This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community-Based Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the late 1800’s starting with Washington Matthew, The Navajo People, (Dine’) have been asked to share their traditional stories and life styles. Research was never collaborative and always reinterpreted by others to suit their world views. Archaeology, ethnography and medical research was at the mercy of the person collecting the data...
Long Walks and Longer Waits: Educational Injustice in Boston Schools (2018)
The Abiel Smith School, located on Boston’s historic Beacon Hill, was one of the oldest all-Black schools in the country and operated from 1834 to 1855. According to documentary evidence, the school was underfunded, mismanaged, and often at the center of debates about segregation. The Northeast Museum Services Center, in partnership with the Boston City Archaeology Program, is rehousing and researching the artifacts associated with the school that were excavated in the 1990s. The artifacts tell...
Longrow Laborer Houses at the Estate Lower Bethlehem Factory, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the late nineteenth century as global competition increased the Caribbean sugar industry consolidated into a small number of central factories and rum distilleries. The industrial capacity of some plantations was upgraded with the introduction of steam-powered mills, whereas other elements of infrastructure like fields and laborer housing continued to be used. Thus masonry...

A Look at the Everyday: Early Estate Life at Glen Eyrie (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Glen Eyrie Middens: Recent Research into the Lives of General William Jackson and Mary Lincoln “Queen” Palmer and their Estate in Western Colorado Springs, Colorado." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Artifacts recovered during excavations at site 5EP7334 date between the 1880s and the early 1900s, which coincides with the earliest occupation of the Glen Eyrie Estate by the Palmer family and estate staff....
A Look At Violence In A Western Mining District (2016)
Mining districts are inherently violent places. Deaths, accidents, and injuries are topics that appear liberally in historic literature; period newspapers almost gleefully reported on deaths caused by accidents and foul play. Suicide, however, was a form of death often accompanied by stigma, and frequently reported with overtones of pity. Rarely does violence manifest itself in the archaeological record. This paper discusses the unexpected discovery of a Depression-era suicide in a central...

Looking at Ethnic and Ecological Issues in the Analysis of Seminole War Battlefields in Florida (2016)
Gulf Archaeology Research Institute, a nonprofit scientific research organization, has a 20-year history of integrating biological and physical sciences to better understand and protect Florida’s vanishing natural and cultural resources. Population growth, development, and natural threats from sea level rise to climate change are all rapidly diminishing our cultural resources. Necessity has required innovative approaches to understand and protect historic landscapes. Partnering with the Seminole...
Looking at Fort George, Scotland, Though Metal Artifacts (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Military Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Built outside of Inverness, Scotland, Fort George’s construction was started shortly after the end of the last Jacobite Rebellion in 1746. The massive show of force has never been engaged in any combat but has served as a barracks and training site for the British Army since it’s completion in 1769. This paper looks at the construction and use of Fort George though an...
Looking Beyond the Colonial/Indigenous Foods Dichotomy: Recent Insights into Identity Formation via Communal Foodways from Mission Santa Clara de Asís. (2016)
The Spanish Colonial mission complexes (churches, quadrangles, and outlying buildings and structures) brought about new order on native landscapes with the introduction of European urban planning. As a result, many researchers maintain that Old World plants and animals rapidly supplanted and displaced many types of native species, and they often define "wild" foods as supplemental to agricultural foods. Additionally, many scholars continue to support the notion that agriculture is an active...
Looking Beyond the Mission: Investigating the Nineteenth Century Occupations at the San Luis De Talimali Mission Site (8LE4) (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. I looked to synthesize, and expand on, past historical and archaeological research pertaining to the nineteenth century at the San Luis site in Tallahassee, Florida. My intention was to further investigate the different ownerships of San Luis during this century. A further goal was to highlight the need to better understand the enslaved experience at San Luis during the ten year...
Looking Beyond the Public Walkways: Introduction of Old and New Data to Expand and Enhance Interpretations of Brunswick Town and Fort Anderson (2016)
Excavations at colonial Brunswick and Civil War era Fort Anderson by Stanley South in the 1950s and 1960s were designed to make their shared footprint into a public historic park. Historical data and the artifacts uncovered through his excavations formed the initial interpretations. While this data was documented in field reports and select other venues, such as CHSA presentations in the 1960s and Method and Theory (1977), the publication of Archaeology at Colonial Brunswick (2010) largely...

Looking Closer at Those Dots on the Map: Documenting Mound Sites at St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (2018)
Over the last four years, the Midwest Archeological Center has been conducting a project designed to gather information on mound and earthwork preservation across the Midwest Region of the National Park Service. St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, is one of several parks included in the study. The St. Croix and Namekagon river valleys are home to mounds and earthworks of a variety of shapes and sizes. Some have been dated to the Late Woodland period...

Looking for Data in All the Right Places: Recreating the Enslaved Community at Mount Vernon (2016)
At his death in 1799, George Washington recorded 318 enslaved people at Mount Vernon. This number does not reflect the numbers of individuals who worked the property during the entire tenure of the Washington family from 1735 – 1858, and it does not begin to address individuals enslaved on the numerous properties owned by Washington or the vast acreage he administered on behalf of the Custis family. To better understand the lives of all those enslaved individuals, Mount Vernon’s digital...
Looking for Evidence of Corn Processing (Nixtamalization) at Angel Mounds (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Advancing the Archaeology of Indigenous Agriculture in North America" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mississippian peoples (circa eleventh–fourteenth centuries CE) in the midwestern and southeastern United States have long been proven to be and defined by their maize agricultural practices. Due to the nutritional deficiencies of subsisting solely on maize as a crop when unprocessed, researchers have linked all maize...

Looking for the La Bahia at Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site in Anderson, Grimes County, Texas (2018)
The La Bahia was believed to have passed in front of the Inn. Investigations never located the illusive trace. Plans to expand the parking lot created an opportunity to look on the northeast side; the backdoor to the Inn and dining room. Background research revealed that the Fanthorp’s residence was at the front of the Inn. If travelers departed the stagecoach at the front door they would have traipsed through the Fanthorps living space to get to the dining area. While many guests stayed at the...
