In the three-plus years of its existence, the Battle of the Atlantic Research and Expedition Group has been engaged in a mutually-beneficial partnership with NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary. The Group, which is a part of the Institute of Maritime History, a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit corporation, is made up nearly exclusively of avocational archaeologists and historians all of whom are sport, or recreational, scuba divers. Yet since its founding in late 2012, it has conducted or...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Over four weeks in the early summer of 2023, a community-based archaeological project was conducted to re-record Whan·hang·kya·nu Pueblo in fulfillment of a Masters project in Public Archaeology at the University of New Mexico. Whan·hang·kya·nu Pueblo is a prehistoric site located in the Jemez District of Santa Fe National Forest and has been continuously...
Community Archaeology Starting Young: Local High School Engagement in Tucson, Arizona (2018)
The past few years archaeology has seen an increase in community-based approaches. These approaches are important when addressing issues of who archaeology knowledge, interpretation, and sites belong to. Archaeological interpretations historically come from those in roles of academic authority, but we increasingly see acknowledgement of collaboration and contribution from community members not in those roles. A rise in diversity of cultural and heritage backgrounds among archaeologists is a...
Community Archaeology, Essentializing Identity, and Racializing the Past (2018)
As anthropologically guided archaeologists, we like to think we are beyond searching for romanticized images of "Natives," "Africans," or any essentialized "other," but despite our best efforts, we still fall victim to its simplicity. Collaborating with descendent communities broadens our perspective, but their perceptions of the past and their ancestors can further complicate the dilemma. This paper explores two mixed-heritage communities in Setauket and Amityville, both on Long Island, New...
The Community at the Crossroads: Insights into Connectivity from the Tijeras Pueblo Fauna (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, and Public Education at Tijeras Pueblo, New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Tijeras Pueblo lies at a crossroads. It sits at the junction of two canyons, one north-south and one east-west, and occupies a boundary between two distinct culture areas—the Pueblos to the west and the Plains to the east. This position on the landscape may have created both challenges and opportunities...
Community Caretaking, Collective Parenting, and Othermothering: Diasporic Family Building in the Western American Military (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Seeing Migrant and Diaspora Communities Archaeologically: Beyond the Cultural Fixity/Fluidity Binary" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Using materials and archives associated with Black US Army laundresses stationed at Fort Davis, Texas, in the 1860s–1890s, this paper will investigate how the practice of parenting intersected with a broader focus on public caretaking in the African American community. Adoption, communal...
Community Collaboration is Commemoration at the Arboretum Chinese Labor Quarters (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Models of community archaeology generally use collaboration as a foundation for a future commemoration. In practice, the process of collaboration is itself an act of commemoration. The Arboretum Chinese Labor Quarters, on Stanford University’s campus, is a site where Chinese employees lived as they...
Community Displacement and the Creation of a 'City Beautiful' at Roosevelt Park, Detroit (2016)
Michigan Central Station and Roosevelt Park were constructed between 1908 and 1918 as part of Detroit’s City Beautiful Movement. The construction process was a place-making effort designed to implant order on the urban landscape that involved the displacement of a community who represented everything that city planners sought to erase from Detroit’s city center: overcrowding, poverty, immigrants, and transient populations. Current historical archaeological research reveals how the existing...
Community Formation, Consumption, and Gender at Camp Nelson’s ‘Home for Colored Refugees’ (2013)
Following the tragic expulsion of four hundred African-American women and children from Camp Nelson, KY in November 1864, of which 102 died, these refugees were allowed to return and the ‘Home for Colored Refugees’ was constructed. This expulsion also led to the emancipation of these refugees by the Congressional Act of March 3, 1865. By the summer of 1865 this ‘Home’ housed over 3000 former slaves who lived in a variety of housing, including duplex cottages, tents, dormitories, and home-made...
Community Identity in the Jornada: Untangling Patterns of Aggregation and Abandonment at Cottonwood Spring Pueblo (LA 175), an El Paso Phase Village (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Recent Research at Jornada Mogollon Sites in South-Central New Mexico" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ongoing excavations at Cottonwood Spring Pueblo (LA 175) suggest population aggregation within the El Paso Phase (A.D. 1300-1450) Jornada Cultural Region may have consisted of distinct self-identified groups integrated into one multi-ethnic community. Comparing the excavations at Area A, a large plaza orientated...
Community Involvement in the Management of Submerged Cultural Resources on Lake Champlain (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Shipwrecks and the Public: Getting People Engaged with their Maritime History" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the summer of 2018 the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM) began an initiative to involve the local avocational dive community in the management of the cultural resources of Lake Champlain. Through the support of a National Maritime Heritage Grant, LCMM archaeologists began the process of training...
Community Matters: Enhancing Student Learning Opportunities through the Development of Community Partnerships (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Community Matters: Enhancing Student Learning Opportunities through the Development of Community Partnerships" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Undergraduate archaeology students traditionally have few opportunities to gain meaningful archaeological field and/or research experience while pursuing academic goals such as degrees or certificates. This lack of opportunity can negatively impact students’ success in the next...
Community Networks at the Stanford Arboretum Chinese Workers’ Quarters (2016)
The historical response and endurance of Chinese diaspora communities in California, living with legally reified racism, is a critical component of understanding the economic and social impacts of immigration restriction. Between 1876 and 1925, the Chinese employees at the Stanford Stock Farm and Stanford University impacted the development of agriculture and infrastructure through their labor and entrepreneurship as farm workers, in construction, as gardeners, and as domestic workers. Over that...
The Community of Chase Home: Institutional and Material Components of Children’s Lived Spaces in Victorian Portsmouth (2016)
The Chase Home for Children opened in 1883, housed in an immigrant-rich neighborhood of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Home accepted children, "without distinction of race, creed, or color*" who needed temporary or long-term care and housing. Chase Home was guided by tenants of the Progressive Era and supported solely by the local community, at a time before state welfare was available. In contrast to single religious denomination orphanages typical in Victorian America, or strict reformatory...

Community Structure in Times of Stress and Change: Communal Dining in the Northern Southwest (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The study of community connections becomes ever more important as our current society faces challenges brought on by advancements in technology, unprecedented health crises, and a changing global climate. By studying community events in the past, we can begin to examine the impact of community structure during times of stress and change. This paper presents...
Community-Based Archaeology in the Bahamas: Linking Landscape and Memory (2018)
In 1871, the last owner of the Millars Plantation Estate on Eleuthera, Bahamas left a portion of the former plantation acreage to the descendants of her former slaves and servants. In the intervening 175 years since emancipation in the Bahamas and the 125 years since the property transferred to "generation land", south Eleuthera has experienced a series of economic transformations and demographic transitions. Despite these changes, the Millars descendant community maintains their connection to...
Community-Based Explorations of "Schooling" at the Grand Ronde Reservation (2018)
In 1856, members of twenty-seven Bands and Tribes were removed to what today is known as the Grand Ronde Reservation in northwestern Oregon. Like other Indigenous adolescents, children at Grand Ronde were sent to schools driven by assimilationist policies as part of a broader project of Euro-American colonialism. However, unlike many others, they attended school on the reservation, closer to their homes. From the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century, five different schools are...
Como la paja del páramo: Everyday Traditions on the Hacienda Guachalá, Ecuador (2016)
The post-independence period (post-1830) of Ecuador and Latin America presented profound socio-political transformations, catalyzing intense debate over the meaning of citizenship and equality for marginalized indigenous populations. Many of these changes manifested on agricultural estates known as haciendas, which often became spaces of direct political actions such as uprisings led by female indigenous activists Dolores Cacuango and Tránsito Amanguaña in the Cayambe area of Ecuador. These...
The Company’s Feast: Commensality And Managerial Capitalism (2016)
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many mining companies in the American West provided their employees with housing and boarding arrangements, even recreational green spaces and company-sponsored festivities on holidays. Daily meals offered by some mining companies were a part of larger managerial capitalist policies common during this period. These meals placed the necessity of eating under a company roof and at a company table with foods purchased with company funds. The town...
Comparative Analysis And Chemical Characterization Of Iron And Steel Blades And Tools From Trents Cave and Enslaved Laborer Contexts At Trents Plantation, Barbados (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Trents Cave, Barbados is a site hidden between the previous enslaved laborer settlement (1650-1838) and the planter’s compound (1627-present) at Trents Plantation. Containing caches of various metal artifacts, Trents Cave is believed to be a site of special purpose, where selection and use of ferrous materials was conducted by people of African descent as a form of ritual and...
A Comparative Analysis of a Potential Tavern Site in Jackson, North Carolina (2015)
Residents of Jackson, North Carolina in Northampton County have found what they believe to be an 18th century tavern site. The area was inhabited by the Tuscarora until the Tuscarora War ended in 1715, after which European settlers began to move into the region. The residents of Jackson believe this to be a tavern owned by Jeptha Atherton. This research assesses this claim by comparing those artifacts to the artifacts at two other contemporary taverns: Dudley’s Tavern in Halifax, North Carolina...
