Previously excavated and curated collections are often seen as unworthy of serious scholarly attention. The drive to produce using entirely "new" excavations, artifacts, and data sets underlies and reinforces this pattern. This paper discusses two major components of using decades-old collections: research and responsibility. It first summarizes recent research demonstrating the accretion of class identity among French Huguenots in early 18th-century New York City. It then moves on to offer...

The Humachis of Huancavelica during the Late Colonial Period (AD 1780-1840) (2016)
This paper will present preliminary results from excavations at Santa Barbara, the central labor encampment for the mercury mines of Huancavelica. Located in the Central Peruvian Andes, Huancavelica was the largest source of mercury in the Western Hemisphere and a critical source of wealth for Spain’s colonial empire. The Spanish administration mobilized labor through the infamous mita, a rotational labor tax that required colonial provinces to send one-seventh of their population to work in the...
Human or Machine? An Analysis Of Saw Marks On Animal Bones From Two Sites In St. Charles, MO (2017)
With the invention of the mechanical, circular saw in 1928, can the spacing of the saw marks clue us in to what type of saw was used? Saw marks on animal bones at two sites in St. Charles, MO are analyzed to determine if they were sawed by hand or by a machine and perhaps whether or not people used a circular saw or straight saw. Irregular spacing is thought to be the hallmark of hand sawing and this paper will discuss the findings of differences in spacing and type of saw marks to aid in both...

The Hunt for the Forts of New Sweden (2013)
The remains of Fort Elfsborg may be in a modern marshland, and the remains of Fort Christina may lie underneath 150 years worth of heavy industrial occupation.

The Hunting and Foraging Strategies of an Enslaved Population at the Belvoir Plantation (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology and Analysis of the Belvoir Quarter" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Historic literature frequently alludes to plantation owners being unable to or unwilling to adequately feed their slaves. It was therefore not uncommon for slaves to supplement their diet with wild game. There has been little said of how this was done. Specifically how were the work intensive tasks of hunting and foraging...
