Hurricane Irma ......... 14 We thank the recent leadership of the interest group for their Recent Publications ..... 15 past service and are grateful for their continued support as Submission members. We would also like to extend a big thank you to Instructions.................. 78 Kristina Douglass for her service to The Current. Kristina joined Christina Giovas as co-editor of the The Current in 2016 and ensured that the newsletter continued to be an important forum for sharing research and other news. 1 From the compiled list of 678 entries in the "Recent Publications" section, it is clear that island and coastal archeologists have been actively engaged in the dissemination of new data. Although there are several new books, most of these come in the form of articles in peer- reviewed journals. Since the publication of the last issue of the Current, 72 new island and coastal papers have been published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports alone, showing this importance of this relatively new publication in dissemination of new island and coastal research. Quaternary International (47 new papers), Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (31 new papers) and Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology (29 new papers) also had very strong showings. As a group, we publish in a diversity of journals in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, but broad archaeology journals remain our bread and butter. In the Publications section, we have included a graphic showing how many papers were published in each of the journals represented, and we are aiming to develop more detailed analyses for future editions. As always, please continue to send us your new publications. While we do not rely exclusively on sources sent to us by our members, for each and every issue, we always receive at least one member submission from a journal that we missed in our biannual literature review. This helps to provide publicity for your new publications and assists us in putting together a more thorough bibliography each cycle. Recent documentation of ancient artificial islands located off the Scottish coast attest to the antiquity of human impacts on coastal ecosystems, and recent analysis of damage patterns in sea otter shell middens in California give a useful reminder that coastal material records are rich amalgams of traces of past animal behavior. Research also continues to highlight the ways in which the land and ocean can constrain life in coastal environments. This is perhaps best illustrated in a recent study that links catastrophic landslides on Stromboli with the devastation of ports in Naples in AD 1343 and in another study that links a 14th century precursor to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami to the devastation of a series of communities along the northern coast of Sumatra. Such research enriches our understanding for the past and provides important context for current decision making that involves development and heritage protection programs. For example, groups involved with the Interreg Europe project CHERISH work for the preservation of coastal cultural heritage, which has recognized value for promoting sustainable industry and marine conservation. Recently, members of CHERISH worked with local authorities and businesses in Mallorca to develop strategies to prevent the loss of traditional trades and curb sea pollution, with citizens of Alto Minho, Portugal to preserve traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) regarding the use of Sargasso seaweed fertilizer, and with fishermen and policymakers in Riga, Latvia to use TEK while fighting for small scale fishing opportunities. Coastal archaeology must continue to inform such efforts to promote sustainable coastal industries, and all citizens who consume marine resources in the U.S. can support sustainable fisheries by following updated guidelines from organizations such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch. 2 As always, we welcome your research updates and announcements for conferences and symposia relevant to the ICA community for inclusion in the newsletter! In particular, many thanks to Dani Buffa for her contribution on Madagascar shell beads, Dylan Davis for his predictive modelling article, Jayur Mehta for his update on eroding shell mounds in Louisiana, and Brittany Mistretta for her note about CT scanning a shell offering in the Virgin Islands. The next deadline for The Current will be December 1st. Please contribute by contacting us at our new e-mail address, [email protected]. Reecie Levin, Sean Hixon, and Jon Hanna Co-Editors, The Current e-Communities: Website: https://ecommerce.saa.org/saa/Member/ Member_Center_Login_AUTH/e- https://ica.uoregon.edu/ Communities/SAAMember/Members_Only/ Communities/CommunitiesList.aspx Facebook: Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ https://twitter.com/ICArchaeology 182934771769018/ 3 Minutes from the ICA Meeting in Albuquerque The 2019 meeting of the Island and Coastal Interest Group was held on Friday April 12, 2019 during the 84th Meetings of the SAA in Albuquerque, NM. Prior to the meeting, former executives Victor Thompson and Scott Fitzpatrick stepped down and appointed Justin Cramb and Isabelle Lulewicz as the new President and Vice President, respectively. Following a call in the previous Current, Jonathan Hanna has joined the editorial team, filling the seat vacated by Kristina Douglass. A reoccurring topic the past few years has been whether we should charge a nominal fee for membership, as many Interest Groups do. This would allow funding for a student grant, poster prizes, and/or group outings. We took an informal vote, and all were in favor of no more than a $3 fee. Justin and Isabelle will look into how the ICA group might begin doing this. We also formulated the position of Social Media Manager, for which Brittany Mistretta of the University of Florida volunteered. Shortly after the meeting, Brittany set up the ICA group's Twitter handle: @ICArchaeology (https://twitter.com/ICArchaeology). Finally, we discussed the goals of the ICA group, which include planning group outings, promoting research opportunities (including a field school list on the website), enhancing the website, and increasing our advocacy about issues such as the threat that climate change poses to heritage sites in island and coastal settings. If members are interested in leading any of these efforts or would like to suggest other goals, please email us at [email protected] or send us a message on Facebook. 4 Meetings, Announcements, and Calls for Papers The Society for American Archaeology 85th Annual Meeting, Austin, TX, USA – April 22 - 26, 2020 https://www.saa.org/annual-meeting Following the success of the 2014 SAA meetings in Austin, the SAA contracted with the same vendors to return in 2020. Presentation submissions are due by 3pm EST on Thursday, September 5, 2019. Note that there are new attendance requirements— members must now certify they have never been the subject of a negative Title IX investigation nor received disciplinary action from the RPA grievance investigation.

IF INTERESTED, PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] The Island and Coastal Archaeology Interest Group meeting time and place will be announced early next year.

The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have
