Foreign Travel and the Development of Inca Archaeology in Cuzco, Peru (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicole Payntar. Julia Earle. Camille Weinberg. R. Alan Covey.

The roots of Inca archaeology lie in reports and memoirs of 19th century travel, which culminated in Hiram Bingham’s 1911 Yale Peruvian Expedition. These accounts traced routes that brought international attention to architectural remains of Inca royal estates and religious monuments, providing an early "guide" to would-be travelers and framing the formative years of Inca archaeology. As research proliferated in the past 50 years, some archaeologists have promoted the remains of royal estates as...

Framing the "Ethnoarchaeological" Other: The Direct Historical Approach in Victorian Bible Customs Books (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kevin McGeough. Jerimy Cunningham.

One of the most popular genres of late-Victorian literature was the Bible Customs book. Often written by missionaries who had lived in Palestine for years, these books were intended to help illuminate the Bible based on observations of the flora, fauna, topography, and especially of the people living in the land in the 19th century. Organized according to subject or by Biblical verse, these books presupposed a connection between the people of Biblical times and 19th-century Palestine. In these...

From the Worm to the World: A Legacy of Julie Stein (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Margaret Conkey.

This is an abstract from the "From Middens to Museums: Papers in Honor of Julie K. Stein" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the scholarly contributions of Julie Stein, her key paper on the impact of worms on archaeological sites is among several that have been foundational to not just geoarchaeology but to those of us dealing with the bioturbation of archaeological sites. In this, she is a direct descendant of Charles Darwin. From this, and...

Ground-truthing a Historic Database: Chequamegon Bay Archaeological Survey 2016 (2017)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Heather Walder. John Creese.

In summer of 2016, the authors investigated two northern Wisconsin sites with long legacies of regional recognition as key seventeenth-century interaction locales among Native American communities and French explorers, missionaries, and traders. These historic locations, known as the Fish Creek Village and Shore’s Landing Trading Post, are significant to descendant communities, including local Ojibwe peoples and Wendat diaspora groups. In addition, the locations are some of the first...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lynne Goldstein. John Kelly.

This is an abstract from the "Female Firsts: Celebrating Archaeology’s Pioneering Women on the 101st Anniversary of the 19th Amendment " session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Harriet Smith worked at the Field Museum in Chicago for much of her long career. She was in the Education Department and focused primarily on teaching high school students about archaeology and other disciplines. However, this simple statement does not do justice to Harriet’s...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lynneth Lowe.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The study of correspondence, field notes, catalogs and other archival documents has contributed important information to understand the history of some of the first Maya archaeological collections in the United States and Europe. The field and lab work developed by pioneering explorers and researchers, such as Hermann Berendt (1817-1878) and Charles Rau...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas Davis.

This is an abstract from the "Pushing the Envelope, Chasing Stone Age Sailors and Early Agriculture: Papers in Honor of the Career of Alan H. Simmons" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

IN the mid-1908s, The Khirokitia Culture (KC) was thought to be the first...

A Historical look at American Archeology

PROJECT Uploaded by: Aaron Deguzman

This project was set up by ASU undergraduate Aaron Deguzman for a individual study project that he did with FPMcManamon in the Spring semester of 2011. Included are digital copies of some of the historic publications he read and some of his written summaries and assessments of these readings. The following two paragraphs are Aaron's statement of what he hoped to get out of the readings course. What I'd like to study is the history of archeology with an emphasis on the public outlook on...

The History and Practice of European Prehistory through a Black Feminist Lens (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathleen Sterling.

This is an abstract from the "Deepening Archaeology's Engagement with Black Studies" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Classics is undergoing a very public and painful reckoning with its use by white nationalists. Prehistoric archaeologists working in Europe have largely stayed out of the fray, perhaps due to many practitioners seeing our research subjects as “pre-racial” or our work as otherwise unrelated to these discussions. However, if we look at...

The History of Archaeobotanical Research on the Island of Puerto Rico and Its Relationship with Notions of Poor Preservation of Macro-botanical Remains on Archaeological Contexts (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jose Garay-Vazquez. Dorian Fuller. José Oliver.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeobotanical research of macro-botanical remains in the Caribbean is scarce due to notions of poor preservation in tropical landscapes. This shifted archaeobotanical research towards the analysis of micro-botanical remains because these types of analysis have been reported as more successful for recovering data of subsistence practices in the Neotropics....

The Homol’ovi Research Project – The View from ASU (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Duff. Wesley Bernardini. Gregson Schachner.

It is unlikely that we will see a research effort of the scope and duration of the Homol’ovi Research Program project replicated in the Southwest. It is the successful execution of this work by Chuck Adams and Rich Lange, unfolding over more than three decades, that we will attempt to contextualize from the vantage point of that other university in Arizona, ASU. We begin by reviewing the intellectual context of Southwestern research preceding the Homol’ovi project, in particular how the...

The Hunters Were Here First: Paleoindian Research in the Greater Southwest (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Kilby.

This is an abstract from the "The Paleoindian Southwest" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In attempting to work out the chronological relationship between a newly discovered mammoth kill and plant processing sites in southern Arizona in the 1950s, Emil Haury succinctly concluded, "the hunters were here first." In the ensuing decades, it became clear that underlying the relatively conspicuous archaeological record of the agricultural Southwest is an...

Identifying Lakam-Tun: A Sixteenth-Century Maya Fortified Site in Lake Miramar, Chiapas, Mexico (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ramon Folch.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Research on the Postclassic period at Lake Miramar in the southern Lacandon Jungle of Chiapas permits identifying the fortified island of Lakam-Tun. The site was destroyed in 1586 by Juan de Morales Villavicencio in his attempt to conquer the Cholti'-Lacandon, who then sheltered deeper in the jungle until 1695. Earlier research failed to locate important...

Identity and Heritage: Moving beyond Twentieth-Century Archaeology in the Caribbean (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Diana Quintero Bisono.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The development of archaeology in the Caribbean is deeply embedded in the colonialist and imperialist history of the region. For many years, archaeologists studied the area in a contentious manner, which in turn impacted the local research capacity for fields such as archaeology. The effects of colonialist and imperialist agendas that extended into the...
