A.Dudley Gardner and William Gardner In north central Mongolia the Buryats (Buriad) herders build log cabins for homes. While different from nineteenth century log cabins built in the American West, there are similarities. As part of our analysis we noted that the proximity of houses to corrals in both northern Mongolia, Montana, and Wyoming are similar enough to one another that choices on how to utilize space in herding cultures may be based on economic and environmental considerations that...
Nineteenth Century Maya Refugees and the Reoccupation of Tikal, Guatemala (2015)
After nearly millennia of isolation and abandonment, Tikal, the once mighty city of the ancient Classic Maya, was briefly reoccupied by Maya refugees fleeing the violence of the Caste War of Yucatan (1847-1901). While small, this village was comprised of a conglomeration of at least three different Maya speaking groups, seeking safety and autonomy in the frontier zone of the dense and sparsely occupied Petén Jungle. This remote region was exploited for centuries by groups escaping...
Nineteenth Century Whaleboats: From commercial technology to essential Royal Naval craft (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Commercial maritime fleets represent an overlooked and understudied source of technological inspiration for the British Royal Navy. One such example is the whaleboat. The whaleboat was integrated into the navy in the mid nineteenth century and proved to be a remarkably versatile ship’s boat. It was only after a series of alterations in the late nineteenth century, however, that the...
Nineteenth-Century Tobacco Economics and Lacandon Maya Culture Change (2018)
Tobacco became a major commodity in the Spanish colonies in the late colonial period. But the importance of tobacco increased in post-independence times when the new republics developed their economies and free markets. The ingestion of tobacco also reached new highs at this time. Lacandon Maya in the remote forests of Mexico and Guatemala entered globalization by mastering tobacco cultivation and exchange. The Lacandon produced superb, cheap tobacco that they traded for foreign goods. Tobacco...

"No (repeat no) funds will be available to Traditions Committee:" A Case Study in Memorialization Logistics (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper examines the records of the Fort Monmouth, NJ Memorialization Committee from the 1940s through early 21st century to shine a light on the logistics behind memorialization: who/what gets memorialized, when, where, why, and how. The paper also considers what happens when memorials are abandoned. These thousands of pages provide a...
‘no bastan los indios’ – the Chapel of Mission San Juan de Capistrano (2013)
This study investigates the chapel of Mission San Juan de Capistrano [San Antonio] from C18 through C20, and queries social relationships ranging from the initial organization by the Franciscans, their interactions with indigenous groups, the secularisation of the missions in early C19, neglect following secularisation, and reclamation by the Catholic diocese and the National Park Service. Two periods are of interest. One is the founding relationship between the Franciscans and the indios...
No Direction Home; Refining the Date of Occupation at Tikal’s 19th Century Refugee Village. (2016)
In the latter half of the 19th Century, the ancient Maya ruined city Tikal was briefly reoccupied. The frontier village was established some time before 1875, and had a maximum population of 15 households comprised of at least three distinct Maya speaking groups. However, the site was again abandoned when archaeologists visited Tikal in 1881. Most of the inhabitants were reportedly said to be Yucatec refugees fleeing the violence and upheavals of the Caste War of Yucatan (1847-1901) that...
No Fresh Water Except That Furnished by the Rains: Cisterns in Key West, Florida (2013)
Nineteenth-century Key West was one of Florida's largest cities, an important port, an administrative center, and a host to U.S. Naval and Army bases. Yet the island lacked natural fresh water sources, necessitating the use of cisterns to capture rainwater. Recent exavation of three examples provided opportunities to examine cistern construction, adequacy, and water consumption. Water use also had implications with respect to gender and class during the 19th century. Water chiefly related to...
No Longer "Playin’ the Lady": Examining Black Women’s Consumption at the Ransom and Sarah Williams Farmstead (2017)
Archaeological studies of race and consumption have linked black consumer behavior to the negotiation of social and economic exclusion. While these studies have highlighted blacks’ efforts to define themselves after slavery, they have overlooked black women and how they used consumer goods to aspire towards gendered notions of racial uplift and respectability. This paper examines the Ransom and Sarah Williams Farmstead, a historic freedman’s site in Travis County, Texas, to describe the nature...
"No lovlier sight": Tracing the Post-Emancipation Lime Industry on Montserrat and Dominica (2017)
In the second half of the 19th-century, Montserrat citrus limes were world famous, appearing regularly in British advertisements and utilized in the global perfume and beverage markets. But the ways in which this industry impacted the lives of Montserrat’s formerly enslaved laborers has yet to be clearly understood. Preliminary research for a landscape survey of Montserrat, utilizing a comparative approach with Dominica, is presented. As in the case of Montserrat, lime agriculture on Dominica...
"No somos invisibles": Confronting Colonial Legacies of Racism in Narratives of Afro-Peruvian Cultural Heritage (2018)
In 2009, Peru apologized to its citizens of African descent for the discrimination enacted against them since the colonial period. Since this address, the government has instituted a series of initiatives to evaluate the state of the Afro-descendent population today. A key outcome of these efforts has been the expansion of Afro-Peruvian studies, an inter-disciplinary research program that aims to produce knowledge about Afro-Peruvian culture from a historical perspective. However, much of this...

This paper provides an overview and summation of all of the presentations in this symposium. Preliminary findings and interpretations of the data collected during all phases of the Monterrey Shipwreck Project are also presented. These findings and interpretations are based on our current knowledge of these sites, their associated artifact assemblages, and knowledge of the historic and cultural context of the early 19th century Gulf of Mexico. A discussion of the success and failures of some...
Non-Invasive Documentation of Burial Mounds and Historic Earthworks from the Dakota Heartland: A Combined Approach Utilizing LiDAR and Shallow Subsurface Geophysical Methods. (2015)
Recent collaboration between archaeologists, geophysicists, tribes, and preservationists has improved documentation and preservation of precontact and historic earthworks using non-invasive methods. The availability of LiDAR data has revolutionized preservation efforts in the historic Dakota homeland by allowing us to identify and document cemeteries over large areas. At the site-specific scale, aerial LiDAR imaging is utilized in conjunction with subsurface geophysical imaging of earthworks...
Non-Reservation Reservation Era Post-Contact Archeology (2018)
What happens to the identity of indigenous people when they are raised in a tribal community but not within the boundaries of a reservation? The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma (UKB) are one of three federally recognized Cherokee tribes and are also known as the "Old Settlers" or "Western Cherokee." The UKB established a reservation in Indian Territory via treaty in 1828. Although the tribe never relinquished this treaty claim, today the United States government does not...
