Since the Colonial period, inhabitants of the Outer Banks of North Carolina processed right whales to augment their existence until the turn of the 20th century. What began as drift-whale scavenging became organized hunts. Each spring, the locals kept lookouts from high dunes and launched boats from shore in pursuit of whales. The historical record indicates that they did so for over two centuries with moderate success. Locating archaeological signatures along this coast is problematic due...

Shoshoni Emigrant Interaction at Fort Bridger, Wyoming 1843-1868 (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Contact and Colonialism" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 1983 to the present, excavations have been underway at Fort Bridger State Historic Site in southwest Wyoming. In excavation we found a protohistoric component that indicates extensive Shoshoni trade at the site from 1843-1868.

A Shot in the Dark: Assessing the Navigational Capabilities of H.L. Hunley (2018)
Early submarines faced many logistical challenges, one of them being the ability to steer and navigate while submerged. The Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley was no exception to this problem. Hunley’s depth and direction while in operation were the responsibility of its captain, who sat in the forward most crew station and, according to the historical and archaeological record, determined the vessel’s course based on a compass and dead reckoning. Recent archaeological study has begun to...
Shouting to Wake the Dead: Is it Time for a Historic Graves Protection Act? (2018)
As many as 300,000 abandoned historic cemeteries exist in the United States today, yet as few as 0.4% of these are protected from disturbance by listing on the National Register of Historic Places. While NAGPRA also protects Native Burial sites on public land, and federal regulations such as ARPA shield some additional archaeological resources, the remainder of ancestral dead of all ethnicities are vulnerable to exhumation during construction. The archaeological excavation of such cemeteries may...
