In ongoing research at Hollywood Plantation, a 19th century rural plantation in southeastern Arkansas, intersectionality, with its roots in Black feminist theory, plays two roles. It is an analytical tool for uncovering intersecting power relations, such as gender, whiteness, and reproductive health, as they emerged in the late 19th century. As patent medicines were increasingly marketed to women, medicine bottles provide a lens into rural upper class white women’s healing practices and the ways...
Being A 'Good' Girl: Crafting Gender in Indian Residential Schools (2015)
As part of the project of colonialism in North America, churches and missionaries introduced their standards of childhood through the education of Aboriginal peoples. Indian residential schools determined what it meant for Aboriginal girls to become proper women. Western ideals of femininity, modelled behaviour, appearance and clothing, personal possessions, and household goods informed respectability, and Aboriginal girls were taught a Christian home life geared towards removing them from their...
Being Intendant in New France, a Step Forward in a Cursus Honorum? (2015)
To rise through the ranks of "Ancient Régime" society, noblemen were called upon to fill various positions in the colonial administration. Being Intendant in New France might have been challenging and full of issues, but it was also a fast way to better your position. Among the challenges facing the Intendants, one of them was to reflect his wealth and social status necessary for the duty. Since the objective of my master’s thesis is to understand the symbolic importance of material culture as...
Being the Only One: An Ethnographic Study of Black Women Archaeologists (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Gender Revolutions: Disrupting Heteronormative Practices and Epistemologies" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The application of a Black feminist theoretical lens to the field of archaeology has produced a site to discuss how race, gender, and other identities impact how archaeological research is done. This paper is concerned with the experiences of three Black women archaeologists in the United States....

Beneath the Parking Lot: Centuries of History at Gloucester Point (2018)
Recent excavations on the campus of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science have shed new light on multiple periods of occupation at Gloucester Point, ranging from Woodland period native communities to the 21st-century development of the area. Working in advance of a large-scale construction project, archaeologists from DATA Investigations uncovered and excavated hundreds of features, providing a detailed glimpse at patterns of early 18th-century Gloucestertown buildings, efforts to clean up...
The Benefits of Educating Young Professionals about Archaeological Conservation (2013)
While archaeological conservation is still a relatively new field, it is not much younger than the field of historical archaeology. Literature searches mention "conservation" or preservation in many of the text books used to educate and train archaeology students in this country and archaeologists agree about the necessity of conserving finds. Yet courses in archaeological conservation remain strangely absent from the curriculum of many of the well-established and prominent archaeology...
Beothuk Housepits in Virtual Environments (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Hearth and Home in the Indigenous Northeast" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The archaeology of interior Newfoundland is a poorly understood subject, and yet, there are more than 70 Beothuk housepits in the Exploits River Valley, comprising the majority of these features. The topography of these features has been recorded using traditional survey methods, producing poor data for spatial and morphological studies. This...
The Bermuda 100 Project: An Island-Scale Digital Atlas for Underwater Cultural Heritage (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The reefs surrounding Bermuda are home to some 100 historic shipwrecks. Documenting the location and assessing the integrity of wrecks, with respect to individual deposits and overall site morphology, is essential to reconstructing the natural and cultural processes that resulted in the formation of wreck sites and provides both spatial and temporal contextual information. Digital...
Bermuda in Microcosm: The Smiths Island Archaeology Project, 1610-2014 (2015)
Building on MRB3's dedication to comparative colonial archaeology, the SIAP incorporates 22 terrestrial sites and adjoining waters to investigate Bermuda's changing history and Atlantic integration across four centuries . Fieldwork since 2010 has uncovered Bermuda's earliest home (timber-frame, c. 1615 to c. 1714), a maritime quarantine building, a cave site, an 18th c. doctor's home, a c. 1759 whale processing complex, several quarries, limekilns, and docks, a small enslaved/free black...

The Best and Worst of Times: Bridging Stakeholders, Archaeologists, and Students to Craft Community Archaeology at the Robert H. Jackson Farmstead, Spring Creek, PA. (2020)
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. We discuss the complexities of community archaeology involving stakeholders, archaeologists, and students at the 2019 Mercyhurst University field school site on the Robert H. Jackson Farmstead. Disparate but congenial sets of “publics” included persons inspired and interested in Robert H. Jackson, the famous...
Best Practices for 3D Recordation and Visualization of Historical Archaeological Sites (2018)
The use of 3D recordation and visualization techniques on archaeological sites has expanded dramatically in recent years. In response to the popularity of these technologies, European practitioners have developed the London Charter for the Computer-Based Visualization of Cultural Heritage as a foundation for best practices. This paper discusses the London Charter and how it may be applicable to American Historical Archaeology. Issues include appropriate technology selection, documenting sources...
Best Practices for Managing UCH on the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (2015)
Located along the western boundary of the continental United States, the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf holds a vast array of potential archaeological and historic resources, resources which must be considered during the federal permitting process for offshore renewable energy. In order to better manage these resources and take into account potential adverse effects that could occur as a result of offshore renewable energy development, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is undertaking a...

"A Better and Surer Food Supply": Promoting Foodways in the US Federal Education System for Alaska Natives, ca. 1884-1960 (2018)
The Alaska Organic Act of 1884 established federal civil administration for the new American colony ceded by Russia in 1867. A key provision concerned the education of Alaska Natives: "The Secretary of the Interior shall make provision for the education of the children of school age in Alaska, without reference to race". The federal education system for Alaska Natives, directed by missionaries after 1884, the US Bureau of Education after 1905, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs after 1931,...
The "Better sort" and the "Poorer Sort": Wealth Inequalities, Family Formation and the Economy of Energy on British Caribbean Sugar Plantations, 1750-1807 (2013)
The occupations held by the enslaved on sugar plantations shaped the formation of enslaved families and communities. There was a hierarchy within slave communities on sugar plantations which drew on the occupations slaves held in the working world. Elite slave family groups emerged on plantations and they tended to hold the most privileged work positions and to pass them down to the next generation. Slaves who held the most privileged occupations had more opportunity to earn money, acquire food...

Between a Rock and a Coastal Place: Analysis of Archaic Raw Material Use at Stock Cove, Newfoundland (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Maritime Archaic (ca. 8,000-3,200 BP) were the earliest peoples to inhabit the island of Newfoundland. As they settled the island around 6,000 years ago, their ability to maintain lithic traditions were key to their success. Finding new sources of lithic material would have been necessary and that process would have varied greatly across the island. In...
