Additional Slave Settlements at Cannon’s Point Plantation (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Enslavement" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Thanks to a recent clear cutting approach to eliminating stands of pine-beetle-infested trees at Cannon’s Point Plantation, St. Simons Island, Georgia, an additional slave cabin settlement has been identified. A systematic survey was carried out at the site by the University of Tennessee during the summer of 2018, resulting in the recovery of domestic...

Admiring the Hush Arbor: Confronting Slavery in the American South (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Public and Our Communities: How to Present Engaging Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In March 2017, the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) North Central regional office created a new public program called "Admiring the Hush Arbor." A hush arbor was a meeting place, usually secret, that took place outdoors where enslaved African-Americans practiced religious traditions and served as a framework...
aDNA in Historical Archaeology As A Tool For The Mitigation Of Climate Change Hazards (2016)
The study of aDNA has become a highly productive avenue of study in Archaeolgoy, though perhaps less so in Historical Archaeology. This paper discusses a project in which aDNA from historic sites is being used to address many important issues typically approached by Historical Archaeology. Yet this project goes further in two specific ways. First this project intends to map and when possible isolate genetic variation that has been lost in modern day domesitc animals but that can still be found...
The Adoption of the Bow and Arrow in Eastern North America: A View from Central Arkansas (1999)
J. Whittaker: Regional survey of small point (= arrow) replacement of large points indicates likely earlier than previously thought - perhaps as early as 3000 BC in central plains with unifacial arrow points. Then some areas gradual transition with decrease in size of dart points, and transitional forms. In AR, abrupt introduction of arrow shown by bimodality of metric traits and different form of large and small points, and by different manufacture techniques, but long period of overlap,...
Adult Skeletal Inventory Sheet, Eroding Burial 1, Eroding Burials of Site 46SU3 2012 (2012)
Burial 46SU3 was an eroding burial at the Baker's Bottomsite excavated on March 13, 1989 by Robert Maslowski. The skeletal material was washed and sent to the WVU School of Medicine for analysis. The material originally sent lacked the cranium, dentition, cervical vertebrae and left scapula. Dr. Maslowski indicated that he had learned that Dave Dobbins had recovered a skull and other material exposed by erosion the previous Fall at the same location. This material was subsequently also sent to...
Advances In Laboratory and Field Use Of Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) and LASAR ABLATION-ICPMS (LA-ICP-MS) Technologies In Field Archaeological And Combined Survey Format (CSF) Surveys (2018)
Major advances in the Laboratory and Field Use of Portable X-Rarchaeologyay Fluorescence (pXRF) and the newly developed LASAR ABLATION ICP-MS (ICP-MS) in archaeology are enabling investigators to gain new insights into the elemental and chemical content of laboratory and field samples of artifact, soil and plant materials. Many of these advances have come directly from laboratory studies and field geochemical investigations initiatiated by mineral industry and governmental organizations and...

Advances in transportation during Nathan Harrison’s lifetime significantly impacted his activities and strategies on Palomar Mountain. The second industrial revolution, the arrival of the railroad in San Diego, and the county’s expansion of the road that...
Advances In the Uses of portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF). Laser Ablation Induced Polarization-Mass Spectrography (LAICP-MS) and Infrared Studies of Plants and Soils to Discover and Map Deeply Buried Human and Animal Remains from Conflict, Massacre and Habitation Sites. (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From the early work of Eiidt (!977) on the use of Phosphorous analyses to detect the lasting chemical signatures of human remains, human and animal waste in habitation sites, the use of the new (or relatively new to Archaeology) pXRF, LAICP-MS, PIMA and other IR methods to study the concentration of phosphorus in soils and plants over suspected conflict, massacre and habitation...
Advancing interpretation of USS Monitor through digital reconstruction (2017)
It can be difficult to interact with a large artifact actively undergoing conservation treatment and desalination. The artifact is almost constantly submerged in a treatment bath making it impossible or impractical for the archaeologist to study the particularities and imperfections of the object. This can postpone significant archaeological interpretation for years. By digitally reconstructing USS Monitor’s iconic gun turret, using photogrammetry and laser scanning, USS Monitor Center staff at...
Adventures in Archaeology: Summer 2019 Camp at the Forest Meeker Homestead (2020)

An Aerial Micro-Topographical Landscape Survey on Montserrat, West Indies (2017)
During the 2016 field season, the Survey and Landscape Archaeology on Montserrat (SLAM) project undertook an intensive micro-landscape survey of targeted areas within the northern and north-central regions of Montserrat. A mountainous, volcanic island of the Lesser Antilles situated within the southeastern Caribbean, pedestrian survey on Montserrat presents a particularly challenging set of logistical difficulties and calls for alternative strategies of data acquisition, especially the use of...
