Whither The Tavern Pattern? (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marley Brown III. Kathleen J. Bragdon.

A rigorous vessel form comparison of two archaeological assemblages in the collections of Plimoth Plantation, those recovered from the Wellfleet tavern site on Great Island, and the Joseph Howland site, located in Kingston, Massachusetts, represented the first careful study of a tavern component in relation to a domestic one. This paper evaluates the original interpretive framework of that early study, framed in terms of occupational differences of site owners, in view of the changing...

Who is "Free" Today?: Negotiating the documentary record of labor history for archaeology (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael P Roller.

Beginning with Marx, labor history was founded upon illuminating the role the working class can play in challenging our system of political economy. As vogelfrei (literally "bird-free") or rightless, unprotected bodies condemned to only sell their labor, the lives of the working class have been imagined to inhabit a kind of empty raw inertia propelling mass social change. Labor history has responded to this basic idea throughout its disciplinary history, changing with material, political,...

Who Was The Woman In The Iron Coffin? (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Warnasch. Gerald Conlogue. Kevin Karem. Jenna Kuttruff.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2011, the body of an African-American woman who had died from smallpox was discovered buried in a Fisk metallic burial case in Elmhurst, Queens, New York. Her level of preservation made it necessary to contact the Center for Disease Control to confirm that the virus was no longer viable. Analysis of the woman’s remains provided ground-breaking insights into how smallpox colonizes...

Who/What Is In That Vial? (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Shannon Freire.

Archaeologists typically conceptualize the "material" in an integrated analysis of material culture and biological data as artifacts/objects/things recovered through excavation from an historic mortuary setting. However, further explorations of meaning are possible when the definition of material encompasses both what is recovered and produced by archaeologists. Destructive testing, as a component of bioarchaeological analysis, creates additional materialized relationships between the living and...

Whole Molding Construction in Baía de Todos os Santos, Brazil (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Filipe Castro. Denise G. Dias.

The survival of late medieval Mediterranean techniques to conceive and build ships and boats in Brazil was noted by John Patrick Sarsfield in the 1980s, but his study of the Valença shipwrights was interrupted by his tragic death in 1990. This paper is a contribution to the understanding of these shipbuilding techniques, which are still widely used in the region, from Valença to the Baía de Todos os Santos area.

Whose Midden is it Anyway? : Exploring the Origins of the Southwest Yard Midden at James Madison's Montpelier (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott N. Oliver.

During the 2014 field season, the Montpelier Archaeology Department sampled an area known as the Southwest Yard. A large midden containing approximately 14,300 individual faunal elements and fragments was found. The Southwest Yard is located in close proximity to the domestic enslaved living and working area known as the South Yard, suggesting the midden could belong to the enslaved community. Within the South Yard, however, is an 18th century kitchen known as the South Kitchen. I will look at...

Why 17th and Early 18th Century Sites are Under-Represented, A Delaware–New Jersey Perspective (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William Liebeknecht.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution”: Identifying and Understanding Early Historic-Period House Sites" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. We have all missed sites or misidentified sites…so why does this happen? Early historic sites are everywhere in the Middle Atlantic, but they are not infinite. If you are conducting archaeological surveys in this region and not finding these early sites routinely, you may want to...

Why BISC-2’s Brick Ballast May Have the Most Interesting (Archaeological) Things to Say about Imperial Marginality (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean H Reid. Stephen Lubkemann.

In this paper we will analyze the documented ballast of the BISC-2 site focusing on three primary—and interlinked-- questions: 1-the archaeological evidence that this was a case of ballast as cargo; 2-the mounting empirical evidence that suggests that these bricks may be "ladrillos" –a form manufactured in Spanish (rather than British)North America; 3-and the potential implications of finding this type of likely less documented cargo on a ship that was clearly carrying a large cargo of English...

Why Move? : A case study of change and migration in rural Ireland and connections to broader social and political movements (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Shakour.

Scholars acknowledge that residential practices changed throughout 19-20th century Irish coastal villages, Little research, however, has explored these residential changes from the conceptual frameworks of the Irish famine and consequential social upheaval. This paper explores 19th and 20th century social and residential history of Westquarter, Inishbofin, Co. Galway, Ireland. Centered on village residential changes, I track concurrent patterns of continuity, relocation and migration of...

Why we conserve artifacts, the CSS Georgia Story. (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jim Jobling.

As part of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, the USACE, Savannah District, tasked Panamerican Consultants with archaeologically recording and systematically recovering the artifacts from the wreck of the CSS Georgia. More than 125 tons of material was recovered, which created a few interesting challenges for the field crew and the Conservation Research Lab. What artifacts does one conserve, and what do we document and rebury. This paper presents a number of ways that a well-equipped...

The Wickedest City: Ecological History and Archaeological Potential at La Balise (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Arlice Marionneaux.

La Balise was a French outpost in the Southeast Pass of the Mississippi River -- one of the most geologically dynamic landscapes on earth. The fort was built in 1723 to defend the waterway from encroaching armies and to justify relocating Louisiana’s capital from Biloxi to New Orleans. La Balise’s geographical position led it to become the colony’s port of call, and its frontier environment fostered a profusion of cultural and technological adaptations. However, the same environmental conditions...

The Wide and Wonderful World of Digital Archaeology in Cultural Resource Management (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Russell Alleen-Willems.

Archaeologists in Cultural Resource Management (CRM) adopt digital tools to improve both the efficiency and quality of our work. While archaeologists have often adopted new tools, technology like digital tablets, user-friendly databases, 3D scanning/modeling/visualization tools, and accessible media like blogs and podcasts provide new opportunities to greatly expand the extent and speed of data collection, as well as the ways archaeologists may disseminate both data and research results. For...

Wild animal use and landscape interpretations at Pimeria Alta Spanish colonial sites (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicole Mathwich.

European livestock accompanied the foundation of Spanish missions and presidios in the arid Pimeria Alta, altering the local landscape and native society. Livestock connected desert farmers to distant colonial markets and providing a new source of protein and grease, but also required new economic, social, and spatial arrangements, potentially affecting the availability of wild animals in native communities near Spanish colonial sites . This paper surveys wild animal presence and diversity at...

William Berkley, Civil War Sutler: Archaeological Investigations (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only W. Stephen McBride. Kim A. McBride. Philip B. Mink. George Crothers.

Sutler stores were a common component of large Civil War era camps. At Camp Nelson, a large Union Civil War Depot in Jessamine County, Kentucky, several stores are listed in official records. The store run by William Berkley has been the site of archaeological investigation for the last few years. New work at the site has greatly expanded our understanding of the breadth of goods sold, including the international original of many goods. These excavations have also enhanced our...
