Archaeology and Abelism : Using Disability Scholarship to Rethink Archaeological Fieldwork (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexandria T Mitchem.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Where Accessibility and Inclusion Meet: Archaeology in the Age of Covid and Beyond" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Even prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic, archaeological fieldwork presented many barriers to access, including financial, institutional, and physical. In this paper I focus on the inherently ableist nature of archaeological fieldwork, which is caused and compounded by the mythology of the rugged...


The archaeology of conflict damaged sites: Hosn Niha in the Biqaʾ Valley, Lebanon. (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Paul Newson. Ruth Young.

When faced with the destruction of archaeological sites through conflict, and the accompanying loss of knowledge, what can archaeologists do? Archaeologists, politicians, and many others recognise that damage to heritage is irreversible and has very serious, lasting consequences. The impact of war on archaeological sites is rightly an area of great significance and concern to archaeologists and other heritage professionals, and is increasingly an area of research and debate, both within and...


Archaeology, A Bone to Pick: Pitfalls of a Destructive Science (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Peterson.

Archaeology, as a science, has a long history, not all of which has been ideal. Archaeologists in one generation are routinely dismayed with the work of previous generations of archaeologists. Sometimes this less than satisfactory work is due to a lack of knowledge at the time, as we learn more with each new technological advancement, and with each new generation of archaeologists. However, more often than we would like, these flaws in past archaeological work are due to apathy or negligence. In...


The duality of female archetypes in facilitating fieldwork: case studies in Arizona and Jordan (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer Lewis.

Polarizing female stereotypes are nothing new: Madonna/whore, “career woman”/ “stay at home mum,” “girly/tomboy”, and others Though modern feminist movements have opened many doors to removing the limitations applied to these stereotypes, women may still find themselves assuming these roles in order to appear more familiar, less threatening, and more trustworthy in order to facilitate their field work. My research in both Arizona and Jordan requires that I assume different female roles: demure...


Edges of Teamwork in Archaeology:Network Approaches to Excavation Histories (2016)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Allison Mickel.

Network science has begun to transform how we view systems of people and objects in the archaeological past, but also provides new insight into how archaeologists collaborate to create the archaeological record. Using two longterm excavations as case studies-- Catalhoyuk in Turkey and the Temple of the Winged Lions in Petra, Jordan-- I demonstrate how network approaches help to visualize and measure teamwork on these archaeological sites. I identify how a person's position in formal site...


Equity, Access, and the Privilege of “Best Practice” in Archaeological Fieldwork (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Thompson. Benjamin Davies.

This is an abstract from the "Developing Paleolithic Excavation Methods for the Twenty-First Century" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Technological advances in digital imagery, field recording, and mapping have transformed the ability of archaeologists to rapidly collect, store, and analyze large quantities of high-resolution field data. In spite of steadily lowering prices and broader consumer accessibility over the years, the costs associated...


First Aid in the Field: Creating a Conservation Protocol for the Recovery of Brunswick Town Artifacts (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brandon J Eckert.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since 2015, East Carolina University has conducted its summer field school in archaeology at the 18th century settlement site of Brunswick Town in North Carolina’s Cape Fear region. After multiple field seasons, thousands of artifacts have been recovered. Following their retrieval in the field, many of these artifacts have deteriorated significantly as a result of improper storage...


Funding "The Human Story" at National Geographic (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Thornton.

For over a century, the National Geographic Society has provided field research grants to archaeologists and anthropologists from around the world, and then told their story through our media. Over the past few years, National Geographic has gone through a tumultuous period of financial instability and schizophrenia between the non-profit and for-profit arms. The new joint venture created with 21st Century Fox in the Fall of 2015 created a fully non-profit National Geographic Society with a...

A Journey Without Maps: Following the path of the archaeological genealogy of Mary Beaudry (2022)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Luke Pecoraro.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Historical Archaeology with Canon on the Side, Please”: In Honor of Mary C. Beaudry (1950-2020)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The scope and nature of Mary Beaudry’s contextual approach towards the archaeology of households is a significant legacy of her contribution to historical archaeology both in the United States and abroad. As a student and friend of Mary’s, overtime I came to recognize that the...


Out in the Field? Queer Archaeologists, Queer Archaeology, and CRM (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Casey Campetti.

A perennial critique of cultural resources management (CRM) has been its perceived overemphasis on field methods and its dissociation from advancements in archaeological theory, particularly the integration of gendered archaeologies and feminist perspectives. Over the past two decades CRM has made considerable gains toward inclusivity of theory - however, the climate for queer practitioners in CRM working as field technicians, managers, and principal investigators does not readily reflect these...


Pandemic Fieldwork: Doing Fieldwork During a Pandemic (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew J Robinson.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Pandemic Fieldwork: Doing Fieldwork During a Pandemic" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The year began with a successful conference in Boston, but quickly turned as the globe was thrown into the grips of a pandemic by March. As universities, cities, states, and countries began to close and lock down, so did many field schools and excavations. However, not all archaeology has stopped. Construction projects...

Ritual and Feasting in the Field: The Role of Theoretically Informed Practice In Creating Resilience within the Archaeological Field Crew (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alison Rautman.

Katherine Spielmann has contributed to the scholarly literature on ritual and feasting, the archaeology of sustainable and resilient societies, and long-term economic and social changes in archaeological record of the Salinas region in central New Mexico. Less well known, however, are her long-term contributions to the performance dimensions of these models. In fact, her theoretically informed archaeological practices, implemented in the context of the undergraduate field school, illustrate the...

Sampling Vein Quartz: An Adapted Fieldwork Protocol Combining Structural Geology and Archaeology (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Océane Spinelli Sanchez. Laurine Travers. Alain Chauvet. Michel Brenet. Anne Delagnes.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Field sampling of lithic raw materials, whose protocol is already well developed for rocks such as obsidian and flint, is the basis for a wide range of studies. By contrast, quartz, frequently used for producing stone tools, still lacks a well-established sampling protocol that considers both geological and archaeological settings. However, the presence of...

Using Collector for ArcGIS for Cultural Resource Data Collection (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kirsti E Uunila. Lionell Sewell.

The Calvert County, Maryland cultural resources planner has worked with the county GIS team to develop a Collector for ArcGIS app template for collection of data in the field for archaeological sites and architectural properties. The Collector for ArcGIS template is designed to capture the information required by the state on its forms, acquire geolocation information, and attach pictures for each site.  With minimal editing, a mail merge is used to produce a printable form that is acceptable to...
