Virginia (State / Territory) (Geographic Keyword)
3,376-3,400 (9,361 Records)
Thanks to a historical map, a radar and conductivity survey could identify two former buildings for slaves. Survey for Donna Seifert (John Milner Assoc.).
A Geophysical Survey at Mount Vernon (1984)
The radar survey was particularly good for locating French drains and unmarked graves. Survey for: Alain Outlaw (Virginia Hist Landmarks Com), and Mount Vernon Ladies Assoc of Union
A Geophysical Survey at Poquoson (1997)
Geophysical search with radar, conductivity, magnetic, and resistivity surveys of this early colonial site; survey also in the bottom of a broad excavation. Survey for Robert Haas (Virginia Foundation for Arch. Research).
A Geophysical Survey at Rural Plains (2008)
Radar and conductivity surveys find debris, but probably not the fortification trench that was sought. Survey for Dave Dutton (Dutton Associates).
A Geophysical Survey at the Alexandria Freedmen's Cemetery (1998)
Neither the radar nor the conductivity survey appears to have aided the search for unmarked graves here. Survey for Terry H. Klein (URS Greiner).
A Geophysical Survey at the Bruton Parish Churchyard (1985)
Resistivity was best in the search for the Bacon vault; radar detected unmarked graves; magnetic and conductivity surveys were not as helpful. Survey for the Vertitat Foundation and it was coordinated mainly by John Milewski.
A Geophysical Survey at the Chancellorsville Battlefield (2000)
The rubble-filled cellar at the Bullock site was readily detected, but not the chimney remains. The fireplace foundation of the Fairview cabin appears to have been detected. Survey for Robert Krick (NPS).
A Geophysical Survey at the Ellwood-Lacy House (1985)
A magnetic, radar, and resistivity survey around this early house found many interesting patterns, but probably not the slave cabins that were sought. Survey for Doug Campana (NPS).
A Geophysical Survey at the St. George Tucker House (1995)
Radar, resistivity, and magnetic survey around a house in Williamsburg for Andrew Edwards (Colonial Williamsburg Foundation).
A Geophysical Survey at the Watt House, Richmond National Battlefield (1999)
Neither the radar nor the magnetic survey could locate the brick pavement that excavation later unearthed. Survey also at the Garthright house, for Allen H. Cooper (NPS),
A Geophysical Survey at the West House, Richmond National Battlefield (2001)
Magnetic, conductivity, radar, and resistivity surveys locate features that appear to be buried buildings, but all appear to be natural features. Survey for Benjamin Ford (Rivanna Archaeological Consulting).
A Geophysical Survey of College Yard (2004)
The conductivity survey at the College of William and Mary was strongly-affected by buried pipes, but that survey and the radar detected unusual features there. Survey for College of William and Mary,
A Geophysical Survey of the Tunnel to the Crater (2005)
A radar appears to have detected voids above the tunnel where it has collapsed. Survey for Jerry Helton (NPS),
A Geophysical Survey on Virginius Island (1987)
This magnetic and radar survey at Harpers Ferry found strong, but complex, anomalies. Survey for: Stephen Potter and Susan Frye (NPS).
A Geophysical Test at the Crater, Petersburg Battlefield (2004)
Radar and conductivity surveys define features inside and near the Crater at the Petersburg Battlefield. Survey for Dave Shockley (NPS).
A Geophysical Test Next to the Pettus Plantation (1999)
A radar search for graves at this colonial site; survey for William B. Voliva (Busch Properties) and Nick Luccketti.
Geophysical Tests in the Fort Morton Excavations (1998)
Vertical profiles were measured on the faces of excavations with a resistiivty meter and a magnetic susceptiblity meter for David Orr (NPS).
Geophysics and Historical Archaeology: A Collaboration Between Two Departments (2016)
In June and July of 2015, Industrial Archaeologists from Michigan Technological University working with MTU's geophyics field school conducted field work that consisted of the use of ground penetrating radar, magnetometry, resistivity testing, and LIDAR, to help identify the location of features associated with the earliest African American pioneers of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This poster details the process and discusses the findings.
George Dixon: Personal artifacts of H.L. Hunley’s enigmatic captain. (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Lives Revealed: Interpreting the Human Remains and Personal Artifacts from the Civil War Submarine H. L. Hunley" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. George E. Dixon was the last captain of the H.L. Hunley submarine. He was the most famous member of the crew during the historic events surrounding the submarine’s sinking of USS Housatonic, but many details of his life remain a mystery. This paper will take a...
George Toasts George? (It’s Complicated): 'G.R.' Mugs and the Changing Identity of the Washington Family from Loyal Brits to Revolutionaries (2018)
The presence of ‘G.R.’ drinking vessels on mid-eighteenth century archaeological sites in Virginia is typically nothing to write home about… unless the sites in question are associated with individuals who were to become significant figures in the American Revolution. ‘G.R.’ vessels have been recovered from George Washington’s boyhood home at Ferry Farm, and Kenmore, his sister Betty’s home with her husband Fielding Lewis, a financier of the Revolution. Like most colonists, they viewed...
Geospatial Analysis of the Highbourne Cay Shipwreck Maritime Landscape (2018)
In archaeology, context is key. Advanced technology allows the expansion of accurate site context from in situ artifact assemblages to globally geo-referenced datasets. Custom aerial imagery over the Highbourne Cay littoral zone facilitated the creation of tailored orthomosaics and digital elevation models. Blended with bathymetry from underwater imaging, manually acquired data points, and public datasets, this geospatial analysis of the Highbourne Cay shipwreck littoral zone provides the most...
A Geospatial and Statistical Analysis of North Carolina’s First World War Naval Battlescape (2018)
Although the United States was late to enter into the First World War, the waters of the nation became a battlefield by the summer of 1918. Ships operating along North Carolina’s coast recurrently fell victim to the unrestricted U-boat campaign. This paper presents a historical and archaeological study of compiled records of all vessels, infrastructure, civilians, and combatants lost, damaged, or attacked in war-related incidents. This study employs Geographical Information System (GIS) software...
Geospatial Interpretations of Enslaved Landscapes in the Antebellum Georgia Lowcountry (2018)
This project uses geospatial landscape theory to explore how enslaved people living in settlements on the Sapelo Plantation signaled their African and Caribbean roots through overt and covert materials and landscape patterns in Bush Camp Field and Behavior settlements. Enslaved people at the Sapelo Plantation were likely granted higher levels of relative independence, resulting in a different relationship with the landscape than enslaved people at contemporaneous lowcountry plantations. I...
Geospatial Investigations into a Woodland Period Post Mold Alignment at the Silver Glen Springs Archaeological Complex, Florida (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The landscape of the Silver Glen Springs Archaeological Complex has been extensively modified for at least 9000 years, including the construction of shell mounds and wooden post structures. The focus of previous research at this complex on reconstructing the massive Shell mounds and monuments along the spring run has left the non-mounded areas...
