The survey's goal was to investigate whether sexual harassment had occurred among its members, and if so, to document the rate and demographics of harassment. Our findings include a high (66%) level of harassment, primarily among women, with an additional 13% of respondents reporting sexual assault. This article provides an overview of the survey and responses. Additionally, we analyze survey data aimed at capturing change over time in harassment and assault, correlation between field and non-field tasks and harassment and assault, and correlation between gender of supervisor and harassment and assault. We also discuss the effects of harassment and assault on careers. We conclude with suggestions for decreasing the rate of harassment and assault and urge professional archaeological organizations to document sexual harassment and assault to mitigate the effec...

This article presents information on the early Late Woodland component at the Jackson Landing site, a large site with a platform mound and semicircular earthwork, located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Earlier research is synthesized with more recent investigations of the mound to argue that the site’s monuments were built during the early Late Woodland period between approximately A.D. 400 to 700. Determining when Jackson Landing’s monuments were built is important because their construction provides a temporal baseline for regional and, perhaps, interregional social integration along the central Gulf Coast.

Possible functions are discussed for vessel types, and broad distinctions are made regarding vessels that possibly were used for cooking, serving and eating, or storage. The composition of the overall vessel assemblage at Town Creek indicates that it is generally comparable with other Mississippian assemblages. A consideration of the distribution of vessel types by context allows some insights into the association of different activities with different parts of the Mississippian community at Town Creek, namely, that the mound area was associated with distinctive vessel assemblages.

Town Creek’s occupational history suggests that its Mississippian community consisted of multiple, discrete household groups, and that these groups were important throughout the center’s existence. Analyses of architectural, mortuary, and ceramic data indicate that Town Creek began as a town with a substantial domestic population, but it evolved into more of a vacant center later in time. This decline in domestic population coincided with significant evidence for site-wide ritual activity that included the construetion of a platform mound and the use of cemeteries in former house locations. Parallels between the small center at Town Creek and some of the largest Mississippian centers, especially the persistence of household-group spaces and an emphasis on ritual activities ...

Goals of the survey were to identify frequency and types of sexual harassment in field situations and identify consequences of such incidences for perpetrators and victims. Specifically, the survey was designed to identify if victims of sexual harassment had suffered adverse affects to their career. This poster presents preliminary results of the survey and identifies ways to decrease sexual harassment incidents in the field, including education, communication, examination of field and field house practices, and the use of a conduct code in the field.

En 2014, la Conferencia Arqueológica del Sureste (SEAC, por sus siglas en inglés) realizó una encuesta de sus miembros sobre acoso sexual. El objetivo de la encuesta fue investigar si los miembros de la SEAC habían sufrido formas de acoso sexual y, de ser así, documentar la tasa y los indicadores demográficos de quienes habían sufrido acoso. Nuestros hallazgos incluyen un alto nivel de acoso (66%), principalmente dirigido a mujeres; además, un 13% reportó casos de asalto sexual. Este artículo proporciona una síntesis de la encuesta y las respuestas. Además, analizamos los datos de la encuesta para detectar cambios a través del tiempo en la ocurrencia de casos de acoso y asalto sexual y correlaciones del tipo de tarea (trabajo de campo o no de campo) y género del supervisor con la frecuencia de acoso o asalto sexual. Discutimos los efectos del acoso y asalto sexual para las carreras profesionales. Concluimos con algunas sugerencias para disminuir la tasa de acoso y asalto sexual, y recomendamos que las organizaciones arqueológicas profesionales documenten el acoso y asalto sexual con el fin de mitigar las consecuencias para sus miembros y la disciplina en su totalidad.

Diagnostic Paleoindian/Early archaic flaked stone artifacts recovered include Dalton, Jude, and Big sandy point types. While pottery was recovered from all of the units excavated, Feature 2 within unit N548E393 contained the highest denisty of pottery found in the units excavated during the field school. The soil horizons identified during the 2017 investigations were comparable to those reported by Brookes (1979). The diagnostic Paleoindian/Early Archaic artifacts were recovered from the dark, reddish-brown soil horizon.Three pit features were identified during the 2017 excavations at Hester. Unfortunately, the dark soils at Hester made the identification of subsurface features difficult to identify, but once recognized, the features were bisected and sediment samples, along with charcoal samples, were collected for flotation and further analysis. Magnetic gradiometry results from August 2016 at Hester showing the possible locations of the 1974 trench and 1978 excavation block Abstract: Archaeological sites in the Southeastern United States with Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene occupations are rare. Previous excavations by Sam Brookes at the Hester Site (22MO569) revealed a site containing Paleoindian/Early Archaic deposits. The 2017 Mississippi State University excavation field school identified a buried soil containing Paleoindian/Early Archaic diagnostic flaked stone tools, including Dalton, Jude, and Big Sandy point types. This poster presents preliminary results of the excavation and analyses to identify post-depositional processes that may have affected the site.

was to investigate whether sexual harassment had occurred among its members, and if so, to document the rate and demographics of
harassment. Our findings include a high (66%) level of harassment, primarily among women, with an additional 13% of respondents
reporting sexual assault. This article provides an overview of the survey and responses. Additionally, we analyze survey data aimed at
capturing change over time in harassment and assault, correlation between field and non-field tasks and harassment and assault, and
correlation between gender of supervisor and harassment and assault. We also discuss the effects of harassment and assault on careers.
We conclude with suggestions for decreasing the rate of harassment and assault and urge professional archaeological organizations to
document sexual harassment and assault to mitigate the effects on their members and on the discipline as a whole.
