Persistence in the Face of Change: 17th Century Rappahannock Households at Camden Farm (2018)
Contemporary understandings of 17th century Algonquian Rappahannock history are inextricably linked to regional historical narratives emphasizing chiefdom development and Anglo-Native Virginian colonial encounters. The Powhatan Chiefdom, one of the most influential political organizations within the broader Coastal Plain, often serves as the primary research focus for investigations of these topics due to its perceived role as the dominant force defining regional social organization strategies...
Persistence in Turkey Husbandry Practices in the Southwest and Four Corners Region: The Isotopic and Ethnohistorical Evidence (2018)
Research has demonstrated an independent domestication event of Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) occurred in the Southwestern USA between 200 BC—AD 500, which was separate from the domestication of turkey within the Mesoamerican world. While aDNA analyses revealed this as a separate and distinct event, we still know little about how turkey husbandry was practiced in the prehistoric Southwest, USA, Northwest, Mexico, and Four Corners regions. Our research applies carbon and nitrogen isotopes to a...

While this event was distinct from the domestication of turkey within the Mesoamerican world approximately 2000 years...
Persistence of Equality Through Daily Life at the Parker Academy: New Insights From Archaeological and Archival Research (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The small port town of New Richmond, Ohio has a rich but neglected history ‒ it was once home to a pioneering family and their progressive academy. The Parker Academy, founded in 1839, was inspired by a vision that moved people beyond racial segregation and promoted unity during a time of extreme division. This school is perhaps one of the first integrated...
The Persistence of Resistance: Chinese Kongsi Partnerships in 18th Century Borneo and 19th Century North America (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Chinese immigrant gold miners in North America are generally portrayed as unskilled laborers eking out a bare subsistence by scouring placer deposits previously worked and abandoned by white miners. Archaeological evidence and historic documentation suggest this is a gross oversimplification. For a...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper examines settlement patterns and the concept of persistent places and its implications regarding population circulation, community, and identity during the Pithouse and Pueblo period occupations (A.D. 700–1450) within the Eagle Creek area of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests (ASNF) in eastern Arizona. Eagle Creek is a perennial stream which...
Persistent Places in Landscapes of Dispersal: Archaeological and Ethnohistorical Investigations at Queen Esther’s Town Preserve, Athens, PA (2018)
We report on research at the Queen Esther’s Town Preserve, an Archaeological Conservancy property in Athens, Pennsylvania. Located at the confluence of the Chemung and Susquehanna Rivers, this land was home to a Delaware community led by Esther Montour during the American Revolution. The town was destroyed in September 1778 as part of the American campaign against British-allied Native villages and has since become a place anchor for the dominant narratives of Native disappearance common in the...
Persistent Places, Affordances, and Temporalities on Chacoan Time Bridge Roads (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Rethinking Persistent Places: Relationships, Atmospheres, and Affects" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Beginning in the 1980s, researchers noticed that some monumental avenues in the Chaco World (ca. AD 800-1200) of the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest were “roads through time” linking non-contemporaneous sites. These so-called “time bridges” are often interpreted as monuments built by later generations to...
Persistent, Multiscalar Disentanglement: Native-Spanish Trajectories in Early Historic New Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Disentanglement: Reimagining Early Colonial Trajectories in the Americas" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. What began in 1540 with sustained, lethal confrontations between Southern Tiwa pueblo communities and the conquista campaign of Vázquez de Coronado, set in motion a history of relations in New Mexico regularly punctuated by acts of Native independence and disengagement, and by Spanish policies and countermeasures...
Personal Adornment in the Context of Antebellum Slavery at Poplar Forest (1830-1858) (2013)
Objects classified as personal adornment are often vested with meanings that reveal significant insight into their owners because they are personal. The context in which objects are used is critical to understanding potential meanings. This essay considers the recontextualization of personal adornment items, particularly glass beads, a pierced coin, and an alloy fastener, used by enslaved laborers at antebellum Poplar Forest plantation. The enslaved mobilized these forms of material culture in...
Perspectives on Underwater Cultural Heritage Management of Hispaniola (2015)
Hispaniola is the epicenter of Colombian contact from the 1492 Santa Maria to the first sustained interaction between peoples of the Old and New Worlds at La Isabela. Since 1992, Indiana University has worked in the Dominican Republic to study and protect its significant historic and prehistoric Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH). Most notably, the Living Museums in the Sea initiative is a sustainable management strategy that provides an alternative to the commercial exploitation of submerged...
Petroglyph Panels in Isolation: Differences in Cultural Expression through Rock Art Placement in the Landscape of Petrified Forest National Park (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Petrified Forest National Park" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Across Petrified Forest National Park, ancestral Puebloans left their mark on the landscape through the creation of thousands of petroglyph panels. While the exact meaning behind the glyphs depicted in petroglyph panels has been blurred by the passage of time and poses a formidable interpretive challenge to archaeologists, the...

On or just after 31 December 1782, sixteen ships from a larger fleet evacuating Charleston, South Carolina wrecked while attempting to enter the St. Augustine Inlet. One of these sixteen ships, the Storm Wreck, has been the focus of six seasons of excavation for the Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program (LAMP), the research arm of the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum. The firearms recovered from the shipwreck include three Brown Bess muskets, two of which were loaded and in the...
The Pewter Assemblage from the Site of CSS Georgia (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research at the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. CSS Georgia had been in service for nearly 20 months when Sherman’s March to the Sea prompted Confederate forces to scuttle the ironclad to prevent the ship’s capture. Given the Confederate forces had time to remove supplies from the ship, salvage efforts shortly following the American Civil...

PGIS and Interwar Totalitarian Planning (2018)
Massive building programs undertaken in Europe between the world wars present a challenge for cultural resource management. While these projects' ambitious goals and often radical reconceptualization of space and social relations are historically noteworthy, their association with totalitarian regimes and repressive politics require careful contextualization. Through the example of agricultural reform in Fascist Italy, this paper advocates for an approach to this challenge through an...
Phase III Investigations Of The Noxon Tenancy, 7NC-F-133, New Castle County, Delaware: An Examination Of The Faunal Material (2015)
In 2012, Louis Berger cultural resources staff completed Phase III archaeological excavations at the Noxon Tenancy site (7NC-F-133), as part of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) U.S. 301 project. After completion of the field and laboratory work, over 2,000 pieces of particularly well-preserved faunal material were recorded from across the site, including bone recovered from the wood-lined well, pit, and sheet midden features. This project affords researchers with the...
A Philadelphia Patchwork: Considering Small-Scale Archaeology in the City of Brotherly Love (2016)
Although many of the most well known archaeological projects undertaken in Philadelphia have been large-scale CRM projects, university-based research in urban archaeology also has a long history in the city. Recent archaeological projects completed at Elfreth’s Alley and The Woodlands reveal the contributions that two such small-scale academic projects can make to our overall understanding of Philadelphia’s urban development, and the insights that such projects offer not only into Philadelphia’s...
The Phoenix Project: Applications of Gamification for Online Civic Engagement (2015)
The MARTA collection, held by Georgia State University, is a large body of legacy archaeological data collected in the late 1970s that documents the history of Atlanta. The current Phoenix project is building on those original efforts and represents an ideal opportunity to explore new praxis-oriented methodologies by making the collection easily accessible to the public as an example of civic engagement through community archaeology outreach. Key to this civic engagement is the digitization of...
Phosphate, Potassium, Pisces and Poop: Surveying the Pacific Guano Company Anchorage of Woods Hole, MA, USA (2018)
An 1857 nautical chart of Great Harbor at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, details sailing instructions for ships entering this natural deepwater anchorage. From 1859-1889 ships carrying seabird guano sailed into Great Harbor to unload at the Pacific Guano Company plant. We have conducted a maritime archaeological reconnaissance survey of the anchorage, including the guano wharves. Submerged artifacts collected by local divers and remote sensing of the anchorage site show that seafaring trade in...
