This is an abstract from the session entitled "Roads, Rivers, Rails and Trails (and more): The Archaeology of Linear Historic Properties" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Homestake Aqueduct (39LA2057) in Lawrence County, South Dakota is a pipeline constructed by the Homestake Mining Company to transfer water from Spearfish Creek to the mines and mills of the Lead-Deadwood area. This predominately subterranean system was likely started in 1879 and...
Homestead-Era (ca. 1887-1942) Subsistence on the Pajarito Plateau, New Mexico (2018)
Beginning in the 1880s, Hispanic- and Euro-American homesteaders expanded onto the Pajarito Plateau in northern New Mexico. While journals and documentary accounts from visitors and descendants provide insight into the everyday livelihood of these farmers and ranchers, few studies have investigated their shared experience based on examination of physical remains. In this zooarchaeological analysis we identify and quantify the animal remains from several homesteader cabin sites at Los Alamos...
Homosocial Bonding in the Brothel: Analyzing Space and Material Culture through Documents (2016)
Brothel madams were often responsible for managing their establishments and the women who lived and worked in them. Unsurprisingly, "female boarding houses," the euphemism often used for such sites on historic maps, have typically been gendered as female spaces. On the other hand, saloons tend to be thought of as male spaces despite the presence of prostitution in most of these businesses. This paper will begin to argue that a rethinking of space and gender in regards to brothels will provide...
Honey Creek Area 1978
The USACE, Louisville District obtained the Honey Creek, 1978 collection through an intensive systematic subsurface investigation to determine the presence of buried archaeological sites. The report, entitled Intensive Subsurface Proposal Survey for Buried Cultural Resources at the American Electric Power Generating Facility Rockport, Indiana; June 1978, detailed the machine assisted auguring of bore holes and their subsequent inspection for cultural indicators. This report documents multiple...
Honing an Integrated Approach to Geoarchaeological Research in Alluvial Environments of the Lower Ohio River Valley (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Identification and interpretation of buried cultural deposits in alluvial settings is improved by an integrated approach that considers the area at an appropriate scale in line with prehistoric land use; applies key underlying concepts; and utilizes multiple methodologies of subsurface investigation, laboratory analysis, and environmental modeling. Success at...

Hopewellian Meteoric Iron Use: An Experimental Approach for Exploring Production and Function (2023)
This is an abstract from the "From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal: Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers in North America" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Hopewell artisans were innovative and highly skilled craftspeople, demonstrating proficiency with a wide variety of exotic materials, including meteoric iron. Here we explore the material properties of this unique raw material in terms of production and possible function. In this...
Hopewellian Woodhenges: Recent Research at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Monumental Surveys: New Insights from Landscape-Scale Geophysics" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Monumental timber post circles or "woodhenges" are ancient and enduring elements in the ritual landscapes of Native North America. Examples are known from as much as 3500 years ago at Poverty Point; from 2400 years ago in Adena ceremonial contexts in the Ohio Valley; from 1000 years ago at Cahokia; and in contemporary use...

"A Horrible Quantity of Stuff": The Untapped Potential of Northeast Region NPS Collections (2016)
All archeological material found on National Park lands must be curated and cared for in perpetuity, though often very little funding is designated for this purpose. This has led to an enormous backlog of artifacts and records in almost every park. For the last 15 years, the Northeast Museum Services Center has been providing cataloging services to National Park Service units in the Northeast Region. In that time, we have recovered an incredible amount of data about the NHPA-generated archeology...
Horse Culture and English Customs: The Importance of the Saddle Horse in 18th-Century English Colonies (2013)
Research into the origin of horse furniture found in colonial assemblages in Maryland has revealed new information about the predominance of saddle horses for travel there. English Customs records from 1697 to 1770 illustrate that more bridles and saddles of English manufacture were imported to Maryland and Virginia than to any other English colony in the New World, indicating that saddle horses may have been far more important in the Chesapeake than in other English colonies. This paper looks...

Hot Sauce and Colonial Degeneracy (2018)
According to Buffon’s theories of colonial degeneracy French individuals residing or born in the Caribbean were subject to the influences of the islands in the form of both climate based adaptation and terroir based alteration. Foods from the islands, particularly foods which fit the Galenic categories of heat and moisture, were especially damaging, causing otherwise moderate Europeans to become hot blooded, violent, lascivious, and immoderate. Despite the injunctions to avoid the pollution of...
Hot Spot Analysis: Copper Production in the Northern Lake Superior Basin (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. North America’s Native Copper Industry is one of the oldest metalworking traditions in the world, with metal use in this region dating to over 9,500 years ago. While several studies have focused on copper mining and use, few have focused on copper production. As a result, little attention has been given to the waste materials generated during the...
House and Household: The Archaeology of Domestic Life at Burning Man (2013)
House and household have been the primary focus of the archaeological study of Burning Man. Domestic space in Black Rock City, the location of the Burning Man festival in northwestern Nevada, takes many different forms. In this paper, the configurations of house, household, and the components of domestic space are investigated. Even in an experimental municipality, where the fantastic and inventive are elemental, the household is the basic building block of the city. As such it is not only a...
The House of the Good Shepherd: A Late Nineteenth Century Orphanage on the Banks of the Hudson River (2016)
In 1866, Reverend Ebenezer Gay became the guardian of six orphaned children. The home he would make for these children and many others, known as the House of the Good Shepherd in Tomkins Cove, New York, was a self-sufficient, working farm that taught the children hard work and responsibility and also acted as the hub of Reverend Gay’s mission work in the community. While some of the site’s architectural history is still extant, much of its archaeology is obscured by the structural debris left on...
A House, a Pistol, China, and a Clock: The Articulation of White Masculinity and the Cult of Sensibility in 18th-Century Montserrat, West Indies (2013)
A modest plantation house overlooking the Caribbean Sea on the northwestern coast of Montserrat burned in the late 18th-century. The path charted by the fire was fortunately uneven and has provided us with an archaeologically intimate portrait of the domesticity of empire—from table settings to personal adornment to furniture. The composition of the household is as of yet unknown, however. There are traces of enslaved Africans, and a wealthy British male well versed in the aesthetics of...
The House-Yard Revisited: Domestic Landscapes of Enslaved People in Plantation Jamaica (2016)
Across the sugar-producing islands of the Caribbean, the "slave village" has remained both a significant object and context for archaeological study of plantation slavery. Recent landscape perspectives have fostered new methods for seeing the material lives of enslaved people at the household and community scales. In recent years, however, little attention has been given the household infrastructure that extended beyond the house itself and articulated quarters into a village complex. The swept...
Household Archaeology and Slavery in Tidewater Virginia (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper focuses on the results of fieldwork at an urban plantation in colonial Williamsburg that once belonged to John Coke, a tradesman and tavern owner. In order to address questions concerning the enslaved household economy and labor, I compared the artifacts from Coke’s quarter to those of two other tidewater plantation sites. An approach which positions these households...
Household Artifacts from the Storm Wreck (2016)
When Loyalist families evacuated Charleston, South Carolina in December 1782, they carried with them all they could bring from their homes. Domestic artifacts recovered from the Storm Wreck include pewter spoons and plates, a glass stopper, ceramics associated with tea consumption, a variety of iron and copper cookware, fireplace hardware, clothing irons, straight pins, padlocks and keys, furniture hardware, a candlestick, and a door lock stripped from an abandoned home, wrapped in course cloth...
Household Ceramics across communities of Labor, a study from central Appalachia (2017)
Excavations during the summers of 2015 and 2016 by the Coal Heritage Archaeology Project focused on the residential communities that once lived in Tams, WV and Wyco, WV. These communities originated as coal company towns, in which all residents worked for and rented their houses from the coal company. Because these communities were somewhat isolated, many of the residents could only shop at the company store. This study examines the ceramic materials recovered from different racial, and...
