This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The period in American history from 1924 to the 1940s represents a pivotal time for transcontinental aviation, making it possible for mail to travel from New York City to San Francisco in 30 hours. Transcontinental aviation is a feat that had not been possible prior to the establishment of a system of lighted beacons and concrete navigational arrows. The...

The Buffalo Lake Métis Wintering Site (FdPe-1), located in central Alberta, Canada, presents one of the most extensively studied examples of overwintering practices amongst the Fur Trade-era Métis. With historical records accounting for approximately four hundred cabins being present at the site in 1876, this site has the potential to have been the largest settlement west of the Red River at the time of its occupation. However, surficial evidence of these cabins is now scarce as a result of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Spring Lake forms the headwaters of the San Marcos River. The area surrounding the lake has hosted prehistoric peoples since the Paleoindian era and remains a place of cultural reverence for contemporary Indigenous communities. In the early 20th century, an amusement park, hotel, and golf course were built around the lake which brought thousands of patrons...

This is an abstract from the "Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2008 an eroding midden along Iceland’s western coast was discovered to be part of a large 15th century commercial fishing station - the first of its kind to be found in Iceland. The site was clearly endangered by coastal erosion and with support from the National Science Foundation rescue excavations were carried out over...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of the Eastern Jemez Mountain Range and the Pajarito Plateau: Interagency Collaboration for Management of Cultural Landscapes" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This poster outlines a re-examination of historic Anchor Ranch on the Pajarito Plateau in north-central New Mexico. Anchor Ranch was developed as a modern, working cattle ranch on the western end of the Pajarito Plateau during the early twentieth...

Revitalization movements have been a topic of particular interest to anthropologists concerned with culture contact and colonialism. As a cultural practice that is present in many historical periods, it stands to reason that revitalization was undertaken in the deep past as well. Archaeology has proven useful in exploring the aftermath of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 from a Native American perspective in the American Southwest, and recently, scholars have begun to look for potential revitalization...

Seven years ago the National Park Service rehabilitated several of the oldest remaining buildings at Point San Jose (now Fort Mason) in San Francisco. On October 25, 2010, while monitoring lead remediation efforts around the former Army hospital (1863-1903), archaeologists discovered a pit containing hospital waste which included the commingled human remains of multiple individuals. Diagnostic bottles recovered from the feature support a deposit date of between 1860 and 1890. Historic research...

Powerful messages concerning ideal gender roles feature prominently, if latently, in Washington biographies. Most contemporary narratives suggest that George succeeded despite the "selfish" efforts of his widowed mother. Archaeological investigations at Washington’s childhood home underscore the dissonance between the material culture of his youth and popular stories about his upbringing. This site was wrested from strip mall development thanks to the persistent efforts of preservationists....

This is an abstract from the "Building Bridges: Papers in Honor of Teresita Majewski" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The historic town-site of Agate Bay, on the north shore of Lake Superior in present-day Two Harbors, was developed in the 1880s in conjunction with and as a consequence of the opening of Minnesota’s first (Vermilion) Iron Range. Popular historic accounts claim that Agate Bay was a rough-and-tumble frontier settlement that became...

This is an abstract from the "Fulfilling a Nation’s Promise: The Search, Recovery, and Accounting Efforts of DPAA and Its Partners" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Hazardous and difficult-to-navigate terrain often impedes investigation and recovery of missing individuals in forensic archaeological contexts. Here we discuss novel solutions at one such site, a 1,750 m high sheer limestone cliff in Southeast Asia. In addition to the difficult terrain,...

The Wolf Creek Site (36BT82) in Slippery Rock, PA was last excavated in the early 1990s as part of Slippery Rock University’s (SRU) Field School Program in Archaeology. In this poster, current SRU students evaluate the hypothesis that the site was an historic Kuskuski indigenous camp through a re-analysis of existing collections and additional research at the site.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Twenty-five years of excavation at Fort St. Joseph, an eighteenth-century mission, garrison, and trading post, have uncovered a large variety of artifacts, including hundreds of ceramic sherds. These ceramic pieces can provide valuable information about individuals living at the post including their socioeconomic status and access to materials. Information...

This is an abstract from the "Current Perspectives on Historical and Contemporary Archaeology of the Southern Cone" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. En el siglo XIX aparecen referencias escritas sobre Pisagua Viejo y la existencia de una aldea con iglesia cristiana en plena costa desértica entre Arica e Iquique, la que se describe como “Antiguo puerto donde se hizo el primer embarque de salitre en 1836”. Sin embargo, hacia 1880, el sitio constituía...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Twenty years ago, cultural resource managers produced a multiple-property evaluation of extant Manhattan Project properties at Los Alamos National Laboratory titled “Sentinels of the Atomic Dawn.” “Sentinels” recorded 49 standing buildings and two archaeological sites. Since that initial evaluation, 29 of the 49 buildings have been demolished and the two...

Previous investigations (Cooper and Smith 2007, Smith and Cooper 2011) of colonoware from 33 sites occupied by enslaved peoples in South Carolina and Virginia have revealed significant inter-regional variation in vessel abundance over time. Additionally, analyses of attributes such as soot residue and vessel thickness identified intra-regional homogeneity and heterogeneity in use and manufacture. This study tests whether these trends continue when the dataset is expanded to include additional...

In recent years, industrial archaeology has come to be more associated with historical archaeology when it comes to creating perspectives from which to analyze the evidence of economic industries of all sorts. Farm sites and others that make up rural economic activities—mills, mines, etc.—are all sites of industry, and they should be studied together for a larger view of these industries from different economic and social scales, particularly in the regional sense. In southern Sweden from the...

En esta presentación se exponen los aspectos fundamentales de la vida y obra del arqueólogo peruano Luis Lumbreras desde sus vivencias en su natal Ayacucho y la trascendencia de su formación personal y académica en la configuración de la consolidación de la tradición científica de la arqueología en el Perú, desde una perspectiva ofrecida por él mismo a partir de una serie de conversaciones entre Lumbreras y los autores, apelando a la memoria y la tradición oral como fuente histórica en la...
