Book Synopsis Dam Projects and the Growth of American Archaeology by : Kimball M Banks
Download or read book Dam Projects and the Growth of American Archaeology written by Kimball M Banks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Smithsonian Institution’s River Basin Surveys and the Interagency Archeological Salvage Program were the most ambitious archaeological projects ever undertaken in the United States. Administered by the National Park Service from 1945–1969, the programs had profound effects—methodological, theoretical, and historical—on American archaeology, many of which are still being felt today. They stimulated the public’s interest in heritage preservation, led to the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act, served as the model for rescue archaeology in other countries, and helped launch the “New Archaeology.” This book examines the impacts of these two programs on the development of American archaeology.

Book Synopsis Women in Archaeology by : Sandra L. López Varela
Download or read book Women in Archaeology written by Sandra L. López Varela and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of women in archaeology worldwide and their dedication to advancing knowledge and human understanding. In their own voices, they present themselves as archaeologists working in academia or the private and public sector across 33 countries. The chapters in this volume reconstruct the history of archaeology while honoring those female scholars and their pivotal research who are no longer with us. Many scholars in this volume fiercely explore non-traditional research areas in archaeology. The chapters bear witness to their valuable and unique contributions to reconstructing the past through innovative theoretical and methodological approaches. In doing so, they share the inherent difficulties of practicing archaeology, not only because they, too, are mothers, sisters, and wives but also because of the context in which they are writing. This volume may interest researchers in archaeology, history of science, gender studies, and feminist theory.

Book Synopsis Archaeological Narratives of the North American Great Plains by : Sarah J. Trabert
Download or read book Archaeological Narratives of the North American Great Plains written by Sarah J. Trabert and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stretching from Canada to Texas and the foothills of the Rockies to the Mississippi River, the North American Great Plains have a complex and ancient history. The region has been home to Native peoples for at least 16,000 years. This volume is a synthesis of what is known about the Great Plains from an archaeological perspective, but it also highlights Indigenous knowledge, viewpoints, and concerns for a more holistic understanding of both ancient and more recent pasts. Written for readers unfamiliar with archaeology in the region, the book in the SAA Press Current Perspectives Series emphasizes connections between past peoples and contemporary Indigenous nations, highlighting not only the history of the area but also new theoretical understandings that move beyond culture history. This overview illustrates the importance of the Plains in studies of exchange, migration, conflict, and sacred landscapes, as well as contact and colonialism in North America. In addition, the volume includes considerations of federal policies and legislation, as well as Indigenous social movements and protests over the last hundred years so that archaeologists can better situate Indigenous heritage, contemporary Indigenous concerns, and lasting legacies of colonialism today.

Book Synopsis Archaeological Investigations at Site 45-DO-285, Chief Joseph Dam Project, Washington by : Christian J. Miss
Download or read book Archaeological Investigations at Site 45-DO-285, Chief Joseph Dam Project, Washington written by Christian J. Miss and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site 45-DO-285 is located at the north end of Buckley Bar, a landform in Rufus Woods Lake (Columbia River) at River Mile 587.5 near the Okanogan Highland-Columbia Plateau boundary. The site lies in an Upper Sonoran life zone. In 1979, the University of Washington excavated 137.2 cu m of site volume under contract to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program associated with adding 10 ft to the operating level behind Chief Joseph Dam. Systematic, aligned random sampling of 1 x 1 x 0.1-m collection units in 1 x 2 or 2 x 2-m cells disclosed four prehistoric components contained in point bar and later overbank deposits. The first two components are best characterized as Late Hudnut Phase. Projectile point styles and a single radiocarbon date indicate that these older compnents date between 3,000 and 2,000 years ago. The earliest cultural material is contained in point bar sands and gravels and overbandk deposits; the later material in overbank deposits. Projectile point styles from the assemblages are similar to those of the Quilomene Bar Phase. The two more recent components are assigned to the Coyote Creek Phase. They contain projectile points similar to those found in the Cayuse Phase on the Middle Columbia and are dated by these styles and two radiocarbon dates to a period from 2000 B.P. to the protohistoric.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site 45-DO-273 is on the south bank of the Columbia River (River Mile 561), near the Okanogan Highland-Columbia Plateau boundary, in an Upper Sonoran life zone. The University of Washington excavated 158.6 cubic meters in 1979 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program for a 10-foot pool raise at the Chief Joseph Dam Project. Systematic aligned random sampling with 1 x 1 x 0.1-meter units of record in 1 x 2 or 2 x 2-meter cells disclosed three prehistoric occuptions on an alluvial fan built onto an early point bar deposit, interbedded with overbank sediments. The two carbon dates obtained are unreliable, several serrated lanceolate projectile points suggest that the first occupation occurred more than 5,500 years ago. The second, more intensive occupation probably occurred about 4,500 years ago. Both of these early occupations fall within the Kartar Phase. The third occupation, in the Coyote Creek Phase, probably took place between 1,500 and 1,000 years ago. The occupations show little change in more than 4,500 years; all are lithic and bone concentrations with microblade technology and lithic stations. The earlier two occupations yielded mussel shell fragments, which are lacking in the later two. No earth ovens or hearths were found. (Author).

Download or read book Archaeology written by Brian M. Fagan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Method and Theory in Archaeology Archaeology: A Brief Introduction is an introduction to the fundamental principles of method and theory in archaeology, exposing students to archaeology as a career. The text begins by covering the goals of archaeology, and then moves on to consider the basic concepts of culture, time, and space, by discussing the finding and excavation of archaeological sites. By providing a distinct emphasis on the ethics behind archaeology, and how we should act as stewards of the finite records of the human past, Archaeology: A Brief Introduction continues to be a book with a truly international perspective, not simply focusing on North America or Europe. Teaching and Learning Experience Improve Critical Thinking - Archaeology: A Brief Introduction's "Archaeology and You" chapter provides students with career advice in an era when archaeology is transitioning from predominantly academic to professional. Engage Students - Each chapter within Archaeology: A Brief Introduction highlights important finds that have shaped our archaeological perspective, and a global perspective that shows students that archaeology is the most global of all sciences, encompassing all of humanity.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site 45-DO-204 is on the south bank of the Columbia River (River Mile 567) atop a narrow alluvial fan opposite the mouth of the Omak Trench. Tucked into a small cove, the site location offered a secluded, protected campsite less than .4 km from Parson's Rapids. Vegetation is characteristic of the Upper Sonoran life zone. The University of Washington excavated 153.8 m (5.5%) of site volume in 1978 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program associated with adding 10 ft to the operating pool level behind Chief Joseph Dam. A nested, stratified sampling design of randomly placed and purposively selected 1 x 1-m excavation units arranged in 1 x 2-m and 2 x 2-m cells disclosed at least four prehistoric occupations spanning the last 4500 years. The earliest occupation, sparsely represented by a triangular projectile point preform and chalcedony blade, some debitage and fire-modified rock, probably dates to before 4500 B.P. The second occupation is marked by a variety of functional tool forms and a small firepit with pine cones and pine seeds radiocarbon dated to 4590 + or - 143 B.P. The third occupation, defined as a living surface radiocarbon dated to 2812 + or - 344 B.P., contains the densest concentration of artifacts found at the site. The most recent occupation is distinguished by a stratified earth oven, radiocarbon dated at 592 + or - 71 B.P. and 655 + or - 67 B.P.A dense bone scatter, several firepits, and an earth oven indicate short-term activities. Tools document an emphasis in all four periods on hunting and butchering, supplemented by the gathering and processing of plant stuffs. (Author).

This book was released on 1984 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site 45-DO-211 is on the south bank of the Columbia River about 340 m upstream from River Mile 589. Vegetation is characteristic of the Upper Sonoran life zone. The University of Washington excavated 88 cu m (3.9 %) of site volume in 1979 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program associated with adding 10-ft to the operating pool level behind Chief Joseph Dam. A two-stage sampling design, incorporating random and non-random 1 x 1 x .01-m units of record, disclosed multiple episodes of prehistoric occupation spanning a period from ca. 5500-2700 B.P. and involving the construction of housepits as part of year-round activity. Four housepits were identified, with at least two of these evidently associated with a summer fish camp designed to take advantage of the seasonal runs of salmon. The others represent fall and winter occupations where economic emphasis was on the hunting of large ungulates. The documentation of a probable fishing camp with housepits in the Hudnut Phase (ca. 4000-2000 B.P.) at this site is unique in the Rufus Woods Lake project area, and suggests prehistoric economic systems over the last 3,000-4,000 years were generally similar to those described for the ethnohistoric period. The Columbia River was the focus of activity, with housepit settlements established at different points along the river. (Author).
