All of the Above: Public Archeology and Outreach at Independence National Historical Park (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeffrey Collins. Patrice L Jeppson. Jed Levin.

Public outreach has been part of the archeological research conducted by Independence National Historical Park since the inception of such studies more fifty years ago. These early efforts, by pioneers like Paul Schumacher, John Cotter, and Barbara Liggett at sites like Independence Square and Franklin Court, serve as the foundation for the park's current program of public archeology. Today, the practice of archeology in the park both serves and is shaped by diverse and distinct communities of...


All The Single Ladies: Queering Race In The 19th Century Through The Materiality of African-American Female-Headed Households (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Laurie A. Wilkie. Annelise E. Morris.

Unspoken in discussions of heteronormativity is not only the assumption that couples are straight, but also that they are white and middle class. Thus, by definition. as non-heteronormative households, black families can be considered queer. In this paper, we explore the ways that queer theory offers new intellectual opportunities and frameworks to explore archaeologies of race and racialization. Using case studies from 19th century Louisiana and Illinois, we will examine the households and...


All the Small Things: An Analysis of Small Finds at James Madison’s Montpelier Plantation (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeanne Higbee.

Over the past two decades, archaeology at Montpelier has provided a critical perspective into the lives of the enslaved individuals who lived and worked on the plantation. Excavations of the Montpelier Field Quarter and the South Yard have yielded a unique opportunity to further our understanding of the cultural impact on the landscape. Small finds, such as sewing and smoking implements are examples of important domestic artifacts found at many of these excavations. The proposed research will...


"All the Usual Improvements": Rediscovering the Plantation Landscape at James Monroe’s Highland (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kyle W. Edwards.

Unlike other Presidential plantations, archaeological research at Highland has been relatively limited. This, combined with a complex occupational history and sparse documentary records, has provided little evidence of the plantation landscape constructed by Monroe in 1799 or clues to how that landscape was reshaped by subsequent owners. However, spurred by the recent discovery of the original plantation house, ongoing archaeological survey is providing new insights into landscape organization...


"All The Usual Improvements": Understanding The Plantation Landscape At Ash Lawn-Highland (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kyle W. Edwards.

Much of the existing scholarship on Ash Lawn-Highland has focused upon President Monroe’s domestic and political life, but little is known about the day-to-day functioning of the plantation including agricultural production, land management strategies, and the lives of enslaved laborers. In some ways these aspects have been seen as peripheral to Monroe’s political ascendance; however, in 19th-century Virginia, the productive organization of the plantation was socially significant, communicating...


All the Vaults of the City Cemeteries are Piled High with Coffins: Discovering Victims of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Nonestied.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mortuary Monuments and Archaeology: Current Research" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A small plot of land in the southeast corner of Washington Monumental Cemetery was reputed to contain victims of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. In some respects, this area of the cemetery had characteristics of lots within Rural Cemeteries that were often located within the rear and reserved for those of less financial...


All the Yards a Market: Bones of Dissent and the Seed of Reproduction (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Justin E. Uehlein.

Subsistence gardening and animal rearing were as integral to the expansion of U.S. capitalism as the coal that fueled its development. Labor performed at the home provided an effective means of workforce reproduction without significant capital investment by elites while also providing an outlet for laborer resistance to company control. In particular, these skills aided the working-class during labor strikes and periods of unemployment. Working-class communities were paradoxically situated...


All Them Ditches: The Spanish Colonial Water Management System of San Antonio de Bexar (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Antonia L Figueroa.

Remnants of one of the largest and most extensive Spanish Colonial acequia water systems in the United States can be found in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Acequias contributed to the flourishing of the missions and colonial farming settlements in San Antonio de Bexar. This extensive system of ditches redirected water in various parts of present day Bexar County for agricultural and household purposes. At least six principal acequias and numerous secondary branches have been identified with...


All was left in complete order: a first look at the wreck of HMS Erebus (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan Harris.

From the outset, remote-sensing data clearly indicated that the wreck of HMS Erebus survived in remarkably sound condition, a fact later borne out by first-hand diver inspection. This owes to the relatively benign physical environment in which the wreck is situated, its rather atypical site formation history, as well as the elaborate measures taken by Master Shipwrights of the Royal Navy Dockyards to fortify Erebus for Arctic Service. This paper will provide an overview, both internally...


Allensworth: An Archaeological Exploration of Health Management (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexis N. Francois.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "California: Post-1850s Consumption and Use Patterns in Negotiated Spaces" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The spirit of revolution and survivance has become a core tenet in the fabric of American history, exponentially so within the African American community. After the dissolution of the Reconstruction Era, African Americans were faced with the legislative and social constraints of the Jim Crow Era, which...

All’s Well That Ends Well: The Re-Examination of Drayton Hall’s South Flanker Well (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Stroud.

Drayton Hall was established by John Drayton in 1738 to operate as the home seat at the center of his vast commercial plantation network in Charleston, SC. Upon obtaining ownership of Drayton Hall in 1974, the National Trust for Historic Preservation initiated archaeological excavations to expose evidence of the plantation’s eighteenth and nineteenth century activities and residents. The 1975 excavations uncovered a well just south of the South Flanker building. The wood-lined well was excavated...


Alone in the Deep Blue Sea: A comparison of Indonesian Colonial Period nutmeg plantations and New World plantations (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Amy Jordan.

Plantations on the nutmeg-bearing Banda Islands are contemporaneous with early North American plantations and are an excellent place to investigate cross-cultural responses to colonialism. The Banda Islands were the world’s sole source of nutmeg in the 16th century and control over this spice was a major goal for European powers during the Age of Expansion. Consequently, the Banda Islands were the location of early experiments in colonialism by European powers and can provide information for...


An Alpine Archaeological Landscape in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Wyoming (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lawrence Todd. Rachel Reckin. Emily Brush. Robert Kelly. William Dooley.

The alpine archaeological record above 3000m of Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has received much less research attention than the adjacent plains, basins, and foothills. We have been working in an area of NW Wyoming where dense surface stone tool scatters, stone features (including some of the highest elevation habitation stone circles in the region) are associated with dwindling ice patches that have yielded both perishable artifactual material and an array of wood and bone that provides...


Alsatian Foodways in 19th Century Texas: A Faunal Analysis of Remains from the Biry House Excavations (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Heather L Seltzer.

The Jacob Biry House in Castroville, Texas was a multi-generational household occupied by Alsatian immigrants and their descendant community. The faunal remains from one feature, a lime slaking pit, were analyzed to determine the subsistence practices and foodways of Alsatian descendants who occupied the house in the 1920s. The specimens were analyzed and compared to Binghamton University’s comparative collection and published zooarchaeological texts to identify species and elements. Techniques...


Alternative Methods To Using Sucrose In Wood Conservation (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brittaney London.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In recent years, conservators have identified risks associated with the use of sucrose as a bulking agent for waterlogged wood. These include shrinkage, color change, failure to support highly degraded wood, and difficulty in detecting microbial bacteria. Experiments are planned to test the results of conservation on wood samples recovered from a Spanish colonization vessel (Emanuel Point...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel Koski-Karell.

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The disappearance of the famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan during an attempted around-the-world flight in 1937 remain a compelling mystery. In March 2018, news media worldwide proclaimed that a new analysis of human remains found on Nikumaroro Island in the Pacific shows with ostensible 99% certainty that they were Earhart's. This...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel Battle.

One of America's bloodiest Revolutionary War Battlefields remained lost and poorly understood until recently. The use of LiDAR mapping and terrain analysis, metal detection, and cadaver dogs, characteristics of a complicated battlefield environ revealed themselves. The Battle of Brier Creek, Screven County, Georgia was the first open land engagement of the British Southern Winter Campaign of 1778-1779. It was also the first Patriot offensive in the South against an overwhelming British force...
