As one of the many popular diving spots in Northwest Florida, divers have been visiting the site of the San Pablo for decades.  Little was known about the vessel's history until recent research revealed the large, steel-hulled freighter was sunk in a top secret OSS operation known as Project Campbell.  The project involved the development of a disguised, remote-controlled vessel carrying explosives capable of attacking and sinking enemy vessels, and it was intended to be deployed during the...

Since 2011, the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) has partnered with the National Park Service staff at Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) to develop and implement a public program called Tour de Fort.  This guided bicycling tour was created by FPAN with the goal to promote the public appreciation for the many terrestrial and underwater archaeological resources located within the GUIS Fort Pickens Area. Additionally, from the beginning this program set out to enhance heritage tourism...

Digital technologies are creating new ways to record, interpret, and present archaeological data.  GIS and other technologies have long been part of the approach to field recording and data management for the Jamestown Rediscovery project, which has been ongoing since 1994. With approximately 80% of the original 3-sided fort excavated to date, the timing is opportune for exploring new approaches, like 3D modeling, for analyzing and interpreting James Fort. Creating 3D models of the site will...

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2020, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) started planning for the state’s 76th state park focused on the late-eighteenth-century Shawnee town of Chillicothe on the Little Miami River. ODNR was committed to working collaboratively with the three Shawnee Nations to design the park and its interpretive content. Over the last two...

The discovery of a hitherto undocumented massacre site has prompted a radical reinterpretation of the French & Indian War in northeastern Pennsylvania.  Following the extermination of the missionary populations at Gnadenhutten and Dansbury, this third massacre of Moravian women and children has established a pattern best explained in the context of a Delaware Indian/Moravian "religious war" whose proximate cause can be traced to the earthquake of 18 November 1755 – the single largest earthquake...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Comparative Perspectives on European Colonization in the Americas: Papers in Honor of Réginald Auger" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1686, while in an attempt to rendezvous with René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, Henri de Tonti established the "Poste de Arkansea" at the Quapaw village of Osotouy. Garrisoned by a handful of adventurers, the Arkansas Post was the first ‘semi-permanent’ French...

Hierarchical, capitalist society, though inherently domineering and oppressive, creates spaces for self-actualization. These spaces, most often transitory and short-lived, allow for a degree of class-based self-liberation. Using ideas from anarchist thinkers, I explore the concept of self-liberation with specific reference to two archaeological sites: the seventeenth-century maroon community of Palmares in northeast Brazil, and a nineteenth-century tenant-farming community in central Ireland...

Discovery of a small Muskogee-tradition component at site 1BA664, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in Orange Beach, Alabama, is tentatively identified as a fishing and hunting camp of the Towasas, radiocarbon dated to ca. 1700. Propelled westward by British and Creek slaving raids in 1705 that destroyed their towns in north Florida, the Towasas have never before been linked to an archaeological site assemblage. Artifacts from site 1BA664 suggest minimal acquisition of European technology, despite...

The Louisa McWorter home site provides a rare opportunity to explore social dynamics and community relations within the 19th century integrated town of New Philadelphia, Illinois. Louisa, an African-American woman freed from slavery as a child, married one of the sons of town founders Frank and Lucy McWorter. Widowed early in her marriage, Louisa became legal head of household and owner of multiple lots in New Philadelphia as well as several hundred acres of farmland. My historical and...

Chartered in 1789 and enrolling students in 1795, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of three schools that claims the title of oldest public university in the United States. Despite this storied history, relatively little is known about the lives of antebellum university and Chapel Hill residents, particularly archaeologically. In October 2011, contractors excavated a trench around the Battle, Vance, and Pettigrew buildings at UNC. In the process, they exposed archaeological...

The Town of Jay, located in Northwest Florida, is seemingly typical of a small agricultural community in this region; however this community’s connections to various individuals and entities, including the Panton, Leslie and Co.Trading Company, provide a unique glimpse into early settlement patterns in North Florida. A team of archaeologists and historians worked together to record all historic properties. Local informants with long-standing connections to the community, including individuals of...

This resource contains a township and range map of the Salamonie Reservoir, Indiana, printed in February 1981. This map is part of the Salamonie Reservoir Maps N.D collection that consists of oversized maps of the Salamonie Reservoir within the Huntington and Wabash Counties, Indiana. The collection was received without any association to a particular investigation. The date of this image was not recorded. This is likely due to the documents’ large size and cartographic contents.

This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Lindenwood University has recovered children’s toys from several sites on Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri.  While not high in number, the types of toys have raised some questions as to why the excavations have located certain toy types and not others.  Is it due to purposeful/accidental deposition, or maybe socio/economic factors?  This paper will...

Identifying historically documented ethnic groups in the archaeological record benefits from pragmatic approaches to material culture studies and regional-scale analyses of interaction. Ongoing investigations of the dispersal and migration of Huron-Wendat and other Indigenous peoples of eastern North America as an outcome of colonialism in 17th century are applying archaeometric analysis methods to glass trade beads to trace population movements and exchange networks. Chemical elements calcium,...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. By the dawn of the eighteenth century, Native Americans in the Southeast (and beyond) had already grown accustomed to items of European manufacture. Of these goods, firearms were undoubtedly the most consequential. The earliest guns given or traded to native peoples were not specifically manufactured for this purpose; however, by this period, England had begun producing muskets according...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. An archaeological perspective on trade and industry in urban Nebraska has not yet been well defined. Comparative analyses of several collections excavated on the present-day University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus have begun to reveal the intricacies of local industry in conjunction with larger national trends. These collections give us a glimpse into life within the developing urban...

Enormous costs are involved in conducting deep-sea archaeological fieldwork, proper conservation, research and curation of recovered artifacts, followed by publication of the results. With governments facing a dire economic outlook, where will the funding come from to excavate shipwreck sites before they are destroyed by natural and manmade forces?   To help finance projects, Odyssey proposes a model whereby science and commerce are compatible, with the goal of preserving underwater cultural...

In 1783, following the American Revolution, the British government resettled thousands of Loyalists throughout the Bahamas. The mostly American-born Loyalists brought in captivity, a large population of American-born African descent peoples and were given Bahamian land grants to establish a cotton plantation economy. Cotton never faired well and most plantations shifted toward subsistence activities and basic needs until slavery ended in 1838.  Although former plantation owners and emancipated...
