This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this first season of excavations by the Corral Redondo project in southern Peru, a database was needed to capture excavation, conservation, and survey data in the field and later respond to the reporting standards set by the Peruvian government. The Online Cultural and Historical Research Environment (OCHRE) proved to be a powerful tool for this data...

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community-Based Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The CCC and other federally sponsored work programs provided needed employment during the Great Depression and have been examined by scholars in a range of fields. Archaeologists have examined CCC projects as examples of early scientific excavations that trained many American archaeologists, setting the stage for Cultural Resource Management...

The material turn in archaeology – and in humanities in general – has led to a new interest in the non-verbal and non-signifying aspects of the material world. Instead of discussing meaning of objects, issues such as longterm durance and agency of objects have come into focus. Consequently, many archaeologists have turned away from the textual metaphor to a recognition of the otherness of materiality. However, this material turn has above all taken place in a dialogue with modern ruins and...

The archaeological remains of forts, outposts, settlements, extraction sites, and other activity areas established during European colonial ventures in North America span several hundred years and thousands of kilometers. The intricacies and interconnectedness of these sites are not easy to quantify or describe within the traditional limits of archaeological data management. The Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA) can reveal colonial sites and their neighborhoods of effect on a...

Drawing on recent excavation and oral history data from the site of Rancho Kiuic, this paper will compare information related to two chapels located within the community. Formerly known as San Sebastián, the community functioned from the late Colonial to National periods as a ranching operation occupied by several generations of Maya-speaking landowners and laborers. Though the two chapels (Capillas I and II) share a number of structural and temporal characteristics, their respective locations,...

This paper explores the complex and diverse connections between people, places and material culture in the past through a case study from Queensland, Australia. Established in c.1860 as part of the development of pastoral and mining industries in Central Queensland, today the former thriving port settlement of St Lawrence is a small, little-known town. Historical, material and spatial evidence from distinct but interconnected archaeological sites within the settlement are integrated to explore...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the summer of 2018, field school students from the University of New Mexico excavated historical ovens likely associated with the 19th century Spanish village of Tejón. During the course of the excavations, the field school undertook an experiment to determine the purpose of the historical ovens. The experiment was unable to be completed at that time, but...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The former Danish West Indies are one of the scant examples of Scandinavian colonialism and the only example of Danish colonialism in the Americas. Although considered latecomers to the region, the Danes maintained almost continuous control of their West Indies from their initial settlement until the islands were sold to the United States in 1917. This...

The First Baptist Church of Philadelphia was faced with something all churches confronted – the death of their parishioners. Their burying ground along with their church would evolve and change in both size and location over time. By mid-eighteenth century Lagrange Cemetery was in full use. Who occupied the First Baptist’s Lagrange Cemetery in early Philadelphia? Who were the notable and not so notable residents buried side by side? In exploring the history of over one hundred years of its...

Traditional studies of health and stress in archaeological samples use several categories of skeletal alterations: linear enamel hypoplasias (LEH), adult stature, scars of anemia, dental disease, osteoarthritis, trauma, and infection. Skeletal remains from a late 19th century military hospital at Point San Jose (PSJ), San Francisco, represent a commingled assemblage, complicating paleopathological observations on the bones. Unlike bony changes, dental pathologies are often studied by individual...

Paleopathology encompasses the understanding of disease processes that affect skeletal remains as well as the timeframe and context in which they occur. Although most such studies focus on changes observed at an individual level, the Point San Jose assemblage provides a challenging perspective on paleopathology because it consists of separate skeletal elements lacking association with whole individuals. Consequently, our focus is on the types of bony changes seen rather than specific diagnoses...

The objective of my Master’s thesis was to formulate a history of the Carroll Cabin and farm, a historic log house located in Fayette County, Pennsylvania on Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) land. My research focused on how archaeological and historical records could be used to answer questions about the farm's extant home and the property's history. In Pennsylvania and other states (and at the federal level) multi-use public land managers are responsible for similar...

This is an abstract from the "Changes in the Land: Archaeological Data from the Northeast" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent excavations of the mid-eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century Anthony Farmstead in the town of Somerset, southeastern Massachusetts, yielded thousands of period artifacts, including numerous objects reflecting the patriotism and political affiliations of its occupants and the region as a whole. Several members of the...

In 1568, 1595 and 1606 Spanish expeditions out of Peru explored the Solomon Islands (S.W. Pacific) with the intention of establishing colonies. The motivations for these voyages were an uneasy amalgam of ambitions for Imperial and familial advancement, attempts to find the gold mines of Ophir, and religious fervor for converting indigenous populations. Despite repeated historical retelling, little attention has been paid to the structures of the cross-cultural encounters described in the...

Located in the Georgetown area of Washington, DC, the Halcyon House is one of the only archaeological sites with a documented queer inhabitant. Albert Adsit Clemons, who was purportedly a relation of Mark Twain, lived on the property with a male carpenter, and together the two filled the house with oddities and antiques. In this paper, I will analyze the way that Clemons performed a queer aesthetic through his household décor and personal adornments. Although the site was excavated in 1985, the...

This is an abstract from the "Lost in Transition: Social and Political Changes in the Central Southern Andes from the Late Prehispanic to the Early Colonial Periods" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper assesses the problem of materially distinguishing between the Andean Late Horizon Inka Empire (ca. 1450-1532 CE) and ensuing Spanish Colonial Period (1532-1824 CE) in contexts that lack overtly colonial artefacts. The arrival of Spanish...

This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper focuses on the everyday lives of the Islanders on Great Blasket in County Kerry, Ireland. Particular attention is paid to the juxtaposition of economic class, gender, and improvisation during the Famine and Post-Famine periods. The Islanders experienced a hard life while enduring extreme poverty, repression, and environmental dangers. This paper...
