Data Recovery Plan for the Black Pond Site 38SU45, 38SU133, and 38SU145, on the Poinsett Electronic Combat Range, Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter, South Carolina (1996)
This document describes the parameters of a data recovery plan for the three sites which make up the significant portions of the Black Pond Site, 38SU45, 38SU133 and 38SU145. The first part discusses the research context and objectives, while the second part describes in detail the scope of work for the proposed investigation. Three research topics can be identified to which the Black Pond site can contribute. Those are: (1) culture-chronology building, (2) site structural and functional...
Database Creation for the Legacy Collection of Hannastown (2016)
The rapid technological advances in digital computing of the preceding fifty years have allowed for an ever increasing complex analysis of archaeological assemblages. For those working with legacy collections curated before the advent of personal computing, the task of digitizing and formatting data into a usable form while also insuring against the same obsolescence that is being corrected can be daunting. The Applied Archaeology program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania takes a...
A database for the underwater cultural heritage of Portugal (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. Ignored since long, the underwater cultural heritage of Portugal needs an assessment, an inventory, a diagnostic, and a set of policies for its study and protection. At the ShipLAB we believe that no policy towards the cultural heritage that does not include the population is bound to fail....
Dataset for "The spatial dimension of the Woodland period" (2017)
The dataset provided here contains (1) a list of sites by site number for each of four archaeological components and (2) a list of radiocarbon dates by site number and lab id. The first list was compiled from information obtained from state archaeological site files. The second list was compiled from site reports and publication. Both lists were used to generate maps and figures in the forthcoming paper "The spatial dimension of the Woodland period." UTM coordinates were withheld from...
Dating a Tree Island: A Comparison between Faunal Bone, Shell, Pottery, and Coprolites (2017)
South Florida’s tree island hammocks are islands that were once completely surrounded by water and used as habitation areas from the Archaic period and beyond. Although many islands along the coast can be dated using marine shell, interior tree islands (such as those found on Seminole Tribe of Florida reservation lands) generally lack these artifacts making for a difficult dating strategy. This paper will focus on a comparison of dating material, including shell, pottery, faunal bone, and...
Dauntless Protection: Managing the U.S. Navy Aircraft Wrecks of Lake Michigan (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 1942 to 1945, the U.S. Navy conducted extensive Carrier Qualification Training in Lake Michigan. The training program was highly successful with only 120 aircraft lost in the lake, a considerably low number when taking into account the 120,000 successful landings and 35,000 pilots qualified. As a group, and individually, these wrecksites represent an important and unique piece of...
A Day in the Life: Artifacts from Pipestone Indian Boarding School, Pipestone, Minnesota (2015)
Agency as reflected in the archeological record is a well-studied and disputed theme among archeologists. Broad generalizations arise from these conversations resulting in an over-simplification of the conditions under which the record was created. It is easy to paint the narrative that emerges in black and white terms. Life in the United States was rarely that simple during the Indian boarding school area. Oral histories show that employees and students alike had mixed feelings about their...
The Days After Colorado’s Darkest Day: Initial Work at Julesburg Station and Camp Rankin, Colorado (2020)

Freedom Mine, located in LaRue, Wisconsin, is one of the few examples of these iron ore mines left in the region, and its underground workings remain...
De-Centering Expertise in Public Archaeology: Promises and Perils from the Great Bay Archaeological Survey (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Public Archaeology in New Hampshire: Museum and University Research" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Great Bay Archaeological Survey (GBAS) explores early colonial settlements in the Great Bay Estuary (1620-1750 AD). Public and community are buzzwords in conversations around the future of archaeology because there is a sense we must have real buy-in from the broader public to remain relevant. However,...
De-Polarizing Archaeology’s Views on Cultural Pride: The Case of Houses and Plants in Castroville (2017)
In archaeology, we commonly view pride in cultural heritage as either beneficial or dangerous. When we see it as dangerous—ethnocentric or nationalistic—we challenge it by producing material evidence of cultural hybridity and heterogeneity. When we view it as beneficial—emancipatory and unifying—we bolster it by providing communities with material symbols of past accomplishments and cultural continuity. This paper considers how we might de-polarize archaeological perspectives on cultural pride...
