This is an abstract from the "Case Studies from SHA’s Heritage at Risk Committee" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Natural and anthropogenic climate changes, specifically from sea-level rise, are drastically reshaping coastal waterways and shorelines. Few regional predictive models capture hyper-local changes. In response, this research project combined geospatial information captured with an unmanned areial system (AUS) with georeferenced maps...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Hard Science on Hard Steel: Scientific Studies of the USS Arizona" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Corrosion rates for the USS Arizona, based on seventy-eight years of exposure in Pearl Harbor, are used by the National Park Service to assess the current and future state of this ship. To support ongoing efforts to improve corrosion models, short-term mass loss studies have been undertaken by cadets at the...

This is an abstract from the "Developing Standard Methods, Public Interpretation, and Management Strategies on Submerged Military Archaeology Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 2017 discovery of USS Indianapolis, one of the Navy’s most storied ships and sought-after wrecksites, propelled the vessel back into the public eye and highlighted a string of deep-water WWII shipwreck investigations. After the media hype subsided, the Naval...

The seven Amana villages of east-central Iowa were founded in the mid 19th century by German pietists seeking a removed location in which to practice their unique form of communal Christianity. In 1932 the community voted to separate the governing body of the church from the political and economic facets of community life for the first time, this event is remembered today as the "Great Change." In summer of 2012 a group of outhouses were excavated at the Amanas as part of a project to look at...

Off the coast of North Carolina’s Outer Banks are the remains of ships spanning hundreds of years of history, architecture, technology, industry, and maritime culture.  Potentially more than 2,000 ships have been lost in "The Graveyard of the Atlantic" due to a combination of natural and human factors.  These shipwrecks are tangible artifacts to the past and constitute important archaeological resources.  They also serve as dramatic links to North Carolina’s historic maritime heritage, helping...

Landscapes of tribal reservations vary across the regions of the United States, yet change to these landscapes remains a constant. On the constrained reservations of the east any change to the landscape can be of great significance.  The Qualla Boundary in western North Carolina is one such reservation.  Home to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, this 57,000 acre section of trust land has changed significantly over the past century, but with the economic boon brought about by the casino, the...

Francis Swadesh identified an 18th century vecino cultural pattern, which after American occupation, retracted into the isolated hills and tributary valleys of the northern Rio Grande.  This paper investigates the impacts of the American invasion on vecino culture through a consideration of children’s artifacts and fantasy play.  As children were gradually excluded from the workforce and drawn into the home, they were simultaneously pulled into an expanding commercial market and public...

The achievement gap, "failing" schools, re-segregation and blight, while often seen as problems and signs of people of color in the US, are better understood as the results of modern efforts to enforce white privilege. Thus, as historical research on the building and renewal of American cities proceeds, we need to pay attention to how policies and practices supporting racial advantage were put in place and made material on the landscape. The urban and suburban northeast is an especially good...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper examines vertebrate species from Fort Ancient archaeological sites in the Ohio River Valley, which date to the Little Ice Age. They are compared to vertebrate species from archaeological sites, which predate the Little Ice Age and from modern contexts. The results of this comparison suggest that vertebrate species exhibited individual responses to...

In August 1862 long-simmering tensions between the Dakota and Euro-American traders, settlers, soldiers, and government officials boiled over into open warfare. For nearly two months militant Dakota warriors, ostensibly under the leadership of renowned chief Little Crow, attacked Euro-American settlements and military installations. In response, settlers across southwest and central Minnesota either fled the region or attempted to fortify their settlements. These so-called "settlers’ forts" of...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "The King's Shipyard Surveys, 2019: Submerged Cultural Heritage Near Fort Ticonderoga" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Only a handful of military vessels from the mid-eighteenth century have been excavated in North America. Not much is known about the building traditions and construction methodologies of this period, especially for the inland waterways. However, the King's Shipyard site offers a unique...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In several Mississippian sites circa 1050 CE, shrine houses and some other features were lined with a special bright yellow clay or clay mixture. This study looks at the variability and composition of these clay linings to determine what is the key vibrant ingredient in these ceremonially active clay linings. In this study methods of texture analysis, X-Ray...

This is an abstract from the "Maritime Transportation, History, and War in the 19th-Century Americas" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The barque Vicar of Bray, built in1844, was a substantially intact hulk utilized for storage and then as a breakwater both in Stanley and finally at Goose Green in the Falkland Islands.  It was one of more than a dozen "intact" 19th and early 20th century wood, iron and steel vessels that formed part of a unique...

This project reviewed a historic context subtheme regarding how military helicopter use during the Vietnam War influenced construction on U.S. military installations during this time period. The project report provides context and typology of Vietnam War (1962-1975) helicopter resources on DoD installations in the United States, offering a standardized approach to identifying property types, determining historical significance of properties, and assessing integrity.
