In 2005, an extensive archaeological investigation occurred at the African American Meeting House in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts in anticipation of proposed renovations to the property for the 2006 bi-centennial celebration. Excavations were conducted by the University of Massachusetts Boston in collaboration with the Museum of African American History covering a 19 square meter area of potential impact. This area included the backlot of the historic Meeting House,...

PROJECT Charles E. Cantley. United States Air Force, Air Combat Command. Shaw Air Force Base.

Phase II Testing of four archaeological sites located within the Poinsett Electronic Combat Range (PECR), South Carolina, was conducted by New South Associates for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, and the U. S. Air Force, Shaw Air Force Base (AFB) . Most of PECR is located in Sumter County's Manchester Township, with the southern end extending into Fulton, and the eastern edge crossing over into Privateer. The four sites under examination are, from north to south, 38SU18,...

Previous research in Mesoamerican fauna analysis has contributed insights into resource use, but Maya turtle use remains unexamined. Faunal analysis, zooarchaeology, vertebrate taphonomy, and behavioral archaeology provide a guideline into the past taphonomic and life histories of the turtle bones recovered from Isla Cilvituk (A.D. 900-1525). The primary objective of my research is to establish an archaeology model of exploitation of the small and large turtles recovered from Isla...

My main goal with this thesis was to create a sampling design, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which would allow me to determine the best datable contexts at Isla Cilvituk. Once this sampling design was created, I analyzed the spatial distribution of these datable contexts using the frequency of specimens divided by the total volume of each archaeological layer as a measurement of density (m3). This analysis was divided into two parts. The first analysis looked at the distribution...

DATASET Matthew Boulanger. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 2543 ceramic and clay specimens from Israel analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at LBNL between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR. Compositional data for some sherds...

This dataset contains compositional (elemental abundance) and descriptive data for a total of 127 ceramic specimens from Italy, analyzed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These data were generated by neutron activation analysis (NAA) at LBNL between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Data from the LBNL were transferred to the Archaeometry Laboratory at the University of Missouri, where they were digitized for distribution through tDAR. Elemental abundance data could not be...

This is the artifact field catalog for the 1983 excavation of the Jackson-Everson site.

PROJECT Uploaded by: Amanda Sacks

The site of Jackson-Everson is located on the boundary between St. Johnsville and Palatine, Montgomery County, New York. The site was probably founded by Huron immigrants in 1657, when all the Mohawk villages were still located on the south side of the river. The village remained at the site through the relocation of Mohawk villages to the north side of the river. It was occupied through most of the A.D. 1666-1679 period, but was abandoned by the time Jesuit missionaries and Catholic converts...

This book is a general historic and cultural overview of the Kanishba ruins located on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Central Arizona. First mentioned in archaeological publications in 1892 by Adolph Bandelier, this large and prominent site eventually was investigated as part of an archaeological research program of the University of Arizona. In 1931, Dr. Byron Cummings, then Director of the Arizona State Museum and Head of the Department of Anthropology, established a camp near the site...

PROJECT Rani T Alexander.

With the authorization of the Consejo de Arqueología, Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), we conducated investigations in historical archaeology of the towns of Ebtun, Kaua, Cuncunul, Tekom, and Tixcacalcupul and their related settlements situated in north-central Yucatan, Mexico. The purpose of the investigation is to document and explain changes in cultural practices and agrarian ecology in Maya-speaking communities from AD 1545 to 2000, comparing archaeological settlement...

This paper addresses the changes to the noria platform and to noria technology of north-central Yucatán. I question whether personal preference influenced differentiation of the technology or if specific utilitarian activities dictated more standardization through time. I use statistical analysis to determine if there is equal variance among the noria openings and platforms. By comparing three different property types (haciendas, ranchos, and conventos) the data indicates the noria...

This thesis analyzes the social and subsistence value of the freshwater gasptropod Pomacea spp. in Isla Cilvituk. This is a Postclassic (900 -1525 A.D.) archaeological site on the Maya lowlands. The site is located in Lake Silvituc, Campeche, Mexico. Freshwater resources, such as Pomacea sp., have been neglected from archaeological studies. Scholars have argued that these types of resources are of little importance to the diet, stating that these contain low nutritional value, and even excluding...

In May and June, 1992, Statistical Research conducted a cultural resource survey of approximately 1,260 acres of land owned by the U.S. Army, in Bellemont, Arizona. The survey was performed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District. The project areas are used by the military as training/bivouac sites and were not randomly selected for survey. The survey was conducted on two separate occasions by a crew of 4-5 including the project director. The field work documented four...
