  The Upper Delmarva Peninsula was a region on the periphery of military activity during the American Revolution. For a short time in 1777 the area witnessed some troop movements and experienced the effects of invasion and war. The longer lasting impact on the region was the constant need for foodstuffs and materiél required of the fledging American nation. With no strong logistical system, state and national governments called on their civilian population to fill the void. While the 1777...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The intent of this presentation is to compare patterns of violence on human skeletal remains recovered from archaeological sites in the San Juan Basin associated with Chaco Canyon and the Mimbres region in the US Southwest. The Chaco sites date to AD 850–1300, while the Mimbres sites date to AD 650–1300. Bioarchaeological signatures of violence on the...

While the location of the engagement between HMS Nimble and Guerrero is generally known as Carysfort Reef, the historic delineation of this particular reef is not well defined, leaving the precise location of the wrecking event a mystery. Historical evidence provides insight into a possible archaeological signature of the series of mishaps immediately following the wrecking of Guerrero that may provide clues to its exact location. While previous research has focused south of Biscayne National...

Archaeological resources in the coastal zone are subjected to a variety of cultural, social, and environmental conditions that affect the resources’ stability, which can be defined in physical (e.g. structure, geophysical environment), socio-cultural (e.g. looting, vandalism), and regulatory (e.g. federal, state, and local mandates) terms. To effectively manage resources within this dynamic environment requires a holistic understanding of what drives stability (or instability) at each site. The...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Considering Frontiers Beyond the Romantic: Spaces of Encroachment, Innovation, and Far Reaching Entanglements" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The midwestern “frontier” of the United States formed and was transformed by the lead mining rush of the nineteenth century. Dependent on the volatile market for and production of lead and shaped by the diversely positioned tastes, practices and motivations of the...

Since 2008 the Institute for Maritime History (IMH) has supported a research project at the confluence of the St. Marys and Potomac rivers. This area is the suspected locus of Lord Dunmore’s scuttled fleet from 1776. As the last British colonial governor of Virginia, Dunmore fled the colony with a flotilla of loyalists, soldiers, and sailors. Aboard the civilian fleet, guarded by Royal Navy sloops and a frigate, Dunmore unsuccessfully attempted to restore order to an unravelling colony. After...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Community Archaeology in 2020: Conventional or Revolutionary?" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As archaeologists, we believe and hope that our work with and on behalf of communities with ties to the sites we study makes a positive difference in those communities' lives. Sometimes those impacts can be difficult to discern in a tangible way. In 2012, residents of The Hill neighborhood in Easton, Maryland, and...

Tobacco houses and barns – specialized agricultural buildings for curing and storing tobacco -- were common features upon the Chesapeake region’s landscape throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.  Each plantation or farm had at least one, and depending on its size, potentially more than one.  Today, colonial-era tobacco houses are all but extinct in the region, leaving the archaeological record as a principal source on these one-time ubiquitous structures.  Drawing upon excavation...

The Naval History and Heritage Command established an archaeological research permitting program in 2000 by federal regulation 32 CFR 767 and in 2015, revised that program pursuant to the Sunken Military Craft Act. The U.S. Navy’s sunken military craft, in addition to their historical value, are often considered war graves, may carry classified information or materials, or contain environmental or public safety hazards. Accordingly, the Department of the Navy prefers non-intrusive research on...

During the second half of the nineteenth century thousands of travelers embarked on voyages aboard steamships headed for San Francisco that could last weeks or months. In the past decade, William Self Associates has conducted multiple excavations within Yerba Buena Cove that have yielded an abundance of archaeological materials. This paper focuses on dinnerware pieces excavated from domestic privies dating to the 1870s that were originally utilized for meals aboard vessels of the Pacific Mail...

In 2015, we participated in an artist residency in Tokyo. Working collaboratively, we embarked on a photography-based project that explores the use of tape in Tokyo subway stations. Among other functions, the tape is used to provide direction for passengers, mark borders, and instruct construction crews. Contrasting other collaborative work, the art led the project. The culmination of this project was an exhibition in Tokyo in 2016. This paper will reflect on the Tokyo Tape Project and the roles...

Cemetery studies have been an important minor chord in historical archaeology since the discipline came of age in the 1960s.  Generations of students have learned about seriation by reading Deetz and Dethlefsen’s seminal works on colonial New England tombstones (A project  where Bob assisted with the fieldwork).  More recently, many other historical archaeologists: Baugher, Brown, Cippolla, Crowell, Heinrich Mackie, Mytum, Stone, Tarlowe, and this author, have trod in this same well-worn...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The indigenous Chumash people of the Santa Barbara coast relied heavily upon the wealth of maritime resources that the Santa Barbara Channel provided. In order to access these vast resources, the use of advanced sewn vessels known as tomol, were of inestimable importance to the formation and continuation of their complex society. By synthesizing different lines of evidence,...

This is an abstract from the "Health and Inequality in the Archaeological Record" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Excavations at Hollywood Plantation, a 19th century plantation in southeast Arkansas, resulted in thousands of fragments of medicine bottles. From tonics increasingly marketed to women to bitters and syrups produced to treat all types of ailments, patent medicine bottles provide a lens into changing ideas about health and healing and...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeological Research of the 17th Century Chesapeake" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The excavation of a newly discovered earthfast structure in St. Mary’s City involved the careful dissection of numerous overlapping post holes. The complexity of this structure was largely due to multiple replacement posts cutting through earlier posts. This 60 foot by 20 foot structure likely dates to the third quarter...
