‘Success to America.’ The Role of British Creamware in the Production of American National Identity. (2016)
Excavations at New York City’s South Street Seaport uncovered an early nineteenth century deposit within the foundation of a small building on the property of a wealthy merchant. Among the artifacts in the deposit was a creamware plate that paid homage to the "sacred" memory of George Washington. Along with this solemn memorial, the imagery on the plate included a neoclassic goddess waving an olive branch towards a mercantile ship on the horizon. Despite the irony, British potters produced many...

"A Sudden Flaw of Wind" -The Politics, Prize, and Pottery of the British Sloop of War DeBraak (2018)
On May 25th, 1798 the British brig-sloop DeBraak was struck by a sudden squall and sank while attempting to put into harbor at Lewes, Delaware. The unpredictable winds of the Delaware Cape may have spelled her demise, but it was the shifting political winds of war between Revolutionary France and England, coupled with the vulnerability of American shipping and a new nation’s demand for manufactured goods, that brought this warship to Delaware’s shores. This paper examines the ceramics...
Sultan: Cleveland’s Grindstone Wreck (2013)
Due to a novice captain’s error in judgment the brigantine Sultan foundered in Lake Erie off Cleveland, Ohio during a storm in 1864. As the brigantine came to rest in shallow water only a few miles from shore with masts exposed, six of the eight crew climbed the rigging in an effort to survive. One by one, however, the crew succumbed to the fury of the storm leaving a sole survivor to be rescued and to share the harrowing tale. The wreck of the Sultan was discovered in 2011 by the...
Sultana: Greatest Maritime Tragedy in United States History: A Nation's Best Kept Secret (2015)
The disaster of Sultana has been recognized as the greatest maritime tragedy in United States history. The wreck has little notoriety, despite its significance, due to historical overshadowing and a terminal resting place in the landlocked state of Arkansas. Efforts for salvage were immediate, but archaeological undertakings have been cautious and sporadic. An unwelcoming landscape and lack of interest and funding have consorted so that as we approach the sesquicentennial anniversary of...

Summer Harvests, Winter Meals: Home Canning at the African American Community of Timbuctoo, NJ (2015)
This paper focuses on the continuing work at the African American community of Timbuctoo in Westampton, New Jersey. While our initial guiding questions sought to uncover cultural retentions that could be retraced to West Africa, the realities of our archaeological work shifted our focus to a complex discourse on social and economic class. Specifically, this paper discusses the practice of home canning as a medium to resist and improvise against economic marginalization. Through this discussion,...

Sunken Aircraft of the Battle of Midway (2017)
In June of 2017, the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway will occur as archeologists begin the first dedicated project to discover the sunken aircraft at the atoll involved in the battle. Often considered as the turning point of the Pacific Front in World War II, Midway has been difficult to study archaeologically because of the remoteness of the location, and the difficulty in surveying around the treacherous reefs that surround it. Efforts to locate submerged aircraft have been made...
The Sunken Military Craft Inventory: Navy Sinking Exercise (SINKEX) Vessels and the Challenge of Dynamic Research (2016)
The new Sunken Military Craft Act regulations encouraged a reexamination of the Sunken Military Craft Inventory (SMCI). SMCI research is a dynamic process that continues to expand the management of sunken military craft overtime. The SMCI was challenged on 7 July 2014 when Nautilus Live discovered the USS Peterson (DD-969) in the Gulf of Mexico. The USS Peterson was a Navy sinking exercise (SINKEX) vessel that was intentionally sunk on 16 February 2004. This discovery prompted detailed research...

The locations and causes of sinking of many submarines have been documented, however the final resting...
"Superior to Any Other House in the South or West": The Daniel Edwards Foundry of New Orleans. (2018)
Archaeological recovery efforts at the site of CSS Georgia revealed brass and copper instruments known as gun sights. These gun sights facilitated the aiming of naval guns and are relatively rare in archaeological settings. After the American Civil War, material composed of cupreous metals, such as these sights, was melted and repurposed. A maker’s mark stamped on one of these instruments indicates that the manufacturer of these items was a certain Daniel Edwards whose foundry business was in...
