agricultural contexts. The paper will go over the excavations, ground-truthing GPR...

This is an abstract from the "Ceramics and Archaeological Sciences 2024" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2015, an archaeological rescue program was carried out in Mani, Yucatán, related to improvements in the main square with the aim of designating Mani as a “magical town.” The excavations produced 568 fragments of the “idols” destroyed during the so-called auto de fe organized by Diego de Landa in Mani (1562), punishing the Maya population for...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Landscapes tell stories. They contain evidence of past cultural and environmental change and the relationships between the two. Dendroarchaeology—the use of tree-ring data from past human activities—is uniquely positioned to provide the fine-grained temporal resolution necessary for understanding these relationships. This paper examines 150 years of...

This is an abstract from the "Place-Making in Indigenous Mesoamerican Communities Past and Present" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, I examine the postcolonial social transformations of Yucatec-speaking communities located southwest of Valladolid, Yucatán, occasioned by the Caste War (1847–1901), a violent rebellion and revitalization movement intricately related to processes of decolonization following Independence. How did Native...

During the last quarter of the 19th century, Mexico experienced a period of rapid social and economic modernization under the leadership of dictator Porfirio Diaz. Central to this was the dismantling of community-held lands, a practice that was intended to undermine the social aspects of the agrarian/indigenous lifestyle. The nineteenth century architects of Mexico’s progress believed that by dismantling communal villages lands and thus communal indigenous communities, they were moving Mexico’s...

This is an abstract from the "Afro-Latin American Landscapes" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Francisca Angola, a creole woman of the seventeenth century, was born in one of the *palenques (maroon settlements) of the north coast of Colombia. Her mother, Lucia, and her father, Agustin, both identified as Angolas, ran away from Cartagena at the beginning of the same century. At the probable age of 70, Francisca and some of her descendants were caught...

The great silver mining centers of Potosí, Porco, and Oruro in the Bolivian highlands have long formed an important focus for understanding the Spanish colonial world, both for the colonial imagination and for the contemporary historian. In comparison with the contexts of production and exchange based around these mining centers, however, their wider contexts of mobility and logistics within the altiplano and the valleys leading west to the Pacific coast have been comparatively...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Much of the knowledge on Teotihuacan and its surroundings has been produced almost exclusively through archaeology as the main discipline. These archaeological studies have focused mainly on Teotihuacan during the Classic period. However, it must be considered that the population of the Teotihuacan Valley did not begin and end with the classical city of...

This is an abstract from the "Historical Archaeologies of the American Southwest, 1800 to Today" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Comparison of archival and archaeological data from contract investigations of Hispanic residences and commercial loci provides an opportunity to investigate multiple strategies for economic survival in the Phoenix Basin. Late nineteenth century agricultural and urban settings are examined from Tempe and Phoenix to...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Robert Carter began construction of historic Christ Church (Irvington, Virginia) in 1730. Much of the original church still remains to this day, with almost all of the original stone floor pavers still intact. There is a lack of natural stone in the surrounding area and historical documentation suggests that the stone used in Christ Church may have been reused...
