Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Cultural resource management is the primary employer of archaeologists in the United States and has seen an increase in the number and scale of projects conducted in the past several years. This poster session presents examples of recent work by Chronicle Heritage staff in Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, California, and Florida, including survey, excavation, artifact analyses, ethnography, and broader considerations of ethical issues in archaeology. These posters demonstrate the scope of work being conducted by CRM archaeologists and its research potential.

Fire Effects on Obsidian Landscapes: A Case Study (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We know fire can affect obsidian hydration, but how do forest fires, and our management practices impact these sites and their potential for data contribution under Criterion D? Is there a different way of going about evaluating data contribution or management practices to work with management in our age of large, intense climate-change...

Gendered Grave Goods: Relationships between Gender-Associated Artifacts and Biological Sex in the Precontact San Francisco Bay Area (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Too often the identified biological sex of precontact human remains are assumed to represent the lived gender experience of the individual. At the same time, concepts of the gendered division of labor influence the association of classes of artifacts with genders. This paper reexamines data from excavations of burials in the San Francisco...

Inclusion of Indigenous Knowledge and Perspective in Cultural Resource Management: A Laboratory Perspective (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Indigenous history has been told through the lens of outsiders claiming authority on the subjects with little credibility given to traditional knowledge of the descendant communities who remain (Bernardini et al. 2021). There is an abundance of Indigenous Knowledge communities can share with archaeologists to help insert Indigenous voices...

Riparian Protection and Restoration as a Necessary Mitigation Practice (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only
This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Work by Chronicle Heritage" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. When looking at the cultural landscape archaeological surveys often only consider the direct effects that construction projects have on observed cultural resources. Secondary effects such as erosion from construction activity, building usage, and waste deposition are often ignored. Disturbances to the seven aspects of site integrity often...
