The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis created the "Treasures of the Earth" exhibit to engage children and families in the world of archaeology.  Museum staff worked closely with archaeologist advisors to produce recreations  of three distinct archaeological "sites", the tomb of Seti I in Egypt, the terra cotta warriors of China, and the underwater remains of an 18th century Caribbean shipwreck.  Artifacts and activities in each area convey the sense of discovery that drives archaeology while...

Tech-centred courses in archaeology are becoming evermore present in university and college training programs, as demands for digital field recording, data management and analysis, and public engagement applications increase. Traditional classrooms and labs may be conducive to methodological training, however experiencing the complicated ethics, politics and logistics of applying these methods to heritage practice is limited in these settings. This paper reflects on a collaborative project that...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Firearms and ammunition were used by military officers, traders, European settlers, and Native Americans in hunting and warfare throughout New France. To better understand military forts, trading posts, and European settlements, flintlock-related objects can be examined to determine the types of firearms being used at Fort St. Joseph, who was using them...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Strides Towards Standard Methodologies in Aeronautical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In August 2018 a delta winged object was recovered under archaeological permit from Lake Ontario by the OEX Recovery Group Incorporated. It was hoped that this was one of nine 1/8 scale Avro Arrow free flight models (AAFFM) launched from the Point Petre CARDE firing range between 1954-1957, and thought to be...

Identifying Manila galleon shipwrecks on the West Coast has been made possible by creating a tightly dated Chinese blue-on-white porcelain chronology.   First, the porcelains left behind at Drakes Bay, California, by Francis Drake in 1579 were separated from those of the San Agustin shipwreck of 1595 in the same location.  From the study of three additional shipwreck porcelain groups, a chronology of a key porcelain type called Kraak ware was created covering the period 1578 through 1643.   The...

At the dawn of the 20th century, a revival swept the ports of New England ushering in an era of wooden shipbuilding not seen on the Atlantic coast since the Civil War.  These vessels, schooner rigged for the coastal trade, were built for bulk, ferrying cargo from southern ports and the Caribbean to the industrial powerhouses of Boston and New York.  A builder, based in Mystic, Connecticut, joined in and produced a number of vessels that shared more than the same port of origin; nearly half met...

From its first introduction into Western homes, Chinese porcelain held mystique and value. Treasured for translucency and decoration, porcelain crossed the Atlantic with the first settlers at Jamestown who brought with them wine cups and other pieces of Chinese porcelain as symbols of the society they had left behind. These commodities were signs of the wealth and status of those who owned them. Chinese porcelain continued to represent these qualities into the eighteenth century, even as it...

United States colonialism in the  Oregon Territory was a maelstrom of hostility, ambiguity, and conflicting agendas among Native Americans, Gold miners, pioneer families, citizen militias, Indian agents, and Army personnel.  The U.S. Army's role in this drama was particularly ambiguous; many of the pro-states rights pioneers in this pre-Civil War era of the 1850s resented the soldiers—to the point of armed conflict--for defending the treaty rights of Native American people, while the Army was...

This paper provides a case study of NAGPRA implementation within the University of Wisconsin System focusing on two institutions: the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Both institutions have long-standing programs of Midwest archaeology, within their...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As a twenty-one-year-old graduate student, I was present when an Indigenous ancestor, pipe in hand, was removed from the earth, placed in a box, and taken to storage. My encounter with this individual transformed and guided the course of my career in a field that has changed over the intervening decades and is working on recognition of human rights. I knew...

Nail analysis is a tool to identify the function and changes of structures in late nineteenth century frontier buildings. Using techniques involving visual inspection and comparative analysis, one can identify the approximate age of the nails as well as practical uses for their type and size. The purpose of this paper is to show how nail analysis aids in our interpretation of the chronology and function of buildings at the Peter Dougherty site (1842-1852) on Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City,...

This is an abstract from the "There and Back Again: Celebrating the Career and Ongoing Contributions of Patricia B. Richards" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout her career, Patricia Richards conveyed experience and knowledge through storytelling. Impassioned and insightful, these stories often reveal episodes forgotten by written history. As one example, the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (MCPFC) represents thousands of stories,...

While artifacts and grave goods remain an archaeologist’s primary tools for gathering information on past populations, document and historical archaeology increasingly look to census records, obituaries, and family records, not just to confirm information about recovered artifacts, but as artifacts themselves. This study analyzed census data, birth records, and obituaries associated with three missing individuals assumed to be buried in Victoria’s Congregation Emanu-El Jewish cemetery to...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The last battle in the Dakota- U.S. war took place near Yellow Medicine, Minnesota in 1862. The dominant narrative, initiated by memorialization events held by U.S. veterans at the site, is of a brave last charge by U.S. soldiers using shoulder arms, under the support of artillery, to...

The field of historical archaeology is uniquely situated with simultaneous access to both past and present.  Beyond analysis of material remains, researchers frequently take advantage of oral accounts to gain a more holistic understanding of past events.  However, even when such accounts are not available from direct descendants, the possible use of oral histories in research should not be immediately discounted.  Through investigations of a historic habitation in Charleston, South Carolina,...

In 2012, NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, East Carolina University, and the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute began a collaborative effort to offer NAS training to community members throughout North Carolina and Virginia.  Since then the initiative further opened to additional partners from state agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and dive shops and an expanded offering of courses spanning from introductory courses to Part 3 modules (and standalone projects) are now offered.   This...
