Nat 20: Looking at Gaming Pieces and Gambling from the Haynie Site

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

For the Summer of 2023, I traveled to Cortez, Colorado to participate in a lab internship at Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. I was given the opportunity to conduct a personal project dealing with a set type of artifacts of my own choosing. For my project, I decided to look at the gaming pieces from the Haynie site (5MT1905). My goal for this project was to contribute a better understanding of gaming and gambling related to the Ancestral Pueblo people for the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, which could potentially help to better recognize these types of artifacts in future projects and analyses for Crow Canyon. In addition to research dealing with gaming and gambling in the Southwestern region and analyzing the gaming pieces that were already identified in the collection, I was able to identify 4 additional gaming pieces that were previously categorized under different artifact types. This paper that I am presenting discusses the process and the results of this personal project.
