This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The archaeology of the Japanese Diaspora is an emerging field that focuses on the experiences and material culture of Nikkei (individuals with Japanese heritage) across the world. This paper adds to this growing literature by reporting on the results of fieldwork at the Japanese Camp at the Barneston Townsite (45KI1424). Investigated as part of the Issei at Barneston Project (IABP),...
The Dalles to Sandy River Wagon Road: Overland through the Columbia River Gorge (2015)
Upon reaching the Oregon Cascades, most Oregon Trail pioneers either rafted their wagons down the Columbia River or traveled the Barlow Road overland around the south side of Mt. Hood to the Willamette Valley, both treacherous options. Following the discovery of gold in eastern Oregon, reliable overland travel became an increasing priority, and the state appropriated resources in 1872 to build a wagon road through the Columbia River Gorge. Treacherous slopes, steep grades, and construction of...
Dalton Mobility in the Tennessee River Valley: An Assessment of Raw Material Use and Tool Curation (2018)
Previous research in the Southeast has demonstrated that Dalton groups underwent a process of settling in to the landscape. This has been demonstrated through the identification of raw materials used for the production of Dalton hafted bifaces. A preference for locally available raw materials has been noted in previous studies, a departure from Clovis groups who routinely made use of non-local cherts. This trend has been well established outside of the Tennessee River Valley; however, little...
Daniel Gookin's Atlantic World: An ESRI GIS Storymap for Archaeology (2016)
Presenting archaeological data to both public and academic audiences in the digital age presents problems and opportunities to make the results of excavation and survey more accessible. In some cases, one class of data is highlighted over another resulting in an unbalanced perspective. The ESRI Story map platform provides a template that can visually represent spatial information, and link this with photographs, artifact catalogs, and primary documents. What is more, Story Maps are set up to be...
Daniel Gookin’s Atlantic World: Comparative Archaeological Landscapes in Ireland and Virginia. (2013)
This poster illustrates an enhanced comparative approach to understanding colonial projects by using the archaeological biography of Daniel Gookin Jr. (1612-1685), an important but relatively unknown figure involved in English plantation projects in Ireland, Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts. The study of individual biography provides a framework from which to better situate archaeological sites of the seventeenth-century Chesapeake in the greater Atlantic world. Through creating a broader...
Danish Colonial Healthcare Policy and Enslaved Healing Practices on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. (2015)
This paper explores the relationship between Danish centrally administered healthcare policy and enslaved populations on the island of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands during the nineteenth century. During the period between 1803 and 1848, a series of plantation medical hospitals were constructed on the island in order to provide medical services to enslaved individuals in an effort to reduce mortality and morbidity rates. This paper will address the preliminary archaeological fieldwork stages of my...
A Danish Colonial Merchant's Residence in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas: Material expressions of colonialism and the intersection of local and global trade at the Bankhus (2013)
Archaeology at a Danish colonial merchant's residence in Charlotte Amalie projects the complex yet distinct array of consumer goods available in a 19th century Danish Caribbean port town. The walled compound housed a series of 19th and early 20th merchants/bankers and their household servants. This study explores the intersection of micro and macro history as it assesses the material and documentary record of the site. The house and its furnishings were selected for commemorative photo...

The Dardenne Presbyterian Church Archaeological Project (2016)
This paper examines the archaeological remains of the Dardenne Presbyterian Church in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri. Constructed in 1845, the Church served as a gathering ground for residents of the area for both religious and social purposes. During the course of the Civil War, the Church was encountered by Union soldiers who proceeded to burn it down in 1862. Today, the remains of the church can still be found. Through selective shovel testing and excavation, various building materials have been...
The Dark Arts: Mississippian Dramatic Delusions and Theatrical Illusions (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Magic, Spirits, Shamanism, and Trance" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Demonstrating one’s spiritual power through dramatic theatrics, based on deceptions and illusions, has long been the purview of ritual practitioners in their efforts to gain, legitimize, and maintain political and social advantages. Exclusive and secretive ritual sodalities, which often form the institutional framework for corporate-based magical...
Dark Places: Archaeological Investigations of Historic Underground Mines (2015)
Despite decades of research at historic mines, archaeological forays in North America have seldom extended to investigate underground workplaces. The reasons are understandable: underground mines are hazardous environments, and it is also the case that fewer mines are accessible due to environmental remediation. The current underrepresentation of the underground, however, has limited disciplinary insights into the mining life. This paper draws from a set of pioneering studies that draw attention...
Dark Shadows of the Homefront: Crystal City and Internment During World War II (2015)
Dark Shadows of the Home-front During America’s World War II Crystal City and Internment Carroll-Scogin-Brincefield MA The textbooks and historical documentaries all discuss the shameful treatment of Japanese Americans being forced to relocation and internment camps during World War II, but selective amnesia concerning German and Italian Americans have left a void in the true history of internments in the United States. Texas had 21 POW camps and 3 Internment camps, that’s twice the amount of...
