From 2014–2020, University of Texas at San Antonio field school...
Living on the Spine of the World: Placemaking at Early Community Centers, Rincon, UT (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In southeast Utah, two of the most dominant geographical features, Comb Ridge and the San Juan River, converge in dramatic fashion. Several large villages at the intersection of these features represent central places for wider communities from 500 BCE through at least 900 CE. While the three largest sites represent different time periods, each maintained...
Living Tactically: Postmortem Agency and Individual Identity in Institutional Burials (2017)
Structure and institutional durability often play a role in the manifestation of identity by shaping the avenues available to human actors and by creating the landscape in which these actions are carried out. However, through durable institutions move volatile agents who have the ability to act tactically within often immobile institutional environments. These constraints and freedoms of individuals within institutional settings often culminate in the representation of an individual in death,...
Living the Not So Sweet Life: Archaeological Investigations in the Chatsworth Plantation Quarters (2015)
Southern Louisiana was home to one of the largest cash crops cultivated during antebellum times. Sugarcane was grown in a relatively small area in South Louisiana, but had far reaching impacgts at both the local and regional level. This poster will discuss the archaeology taking place at the Chatsworth Plantation site. I will also examine the spatial layout of Chatsworth, a sugar producing plantation, and discuss possible reasons for the use of the particular layout. In addition, I will...

Living Under Threat: A Transnational Look at Safety, Security, and Cultural Memory in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology (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. It is a well-established fact that Chinese immigrants to the United States faced chronic structural violence and institutional discrimination on the local, regional, and national level. However, it is unclear the degree to which acute or interpersonal violence was experienced in everyday life by early...
The Living Village: Time Slices and Residential Shifts, 1800-1960, Inishark, Ireland (2013)
The cultural geography and development of Irish coastal villages before, during and after the famine remains largely unexplored. The evacuation of Inishark in 1960, and the absence of later building and development, provides a unique opportunity to understand the how village organization changed from 1800-1960. Drawing upon historical maps of Inishark from 1816, 1838, 1849, 1898, LiDAR of the village, and archaeological field research, in this presentation we explore the interweaving of human...
Living Waters, Living History: Investigating a 20th Century Mikveh at Puddle Dock (2015)
Over the summer of 2014, Strawbery Banke Museum archaeologists and students excavated at a house site, which oral history suggested was the location of an early 20th century mikveh (Jewish ritual bath). Research found that the house was once owned by the Portsmouth, NH Hebrew Ladies’ Society, who later sold the house to Temple Israel, just a few blocks away. By 1935, the mikveh was no longer in use. This presentation explores the history of Portsmouth’s Jewish immigrant community, who...

Local Legacy, Local Legend: John White, Youngstown State University, and Fifty Years of Public Archaeology (2018)
Dr. John White served as a member of the faculty at Youngstown State University from 1971 to 2005. Part of his legacy is nearly four decades of local, regional, and public archaeology. He shared his passion for the discipline with thousands of students and engaged hundreds of students and volunteers in fieldwork, both regionally and internationally. Upon John’s retirement in 2005 I was hired to take his position. In this paper, I summarize my own work and collaborations with colleagues as we...
Local Tradition or Response to Hard Times? 20th-Century Urban Foodways in Toledo, Ohio (2018)
From summer 2014 through spring 2015, The Mannik & Smith Group conducted Phase I and Phase III investigations of two partial city blocks in the Uptown neighborhood of Toledo, Ohio. The Phase I survey identified a total of 29 features, including building foundations and utility features associated with domestic occupations, commercial enterprises, and a hospital and representing deposits from the 1860s through the 1950s. Phase III data recovery excavations focused on 12 of these features, dating...
Local ‘Patterns’, Global Currents – The Changing Face of Pilgrimage Traditions in Rural Western Ireland, c. 1800-Present (2018)
Common in the post-medieval period, annual ‘patterns’ or feast day celebrations of local patron saints remains an ongoing tradition in parts of rural Ireland. At times suppressed by the Catholic Church, pattern day activities typically involve visiting sacred monuments (e.g. wells, stones, trees, and medieval monastic ruins) to carry out a series of devotional practices. Such traditions represent the intersection of medieval heritage with both specific local conditions and broader historical...
The Localization of Taphonomy: The Impacts of Physical Environments and the Memorialization Practices of Local Populations on Combat Loss Archaeological Sites (2017)
The taphonomic processes that affect archaeological remains in a given location are some of the most significant factors to be taken into consideration when assessing the type and amount of information potentially recoverable from an archaeological site. These processes vary widely based upon geographic region. Human agency as a taphonomic process has similar geographically and culturally-based variability. Through remembrance, memorialization, and commemoration, or lack thereof, to include...
Localized Adaptations in Cloth Production at Bulow Plantation, Florida (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Initial excavations at Bulow Plantation in Northeast Florida suggested that the destruction of the site by Seminole forces in 1836 had obscured much of the detail of enslaved life there. However, excavations at a second cabin suggest that a much deeper story can be told about the lives of enslaved peoples at Bulow Plantation in the early 19th century than...
Locating Wisconsin's Past Indigenous Agricultural Landscapes Using Historical Aerial Photography (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Finding Fields: Locating and Interpreting Ancient Agricultural Landscapes" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Wisconsin has the largest number of recorded precolumbian and early historic Indigenous ridged and hilled garden beds in the American Midwest, with over 450 known examples. But, twentieth-century land-use practices have destroyed or obscured more than 90% of these sites. Leveraging a comprehensive database of...

Issues involved in this complex topic include trade agreements and cost...
Locking Through: Sailing Canallers and the Evolution of Maritime Industrial Landscapes in the Great Lakes (2018)
The mid to late nineteenth century emergence of purpose-built sailing vessels to ply the Welland Canal was a relatively simple solution to meet the diverse demands of bulk cargo transportation in the Great Lakes. As such, ‘sailing canallers’ were an important economic link between the eastern and western United States, connecting economic and industrial landscapes of the Midwest with eastern markets, and fueling the expansion of major Great Lakes industrial centers. With few drawn plans, and no...
Logan City, Nevada: Excavation of an 1860s Mining Camp (2016)
In July 2015, ASM Affiliates Inc. (ASM) conducted an excavation of an 1860s mining camp at Logan City, Lincoln County, Nevada. In 1864, Mormons, miners, and the military had moved into, what is now, Southeastern Nevada, in a quest for land, water, and silver. Native Americans resisted these efforts and briefly expelled miners from Logan City; however, the miners returned and established a substantial camp surrounding Logan Spring. During an extensive survey in 2013 and 2014, ASM archaeologists...
