As part of Ash Lawn-Highland’s strategic direction, the historic site has undertaken a new phase of research to address lingering mysteries about the standing house and its story as a portion of James Monroe’s 1799 main residence. Addressing the questions involves a multi-disciplinary team and opens the door to the creation of revised public narratives. This paper discusses the points at which uncertainty entered the site’s established narratives, the range of research efforts in the current...

Old Records and New Tools: Using Historic Land Records to Structure Archaeological Survey and Historic Site Management on the Siuslaw National Forest (2015)
Over 3,900 land records are housed at the Siuslaw National Forest (SNF) headquarters offering valuable information on early 20th Century homesteading in Oregon’s Coast Range. Current SNF program direction aims to summarize this information to support archaeological site identification and the development of a historic context that will lead to a more effective management strategy for homestead sites. Initial work to meet this goal is underway through this author’s research, which will focus on...

Old Union Cemetery, Indiana (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2021, I started working on a privately funded preservation project doing 3D data curation for Old Union Cemetery of Marion County, Indiana in association with the Geospatial and Virtual Archaeology Labratory (GVALs) at Indiana State University. In this poster, I present our methods of processing the data that has been collected over the past 3 years...
Old Wood: Testing of the Transcontinental Railroad's Woody Legacy (2019)
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Renewed interest in the Transcontinental Railroad has resurfaced with the coming arrival of the 150th Anniversary of the completion of the line on May 10, 2019. Partnering with the Bureau of Land Management's Salt Lake Field Office, the Utah Division of State History has coordinated new efforts investigating the story in and around...
"Old" Collections, New Narrative: Rethinking the Native Past through Archaeological Collections from Eastern Long Island. (2016)
This paper highlights the value of existing museum and contract archaeology collections to new directions in archaeological research. Renewed attention to "old" data sets serves to decolonize archaeology and to challenge existing narratives with new questions. The collections discussed in this paper all come from eastern Long Island, New York. I draw attention to how narratives of Native American cultural loss and disappearance are constructed locally through archaeological heritage, and I...

On Cudjo’s Pipe: Smoking Dialogs in Diasporic Space (2015)
As a survivor of the last slaver to make the Atlantic crossing and a community leader in the Jim Crow-era American South of Mobile Alabama, Cudjo Lewis stands as an iconic diasporic figure. We know of Cudjo’s life on both sides of the Atlantic from extensive interviews by Zora Neale Hurston, local historians, and reporters from the New York Times. These reports describe a sullen patriarchal figure who spent the last years of his life morning the death of his children and the impossibility of...
On Dangerous Ground: Documenting the Undocumented Migration Project 2009-2014 (2015)
Started in 2009, the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP) developed out of an attempt to couple archaeological data on what border crossers left in the Arizona desert with ethnographic data collected at migrant shelters in Northern Mexico. The initial goal was to understand the informal economy that structured human smuggling and the various technologies of survival and subterfuge that people employed while crossing the Sonoran Desert. Since 2009, the project’s scope has significantly expanded...

"On Examining the Records of the Town we find an Omiſsion": Using Historical GIS (hGIS) in Conjunction with Archaeolgoical Excavation to Document Property Histories and Understand Changing Waterlines in Alexandria, Virginia. (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Archaeology: Down by the Water" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For terrestrial archaeologists working in urban and waterfront settings, the water’s edge frequently represents a boundary that is seemingly fixed and insurmountable, beyond which is figuratively (and sometimes literally) outside of their jurisdiction. However, the water should be seen as the connective tissue that link these port towns...
On Finding Smoke Town, a Late-eighteenth, to Mid-nineteenth Century, Rural Free Black Community Populated, in Circa 1791, by some of the 452 Manumitted Slaves of Robert Carter III. (2018)
The finding and excavation of a late eighteenth-century to mid-nineteenth century rural free black community cartographically known as Smoke Town or Leeds Town, on the Shenandoah River, Warren County, Virginia, populated by some of the 452 slaves manumitted (511 ultimately), by Robert Carter III by his Deed of Gift of 1791. Robert Carter III was an affluent grandson of Robert ‘King’ Carter. That Deed of Gift was the largest single manumission of slaves in America until the American Civil War –...
On Ideal and Real Ships: Shipbuilding Treatises c.1570 - 1620 C.E. and the Highbourne Cay Shipwreck (2018)
Archaeological hull remains are the only direct evidence of real shipbuilding practices, although treatises written by contemporaries detail various methods for controlling the construction of a ship. However, these technical documents were rarely written by shipwrights or experienced seamen, and at times the vessels and methods described in the text do not accurately describe each step in the shipbuilding process. Treatises written in the latter half of the 16th century and the beginning of...

On Making Waves and the Trickier Project of Surfing Them, Inside and Out of Academia (2015)
After finding me a free place to stay when I reported, homeless, to my first summer field school in 1996, Marley didn't give much indication that he thought me worth the effort. He was one tough customer, ever astute and incisive. But once I passed the gauntlet, he became my staunchest, most unfailingly generous mentor. Marley's influence cast its long shadow across my PhD Dissertation, which challenged standard historiography of Virginia’s ‘’tobacco’’ colony by placing craft production...
On Perception versus Reality. Clotilda? (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Enslavement" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Deductive reasoning and the importance of archaeological investigation to deconstruct and decipher scientific fact from popular belief. The strategy involved with preparing and presenting evidence to document a shipwreck that has been publicly suggested to be something it is not. As early the 1910s, recent history has suggested that the Twelvemile Island...
On Presidential Land: Archaeology of Roosevelt’s Neighbors, Tenants, and Workers (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Preservation of presidential homes as national historic sites helps keep alive the legacy of our former leaders. Tours, exhibits, and other interpretive materials recall the president’s rise to political and social power, but often ignores those who shared the same landscape, some of whom worked with and for the president. Archaeological research on presidential lands, such as the Home of...
On Seattle’s Edge: A Native American Refuge on the Late Nineteenth Century Waterfront (2015)
In the nineteenth century, Seattle enterprises depended on Native Americans for labor but settlers increasingly displaced Natives and tensions led to sometimes hostile conflict. In response, a Seattle ordinance was passed in 1865 which limited Native American encampments within the city limits. Located at the peripheral margin of the city, Ballast Island became a crucial layover for Native Americans and also represents an important, but infrequently discussed, element of the historical narrative...
‘On the Apparitions of Drowned Men’: Unnatural Death, Folklore, and Bioarchaeology at Haffjarðarey, Western Iceland. (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Burial, Space, and Memory of Unusual Death" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The church of Saint Nicholas at Haffjarðarey (1200 to 1563 CE) was active during two outbreaks of bubonic plague, religious transitions, and the establishment of the Icelandic fishing industry. Both the church and cemetery were suddenly closed and abandoned in 1563 after the supposed sudden deaths of the priest and parishioners after...
