Reconstructing Urban Landscapes at Fort Recovery, Ohio (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Amanda E Balough. Bryan Mitchell. Mark D Groover. Christine Thompson.

Urban landscapes were active environments in the past that present unique challenges during site investigations.  During summer 2016 students and staff with Ball State University conducted excavations at the site of Fort Recovery, an early Federal period fort constructed in 1793.  Site investigations in the town lot consisted of two GPR surveys and the excavation of a ca. 40 square meter area.  Field results revealed the town lot was intensively used from the 1790s to the 1940s.  Based on...

Reconstruction of the Lake Champlain Steamboat Phoenix II (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Carolyn Kennedy.

The hull of the Lake Champlain steamboat Phoenix II, built in 1820 and retired in Shelburne Shipyard in 1837, was archaeologically investigated over the course of three field seasons by a team of nautical archaeologists from Texas A&M University and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. A reconstruction of Phoenix II from the archaeological material promises to fill several significant gaps in our understanding of the development and diversification of steam technology. To date, only one other...


Reconstruction of the Pillar Dollar Wreck, BIscayne National Park, Florida (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only William L Fleming.

The PIllar Dollar wreck is well-known to treasure salvors and looters, but has only recently been investigated in an archaeological sense. East Carolina University's Program in Maritime Studies conducted an excavation of the site for the Program's 2014 Fall Field School in September. With the knowledge garnered from that project, as well as previous condition reports and treasure salvor guides, this project aims to reconstruct the vessel and learn about its origins and use. The final result will...

Recording Shipwrecks At The Speed Of Light: Experimental Use Of An Underwater Laser Scanner On The Confederate Ironclad, CSS Georgia (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael C. Murray.

Since the dawn of underwater archaeology, the ability to record features with a high level of accuracy and detail compared to terrestrial sites has been an extremely difficult prospect. However, according to 2G Robotics, the ULS-200 underwater laser scanner can resolve features on an astounding millimetric scale, but under the most ideal conditions. While this has some very exciting implications for the field of underwater archaeology, the CSS Georgia resides in an extremely challenging and...


Recording the Highbourne Cay Shipwreck: The Process of Documenting a 16th Century Shipwreck Before In Situ Conservation (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Raphael M Franca. Nicholas C. Budsberg. Annaliese Dempsey.

The Highbourne Cay shipwreck in the Bahamas was discovered in the 1960s by three skin divers and partially salvaged shortly thereafter by the discoverers under a permit from the government of the Bahamas.  The metallic remains of the vessel’s armament were recovered at that time, and surviving hull structure was revealed underneath a ballast mound.  The site was periodically surveyed in subsequent decades, and in the summer of 2017 a field season was conducted to excavate and fully record the...

Recovered Civil War Era Bayonet - Electrolytic Conservation of Iron Artifacts (2009)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Fort Lee Regional Archaeological Curation Facility.

Due to the nature of the find, any contextual analysis of the artifact would be purely speculative. The bayonet was recovered from a deep excavation pit which contained several layers of artificial fill which had, over time, been added on top of the natural strata of the original ground surface. Without out knowing the exact positioning within the layers it can not be determined if the artifact was in its original place of deposition or it was brought in as part of the fill. The area of...

After arriving at the site, the archaeologist recovered a heavily corroded bayonet which had been inadvertently excavated by heavy machinery. The area of discovery was an approximately ten foot deep excavated pit within the limits of construction. After the surrounding area was searched for additional cultural remains it was determined...


Recovering Family History: Archaeological Investigations at the James Holliday House in Annapolis, Maryland (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn H Deeley. Dolores Levister.

For the descendants of the people studied by archaeologists, archaeology can be deeply personal, as it reveals forgotten details of a family’s past. In the case of the James Holliday House in Annapolis, Maryland, the same African American family has occupied the James Holliday House since 1850. In 2009, the great-great-granddaughter of James Holliday asked Archaeology in Annapolis to help fill in the blanks about her family’s history, simply because there was very little information from family...


Recovering the Landscape of an Abandoned Town in Port Tobacco, Maryland (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah A. Grady. Esther D. Read.

During the eighteenth century, Port Tobacco was a bustling port town located along the Port Tobacco River in Charles County, Maryland. Today it is a small village with few surviving structures and no commercial establishments. Between 2008 and 2011, systematic archaeological survey of the town defined the locations of many of the town’s early buildings. We recently began a new phase of research within the remains of a print shop. Our current excavation builds on earlier work and allows us to...

Recreating Historic Photography as a Tool for Archaeologists (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven Holm.

Historic photography is often beautiful and steeped in history but can also be used as a tool for archaeologists in relocating structures, identifying features, and situating historic places within their modern and captured viewsheds. Photographing a site is paramount nowadays for documenting the archaeological record. We have the opportunity to exploit historic photographs for additional data beyond site documentation that can lead to better research designs, excavation planning, and site...
