An Overview of the Historic Utilization of Caves in Florida (2013)
For thousands of years people have utilized cave environments in the southeastern United States. Caves were used for shelter, burials, and religious ceremonies, and were mined for natural resources by both prehistoric and historic people. Historically, caves in Florida were used for shelter, trash deposition, as quarries, and played a developmental role in Florida’s early tourism. Many of these caves still affect the lives of people in Florida through tourism, recreation, and scientific...

Overwhelmed with Possibilities: A Model for Urban Heritage Tourism Development (2015)
The city of Pensacola, FL has been attempting to create a heritage tourism industry for half a century but has never achieved the same level of success of some of the most notable destinations they were trying to emulate. This is, in part, due to a signifiant level of development in the historic district, much of which is now historic as well, combined with an impressively complex history concentrated in a relatively small area. If Pensacola, and any community in a similar sutation, is to...
Oyster Exploitation and Environmental Reconstruction in Historic Colonial Williamsburg (2016)
Oyster shell is one of the most frequently recovered materials from archaeological sites in the Chesapeake, but they are often un- or underutilized in archaeological interpretations. In an effort to explore what information these shells can provide, Colonial Williamsburg's Environmental Archaeology Laboratory has been engaged in an on-going, multi-site, multi-disciplinary, synchronic and diachronic program of research to investigate how oysters recovered from sites in the Virginia Tidewater can...
"Oysters In Every Style": Food and Commercial Sex on the New Orleans Landscape (2018)
During the late-19th and early-20th centuries, the sex trade flourished in New Orleans throughout the city, despite legislative efforts at spatial restriction.

"The (Pacific North)West Is The Best:" Marley Brown's Influence Comes Full Circle (2015)
In the past twenty years, historical archaeology in the American West has developed into a mature field of study. Prior to this time, with a few notable exceptions, historical archaeology in the United States was firmly rooted to the east of the Mississippi. Many budding historical archaeologists in the west went east to become initiated to the discipline. For many of these undergraduate and graduate students, Marley Brown was an embedded westerner, who opened the door of the eastern...

Paddling Through the Past- A Landscape Archaeological Survey of a Contested Waterway (2013)
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Lake Champlain-Richelieu River Corridor was a ‘border-zone’, highly contested between the Native and European powers of the Atlantic world. In the summer of 2012, a team of archaeologists, educators and artists undertook a canoe-based landscape archaeological survey of the region. The team investigated colonial period forts and Native sites with the goal of discerning whether the placement of sites within the landscape was purely strategic, or whether...
Pain and Perseverance: An Archaeological Study of the First-Aid and Ethnopharmacology of Undocumented Migration (2015)
Undocumented migrants crossing the Sonoran Desert must survive the dangers of extreme heat and rugged terrain, while simultaneously avoiding apprehension and physical abuse by the US Border Patrol. A successful migration attempt therefore depends, in part, on the ability to endure or alleviate pain experienced en route. In order to better understand how health concerns play into the strategies and experiences of migrants, this paper presents an analysis of pharmaceutical and aid-related...
Painted Women and Patrons: Appearance and the Construction of Gender and Class Identity in the Red Light District of Ouray, Colorado. (2016)
Appearance-related artifacts from the Vanoli Block (5OR30), a late 19th and early 20th century sporting complex in the mining town of Ouray, Colorado, indicate that both the women working in the cribs and their patrons projected a working-class appearance. An examination of artifacts through the lenses of performance and practice theory is supplemented with historical data regarding class, gender, and costume, and suggests that the sartorial choices made by these women and men emerged from the...

Using standard paleoethnobotanical practices, plant macroremains from the Robinson Reserve Site (11CK2)...
The Paleoindian Fluted Point: Dart or Spear Armature? The Identification of Paleoindian Delivery Technology Through the Analysis of Lithic Fracture Velocity (1997)
J. Whittaker: “Velocity-dependent fractures on fluted points reveal fracture rates associated with high-velocity impacts, indicating the use of the spearthrower” No clear evidence of Clovis atlatl, but early dates on hooks from Marmes Rockshelter and Warm Mineral Springs, both 9-10,000 BP, others. Summarizes Clovis and Folsom tool kits and hunting strategies. Problems of classifying points as dart or arrow tips, criticizes Odell’s flake point hypothesis – accidental fractures look similar. ...

Palimpsests and Practices: Preliminary Thoughts on the Landscape as a Mediator of Political and Social Meaning at Barneston, Washington (1898-1924) (2018)
The landscapes of sawmill company towns are complex palimpsests formed from an array of practices and structures that influenced daily life. They served as sites of socioeconomic order, industry, inequality, and persistence for a diverse array of inhabitants. This paper will explore the complex and multi-vocal nature of such landscapes through a multi-scalar analysis of the spatial organization and context of a first-generation Japanese American (Issei) community at Barneston, Washington...
