Riverine Site Formation Process of Steamboat Wreck Sites in the Western United States (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kristen Vogel.

Museum exhibits for both the artifact collections of both the steamboats Arabia and Bertrand liken the steamboat wrecks as time capsules, preserving moments frozen in time. For an archaeologist, it oversimplifies the nature of shipwrecks to regard them as a moments frozen in time. This study examines the dynamic riverine site formation process of steamboat wreck sites in the western United States, considering the cultural and environmental factors that impact such sites. The cultural and...

The Road From Big Rock Candy Mountain: Boomsurfer Strategies in the American West (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Margaret Purser.

People living across the broader West struggled for over a century to deal with both economic and ecological instability and unpredictability. Developing industrial capitalism fluctuated radically in this period, especially in a region where its large-scale extractive industries voraciously exploited environments that were often already fragile and marginal for large-scale settlement. For at least some sector of the population, responses to these challenges tended to emphasize stability and...

The EP & NE rail system in New Mexico was built between1898 and 1903. This railroad system immediately became a critical economic force, opening an uninhabited frontier of deserts and mountain forests to exploitation. The EP & NE system also comprised an immense sociopolitical machine that controlled vast lands, timber and mineral resources, water rights, and towns. This talk discusses the historical context for the railroad, and its impact on the settlement of eastern New Mexico. Archeological...

Roads and Landscape Dynamics on Monticello's Mountaintop (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Derek Wheeler. Craig Kelley.

Between 1770 and his death in 1826, Thomas Jefferson expended vast resources building and altering Monticello mansion and the surrounding landscape. Roads and paths were integral parts of the resulting system, which was engineered to manage the movement of family members, elite visitors, and free and enslaved workers. This paper offers new insights from archaeological research into the shifting configuration of elite and service access routes to the house and the artificial landscape that they...

Roadside America in the West: History along the Mountain Branch of the Santa Fe Trail (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Minette Church.

The highways and byways of the Colorado/New Mexico borderlands are dotted with publicly funded roadside interpretive signs providing a short history of the Mountain Branch of the Santa Fe Trail. The goal of these signs is commemoration and education of the traveling public, yet the facts are questionable and nuances are flattened. Must accuracy be sacrificed to achieve brevity and accessibility? The time has come to challenge the roadside nationalist narrative in favor of one that people who...

Robert L. Schuyler and the Emergence of an Archaeology of Ethnicity: "A topic of interest to both the profession and the public" (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anna Agbe-Davies.

Robert Schuyler has been at the forefront, not only of historical archaeology, but also the archaeology of ethnicity. Although historical archaeology had examined intercultural settings (the very stuff of ethnicity) from its inception, these themes were under-articulated in its early years. One of the earliest steps towards a research agenda was Schuyler’s edited volume Archaeological Perspectives on Ethnicity in America. This paper examines the themes of his contributions to that...

Robert L. Schuyler and the History of Historical Archaeology (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Benjamin C. Pykles.

As we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Society for Historical Archaeology, it seems appropriate to reflect on the history of historical archaeology at large. Although scholarly works on the history of the field are few, Robert L. Schuyler has been a steady advocate for and contributor to such work throughout his career. Over the last fifty years, he has consistently called for the need to document and preserve the history of the field. Equally important, he made...

Robert Schuyler as a Model of Making Space for Diversity of Thought (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kristen R. Fellows.

As one of the first historical archaeologists to publish on issues of race and ethnicity, Robert Schuyler’s legacy on such topics has been carried forward by many of his students. My research centers on a free black American enclave who settled on the island of Hispaniola, enslaved laborers on plantations in the Caribbean, and an African American brothel owner and the women who worked for her in Fargo, ND. While all of these projects are united through a focus on race, identity, and power...

Rockly Bay Research Project: Archaeology of a Naval Battle 2012 Field Season (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kroum N. Batchvarov.

In 1677, a French squadron attempted to wrestle control of Tobago from the Dutch West Indies Company. The crucial battle of Rockly Bay was one of the largest fought in the Caribbean in the 1600s. In the 1990s, Mr. Wes Hall of Mid-Atlantic Technologies, LLC, located shipwrecks tentatively associated with that battle. Based on archival data and the known positions of the ships in the battle line, it is likely that these are some of the Dutch ships. The University of Connecticut and the Institute...

Rockport Site 1980

PROJECT John T. Dorwin. US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District. US Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District.

This collection referred to as "Rockport Site 1980.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two linear inches. The Rockport Site 1980 came in one acidic brown accordion folder in an acidic box with documentation from other Rockport Generating Station archaeological investigations. The overall condition of the report was fair but needed much cleaning and repairs. Dirt smudges were erased, while tape was removed...
