"Representativeness" and Sampling Dilemmas: A Comparison of Slave Cabins at the Bulow Plantation (1821-1836), Flagler County, Florida (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary Elizabeth Ibarrola. James Davidson.

For three summers University of Florida researchers have worked at the Bulow Plantation, a large sugar plantation in East Florida founded in 1821 and destroyed by fire in 1836 during the Second Seminole War, in an attempt to understand the parameters of enslavement at that site.  In 2014 and 2015, the UF Archaeological Field School completely exposed the footprint of Cabin 1; relatively few artifacts were recovered, including an almost complete lack of buttons, beads, and other personal...

Research Approaches to Abandoned Cemeteries in Wisconsin. (2020)

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Requests to disturb within the boundaries of a burial site will often require additional research, especially in cases involving abandoned...

Research of US Navy Terrestrial Military Aircraft Wrecks (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Blair Atcheson.

The US Navy (USN) manages a collection of over 14,000 historic aircraft wrecks, a significant portion of which are terrestrial sites. In addition to planned research of terrestrial aircraft wreck sites, the Navy often receives notice from the public of a potential USN aircraft wreck and must determine how best to respond. Increasing notifications from the public have led to the development of various approaches to site management that take into account local public interest, property ownership...


The Research Potential of DNA from Tobacco Pipes (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Julie Schablitsky.

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. Often, archaeologists are challenged by assigning cultural affiliations to their sites. Recently, four tobacco pipe stems were collected from a Maryland slave quarter and sent to a DNA lab. The analysis revealed the ancestry and sex of one of the tobacco pipe smokers, thereby providing archaeoloigsts a scientific link to a...

Research Tools for Identifying and Analyzing British Transferware (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Leslie L. Bouterie.

At the home of President James Madison in Orange, Virginia, the rich archaeological deposits of transfer-printed ceramics provide valuable information about the presidential family, their many guests, and the enslaved community that lived and worked there. Due to the distinctive patterns, evolving styles, vessel forms, colors, and often limited production periods of the various makers, important historical clues can be gleaned from British transferware. In addition to referencing archival...

Researching an African American Founder With the Help of One of Historical Archaeology’s Founders (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Patrice L Jeppson.

This Robert Schuyler-dedicated Symposium paper considers three of Schuyler’s contributions to the field—his reflections on historical archaeology’s potential for the study of American national identity as a cultural and evolving process (1971, 1976), his call for an awareness of the importance of cultural context in archaeology research (1973), and his writing about the importance of conducting historical ethnography (1988). These foundational ideas shaping historical archaeology practice are...


Reservation Archaeology: Past, Current, and Future Themes (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kacy Hollenback. Wendi Field Murray. Jay Sturdevant.

The Reservation Era (AD 1778 to present) is a time of culture change and fight for cultural sovereignty. There are approximately 326 American Indian Reservations covering 56.2 million acres in the United States, numbers that fail to capture the realities of non-federally recognized groups, those with no land base, or indigenous peoples in Canada or Mexico. All of these communities experienced profound transformations in economies, cultural institutions, and socio-political structures during the...


Resistance and Revitalization in the Native American Southeast (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Tyler Michael.

Revitalization movements have been a topic of particular interest to anthropologists concerned with culture contact and colonialism. As a cultural practice that is present in many historical periods, it stands to reason that revitalization was undertaken in the deep past as well. Archaeology has proven useful in exploring the aftermath of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 from a Native American perspective in the American Southwest, and recently, scholars have begun to look for potential revitalization...


Resistance, Resilience, and Blackfoot Horse Culture from the Reservation Period to the Present (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Brandi Bethke.

Programs of forced settlement and assimilation were responsible for the loss of many aspects of traditional Blackfoot lifeways. At the same time, however, they also strengthened the identity of the Blackfoot people as they resisted absorption into Euroamerican culture. This resistance through adaptation is seen in the Blackfoot people’s continued use of and adoration for horses. While many elements of nomadic Blackfoot culture were abandoned in the late nineteenth century with the near...


Resolving Individual and Community Identities though Spirituality and Ritual: Some Insights from Burial Practices Observed at the First African Baptist Church Cemetery Sites, Philadelphia (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only John P McCarthy.

Several non-Western/non-Christian burial practices that made unusual use of ordinary material objects were seen at two cemeteries associated with the First African Baptist Church, Philadelphia.   These practices appear to have been influenced by beliefs about the afterlife and the spirit world developed from African and possibly other sources, and I have argued previously that the maintenance and possible reintroduction of these practices into the city’s African-American community are indicative...
