Grave Identification Survey Fort Lee Adams Roundabout, Prince George County, Virginia (2010)

DOCUMENT Full-Text New South Associates, Inc. . Hugh B. Matternes. David Price. Sarah Lowry.

This investigation addressed the location of an unmarked cemetery on property currently owned by Prince George County, adjacent to U.S. Army Fort Lee Military Reservation in eastern Virginia. Historical research indicated that the burial ground was associated with the laboring Sisters of the Vine Burial Association who used it as a cemetery in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Open, wooded, paved and wet conditions in the roughly 1.3-acre project required the use of...

Great Dismal Swamp Land Study (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jordan Riccio. Justin E. Uehlein. Becca Peixotto.

The Great Dismal Swamp Landscape Study (GDSLS), which was formed in 2002, has been investigating the swamp by means of archaeological excavation. The project has been successful in exploring the enigmatic history of disenfranchised Native Americans, African Maroons, and others who sought refuge from the colonial world ca. 1660-1865.The project revolves around a predictive model of community structure that can be tested on various sites in the swamp. Current research focuses on the interior, or...

The Great House and the Old Plate (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean Devlin.

Archaeological interpretations of consumption have long recognized its role in the construction of social identities and in the furtherance of social goals. While much of the historical archaeology of Jamaica, and indeed the Caribbean more broadly, has focused on exploring the consumption choices of enslaved Africans and African descendants, similar studies of archaeologically recovered planter patterns have not received as much attention. Yet, as archaeologies of whiteness are beginning to...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jack Rossen.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper discusses recent investigations at a hunter-gatherer base camp in northwest Arkansas. Excavations at the Greathouse Springs site (3WA569), near Fayetteville in Washington County produced unusual remains of Archaic structures. Included are two elongated rectangular structures, interpreted as communal cookhouses, and at least four smaller...

The Greek House that America Built: Remittance Archaeology in the Global South (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kostis Kourelis.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A quarter of the working-age male population of Greece migrated to the U.S. between 1900 and 1915. Remittances sent home made up a third of Greece’s gross domestic product that was invested in the construction of rural houses, schools, and churches. Many of these villages were destroyed during the Second World War and the Greek Civil War or were depopulated in the mass urbanization...

Green Stone Pendants of the Florida Middle Archaic: Trade and Lithic Ornament Construction as Evidence for Early Social Difference (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Horvey Palacios. Traci Ardren.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Little Salt Spring mortuary pond is located in south central Sarasota County, Florida. It has been the subject of numerous significant discoveries that have challenged our understanding of the earliest occupations of the Americas. Two green stone pendants recovered from the basin, and dated to the Middle Archaic period (700-500 BP) also test current models ...

Ground Penetrating Radar Investigation Phase I Testing of the Parade Ground, Phase II Testing of Locus 3 and Continental Par, Fort Monroe/Historic Fort George, Fort Monroe, Virginia 23651 (2004)

DOCUMENT Full-Text PANAMERICAN CONSULTANTS, INC.. Radar Solutions International.

Numerous potential features have been interpreted from GPR data and time-depth slice images. While most of the targets identified are likely attributed to Fort Monroe activities, there is a strong possibility that some of these GPR targets are from historic Fort George. At the Continental Park - Locus 3 Site, a linear feature observed north of Fenwick Street, trending parallel to, and about 13 feet north of, the sidewalk, appears to be more characteristic of a brick wall or wall foundation,...

Ground Truthing the Future: Using Contact Era Archaeological Information to Test and Communicate Sea Level Change (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Edward B Lane. Brent Lane.

Coastal North Carolina has 3,375 miles of shoreline, much of it fronting low-lying lands increasingly vulnerable to flooding and inundation exacerbated by a long-term process of sea-level rise. This vulnerability has made the area a fruitful laboratory for environmental science studies of sea level change and its environmental and societal effects. But the issue of forecasting sea level rise for public policy and land use management has become controversial due in part to the difficulty of...

Ground-Penetrating Radar and Rapid Site Identification and Characterization: Examples from the Theodore Turley Home Site, Nauvoo, Illinois (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan Saltzgiver. Benjamin C. Pykles. John H. McBride.

Nauvoo, Illinois, is among the most important sites in the history of the Latter-day Saint movement in the United States. Since the 1960s, Nauvoo has been the site of significant historical and archaeological research and interpretation. With an estimated 1 million visitors annually, the competing needs to preserve the archaeological assets and the continued desire to improve the visitor experience necessitates the most accurate knowledge of these buried resources possible. This presentation...

Ground-Penetrating Radar Prospection for 17th Century Archaeological Sites (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel Welch. Peter Leach.

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. Early colonial archaeological sites often exhibit low artifact densities during walkover or other early-phase field investigations. Furthermore, numerous feature classes may be present but not sampled by traditional testing strategies. These are detectable with geophysical surveys,...
