SWCA surveyed 50.00 acres on behalf of Kirtland Air Force Base and identified six archaeological sites and 10 IOs. One archaeological site (LA 194069) is a newly recorded site. Data from ARMS suggested that the survey area would also encounter LA 107704, LA 108123, LA 121916, LA 121919, and LA 138016. During the current investigation, SWCA found the ARMS proxy circle and other site boundaries for LA 107704, LA 108123, LA 121916, LA 121919, and LA 138016 to be inaccurately depicted on the ARMS...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 1942 to 1945, the U.S. Navy conducted extensive Carrier Qualification Training in Lake Michigan. The training program was highly successful with only 120 aircraft lost in the lake, a considerably low number when taking into account the 120,000 successful landings and 35,000 pilots qualified. As a group, and individually, these wrecksites represent an important and unique piece of...

With the German Afrika Korps driving across the North African desert with impunity in 1941 and 1942, the U.S. Army realized that it might be called upon to assist its British ally in the fight against the Germans and Italians. Egypt, along with the strategic Suez Canal and the Middle East in general, were in danger of being lost to the Axis powers. It became imperative that the Axis be expelled from North Africa. The U.S. Army, however, had never fought a large-scale war in a desert environment....

Social network data can demonstrate how communities and individuals responded to changes to existing social structures, such as those caused by diaspora. Japanese American internment represents a forced diaspora as incarceration altered existing social structures and networks. Data from the Amache Internment center in Southeastern Colorado are used to...
