The 1973 Seminar on The Lacustrine Kingdoms in the Titicaca Basin (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mario Rivera.

Adolf Bandelier’s 1892-1894 Expedition to the Central Coast of Peru (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Stacy Dunn.

Adolf Francis Alphonse Bandelier (1840-1914) was an ethnologist and archaeologist best known for his work in the American Southwest. What is less well-known is Bandelier’s later years studying the ancient Andes, such as his 1892-1894 expedition on the central coast of Peru. Due to an unstable political environment, he moved his expedition to the Bolivian highlands and instead wrote about highland myths. Shortly thereafter, he passed away while pursuing historical sources in Seville, Spain to...


Adolph Bandelier’s Legacy in the Lake Titicaca Basin: Tiwanaku and Qeya Ceramic Style (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only John Janusek. Andrew Roddick.

While Swiss-born anthropologist Adolph Bandelier is perhaps best known for his research in the U.S. southwest, for which the Bandelier National Forest bears his name, his research in the Bolivian Lake Titicaca region during the late nineteenth century has left an indelible legacy. Based on a brief visit of scarcely three weeks to the site of Tiahuanaco in 1894, he produced an informative document that remains vital to understanding its monuments to this day. In this paper we focus on his...


Amateur and Professional Archaeologists: Who’s Who? (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelley Hays-Gilpin. Peter J. Pilles, Jr.

Archaeology in the state of Arizona has been a partnership between professionals and “amateurs,” or avocationalists, for more than a century. From an early focus on collecting “antiquities” for display, both professionals and avocationalists have followed a parallel course in the development of method and theory and the specialization of skills and interests, that today has blurred the distinction between “professionals” and “amateurs.” This paper will discuss the growth of avocational...

American Pompeii: Old evidence on Late Classic ties between the Pacific Coast and the Antigua valley (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Oswaldo Chinchilla.

An archaeological collection from finca Pompeya in the Antigua Guatemala valley provides significant information about Late Classic interaction with the adjacent Pacific coast. Excavated in 1893, the collection was eventually scattered to several museums in Germany, the United States, and Guatemala. However, it can be reconstructed from a photograph made not long after the discovery, and from newspaper reports that provide rough descriptions of the excavations. The objects themselves are still...


Analysis of Recovered Hull Elements from the Manila Galleon Santo Cristo de Burgos of 1693 (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Williams.

This is an abstract from the "Pacific Maritime History: Ships and Shipwrecks" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During the summer of 2022 wood beams were recovered from the wreck of the Manilla galleon Santo Cristo de Burgos, which wrecked on the north Oregon coast in 1693. This paper presents analysis of those beams and other artifacts from the wreck, including species identification and radiocarbon dating.

Her foundational work in the early endeavors of the ‘New Archaeology’ set the stage for an academic revolution,...

And the Legacy Continues: Homol’ovi Looking Forward (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Saul Hedquist. Samantha Fladd. Vincent M. LaMotta. Nancy Odegaard.

This paper honors the anthropological contributions of the Homol’ovi Research Program (HRP) and its directors. We reflect on the conception and implementation of field and curation protocols that enabled years of innovative research into ancient Pueblo lifeways, work that continues today. Though fieldwork in the region has ceased, researchers still benefit from exceptional field recording standards, sound conservation techniques, and an explicitly behavioral project methodology. HRP was...


Ants for Breakfast For Everyone! The Legacy of James Skibo’s Work on the Kalinga Ethnoarchaeological Project (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Margaret Beck.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Method and Theory: Papers in Honor of James M. Skibo, Part I" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1988, James Skibo lived and worked in a small village along the Pasil River in the northern Philippines. His observations there of women cooking, and the material traces of vessel use, still have a lasting impact on archaeological ceramic analysis 30 years later. In this paper I consider some of Skibo’s...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Judith Sealy.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Science and African Archaeology: Appreciating the Impact of David Killick" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. African archaeology has a rich tradition of archaeological science.

The summary includes a discussion about how NRHP criteria have been applied to archaeological resources. The author points out the importance of evaluating archaeological properties for the NRHP as part of documentation and determining the significance of these resources for public planning and as part of cultural resource management (CRM) activities..


Archaeology Girls: Mentoring of Women in Archaeology and the 1960s Girl Scout Archaeological Unit (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Risa Arbolino. Kit Nelson.

In the 1960s women were beginning to make major strides in the field of archaeology. It is also during this time that informal mentoring relationships began between women active in the field and young women interested in pursuing their interests in archaeology. One such example is the role of Bertha Dutton with the Girl Scouts during the early 1960s. Working out of Camp Elsa Seligman, Girl Scouts conducted survey and excavation within Sandoval County. Their field notes, archaeological field...


Archaeology in Puerto Rico from 1960 to 1988: A Transition from Amateur to Regulated Archaeology (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Paola Valentin Irizarry.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1952, Puerto Rico began a new era of self-administration. The establishment of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico inspired the creation of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture (1955). The propaganda given to indigenous heritage resulted in the rise of amateur archaeologists. This paper considers the contributions of these groups toward the development of...

Archaeology of Mining in Central Asia: Current Projects, Approaches, and Limitations (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mariana Castro.

This is an abstract from the "Advances and New Perspectives in Central Asian Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The archaeology of mining in ancient Central Asia has long interested Russian-speaking archaeologists and geologists. Already in 1917, for example, Veber recognized Central Asia as a fertile ground for archaeological inquiry concerning pre-modern mines. Yet, perhaps due to remoteness and political setting, the research produced...


The Archaeology of the Southern Belize Region in Context (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mario Borrero.
