Fort St. Joseph is a 17th-18th century French (and later English) mission-garrison-trading post complex located in southwest Michigan. A geophysical survey was performed and the results of the survey were tested through archaeological excavation. The geophysical methods included ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic induction, electrical resistivity, magnetic gradiometry, and magnetic susceptibility. The results of the archaeological excavations demonstrate that magnetic gradiometry was the...

On the shelves of the Museum of the American Indian lie the pieces of a dramatic story that began unfolding in the Southwestern United States nearly 500 years ago. In 1540 the ancient Zuni villages of Hawikku and Kechiba:wa were bustling communities when the Zuni world was abruptly and irrevocably changed by a battle with the Spanish conquistadors, led by Francisco Coronado, during his search for the legendary cities of Cibola. Through the ensuing years an uneasy relationship developed between...

The historic site, Chihuahua D:4:2, was excavated as part of a long-range plan to study the aboriginal and alien cultures of northwestern Chihuahua. This plan includes an archaeological survey of the area, test excavations in representative sites in order to define cultural assemblages or phases, and finally, through the use of the information thus derived, a study of the cultural dynamics of the area. It is believed that the study of the aboriginal cultures of this region should begin at a...

Thirty-Three historic structures in various stages of decay are all that remain of the gold mining community of Summitville. Summitville, which is nestled in the mountains of southern Colorado, was once known as one of the most productive gold mines in all of the state. This community was organized into a Company Town in 1934. There have been no prior archaeological investigations at this site, and, therefore, little is known about how far the company went to control the residents and their...

Historical archaeology offers unique possibilities to the interpretation of history at house museums. Despite this, archaeology is an under-utilized resource in the museum field. Why is this the case? This question is addressed through an examination of the context of historical archaeology and historic house museums, a qualitative survey of New England museums, and a pair of case studies. Possible reasons for the apparent divide between historical archaeology and historic house museums are...

Northwestern Chihuahua provides the field for a definition of the traditional Mexiacn plateau, a distinction between Sierra Madre Occidental and basin-and-range geomorphology, the discussion of basin-and-range orogeny, the relative roles of wind, gravity and water in denudation, and the problem of climatic change. Within an environment of varied climate, vegetation and terrain, a prehistoric people developed a coherent culture which can be reconstructed somewhat from rests of dwellings,...

The relationship between large-scale water control projects and the development of sociopolitical complexity is an important theoretical domain in anthropology that can benefit from the diachronic nature of archaeological data. It is argued that irrigation systems are socio-technic entities, designed not only to satisfy engineering requirements but also to accommodate the social groups operating it. This study develops a new theoretical framework for identifying the task groups operating these...

This study investigates the vulnerability of subsistence agriculturalists to food shortfalls associated with dry periods. I approach this effort by evaluating prominent and often implicit conceptual models of vulnerability to dry periods used by archaeologists and other scholars investigating past human adaptations in dry climates. The conceptual models I evaluate rely on an assumption of regional-scale resource marginality and emphasize the contribution of demographic conditions (settlement...

In the light of widespread concern over the state of history education in England, this study explores how living history at museums and historic sites contributes to engaging young people in representations of the past. It draws on theories of historical consciousness, specifically that of Rüsen, which imply that ideas about the past formed in the everyday exist in tension with learning history in the classroom. Applying Rüsen’s theory to a novel context, visits by six schools to the Museum of...

Cultural resource management (CRM) and industrial archaeology are newer fields to the broad scope of archeology. CRM and industrial archaeology both have methods on identifying and processing cultural resources, but CRM can provide valuable methods on preserving, reusing or identifying industrial heritage. This paper will display how CRM and industrial archaeology are needed together to fully understand the cultural importance and physical important of the building in the past and present.

Across the northern Southwest, the Pueblo IV period (A.D. 1275-1400) was a time of dramatic change in settlement patterns, religious configurations, and social relationships, leading to the constant redefinition of social boundaries and identities and the establishment of multiple social connections. This dissertation explores the spatial and social scales at which residents of Zuni region nucleated villages focused social interactions and defined social boundaries and identities. This is...

This research explores how people’s relationships with the spirits of the dead are embedded in political histories. It addresses the ways in which certain spirits were integral “inhabitants” of two social environments with disparate political traditions. Using the prehistoric mortuary record, I investigate the spirits and their involvement in socio-political affairs in the Prehispanic American Southeast and Southwest. Foremost, I construct a framework to characterize particular social...
