The archaeological curation crisis has plagued repositories and archaeologists alike with a multitude of problems for several decades, most notably inaccessibility to collections. Archaeological artifacts continue to be curated in repositories with little prospect of ever being used by researchers to uncover new information about the past, rendering them essentially useless and removing much of the moral justification of archaeology itself. However, in creating digital 3D models of artifacts and...
Digitizing The Anasazi Origins Project: A Geodatabase (2013)
Archaeology is faced with the inheritance problem of managing legacy collections, partly due to the high expense of maintaining them. Often these datasets are unorganized, thus rendering them underutilized, and difficult to properly preserve or to integrate into the current archaeological dialogue. Unfortunately, this problem is a common issue. To address this problem, an examination of the condition of the records and artifacts of legacy archaeological collections is needed. In this thesis,...
Directionality and Exclusivity of Plains-Pueblo Exchange During the Protohistoric Period (A.D. 1450-1700) (2000)
The author investigates Plains-Pueblo exchange using macroscopic petrographic data regarding the temper of Glaze Ware sherds recovered from 63 archaeological sites on the Llano Estacado escarpment of the Texas Panhandle. The sites are in two geographic areas commonly associated with distinct archaeological complexes, Tierra Blanca and Garza. The results of the analysis suggest that Plains groups maintained highly exclusive trade ties with specific Pueblos and that the geographic directionality...
Dirt to Desk: Macrobotanical Analyses From Fort St. Joseph (20BE23) and The Lyne Site (20BE10) (2009)
Fort St. Joseph, a seventeenth- to eighteenth-century archaeological site in southwestern Michigan, and the adjacent Lyne site provide a recent and ongoing example of historical archaeology posing questions about the notion of culture contact during French colonialism. Effective research questions, increasingly systematic procedures, and a balance between historical and archaeological material have served to solidify and situate the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project’s contributions to...
Discussion d’un cadre chronologique pour l’utilisation du propulseur et de l’arc (2001)
J. Whittaker: [“On a chronological framework for the use of the spearthrower and the bow.” In French] Hunting weapons (spears) are known from at least Middle Paleolithic times, and common opinion is that spearthrowers begin at least by Solutrean, but bow not until Mesolithic. Two methods of evaluating this chronology: “direct” evidence of the weapons themselves, and “indirect” evidence of the projectile points compared to ethnographic and experimental information. Describes basic use, and male,...
Dissertation - Community Identity and Social Practice during the Terminal Classic Period at Actuncan, Belize (2015)
This research examines the relationship between the ways in which urban families engaged local landscapes and the development of shared identities at the prehispanic Maya city of Actuncan, Belize. Such shared identities would have created deep historical ties to specific urbanized spaces, which enabled and constrained political expansion during the Terminal Classic period (ca. A.D. 800–900), a time when the city experienced rapid population growth as surrounding centers declined. This research...
The double axe in Minoan Crete: a functional analysis of production and use (2007)
This study examines the production and use of Minoan double axes with the aim of finding out what working activities they were used for. The double axe has earlier been associated with a woodworker, a carpenter, a stonemason and a butcher. These assumptions have not been substantiated through any detailed investigation of who used the double axes and for what purpose. This study includes 229 double axes, of which 21 have been thoroughly studied. The bronze smith’s knowledge reflects the end...

EARLY-MIDDLE ARCHAIC SUBSISTENCE STRATEGIES: CHANGES IN FAUNAL EXPLOITATION AT THE KOSTER SITE (1982)
This study uses faunal remains from Horizons 11-8A of the Koster Site, Greene County, Illinois, as the basis for examining subsistence change during the Early-Middle Archaic transition in the Midwest. Two related issues are considered. First, did significant changes in subsistence strategies occur? Second, what were the probable causes of subsistence change? Current evidence from the lower Illinois River Valley suggests that subsistence change is closely related to changes in settlement or...
Eating Ethnicity: Examining 18th Century French Colonial Identity Through Selective Consumption of Animal Resources in the North American Interior (2004)
Cultural identities can be created and maintained through daily practice and food consumption is one such practice. People need food in order to survive, but the types of food they eat are largely determined by the interaction of culture and their environment. By approaching the topic of subsistence practices as being culturally constituted, the study of foodways provides an avenue to examine issues of cultural identity through selective consumption. Eating certain foods to the exclusion of...

Environmental Analysis of Native American Settlement Patterns in the Late Archaic and Early Woodland Periods in Northern Indiana (2014)
This project explores environmental differences in site distribution between the Late Archaic and Early Woodland periods in LaPorte and St. Joseph Counties of Indiana. Comprehensive maps of sites were created using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (with layers displaying topography, satellite imagery, soil type and quality, and drainage patterns) to analyze trends in settlement pattern. Individual sites were examined through surface surveys to determine what features of the environment...
Eolian Deposition and Soil Fertility in a Prehistoric Agricultural Complex in Central Arizona (2012)
Prehistoric farmers in the semi-arid American Southwest were challenged by marked spatial and temporal variation in, and overall low levels of, precipitation with which to grow their crops. One strategy they employed was to modify their landscape with rock alignments in order to concentrate surface water flow on their fields. A second challenge that has been less focused on by archaeologists is the need to maintain soil fertility by replenishing nutrients removed from the soil by agricultural...

An Examination of Gunflints From the Fort St. Joseph Site (20BE23) in Niles, Michigan (2011)
French colonial North America was settled in order to expand the fur trade and also secure the North American interior from British incursions. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, France had come to occupy huge swathes of land in North America, establishing a trading empire from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains, and from Hudson Bay southward along the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. As the fur trade expanded, the Great Lakes region proved vital to France’s interests, and near...
