Archaeological excavations and presentations are memory-work, offering tactile and visual materials for consideration of the past. In a coastal Florida city, growing rapidly through in-migration of retirees and service industry employment opportunities, there are few aware or concerned over history. Yet the past haunts the Florida Gulf Coast and the expanding interest in heritage includes competitions among historians and archaeologists, residents and tourists, and development interests and...

As we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Society for Historical Archaeology, it seems appropriate to reflect on the history of historical archaeology at large. Although scholarly works on the history of the field are few, Robert L. Schuyler has been a steady advocate for and contributor to such work throughout his career. Over the last fifty years, he has consistently called for the need to document and preserve the history of the field. Equally important, he made...

The establishment of the Salt River Federal Reclamation Project in 1903 led to the construction of a modern irrigation system to serve the productive farmlands of the Salt River Valley. However, lands outside of the project boundaries, which generally had no legal claim to surface water, had to rely on alternative sources of water. The Roosevelt Water Conservation District was one of the earliest successful efforts to increase the available water supply. By applying simple but innovative...

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In hopes of making Utah Territory seem more metropolitan and 'normal', the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints embarked on the construction of one of the most unique resorts in all of the United States.

The foremost goal of this project was recording all archaeological and paleontological finds in the riparian corridor the Santa Cruz River, on the San Rafael de la Zanja Land Grant. Results of this full-coverage survey are intended to be useful for determining land management in the corridor. Observations about site boundaries, disturbance and potential for in-place buried deposits contribute to meeting these objectives. At the same time, these results are intended to provide information from a...
