This is a poster submission presented at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A lot has been said about the globalization and consumption of Portuguese redwares and the relation in the daily life of different people around the world in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. However, in spite of these approaches the basic definition of what was made in Portugal, the morphological specifications, and their meanings are still in development. This poster will focus on a...
Post-Emancipation Ceramics and Housing in the British Caribbean: A Case Study from St. Kitts’ Southeast Peninsula (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Emancipation brought many changes to the lives of the formerly enslaved in the British Caribbean. On the British Caribbean island of St. Christopher (St. Kitts), true emancipation came in 1838 following a 4-year apprenticeship period, which was really enslavement in just another name. Freedom meant Kittitians often could choose where they lived, the house...
The Post-Medieval Settlements and Road Network of the Mani Peninsula, Greece (2016)
In the past 50 years, a great deal of archaeological research in Mani has focused on its Byzantine churches and the enigmatic abandoned settlements that surround them. Far less has been written about the centuries following the collapse of the Byzantine Empire (i.e., the post-Medieval period), when the Ottoman Empire took control. This paper gives a brief overview of the most important sources of historical information about the post-Medieval settlements in Mani. A reassessment of a list dated...
Postclassic Communities and Colonial Reconfigurations in the Eastern Lower Papaloapan Basin, Veracruz, Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Previous investigations in the region known as the Eastern Lower Papaloapan Basin, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, have proposed the existence of a "Postclassic Paradox" in which Late Postclassic prehispanic communities identified in 16th century historic documents cannot be identified archaeologically. In this poster, I expand on this idea and propose that...

Power as Nurture: The Inkas and Their Tiwanaku Ancestors (2018)
Religion bonded Andean societies across centuries (Moseley 1992; Kolata 1995) and archaeologists request greater focus on religious ideologies to evaluate the Andean past (Kolata 2000; Hastorf 2007)—gaping silence in the scholarship surrounds the so-called "female, spiritual" side of society. From this hurin moiety (Rostworowski 2007; Silverblatt 1987), particulars of an overarching hegemonic strategy of power-as-nurture emerged among the Inkas (and with different details among their Tiwanaku...
Powhatan’s Pearls: Power, Prestige, Profit, and Identity in Coastal Virginia during the Late Woodland and Contact Periods (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Deep History, Colonial Narratives, and Decolonization in the Native Chesapeake" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While copper and shell beads have been focal topics within the region, as items of adornment and power during later prehistory, a review of early historic accounts indicates that freshwater pearls may have been the most valued of all such commodities, during both life and death. Obtained locally, from the...
Predatory Polities: Viking Raiding Fleets in Ninth-Century Europe (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Beyond “Barbarians”: Dimensions of Military Organization at the Bleeding Edge of the Premodern State" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Viking Age was a time of upheaval and disruption across the northern world. Beginning in the late eighth century CE, historical documents attest to a surge of viking raiding into western Europe. By the mid-ninth century, predatory raiding fleets are recorded as operating across the...
Prehistoric Rock Art and Historic "Graffiti": Petroglyphs at a Multicomponent Site in Eastern New Mexico (2017)
Recent field investigations at Los Ojitos, a multicomponent site in the Middle Pecos River Valley, have focused on refining the site chronology and documenting the land-use practices of Hispanic homesteaders who settled this area in the late nineteenth century. Like earlier visitors to this site, the Hispanic settlers were attracted to the clean water provided by several little springs ("ojitos") that empty into the river. Survey of one of these spring-fed drainages identified at least 45...
A Preliminary Analysis of Calluna Hill (CT 59-73), an early 17th-century Pequot Village (2016)
This paper describes the results of four seasons of field research and laboratory analyses at Calluna Hill (CT 59-73), a small Pequot village burned during the English retreat from the battle at Mystic Fort, part of the 1630s Pequot War. The project uses environmental, spatial, and artifactual data from the site to undertake a study of culture change in southern New England’s contact period in order to better understand the role of intercultural exchange in colonial settings at the domestic...

Preliminary Results from Newport Site (36IN188) (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Newport village was founded in circa 1787 to facilitate movement of people and goods from Pennsylvania’s early road system to riverine highways. The town was largely abandoned by 1840, but contained several taverns, blacksmith shops, and infrastructure for loading boats on, and crossing over, the adjacent Conemaugh River. At its height approximately 30...
Preliminary Results of Material Culture from the Historic First Baptist Church Cemetery, Philadelphia (ca. 1700–1860) and Analytical Problems Arising from Stressed Excavations and the Lack of Formal Legal Oversight (2018)
The material culture found in association with the skeletal remains recovered from the historic First Baptist Church of Philadelphia cemetery, which was in use from 1700-1860, provides a valuable glimpse into colonial and post-colonial burial practices in one of early America’s most important cities. The interior material culture in the form of burial goods is most often minimalistic with few exceptions while the exterior material culture (i.e. coffin hardware) assists in relative dates while...

In addition, TRC archaeologists were tasked...
A Prelude to Displacement: An Archaeological Reconstruction of Community History at San Pablo and Barrio del Hoyo in Tempe, Arizona (2018)
Recent excavations on the Arizona State University Tempe campus provide a glimpse into the early 20th-century Mexican-American neighborhoods of San Pablo and Barrio del Hoyo. Located next to the original campus grounds, San Pablo and Barrio del Hoyo were residential and commercial hubs of early Tempe. After World War II, urban development and renewal efforts by the university and land developers targeted these two neighborhoods for campus expansion and displaced their residents, quickly...

Preservation of Cultural Heritage at the Alamo: A Collaboration between Archaeology and Conservation (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology and conservation might appear to be contradictory disciplines. Archaeological methods are inherently destructive, and conservation strives to prevent loss. However, at some historic sites archaeology and conservation collaborate as integral partners to preserve the physical structures and cultural heritage, as well as recovering new data...
Preserving the Faith: Archaeological Investigations at Mission San Lorenzo (41RE1), Camp Wood, Texas (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Franciscan mission of San Lorenzo, established in 1762, survived for 6 years as an unsanctioned mission before closing its doors in 1768. Since its abandonment, the site has suffered from both the ravages of time and human interference. Today, the mission is located in the small community of Camp Wood, Texas where it has long been an important part of...

The schooner Equator was originally built in 1888 in California by the renowned shipwright Matthew Turner and sailed in the South Pacific by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. After the southern journeys, the ship went through multiple redesigns for different purposes in the west American coast. These events made the ship a unique...
The Presidio San Carlos Archaeological Project: Preliminary Results (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Camino Real was a cultural, political, and economical link between the Viceroy of Mexico and the northern communities of the New Spain, mostly mining centers. But these new territories were not only harsh geographically but dangerous by the constant raids by the local communities of American Indians, and pressure from foreign nations like England, France...
The Privilege of Memory: Segregation within a Plural Long Island Cemetery (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The legacy of memory, and who is entitled to it, is an important conversation within post-Contact archaeology. This research examines the local narrative of segregation within Amityville Cemetery, located in the demographically separated Amityville, New York. While white individuals predominately live in the Village of Amityville, the hamlet of North...
Provisioning Antigua and Beyond: How Herding and Farming Transformed Barbuda, West Indies (2016)
The island of Barbuda was farmed by English settlers from the 1660s onwards. The Codrington family of England held the lease to the island from the 1680s-1870, and they introduced a variety of plant and animal species, some of which continue to thrive on the island. Sugar cane was never grown on this dry, low lying island and instead, lime and charcoal were produced along with other subsistence crops for export. Herding became an important part of the economy and, as a result, water management...
