Made in America? Sourcing the Coarse Earthenwares of Chesapeake Plantations (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lindsay Bloch.

Unlike many other goods at the time, which were wholly imported from Great Britain or elsewhere abroad, utilitarian coarse earthenwares were also produced locally within the colonies. In the Chesapeake, it has been suggested that these local wares were reserved for those unable to trade directly with England. This paper presents the results of elemental analysis via laser ablation ICP-MS in order to identify the sources of utilitarian earthenwares used by plantation households. Employing a...

"Madly and blindly in the face of furious fire" Archaeological Survey of the Barber Wheatfield, Saratoga National Historical Park (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joel Dukes. Paul Ledoux. Jared Muehlbauer. Eric Schnitzer.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Northeast Region National Park Service Archeological Landscapes and the Stories They Tell" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The incredible events that occurred at Barber Wheatfield on October 7th, 1777 during the second Battle of Saratoga and the landscape of rolling hills and small farms make it a pivotal location in understanding the day's outcomes. This paper discusses the results of an archaeological...


Maggie Ross emerges from the Sands of Russian Gulch, California (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Denise Jaffke. John Herrald.

On June 7, 2017, a diver from the U.C. Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory found a bow section of the Maggie Ross, a steam schooner that wrecked off the coast of Russian Gulch in August, 1892. The schooner was headed north from San Francisco when it struck a submerged rock near the former Russian outpost of Fort Ross. The captain was able to beach the foundering vessel at the nearest "doghole" port. This event was only the last of what was a tumultuous career for the ship. This paper will examine the...


Magnetic Models: Creating an Interpretive Model of Civil War Case Shot (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Janene W Johnston. Mariana Zechini.

3D modeling has been successfully incorporated into the realm of public outreach and interpretation. The ability to virtually access and manipulate artifacts and monuments allows people to interact with the object where they are incapable of doing so. Creating replicas also provides a hands-on experience by permitting onsite visitors to examine and hold certain objects, including the more delicate cross-mended materials. This project utilizes magnets in an attempt to connect the plastic replicas...

Magnetic Survey for Cortes’ Fleet in Villa Rica Bay, Mexico (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ilya Inozemtsev. Doug Hrvoic.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Hernan Cortes arrived at the shores of North America in 1519 and famously scuttled his own fleet of ships, at a location believed to be about 60km north of modern day Veracruz. An expedition to find the lost fleet was begun in July...

Magnetometry Survey at the Mann Site: A Rich New Dataset on Hopewell Ceremonialism (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Strezewski. Staffan Peterson.

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. The Mann site in southwest Indiana is one of the largest Hopewell ceremonial centers in the Midwest and also one of the least studied. The site, which was occupied between A.D. 200 and 500, consists of flat-topped, conical, and geometric earthworks, similar to those from Hopewell complexes in Ohio and elsewhere. The most...


Magnolia Grove: A Comparative Study of Plantation Landscape and Architecture (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Natalie Mooney.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Enslavement" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Magnolia Grove is an early-mid nineteenth century town house property in Greensboro, Alabama and it functioned as a largely self-sufficient farming operation with around 25 acres of land and multiple slaves living on site. Because of these features Magnolia Grove can be viewed as a smaller contained parallel to other plantations owned by Isaac Croom. This...


A Mahiole, a Revolutionary War Major, and a Cosmopolitan City; A Case for Southern Urban Places (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Platt.

Perched in a display case in the depths of the Charleston Museum in Charleston, SC is a seemingly out-of-place grass helmet, an artifact from Hawaii donated in 1798. At first, it may be unclear how this object has much to contribute to a museum with a mission focused on the history of Charleston and the broader lowcountry of South Carolina. However, the presence of this object in and of itself, and its itinerary that eventually brought it to America’s first museum (c. 1773) tells us a great deal...


Mahogany and Iron: Archaeological Investigations of the Late 17th-Century Frigate Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santiago Apostal (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kad Henderson.

Constructed prior to 1696 near Veracruz, Mexico, the Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santiago Apostal was a powerful warship of the Spanish Armada de Barlovento. The ship served primarily as an escort vessel during its nine years at sea.  In addition to its primary duties Rosario led anti piracy patrols and fought in campaigns against other European powers in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The ship's career came to an end in September of 1705 during a powerful hurricane in Pensacola Bay,...


Maine Midden Minders: Racing the Clock to Document Cultural and Environmental Archives (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alice R. Kelley. Bonnie Newsom.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Heritage at Risk: Shifting Responses from Reactive to Proactive" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Midden Minders program is a citizen-science based project designed to monitor and document the erosion of many of the approximately 2000 archaeological shell middens on the Maine coast. Virtually all these sites are eroding in the face of climate change induced sea level rise and increasing weather...

Maize, Mast, and Other Plant Resources from the Late Prehistoric and Contact Period North Carolina Piedmont (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sierra S. Roark.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Before, After, and In Between: Archaeological Approaches to Places (through/in) Time" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Contact period is often designated as a significant temporal marker for American archaeology. Excavations led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the Siouan Project have produced an extensive number of archaeobotanical samples from late Prehistoric and Contact period...


Maize’s Role in the Diets of Late Prehistoric People Living in the Prairie Peninsula (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Edwards. Robert Jeske.

Population aggregation and shifts in material culture of the Late Prehistoric Eastern Woodlands (AD900-1100) has often been linked to the increase in the importance of maize in the human diet. In the Midwest, the development of distinct contemporaneous archaeological cultures (e.g., Oneota, Langford and Middle Mississippian) has often been connected to assumed differences in maize consumption. A commonly used model is that increased complexity in social structures result from, and/or are...

"Making a Box Worthy of a Sleeping Beauty": Burial Container Surface Treatments in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Pye.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recently, a fair amount of attention in historic mortuary literature has been paid to burial container hardware, and to a lesser extent, to the influence of hardware on the socioeconomics of the funeral and burial. However, base surface treatments, such as painting, varnishing, cloth-covering, etc. also influenced social perception and cost. Relatively little has been systematically...
