Miami is often presented as the poster child of sea level rise; while climate change is generally accepted as an observable fact in south Florida, elsewhere this issue is regarded as too politically charged for frequent discussion. This renders sensitive archaeological sites vulnerable to coastal erosion, storm surge, and other factors. The Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS) Florida program is designed to raise awareness of how these factors will impact...

Free African-Americans established Oberlin Village outside Raleigh, North Carolina in 1866 at the end of the Civil War. Within two generations, the people of Oberlin had constructed churches, a school, a cemetery, shops, and many homes. Today, Oberlin continues to be an important site for African-American history and identity. For example, Oberlin Cemetery (established 1873) is one of only four African-American cemeteries in Raleigh. The cemetery’s more than 600 graves include many leading...

This is an abstract from the "Technology and Public Outreach" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. African-American gardening traditions involving such features as wheels, bottle trees, mirros, and silvered statuary have been identified across the United States.  What are not always included in analyses of these gardens are the significance of flowers and other plantings or the changes within a garden over time.  Together, terrestrial LiDAR and...

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Sesquicentennial State Park, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and opened to the public in 1940, contains multiple archaeological sites representing both precontact and historic occupations. Current archaeological excavations are focused on investigating the history of nineteenth and twentieth century African American communities which were...

Recent research on early 19th-century slave households at James Madison’s Montpelier in Virginia has focused on comparative household assemblage analysis on a number of levels including the local (between households within a single community), region (households within a market region), and the Atlantic (comparison of households between Jamaica and the Chesapeake).  An important element in this comparative household analysis is scalar analysis.  Scalar analysis is an analytical tool that allows...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Utah has been a home to the Hollywood film industry since the 1920s. The unique landscape has provided the film industry with awe-inspiring options for creating iconic scenes in television and movies production. The Utah Division of State History’s Antiquities Section has identified the shooting locations of 570 films and counting. This research has identified temporal trends in the...

In 1760 the London-based philanthropy, the Associates of Dr. Bray, established a charity school for the religious education of free and enslaved African American children in Williamsburg, the eighteenth-century capitol of the Virginia colony.   Known as the Bray School, the school was briefly housed in a rented dwelling adjacent to the campus of the College of William and Mary.  The archaeological investigation of the suspected site of the Bray school in 2012 was a rare opportunity to materially...

Over the past half century Robert Schulyer’s penetrating intellect and rigorous scholarship has had a deep and sustained impact on the development and maturation of the field of Historical Archaeology. His impact has been nowhere as profound as in his role as a mentor to generations of students. Not a few of those students share the common experience of having their professional career course sent careening, topsy-turvy, in unanticipated directions under the influence of Schulyer’s catholic...

Robert Schuyler’s Historical Archaeology: A Guide to Substantive and Theoretical Contributions was first published in 1978 and is now in its fifth printing. The Guide was the first work to gather together some of the most important founding documents of the relatively new field of historical archaeology and is still in use in undergraduate and graduate courses today. This paper will review the themes of that volume, as selected and edited by Dr. Schuyler, and will discuss how the ideas put forth...

In 2010 and 2011, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA), the Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) of the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), and the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) investigated a War of 1812 shipwreck (site 18PR226) in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The wreck, a relatively intact fully-decked vessel, is believed to have served in the Chesapeake Flotilla, a small fleet of gunboats and support craft commanded by Commodore Joshua Barney during the defense of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists working in isolated rural locales continue to face the challenge of protecting archaeological sites from threats of looting and vandalism. Whether physically secluded beyond a watchful eye or simply located on private lands with few legal protections, sites in these rural spaces are at particular risk for damage or (un)intentional...

Over the past 2 years the SHIPS Project has set out to conduct several dozen oral histories concerning divers’ recollections from the early days of scuba diving in Plymouth, UK.  These oral histories were undertaken for several reasons, to better understand the layout of virgin shipwrecks when first located, to record the items recovered, which are affectionately known as ‘spidge’, and to document the human interest  and lust for ‘scrannying’. What has been explored and expanded upon within the...

Recovering meaningful information from ephemeral, short-term work camps in the west is challenging, given the brief occupation time, absence of shelters other than tents or portable structures, and informal layout and design.  One methodological approach that has proved effective for research at camps with shallow or no subsurface deposits focuses on exposing and investigating the horizontal deposits across the sites.  Archaeological studies of Chinese occupied camps related to mining, railroad...

Here in the NMSC archeology lab, we are privileged to work with archeological collections from national parks across the Northeast.  Many of these collections were excavated before 1987, and in many cases, sat untouched and unutilized in storage until they were eligible for cataloging funds.  We have seen firsthand the incredible research potential – unknown and untapped for decades – that these collections offer.  One memorable collection from Petersburg National Battlefield was excavated in...

Richmond, Virginia’s first official archaeological site record dates to 1963. In the intervening half century, the archaeological landscape has changed in physical and metaphorical ways. One important yardstick of these changes is the 1985 Richmond Metropolitan Area Archeological Survey (RMAAS), a large regional planning project conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University Archaeological Research Center. This paper explores Richmond’s archaeological landscape through a Geographical Information...
