A commoning framework for environmental archaeology
Environmental archaeology has often relied on common-pool resource models to interpret past human-environment relationships, yet these frameworks overlook Indigenous ontologies grounded in kinship with land, water, and more-than human beings. We propose commoning as a complementary approach that centers reciprocity, relational care, and cultural meaning alongside institutional regulation. Drawing on archaeological evidence from Virginia's Chesape…
The oyster revolution
Transformative social change occurred in the Chesapeake region with the intensification of oyster harvesting and the establishment of central places in estuarine settings at the outset of the Middle Woodland period ( ca. A.D. 200). Accompanying the pivot toward estuarine living was the spread of shell-tempered ceramics indexing regional social networks from the Delaware Bay to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Survey and excavation data from the N…
Sustaining the shell middens
Shorelines have always been hubs of human activity and development meaning much of our cultural heritage is concentrated in coastal settings. In recent decades, changing environmental conditions and the effects of global warming (i.e., shoreline erosion, sea-level rise, land subsistence) threaten to destroy much of our remaining global coastal heritage. To prevent the further loss of archaeological contexts, this study seeks to develop a coastal …
Resituating the deep history of the Chesapeake
This themed issue of North American Archaeologist reexamines the deep history of the Chesapeake region's Native societies through five papers. The articles describe collaborative approaches that challenge traditional narratives, focusing on climate change, community dynamics, reassessment of a key archaeological site, and decolonization efforts
Kiskiak
Villages organized coastal Algonquian social life in the Chesapeake during the late precolonial and early colonial eras. Even so, archaeologists have only rarely attempted to interpret village or community organization in the region, relying instead on the assumption that communities overlapped closely with individual sites. This study challenges that assumption through a “non-site” assessment of survey and excavation data from Virginia's lower Y…
Using Neutron Activation Analysis to evaluate social connections during a period of transformative social change in the American Southeast
Evaluating the Role of Social Movements in the Middle-to-Late Woodland Transformation on the Northern Gulf Coast of Florida
Relating tools to tasks
The purposeful management of oyster fisheries has increasingly been used to explain millennial-scale sustainability evident at shell-bearing archaeological sites throughout the Southeast and beyond. While the focus of oyster management has been on the oysters themselves, the tools related to sustainable practices must also be the subject of investigation. Crown conch hammers are common artifacts recovered from coastal sites in the Southeast altho…
Maritime Ritual Economies of Cosmic Synchronicity
Places such as Poverty Point, Mound City, and Chaco Canyon remind us that the siting of ritual infrastructure in ancient North America was a matter of cosmological precedent. The cosmic gravity of these places gathered persons periodically in numbers that challenged routine production. Ritual economies intensified, but beyond the material demands of hosting people, the siting of these places and the timing of gatherings were cosmic work that prec…
Shell on Earth
Archaeological studies of North American shell middens have recently highlighted Native societies’ impacts on marine and estuarine waterscapes. Middens containing deposits of oyster shell (Crassostrea virginica) reveal histories of subsistence, settlement mobility, resource decline, and the long-term sustainability of fisheries. In this case study, we bring to the fore another important aspect of precolonial oyster exploitation: the habitat from …
Methods for inferring oyster mariculture on Florida's Gulf Coast
Keeping Pace With Rising Sea
Low-gradient coastlines are susceptible to inundation by rising water, but they also promote marsh aggradation that has the potential to keep pace with sea-level rise. Synergies among hydrodynamics, coastal geomorphology, and marsh ecology preclude a simple linear relationship between higher water and shoreline transgression. As an archive of human use of low-gradient coastlines, archaeological data introduce additional mitigating factors, such a…
