This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Two species from different domestication centres – the Bactrian camel from central Asia and the Dromedary from Arabia – were deliberately brought together and bred to create new, more powerful, animals. Larger than both parents and double the strength of its contributory species, the hybrid camel was the world’s first engineered hybrid transportation. Creating the hybrid camel required...
Historical and Archaeological Investigation into the "Triangle Land" in South Bend's West Washington District. (2016)
All too often, archaeology illuminates the history of "big men." This paper narrates the history through archaeological investigation of one city corner in South Bend, Indiana, and the contribution of the businesses that occupied it in the city’s most formative years. Manufacturing successes within South Bend such as the Oliver Plow Works, and Studebaker are well known and researched. What is less well known are the supporting businesses and businessmen that made up the representative sample of...
Historical archaeology and archaeological practice in Denmark (2013)
The concept of archaeology and the structure of professional archaeology in Denmark differ from those of the Anglo-Saxon world. This is especially true when speaking of historical archaeology. Though medieval archaeology has experienced an inclusion into mainstream archaeology during the last few decades, much of what is considered archaeology in Britain and the United States is not seen as such in Denmark. This condition is due to historical conditions and divisions within the museum world. But...

Impacts of population resettlement due to sea level rise on archaeological resources: a case study (2016)
Coastal communities in the United States, as well as other portions of the world, are contending with challenges posed by sea level rise. As coastal areas are inundated and subjected to coastal processes, action is generally limited to mitigation of sites with great local significance experiencing immediate threat, while the destruction of archaeological sites by the resettlement of affected communities has been given little attention. This secondary impact of climate change threatens cultural...

Indigenous Method and Theory in Archaeology (2017)
Indigenous Archaeology has been described as archaeology with, for, and by Indigenous people. The differences between with and for, and by Indigenous people are critical to Indigenous people and society in general. Research framed in Indigenous method and theory is built within frames of respect, relationality, and reciprocity, it is praxis that weaves through institutional and public spaces to create social change. Such social change addresses the past real world consequences of colonial...
Ingenuity in the Oasis: An Examination of Early Bronze Age Agricultural Communities in Oman (WGF - Dissertation Fieldwork Grant) (2016)
This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This project will investigate the socio-economic foundations of oasis communities during the Early Bronze Age (EBA, ca. 3100BCE - 2000BCE) in southeastern Arabia. These relatively small-scale communities demonstrate strategic organizational and subsistence choices in extreme environments and climates that led to the establishment of widespread oasis agriculture communities across the...
Inland ports in Northwestern Peten, Guatemala, a preliminary assessment (2015)
Northwestern Petén is characterized by an extensive wetland system subject to flooding during the annual rains, connecting what appear as isolated bajos in the dry periods of the year into larger, intermittent drainage networks. The San Juan, Chocop and Xan rivers drain these flooded areas into the San Pedro Martir River, which flows west, ultimately joining the Usumacinta River. We hypothesize that El Achiotal, a Preclassic center located within these seasonally occurring flood lands, and the...
An integrated digital approach for ceramic analysis at Baita Semati, northern Ethiopia (2015)
This paper provides an overview of the methods and results of the ceramic analysis conducted in two study seasons at the archaeological site of Baita Semati, in northern Ethiopia. The work was articulated into three main steps: 1) analytical description of the morphological attributes, 2) typological classification, 3) chronological and cultural interpretation and comparisons. Our goal was to create rich records for all pottery objects that would include standardized descriptions, typological...
Interpreting a Deserted Medieval Village through Geophysical Data (2017)
Ground-penetrating radar is often used as a way to collect from reflections from buried features, which are then processed into colorized horizontal amplitude maps to visualize these features in the horizontal plane. While this is a good way find and visualized features in "batch mode" there are other less commonly employed methods to process the data. The Castles in Communities project in Ballintubber, Ireland project has collected GPR data sets from multiple years to produce standard GPR...

Interpreting Slavery from Urban Spaces: African Diaspora Archaeology and the Christiansted National Historic Site (2016)
The Christiansted National Historic Site in the US Virgin Islands has served as a landmark site documenting the history of African Diaspora and Danish occupation in St. Croix from 1733-1917.

Involvement in researching Bermuda's past has encouraged locals to explore...
