Gobernador Polychrome as a Material Expression of Survivance (2018)
The production of Gobernador Polychrome Pottery by the Navajo people, is entangled in many social and material negotiations of survivance. Its production in the Dinetah Region of New Mexico, during the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth century place it in a time of Native resistance to Spanish colonization in Northern New Mexico. This resistance, in the form of a pan-Indian uprising, the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, sets the stage in which the production of Gobernador Polychrome emerged and...
Going Ballistic: A Firearms Analysis of Florida’s Natural Bridge (2018)

Going Green: Using Environmental Protections to Safeguard the Underwater Cultural Heritage (2013)
The Caribbean Sea is host to a significant number of colonial-era wrecks and has historically been a prime hunting spot for commercial salvors. Frequently, salvage of this underwater cultural heritage (UCH) occurred with the blessing of the governing authority or was implicitly endorsed by the courts determining proprietary rights. Many wrecks are located in ecologically-sensitive areas, however, or serve as substrate for the growth of new underwater habitat. As such, the wreck sites may...

This presentation will review a variety of...
Going paperless in Calabria: an open-source digital data collection workflow. (2018)
In this paper I discuss the construction and deployment of a paperless data collection workflow that focuses on the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) tools, such as GeoODK, Qfield, OpenDroneMap, QGIS, and GRASS, and "off-the-shelf" technology such as mobile tablet computers, Bluetooth GPS, and compact unmanned aerial vehicles. A focus on FOSS tools ensures availability to all, encourages reproducibility and open scientific methods, and fosters wide compatibility in data collection...
Going Paperless: The Digital Age of Archaeology (2018)
Technology has played a large role in shaping how archaeology was conducted, especially towards the end of the 20th century. From telescopic transits to total stations, from map and compass to hand held GPS devices, and from film cameras to digital cameras are just a few example of how technology shaped archaeology. In the last decade or less a rapid change is occurring with technology and equipment becoming cheaper and more suffocated: smart phones and tablets replacing paper and brick GPS...

Following the...
Going to the Dogs: Forensic Canine Surveys at Mission San Antonio de Padua, California (2015)
Two surveys by the Institute of Canine Forensics were conducted at Mission San Antonio de Padua (1771-1834) in 2013. The first was a traditional field survey around the outside of the mission cemetery and in other areas known to contain more recent human burials. The second was a survey of the archaeological collections of the archaeological field school (1776-2004), in a completely new application of this method. Dogs specially trained and certified in historic human remains detection...

Good Digital Curation: Sharing and Preserving Archaeological Data as Part of Your Regular Workflow (2016)
Archaeology is awash in digital data collected as part of surveys, excavations, laboratory analyses, and comparative studies. Sophisticated statistical analyses, spatial studies, contextual comparisons, a variety of scanning technologies, and other contemporary methods and techniques both use and generate complex and detailed digital archaeological data. Digital data are easier to duplicate, reanalyze, share, and preserve if they are curated properly. However, digital data curation differs in...
The Goodwin Sands: Patterns of Burial and Updating the Wreck Record (2017)
A study has been undertaken combining time lapse, high quality, bathymetric data and known wreck databases over the area known as the Goodwin Sands, a large sandbank in the English Channel. The Goodwins have a long history of shipwrecks primarily due to proximity to major shipping routes, and the extant archaeological record identifies wrecks from the 18th through the 20th Century. The recent availability of swath bathymetry acquired by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency as part of their Civil...

Government Maritime Managers Forum XXVI: "The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea" (2018)
While this quote from Ovid is often found at the beginning of shipwreck stories, it is applicable the present political situation facing the protection of heritage. Government managers of submerged cultural resources find themselves between storm and calm on a nearly daily basis. We must balance a diverse set of problems, competing interests, and difficult decisions in response to an ever-increasing need to recognize and accommodate a wide range of appropriate uses. Managers use a variety of...
Governmental Opportunities for Preserving Heritage Resources (2018)
Engaging local governments on preservation issues is challenging for a number of reasons. Perhaps the subject does not interest them, they see heritage as in the way, or they simply have other concerns. To top this off, we can spend a year developing relationships, only to have someone replace them the next election. The Governmental Opportunities for Preserving Heritage Resources (GOPHR) is a new program by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) attempting to address this issue. GOPHR is...
Grabbing the Brass Ring: Assessing the Evidence of the Lost Colony (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Contact and Colonialism" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Lost Colony of Roanoake disappeared over 400 years ago and clues to its fate have remained sparse and open to debate. The discovery of a "gold" signet ring at an archaeological site on North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 1998 appeared to finally provide some tangible evidence for the location of at least some of the colonists. Twenty years...
