A Hundred Bottles of Beer in the Ground: Excavating Detroit’s Historic Local Beer Industry from Artifacts of Working-Class Households in Roosevelt Park, Corktown Neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan. (2018)
During Detroit, Michigan’s "Golden Age" of beer production (1840-1880s) many immigrants brought beer-making skills and started brewery businesses. Many breweries were located downtown and their increasing popularity saturated local beer-production. Since 2011 Wayne State University has been excavating residential lots at Michigan Central Station in the Corktown neighborhood, recovering over 10,000 artifacts. Corktown was comprised of Irish and German immigrants, first generation Michiganders,...
The Hunley Revealed: 3D Documentation, Deconcretion, and Recent Developments in the Investigation of the H.L. Hunley Submarine. (2016)
Beginning in 2014, the conservation staff at Clemson University’s Warren Lasch Conservation Center (WLCC) in Charleston, South Carolina have been removing the marine concretion from the hull of the American Civil War submarine H. L. Hunley. In parallel with this, the archaeological team has been documenting the condition of the hull, as well as the concretion layers and hull features revealed by the deconcretion process. This documentation has involved photography, direct measurements, and 3D...
The Hunt for the Forts of New Sweden (2013)
The remains of Fort Elfsborg may be in a modern marshland, and the remains of Fort Christina may lie underneath 150 years worth of heavy industrial occupation. While the lore of these centers of New Sweden are currnetly alive in the people of the Delaware Valley, no remains have yet been found. This paper is an update in the ongoing search for both structures, and the special challenges the severla teams have encountered.
A Hunt with Aunt Jemima (2009)
J. Whittaker: Killed deer with brown glass point, cane arrow, self bow, 8 yards. Entry between ribs, split rib on other side but no exit.
Hunter-Gatherer Fission-Fusion in Ethnographic and Archaeological Records: From the Mbuti to Paleoindians (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Ephemeral Aggregated Settlements: Fluidity, Failure or Resilience?" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology views hunter-gatherers as nature’s children or launching pads to complex society. Ethnographic hunter-gatherers exhibit fission-fusion cycles that we explain variously, including modular organization of group sizes (e.g., "scalar-stress"). However well models explain ethnographic pattern, archaeological tests...
The Hunting and Foraging Strategies of an Enslaved Population at the Belvoir Plantation (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology and Analysis of the Belvoir Quarter" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Historic literature frequently alludes to plantation owners being unable to or unwilling to adequately feed their slaves. It was therefore not uncommon for slaves to supplement their diet with wild game. There has been little said of how this was done. Specifically how were the work intensive tasks of hunting and foraging...

Hurricane Harvey: One Story of the Houston Historical Archeology Network Perservering (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Current Research and On Going Projects at the J Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Laboratory" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey struck the Texas Coast, causing at least 70 deaths and tens of billions of dollars in damages. Already connected through a partnership of documenting and conserving Civil War artifacts recovered from Buffalo Bayou in the 1960s, the Heritage Society at Sam...
Hurricane Impact Modeling for Shipwreck Site Formation in the North Florida Keys and its Application to Resource Management (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Recent Development of Maritime and Historical Archaeology Programs in South Florida" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since the 1970s, Florida has been affected by 162 Atlantic tropical and subtropical cyclones; ten of which were major hurricanes that reached Category 3 status or higher on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale. In the last three decades, the South Florida region has had a direct hit from two...
Hurricane Sandy and the New Jersey Waterway Debris Removal Project: Archaeological Methodology During Sediment and Debris Removal Operations. (2015)
Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey, 29-31 October, 2012. The New Jersey Waterway Debris Removal Project was a collaborative effort to remove storm debris and accumulated sediment following the storm. This paper will address archaeological methodology and Section 106 compliance conducted by Dewberry during the NJ DEP Waterway Debris Removal Project as well as unexpected discoveries encountered during operations.
Hybrid Objects, Mixed Assemblages, and the Centrality of Context: Colonoware and Creolization in Early New Orleans (2017)
Following the discovery of unusual handmade chamber pots at Colonial Williamsburg last century, archaeologists began to identify colonoware in contexts throughout North America, the Caribbean, and beyond. Traditionally defined as the product of two or more disparate cultures, colonoware remains the most thoroughly studied category of "hybrid" objects in archaeology today. However, scholars now agree that a myopic emphasis on production –or, more accurately, on the racial identities of producers–...
Hybridity and Community Formation in the Middle Savannah River Valley (2013)
Between A.D. 1670 and 1740, traders, settlers, and displaced Native American peoples migrated to the Savannah River in hopes of establishing trade and diplomatic relations with the colony of Carolina. Savannah Town, located near the Fall Line in the middle part of the drainage, consisted of approximately nine scattered villages inhabited at various times by groups of Savannah or Shawnee, Apalachee, Yuchi, and later Chickasaw Native Americans. Furthermore, Savannah town formed an important...
Hybridized Ceramic Practice and Creolized Communities: the Apalachee After the Missions (2018)
After the violent collapse of Spain’s La Florida mission system in 1704, the Apalachee nation was disrupted by a diaspora that spread people across the Southeast, eventually to settle in small communities among other splintered nations. Navigating a complex cultural borderland created by constant Native American migrations and European power struggles, the displaced Apalachee experienced rapid culture change in the 18th century. Making use of ceramic data from four archaeological sites related...
Hygiene, Masculinity, and Imprisonment: The Archaeology of Japanese Internees at Idaho's Kooskia Internment Camp (2015)
Historical archaeology provides many insights about unexpected aspects of daily life. One example is the hygiene and beauty practices of the men at World War II Kooskia Internment camp located near Kooskia, Idaho. Excavations in 2010 and 2013 resulted in the recovery of a variety of objects documenting men’s grooming in the camp, including items such as cold cream jars, a cologne bottle, and shampoo bottles. This work explores how these everyday objects provide new insight into the hygiene...
I Can Handle It (2015)
Lard buckets are a ubiquitous artifact on 20th century sites in the west. However they generally provide little information to help date a site. The author has observed certain differences in the construction of lard buckets. Specifically the method by which the bale handle is attached to the body of the can by the addition of a bale ear on or near the upper edge of the body of the can. Field observations at datable sites noted what appeared to be an evolution in the way the bale ear is...
"I Could Feel Your Heart": The Transformative and Collaborative Power of Heartfelt Thinking in Archaeology (2017)
As anthropologists we know that the heart is considered a source of strength in many cultures. Yet in Western society and the culture of science, an epistemology of the heart or heartfelt thinking is generally feminized and as a consequence, devalued. Guided by Feminist and Indigenous theory, I have established an archaeological practice that foregrounds heartfelt thinking as part of community-based heritage work. Importantly, I strive to train the next generation of archaeology...
"I Don't Know Where I'm a-Gonna Go When the Volcano Blow": Resettlement, Diaspora, and the Landscapes of Montserrat’s Volcanic Exclusion Zone (2018)
On July 18th, 1995, after centuries of relative quiet, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano suddenly and violently sprang to life. The months that followed saw a series of evacuations of the southern portions of the island due to the volcanic threat, rendering this landscape—including the capital town of Plymouth—an abandoned 'Exclusion Zone'. By 2000, the majority of the island's population had left more or less permanently, many for the United Kingdom. Those who stayed faced the challenge of...
"I Feel Like Taking Their Heads Off": Children in Fort Boise (2018)
The archaeology of children has been an increasingly visible part of historical scholarship in recent years. However, there are places where they are still not visible. Work by the University of Idaho on the former grounds of Fort Boise (in Boise, ID) has provided an opportunity to explore the archaeology of children in a most unexpected place - a military fort. Excavations in multiple contexts on the former grounds of the fort have resulted in the recovery of many children's items dating from...
I Forge On: Walkability and Experiencing Early 20th Century Urban Life Through Spokane's Expert Smithy (2018)
In 2016, archaeologists with Fort Walla Walla Museum and the Spokane Tribe of Indians identified an intact spoil pile related to a ca.1890s-1907 blacksmith shop; operated by one of Spokane's pioneer smithys. During archival research it was found that this blacksmith, German immigrant Perter Sondgerath, rarely lived at his shop but rather in some of Spokane's most popular and pricey hotels thereby offiering a glimpse of early 20th century life in Urban Spokane. In this poster we follow the places...

"I Likewise Give To Indiana & Elizabeth The Following Slaves...": The Founding of Sweet Briar College and its Racially Charged History (2016)
In 1858, a transplanted Vermonter, Elijah Fletcher, died in Amherst, Virginia, leaving his antebellum plantation and over 140 enslaved individuals to three of his children. His oldest daughter, Indiana Fletcher Williams, combined this inheritance with some of her own wealth and founded Sweet Briar College in 1900 through a directive in her will. In 2001, I began researching the descendants of the enslaved community, studying an on-campus slave cemetery, and designing brochures and exhibits to...
