This paper compares faunal assemblages from two 1740s cellars located in the heart of the home lot of Ferry Farm—the childhood home of George Washington. Excavation of these cellars yielded rich assemblages of faunal material containing a wide array of animals and offering detailed perspectives on diet. What makes these cellars of special interest though is that they came respectively from the homes of the free Washingtons and the enslaved Washingtons. This means that these two contemporary...

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Ohio-based Maritime Archaeological Survey Team (MAST) and the Pennsylvania Archaeology Shipwreck Survey Team (PASST) both rely heavily on amateur, volunteer archaeologists to record and disseminate information about Lake Erie shipwrecks. Both are steered by a single professional maritime archaeologist...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Strides Towards Standard Methodologies in Aeronautical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. "This is 5-T-7. 5-T-7 and 5-T-6 are landing at Jaluit. Are landing alongside one of the northwestern islands of Jaluit. That is all." That was the final message received aboard the Yorktown at 0811 from Lt. Harlan T. Johnson, ranking officer of two TBD-1 Devastators that were about to make water landings in a...

This is an abstract from the "Developing Standard Methods, Public Interpretation, and Management Strategies on Submerged Military Archaeology Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Deadman’s Island (8SR782) and Town Point Shipwrecks (8SR983) are unidentified wrecks that were archaeologically investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned wrecks from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763-1781). The wrecks were found...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Deadman’s Island (8SR782) and Town Point Shipwrecks (8SR983) are unidentified wrecks that were investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned wrecks from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763-1781). Archaeological assessment of these two sites clearly indicated ships from early to middle 18th century construction, with wood from both Old World and New...

Over the last twenty years, the Texas Department of Transportation has conducted extensive historical and archeological research uncovering forgotten aspects of the rich cultural heritage of African Americans in Texas. This discussion touches upon major transportation undertakings where African American history was discovered and documented. These include the Ruben Hancock Site, the Freedman’s Cemetery, and the Ransom and Sarah Williams Freedman’s Homestead.

The brig Somers gained fame in the United States as the setting of a notorious mutiny in 1842 that directly inspired the writing of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd.  The vessel was subsequently lost while on blockade duty off Veracruz during the war between the United States and Mexico in 1846.  Rediscovered in 1986, the wreck was an untouched archaeological resource.  It also served as the means for a pioneering international collaboration between the two former combatants in the management and...

The Delaware Department of Transportation is in the midst of its largest public works project in over 15 years. The U.S. Route 301 project will construct 17 miles of new highway across the central portion of Delaware. The archaeology program for Section 106 compliance for this project has utilized the talents of 10 cultural resource management firms (CRM). To date the CRM firms have identified 66 archaeological sites at the Phase I level, 27 at the Phase II level and 14 were found eligible for...

In 2013 WSA recovered a well preserved Gold Rush Era lighter from the original shore of Yerba Buena Cove. This boat, used to "lighten" the load of ships anchored off-shore, is providing new insight into the working craft of early maritime San Francisco. Found in strong association with the 19th-century ship breaking and salvage industry near the cove, the boat’s simple design and homely non-standard construction evoke images of the rugged Western frontier. Using in situ photographs and an...

This is an abstract from the "Defining and Measuring Diversity in Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Several papers in "Quantifying Diversity in Archaeology" identified space as a critical factor in structuring diversity and called for whole landscape, regional-scale analyses to improve archaeological approaches to diversity. The capabilities of today’s geospatial technologies were unimaginable at the time but now, the desire to analyze...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Innovative Approaches to Finding Agency in Objects" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When reading first-hand accounts of shipwrecks in the late Imperial Roman world, the authors describe the apparently common custom of tying their wealth around their necks as a vessel founders. Therefore, one might expect non-religious coin hoards to be a rare find on shipwrecks from this date. However, not only have coin...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plantation Archaeology as Slow Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the past three decades, archaeologists have engaged in a sustained research program to explore the history and archaeology of Poplar Forest plantation. This includes several long-term archaeological research projects which, over time, have provided new opportunities to partner with the local African American community. These...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Roads, Rivers, Rails and Trails (and more): The Archaeology of Linear Historic Properties" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Urban archaeology is challenging, especially when discontinuous projects, separated by both space and time, affect the same linear resource. Such is the case at Mission Santa Clara de Asís, which lies beneath Santa Clara University and numerous individually owned properties. For years,...

The rapid increase in the cultural and geospatial distance between the individuals who produce household goods and the individuals who consume them which has occurred over the last few hundred years requires historical archaeologists to develop typologies which acknowledge artifact qualities which are meaningful to consumers as well as producers. In a previous SHA presentation, the author hypothesized that artifact qualities which only meaningful to producers should respond differently to...

Archaeological excavations began during the summer of 2016 at Fort Germanna, an 18th century piedmont Virginia fort.  The fort was built in 1714 at the bequest of Governor Alexander Spotswood to expand the western frontier of Virginia.  Fort Germanna was only in existence for 4 years, from 1714-1718, and inhabited by German miners brought to Virginia by Spotswood to set up an iron mine.  While building the research agenda for this project we consider how a German ethnicity and identity could be...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In May 2023, Michigan State University (MSU) construction workers installing hammock poles hit what they believed was a foundation or rock. They immediately contacted MSU's Campus Archaeology Program (CAP), directed by Dr. Stacey Camp. Ben Akey, the Campus Archaeologist at the time, examined historic maps and aerials, which revealed that the first...
