Proceso Constructivo en los Montículos Circulares Prehispánicos de Urcuquí / Constructive Process at Prehispanic Circular Mounds of Urcuquí (2018)
El paisaje cultural arqueológico de Urcuquí se caracteriza por la presencia de montículos artificiales circulares –Tolas-, de la época prehispánica. Sus dimensiones promedio fluctúan entre treinta y cincuenta metros de diámetro y entre dos y cuatro metros de altura. El objetivo de esta ponencia es proponer el proceso de construcción de estas estructuras, a partir de una relectura de la información obtenida del registro arqueológico de superficie y subsuelo empleando técnicas mixtas: excavación...
Proyekto Paisahe Kultural di Kòrsou: The Environmental Legacy of Curaçao’s Cultural Landscapes (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2022, the Curaçao Cultural Landscape Project (CCLP) initiated a long-term field investigation on the ecological legacy of Indigenous and European colonial occupation of Curaçao, in the southern Caribbean. Drawing together multi-proxy records from human settlement, resource use, and environmental conditions over ca. 4500 years, this interdisciplinary...
Reconnaissance Survey of Ultra-Deepwater Shipwrecks and the Maritime Archaeological Landscape of the Gulf of Mexico (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. High-resolution geophysical surveys required by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in advance on oil industry activities have resulted in the discovery of several hundred shipwreck sites well offshore in the ultra-deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf. Public, academic, and Federal interest in these sites, coupled with the availability and affordability...
Remote Sensing at the Buffalo Lake Métis Wintering Site (FdPe-1): Follow-Up Results (2016)
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...
Remote Sensing at the Buffalo Lake Métis Wintering Site (FdPe-1): Preliminary Results (2015)

Results of Archaeogeophysical Surveying at the Great Friends Meeting House in Newport, Rhode Island (2011)
Archaeogeophysical surveys were carried out in October 2010 over a 30 x 50 m grid that was established immediately to the north and west of the north end of the Great Friends Meeting House (GFMH) in Newport, RI. The surveys were conducted using a Geonics EM-38 RT ground conductivity meter and a Mala X3M Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system that was equipped with 500 and 800 MHz antennas. In addition, a resistance survey was performed over a much smaller central area using a Geoscan RM15...
Searching For Spanish Footprints: Recent Geophysical Prospection On Sapelo Island, Georgia (2017)
The Sapelo Island Mission Period Archaeological Project (SIMPAP) has been conducting research on Sapelo Island, Georgia since 2003 in search of the Mission San Joseph de Sapala. Previous test excavations have produced potential architectural features and Spanish artifacts, while previous geophysical feasibility surveys hint at the presence of unique anomalies warranting further investigation. During the summer of 2016, University of Kentucky personnel conducted new ground-penetrating radar and...
Sitka National Historical Park, The Archeology of the Fort Unit, Volume I: Results of the 2005-2008 Inventory (2010)
In 2005, SITK invited the National Park Service’s (NPS) Midwest Archeological Center (MWAC) to conduct a Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program (SAIP) parkwide inventory at the park’s Fort Site Unit. This unit incorporates 57 acres of rainforest and nearly 55 acres of wetlands, Indian River channel, and tidal flats. The SAIP’s (and the SITK project’s) goals are to conduct systematic, scientific research to locate, evaluate, and document archeological resources on National Park system lands....
Understanding settlement organization through geophysical survey at the Morton Village Site, IL (2015)
Geophysical surveys at the Morton Village site are revealing the nature and distribution of occupation across this landscape and helping to guide the excavation program. Magnetometer surveys undertaken between 2010 and 2014 of 7.3 ha have identified numerous structures and pits. Results indicate a densely occupied village covering about 3.5 ha with more dispersed facilities outside this core. No evidence of a stockade has been found. By targeting specific magnetic anomalies, excavation is...
William Berkley, Civil War Sutler: Archaeological Investigations (2016)
Sutler stores were a common component of large Civil War era camps. At Camp Nelson, a large Union Civil War Depot in Jessamine County, Kentucky, several stores are listed in official records. The store run by William Berkley has been the site of archaeological investigation for the last few years. New work at the site has greatly expanded our understanding of the breadth of goods sold, including the international original of many goods. These excavations have also enhanced our...
