In March of 1955, Dr. Frederick Johnson, Secretary of the Committee for the Recovery of Archaeological Remains, on behalf of the Committee, suggested that a symposium on salvage archaeology might be held during the Annual Meetings of the Society for American Archaeology in May. He asked Drs. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr. of the Smithsonian Institution and John M. Corbett of the National Park Service to formulate an agenda for such a symposium and make such arrangements as might be necessary with the...

Census of avocational and public collections for Folsom and Midland artifacts from Illinois and Wisconsin signals a substantial Folsom occupation in the Upper Midwest. Over 200 points and preforms demonstrate a southwest–northeast pattern of point manufacture, use, discard, and loss across much of Illinois and the southern third of Wisconsin. The distribution of these artifacts overlaps to a large extent; however, most Midland points occur in Wisconsin. This non-fluted weaponry is interpreted as...

System of Environmental Analysis (SEA), a portable environmental sensor for liquids which can track pH, ambient temperature, humidity, and which contains a peristaltic pump for sample collection, was developed for the Ship Biscuit & Salted Beef Research Project at Texas A&M University to record changes in chemical composition and other features of cask contents. A prototype of SEA was designed to record the data from the sensors and send the data via Bluetooth communication. Environmental sensor...

This study presents the results of an Air Combat Command (ACC) command-wide baseline assessment of Cold War historic resources. The goal of the study was to locate, evaluate, interpret, and prioritize ACC material culture at 27 bases within the continental United States and Panama (including Seymour Johnson AFB). The study was designed to evaluate real property, personal property, and records and documents sites that may be exceptionally significant due to their relationship to the Cold War,...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Enslavement" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This research incorporates overseers into the discussion of how constructed space and social relations informed and shaped one another on colonial and antebellum Virginia plantations. I examine how the organization, use, and meaning of spaces at multiple scales intersected with the historical constructions of race and class to identify meaningful...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Enslavement" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Before the invention and spread of the modern washing machine, the task of laundry was an arduous process that took days to complete and usually fell to the women of the household. However, despite the ubiquity of their task, enslaved washerwomen generally have been disregarded in the historical study of plantation labor. During the recent reanalysis of...

Two of the most influential institutions involved in making Historical Archaeology the discipline we enjoy today are The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (CWF) and The College of William and Mary (W&M). Although located in the same tiny town, until 1982 they might have existed on separate planets.  When Marley Brown became director of CWF’s archaeology program in 1982, he quickly formed a liaison with the College. By hiring students and recent alumni of the Anthropology Department’s new graduate...

The Storm Wreck, a Loyalist refugee vessel fleeing Charleston near the end of the American Revolution in 1782, was discovered by LAMP in 2009. Since 2010, a systematic excavation of the shipwreck has been ongoing, aiming at documenting, recovering, and conserving diagnostic artifacts to further understand this shipwreck and its role in Florida’s Loyalist influx, a time of civil conflict and rapidly increasing population. This paper will review artifacts from the shipwreck categorized as personal...

Chinese who worked on the transcontinental railroads often endured long hours of dangerous, backbreaking work. A typical work week lasted from Monday to Saturday, sunrise to sunset. Sundays were spent washing and mending clothes and participating in leisure activities. Railroad workers carried few belongings with them as they had to be able to quickly pack up camp and move to the next construction stop. This paper explores how Chinese railroad workers entertained themselves with few material...

Prehistoric occupations in rock shelter deposits are frequently of interest to archaeologists because of potentially good preservation of material culture and the possibility of multiple occupations in stratigraphic succession. Those sought-after phenomena are frequently occluded by subsequent accretional or intrusive historic occupations. This is particularly complicating when modern investigations are carried out in the context of poorly documented earlier archaeological excavations....

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Before, After, and In Between: Archaeological Approaches to Places (through/in) Time" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Large-scale archaeological excavations on the campus of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science from 2016-2017 revealed hundreds of cultural features, excavation of which shed light on the long span of historical occupation at Gloucester Point. In-depth analysis of the spatial, temporal,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the last thirty years, there has been much done to study the archaeological and nautical history of sixteenth-century shipwrecks in Pensacola Bay. However, this study will focus not on ship construction in the sixteenth-century,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mortuary Monuments and Archaeology: Current Research" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Cemeteries are important reservoirs of historic and cultural information, and the anthropological study of these spaces provide insights into their religious, symbolic, and cultural significance. Cemeteries also give insight into health, morbidity, and mortality in the past. This research examines two late-19th century...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Reinterpreting New England’s Past For the Future" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Kearsarge-Warren Avenue Cemetery and the St. Joseph’s Cemetery were nineteenth-century burial grounds located approximately one-third of a mile apart in the Roxbury section of Boston. Both were in use for several decades: Kearsarge-Warren Avenue from 1818 to 1883 as a Protestant parish and later a City-owned cemetery, and...

     Last summer the Sapelo Island Cultural Resource Survey (SICRS) investigated the north end of Sapelo Island for archaeological sites that are threatened by both nature and man.  This area was inhabited by native peoples from the Late Archaic Period (5000-3000 BP) up until the Spanish Mission Period. Later european settlement divided the island up into plantations and estates, two of which occupied the north end of the island until the Civil War. In the 1920’s Sapelo became a private retreat...
