This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2016, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) 's Okeanos Explorer mission to Wake Island investigated the site of a Japanese shipwreck they believed to be the destroyer Hayate. Utilizing a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the team instead discovered the site of Amakasu Maru No. 1. Sunk by USS Triton on 24 December 1942, Amakasu Maru No. 1 was a requisitioned water...

PROJECT Francis McManamon. Environmental Protection Agency.

This project includes archaeological data about the archaeological record of Rota Island, in the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia. Rota is located close to the better known and larger island of Guam.

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Francis McManamon

Beneath the surface in Songsong village, on the island of Rota, in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, archeological deposits hold artifacts, features, and other ancient remains that record the long occupation of the village. Three areas were excavated during the Songsong archeological project in the summer of 1987 each with deposits relating to three different prehistoric time periods. The archeological remains found in four of the five excavation blocks recovered prehistoric pottery,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 2023 NOAA Saipan project included a significant public outreach component. A major part of the grant focused on re-visiting sites included in the WWII Battle of Saipan Maritime Heritage Trail to conduct monitoring and update site plans. Since these sites first were documented to create the Trail in 2008,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. While shallow-water World War II underwater cultural heritage (UCH) related to the Battle of Saipan has been researched extensively, there is little known about deep-water UCH from the battle. During Ships of Discovery’s 2023 NOAA Saipan project, numerous methods were used for the location and identification of...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Applying the Power of Partnerships to the Search for America's Missing in Action", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2018 East Carolina University and Task Force Dagger Foundation partnered with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency to survey for lost WWII aircraft from the Battle for Saipan (1944). Under the direction of ECU archaeologists, a team of veterans from Task Force Dagger Foundation located a...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "From Whalers to World War II: Guam Underwater Archaeology", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2019, divers performed an initial assessment of a wooden-hulled shipwreck located during remote sensing operations in Apra Harbor, Guam. Historical research into the area suggested the site might represent the remains of the whaleship Asia, lost at Guam in 1856. Identified as a potentially significant historic site,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On 13 November 1942, a violent explosion engulfed USS Juneau (CL-52) and the ship seemed to vanish from sight. Catastrophically hit by torpedoes from Japanese submarine I-26, the ship sank in less than a minute with most of its 693 crewmen onboard. About 115 Sailors survived the sinking, but only 14 were rescued after days at sea....

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Although Equator was built as a two-masted schooner in 1888, it was significantly altered throughout its long career. In 1897, Equator was sold and converted to a steam tender: boilers and a steam engine were installed, the transom was rebuilt, and a new deckhouse was added with a pilot house and funnel atop. In 1915, a new engine...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Methods for Monitoring Heritage at Risk Sites in a Rapidly Changing Environment", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeologists have increasingly examined the natural forces that threaten submerged cultural heritage resources. For metallic sites, such as sunken steamships and aircraft, corrosion has garnered a considerable amount of this interest. While general corrosion resulting from exposure to seawater...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the fall of 2023, a NOAA-funded mission by the Ocean Exploration Trust and other partners conducted a series of telepresence-assisted remotely operated vehicle assessments of three sites from the pivotal WWII naval battle of Midway. The carriers USS Yorktown, HIJMS Akagi, and HIJMS Kaga, all previously...
