"Washington Began To Make The Highways Around Philadelphia So Unsafe With Parties From His Fortified Camp:" The Strategic Importance Of The Valley Forge Winter Encampment—A Historical, Archaeological, And Landscape Perspective (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jesse A West-Rosenthal.

The now infamous site of the Valley Forge winter encampment consists of the location where roughly 12,000 soldiers of the Continental Army camped during the winter of 1777-1778. Valley Forge is located just twenty miles northwest of Philadelphia. This position enabled the Continental Army to be close enough to the city to maintain pressure on the occupying British forces as well as being far enough away in a high-ground position just outside the city to avoid the immediate threat of attack....

Washington's Board of Public Works and the Burial of Herring Hill in Georgetown, District of Columbia (An Archaeology of Municipal Infrastructure). (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Palus.

A dramatic investment in the infrastructure of Georgetown followed the establishment of a single municipal government for the City of Washington in 1871, and the abolishment of Georgetown’s charter as an independent municipality. Establishing new street grades in this context resulted in the near-burial of homes in an African-American section of Georgetown called Herring Hill, which became an unofficial dump for fill excavated during infrastructure work. Beginning in February 2011, The District...

Water and Wood Landings can leave a Mark: Ship Graffiti as Evidence of Visitation to Cocos Island, Costa Rica (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jason, T. Raupp. Omar Fernández López. Annie Wright.

With the rounding of Cape Horn in the late eighteenth century, pelagic whalers forever altered the landscape of the Pacific Ocean. The vast whale populations they found led to an exponential growth in ships exploiting the rich hunting grounds and exploring for sources of fresh food, water, and firewood. Locations of islands offering reprovisioning opportunities spread among whalers and visits were incorporated into seasonal movements. One such place that became well known for abundant sources...

Water At Montpelier: Creating And Controlling A 19th Century Plantation Landscape (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica G Moses.

In the early 19th century, James Madison's plantation in Orange County, VA was undergoing a number of dramatic changes as the house and grounds were extensively modified. At some point during this period, an unusually complex water supply system was constructed in what is now called the South Yard, an area near the main house where enslaved families lived and worked. This paper examines the evidence for this system, along with other water sources within the formal grounds, to consider not only...

"The Water Was Let into the Pipes and Conveyed into the Town…": Wells, Chamber Pots, and Municipal Water in 19th Century Alexandria, VA (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kara J Wheeler.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Plumbing and sanitation were major health concerns for people during the 19th century. Inadequate sanitation practices caused an increased risk of disease and illness, especially in densely populated areas. Outbreaks of disease, such as the cholera outbreak in 1832, spread quickly, particularly in a port city such as Alexandria, VA where ships carrying goods might also be harboring...

Waterlogged Textile Conservation (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lindsey M Howell Franklin.

This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Waterlogged textiles are a wealth of information in a very fragile package. Myriad studies have been conducted to determine appropriate conservation techniques. This poster provides a review of suggested conservation techniques and includes an analysis of those techniques that are most effective with respect to a sample’s color,...

The Waters Around You Have Grown: Discovering Staten Island's Past through Protecting its Future (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only A. Michael Pappalardo.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Heritage at Risk: Shifting Responses from Reactive to Proactive" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Located at the tip of the New York Bight, Staten Island suffered more direct damage from Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge than any other NYC borough. In response, the Living Breakwaters Project calls for a series of house-sized concrete blocks strategically placed offshore to reduce wave energy, promote calm water,...

Way Hay and Up She Rises: The Recovery, Conservation, and Documentation of a Historic Admiralty Anchor from the Gulf of Mexico (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John R. Bratten. Christopher Horrell.

In 2013, a historic anchor was recovered from the Gulf of Mexico by a contractor working for an offshore energy operator. Because the operator failed to notify the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) of the discovery, the operator was in violation of regulations protecting submerged archaeological resources. A compromise was reached between the bureau and the operator resulting in the transportation of the anchor to the University of West Florida (UWF) for conservation and...

"We can do better, we have to do better": Reevaluating and Remounting a Traveling Exhibit (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth Pruitt. Stefan F. Woehlke.

When approaching the evolving horizons of interpretation and presentation, it is important to reevaluate our own efforts. In 2013, archaeologists from the University of Maryland mounted an exhibit based on their research at the Wye House Plantation. The exhibit ran at a museum in a nearby town. It was a culmination of years of excavation and cultivating relationships with descendants. Despite the archaeologists' efforts, the exhibit fell short of their goals. This prompted reflection and...

"We Commenced Replying to a Battery of the Enemy": Locating Turner’s (C.S.A.) Artillery at the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, 8 October 1862 (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian Mabelitini. Scott Clark.

The October 1862 Battle of Perryville was the largest engagement fought in the state of Kentucky during the American Civil War. Although inconclusive, the battle was largely considered to be both a tactical victory for the Confederacy and a strategic victory for the Union. Smith’s Mississippi Battery (C.S.A.), under the command of Lieut. William B. Turner, would play a crucial role in the Confederate advance. Historical documents indicate that Smith’s (Turner’s) battery engaged Union forces from...

"We dined with him that day...in the French Manner": Food, identity, and politics in the Mississippi Valley (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James A. Nyman.

Located on the frontier of the French Louisiana colony in the Mississippi Valley, early 18th century colonial fortresses were centers of intercultural exchange and negotiation between the French inhabitants and the powerful indigenous nations they lived among. This paper examines animal remains and ceramic artifacts recovered from colonial outposts dating to this period. Faunal artifacts and locally made colonoware vessels recovered from these sites provides strong evidence of the intimate...

"We have done very little investigation there; there is a great deal yet to do": The changing historic landscape of George Washington’s Mount Vernon. (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Luke Pecoraro.

For several decades, the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association (MVLA) has used the benchmark year of 1799 for landscape interpretation within the estate’s historic core. Efforts to restore the grounds and dependencies have been a paramount concern, but elements such as a colonial revival garden (1930s), relic house (1928), and porters’ lodges (c. 1818) survive. Along with these features, different generations of historic plantings of trees and shrubberies and associated gravel pathways exist from the...
