Old Forestville and the Saxon Colony (1965)
This story of Forestville's beginnings and the subsequent arrival of the German colony of settlers in 1873 is drawn from many sources. Not the least of these were the reminiscences and observations of an old friend, Ferdinand Schaff, who is 93 years old at this writing. This account is an attempt to cover the village's most active period of growth, from 1871 to 1885. Fortunately, events of this period were well publicized in one really early county newspaper, The Lexington Jeffersonian.
"Old Fortunes, New Fortunes, Lost Fortunes" Utilizing a Forgotten Assemblage to Help Reconstruct Betty Washington and Fielding Lewis’s Dining Room (and So Much More) (2015)
Decades worth of artifacts excavated from Kenmore, the house of Betty Washington Lewis (George’s sister) and her husband Fielding Lewis, have recently been reanalyzed by George Washington Foundation archaeologists with the intent of shedding light upon what equipage would have graced the Lewis’s dining room table. Re-examination of this collection proved both informative and surprising, yielding clues as to what life was like for this family during and immediately following the Revolution, as...

Old Mobile: The Internal Structure of An Early 18th-Century French Colonial Town (2018)
Twenty-nine years of archaeological investigations at the townsite known as Old Mobile, capital of the French colony of Louisiane from 1702 to 1711, has revealed ten structures in considerable detail, as well as information on the distribution of other structures throughout the town. Recent new overlays of the two extant historical maps of the settlement permit an evaluation of those two cartographic sources, as well as interpretations of the occupants of the excavated structures. The map...

Old Pots on New Plates: Understanding Ancient Vases on 19th Century Transfer-Printed Ceramics (2013)
The discovery of sites like Pompeii and Herculaneum in the early 18th century fueled an international mania for classical antiquities, especially ancient vases. Through a process of translation in multiple media, these ancient pots soon became featured on transfer-printed ceramics mass-produced at the Staffordshire potteries. These ceramics were then exported globally, transporting classical visions to consumers of multiple socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. Using an assemblage of...
Old Questions, New Direction: Research at Ash Lawn-Highland (2016)
As part of Ash Lawn-Highland’s strategic direction, the historic site has undertaken a new phase of research to address lingering mysteries about the standing house and its story as a portion of James Monroe’s 1799 main residence. Addressing the questions involves a multi-disciplinary team and opens the door to the creation of revised public narratives. This paper discusses the points at which uncertainty entered the site’s established narratives, the range of research efforts in the current...

Old Records and New Tools: Using Historic Land Records to Structure Archaeological Survey and Historic Site Management on the Siuslaw National Forest (2015)
Over 3,900 land records are housed at the Siuslaw National Forest (SNF) headquarters offering valuable information on early 20th Century homesteading in Oregon’s Coast Range. Current SNF program direction aims to summarize this information to support archaeological site identification and the development of a historic context that will lead to a more effective management strategy for homestead sites. Initial work to meet this goal is underway through this author’s research, which will focus on...

Old Union Cemetery, Indiana (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

"Old" Collections, New Narrative: Rethinking the Native Past through Archaeological Collections from Eastern Long Island. (2016)
This paper highlights the value of existing museum and contract archaeology collections to new directions in archaeological research. Renewed attention to "old" data sets serves to decolonize archaeology and to challenge existing narratives with new questions. The collections discussed in this paper all come from eastern Long Island, New York. I draw attention to how narratives of Native American cultural loss and disappearance are constructed locally through archaeological heritage, and I...
On Cudjo’s Pipe: Smoking Dialogs in Diasporic Space (2015)
As a survivor of the last slaver to make the Atlantic crossing and a community leader in the Jim Crow-era American South of Mobile Alabama, Cudjo Lewis stands as an iconic diasporic figure. We know of Cudjo’s life on both sides of the Atlantic from extensive interviews by Zora Neale Hurston, local historians, and reporters from the New York Times. These reports describe a sullen patriarchal figure who spent the last years of his life morning the death of his children and the impossibility of...
On Dangerous Ground: Documenting the Undocumented Migration Project 2009-2014 (2015)
Started in 2009, the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP) developed out of an attempt to couple archaeological data on what border crossers left in the Arizona desert with ethnographic data collected at migrant shelters in Northern Mexico. The initial goal was to understand the informal economy that structured human smuggling and the various technologies of survival and subterfuge that people employed while crossing the Sonoran Desert. Since 2009, the project’s scope has significantly expanded...
"On Examining the Records of the Town we find an Omiſsion": Using Historical GIS (hGIS) in Conjunction with Archaeolgoical Excavation to Document Property Histories and Understand Changing Waterlines in Alexandria, Virginia. (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Archaeology: Down by the Water" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For terrestrial archaeologists working in urban and waterfront settings, the water’s edge frequently represents a boundary that is seemingly fixed and insurmountable, beyond which is figuratively (and sometimes literally) outside of their jurisdiction. However, the water should be seen as the connective tissue that link these port towns...
