This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the first half of the 18th century, Williamsburg resident John Custis, Governor’s councilmember and scientific gardener, filled 69 pages of a Commonplace Book with remedies for afflictions ranging from worms and epilepsy to “after pains in the childbed”. Were these receipts—more than 180 of them--- products of Custis’s personal experience and anxiety? A reflection of his...

This is an abstract from the "From Collaboration to Partnership in Pojoaque, New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The papers in this session illustrate the many benefits that follow from archaeologists and community members working together in partnership. In this paper, I explain why the concept of partnership better-captures the approach we are taking than the related concepts of indigenous and collaborative archaeology. I also describe...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A major challenge in using archaeological data at large, regional scales is that information is not digitally curated or synthesized beyond individual projects. A number of recent synthesis projects in the U.S. Southwest show the great potential of these data for addressing important social science questions such as: What promotes the success or failure of...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The archaeology of the Japanese Diaspora is an emerging field that focuses on the experiences and material culture of Nikkei (individuals with Japanese heritage) across the world. This paper adds to this growing literature by reporting on the results of fieldwork at the Japanese Camp at the Barneston Townsite (45KI1424). Investigated as part of the Issei at Barneston Project (IABP),...

Upon reaching the Oregon Cascades, most Oregon Trail pioneers either rafted their wagons down the Columbia River or traveled the Barlow Road overland around the south side of Mt. Hood to the Willamette Valley, both treacherous options. Following the discovery of gold in eastern Oregon, reliable overland travel became an increasing priority, and the state appropriated resources in 1872 to build a wagon road through the Columbia River Gorge. Treacherous slopes, steep grades, and construction of...

Presenting archaeological data to both public and academic audiences in the digital age presents problems and opportunities to make the results of excavation and survey more accessible. In some cases, one class of data is highlighted over another resulting in an unbalanced perspective. The ESRI Story map platform provides a template that can visually represent spatial information, and link this with photographs, artifact catalogs, and primary documents. What is more, Story Maps are set up to be...

This poster illustrates an enhanced comparative approach to understanding colonial projects by using the archaeological biography of Daniel Gookin Jr. (1612-1685), an important but relatively unknown figure involved in English plantation projects in Ireland, Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts.  The study of individual biography provides a framework from which to better situate archaeological sites of the seventeenth-century Chesapeake in the greater Atlantic world.  Through creating a broader...

This paper explores the relationship between Danish centrally administered healthcare policy and enslaved populations on the island of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands during the nineteenth century. During the period between 1803 and 1848, a series of plantation medical hospitals were constructed on the island in order to provide medical services to enslaved individuals in an effort to reduce mortality and morbidity rates. This paper will address the preliminary archaeological fieldwork stages of my...

Archaeology at a Danish colonial merchant's residence in Charlotte Amalie projects the complex yet distinct array of consumer goods available in a 19th century Danish Caribbean port town.  The walled compound housed a series of 19th and early 20th merchants/bankers and their household servants.  This study explores the intersection of micro and macro history as it assesses the material and documentary record of the site.  The house and its furnishings were selected for commemorative photo...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Military Sites Archaeology in the Caribbean: Studies of Colonialism, Globalization, and Multicultural Communities" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Although often left out of mainstream narratives of European expansion and empire, the Scandinavian nation of Denmark was an active agent of colonialism from the seventeenth to the twentieth century with possessions in the Caribbean, the African continent, and...

This paper examines the archaeological remains of the Dardenne Presbyterian Church in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri. Constructed in 1845, the Church served as a gathering ground for residents of the area for both religious and social purposes. During the course of the Civil War, the Church was encountered by Union soldiers who proceeded to burn it down in 1862. Today, the remains of the church can still be found. Through selective shovel testing and excavation, various building materials have been...

Despite decades of research at historic mines, archaeological forays in North America have seldom extended to investigate underground workplaces. The reasons are understandable: underground mines are hazardous environments, and it is also the case that fewer mines are accessible due to environmental remediation. The current underrepresentation of the underground, however, has limited disciplinary insights into the mining life. This paper draws from a set of pioneering studies that draw attention...

Dark Shadows of the Home-front During America’s World War II  Crystal City and Internment Carroll-Scogin-Brincefield MA  The textbooks and historical documentaries all discuss the shameful treatment of Japanese Americans being forced to relocation and internment camps during World War II, but selective amnesia concerning German and Italian Americans have left a void in the true history of internments in the United States. Texas had 21 POW camps and 3 Internment camps, that’s twice the amount of...

Materialities of gentility drew captured and enslaved Africans and African-Americans into the production of white male privilege one of its most iconic incubators, colonial Harvard College. During the long 18th century, the Cambridge, Massachusetts, institution was an intercultural, interracial, intergenerational space of becoming. Archaeological finds and documentary archives clarify how gentility was moralized in this religiously orthodox community, emerging as a tool of racialization and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For over a century, the proliferation of archaeological excavations in the United States has generated a large amount of archaeological data. Much of this data is published in archaeological reports that are housed in state-run archives. These archives offer a wealth of information for scholars who explore research questions that require multi-site...

The Elkins A & B site has produced some of the most interesting data seen along the U.S. Route 301 corridor.  The site represents two very different sites from two different periods in the 18th century.  Elkins B, the earlier of the two , was occupied from around 1720 to circa 1740 on property owned by John Greenwater Jr. This site had array of interesting items, such as a set of red-bodied earthenware vessels thought to have been manufactured in Philadelphia by the Hillegas brothers, numerous...
