"Oh Freedom Over Me:" Space, Agency, and Identity at Elam Baptist Church in Ruthville, Virginia (2015)
Founded in 1810, Elam Baptist Church was one of the first Virginian churches that free blacks controlled. The church's architectural layout cited that of local white churches, containing separate entrances for whites, free blacks and enslaved blacks. This paper discusses the ways in which the agency and identity of the local free black community emerged through the historically and spatially specific relationships in which Elam was enmeshed. The boundaries that the free black community created...

An ‘Old Admiralty Longshank’ Anchor from Admiralty Bay, Washington: The HMS Chatham’s Lost Anchor? (2015)

"Old Al's Going To Get It," At Least For A While: Recent Riverine Archaeology in Arkansas (2015)
To understand Arkansas history, it is constructive to study the use of the extensive network of navigable waterways in and near the State. In the last 30 years, archaeologists have documented recovered Native American canoes, as well as researched vessels employed from the Trail of Tears in the 1830s to the end of the Wooden Age in the 1930s. A major step was at West Memphis on the Mississippi in 1988, when record low water permitted professionals and amateurs to use dry-land field techniques to...
Old Chapel Field (44ST233)
The Old Chapel Field site (18ST233) is part of an early Jesuit settlement located south of St. Mary’s City in St. Mary’s County, Maryland.

In addition, a fort was built there by 1637, in an effort to protect the fledgling colony from naval attack. This fort was large enough to accommodate the local population...
