Drawing From The Well: The Life Of A Founding Family, Boise, Idaho, 1864-1907 (2015)
In 2012, an abandoned well was discovered beneath the porch at the Cyrus Jacobs-Uberuaga House in Boise, Idaho. The house, now a part of the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, is already a cultural and historical landmark, both for its importance to Boise’s early history and its Basque population. The nearly 16,000 artifacts recovered in 2012 shed light on the house’s earliest occupation by the Jacobs family, from 1864-1907. The Jacobs were one of the founding families of Boise and helped shape...
Drayton Hall Reimagined: New Perspectives on the Commercial, Ornamental and Intellectual Landscapes of John Drayton (c.1715-1779) (2015)
Recent research has exposed how Drayton Hall (c.1738) was conceived by wealthy planter John Drayton to operate as a gentleman’s suburban estate at the center of his vast network of commercial plantations that stretched across South Carolina and Georgia. Drawing from extant architecture, archaeological evidence, landscape features and surviving documentary records, this study will further our knowledge of one of South Carolina’s greatest plantation networks by examining the social, economic and...

Dresden Porcelain Project (2018)
I am an art historian and I am involved in the Dresden Porcelain Project. August the Strong (1630-1730) was Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, was the greatest collector of Chinese and Japanese porcelain of this time. His collection of over 8500 pieces is now being catalogued and put on the web by a team of scholars. Because the collection was inventoried twice, in 1721 and again later in the 18th century, it is extremely important. I will show some examples of Kangxi (1662-1722) blue and...
Dress, Labor, and Choice: An Intersectional Analysis of Clothing and Adornment Artifacts (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Gender Revolutions: Disrupting Heteronormative Practices and Epistemologies" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the midst of racialized servitude, sexual exploitation, and economic disenfranchisement, that marked the post-emancipation era in the United States, African American women were styling their hair with combs, lacing glass beads around their necks, dyeing coarse-cotton fabric with indigo-berry and...
Drowning the Library: Sea-Level Rise and Archaeological Site Destruction in the Southeastern United States (2018)
The impacts of past and projected climate change and specifically sea level fluctuations on heritage resources are examined across the southeastern US using site and environmental data integrated in DINAA (Digital Index of North American Archaeology). Minor changes in sea level have shaped human settlement from the late Pleistocene onward, including in recent millennia when shorelines are incorrectly assumed to have stabilized at or near present levels. In the near term, tens of thousands of...
Dry Ice Blasting Research and Testing for the Conservation of Metal Objects (2018)
The objects recovered from USS Monitor are large, composite pieces that require complex conservation treatments. An innovative conservation technique currently implemented by the Batten Conservation Complex (BCC) is dry ice blasting. Dry ice blasting involves the use of solid carbon dioxide pellets as an abrasive, and has the potential to be used on a variety of materials for the removal of marine concretion and corrosion. The BCC has researched the use of dry ice blasting as a conservation...
Du Pratz's Dishes: Colonoware from Fort Rosalie, and the Paradox of Globalization (2015)
French colonial Fort Rosalie, situated in present day Natchez, Mississippi, was the site of intimate cross cultural exchange. Living in the frontier at a distant outpost of the Louisiana colony, the soldiers felt comfortable incorporating Indigenous foods into their diets, eating from Natchezan vessels, and even taking Native wives. Far from idyllic however, the European and Indigenous inhabitants of the Natchez Bluffs were swept up in larger paradoxes of globalization spurred by increasing...
The Duality of Maize: Lessons in a Contextual Archaeology of Foodways (2016)
Historical archaeologists specialize in the evidence of daily life, including foodways, yet archaeological interpretations of food practices are often based upon the uncritical use of food histories. Archaeologists who are methodologically precise when investigating the physical evidence of foodways are often less exacting when using the secondary literature to interpret these remains. This practice poses interpretive perils for the unwary archaeologist, however. An examination of the role of...
Dust-Lined Boxes and Warehouses: A Re-Analysis of 17th Century Archaeological Collections from Fort Eustis, VA (2016)
Considering the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), critical evaluation of two of historical archaeology’s primary functions, fieldwork and collection management, appears to be timely and essential. As Julia King’s 2014 post to the Society for Historical Archaeology’s blog notes, current circumstances appear to favor the generation of new artifactual remains rather than the need to process and catalogue what is already unearthed. However, if historical archaeology...
Dutch Treats: Archaeological Evidence of the Dutch Trade with Seventeenth-Century Virginians (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "From Maryland’s Ancient [Seat] and Chief of Government: Papers in Honor of Henry M. Miller" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Through the years, scholars have acknowledged that, aside from the English, no Europeans were more involved in the commercial and political affairs of the seventeenth-century Chesapeake than the Dutch. Dr. Henry Miller’s archaeological research in Historic St. Mary’s City has indicated...
Dwelling While Crossing: Migrant Mobility, Material Memory, and Religious Place-Making in the Sonoran Desert (2018)
Migrant-erected shrine sites encountered throughout the Sonoran Desert draw attention to the significance of religious place-making in transient spaces, of dwelling while crossing. As migrant material cultures continue to be degraded as "trash," shrine sites made by migrants are likely to become central to the memory of undocumented migration across the US/Mexico Border. Claiming these sites as "monuments" of undocumented migration, however, may threaten to sanitize what is a violent social...
"Dying Like Sheep There": Racial Ideology and Concepts of Health at a Camp of Instruction for the U.S. Colored Troops in Charles County, Maryland (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Health and Inequality in the Archaeological Record" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Camp Stanton was a major Civil War recruitment and training camp for the U.S. Colored Infantry, established in southern Maryland both to draw recruits from its plantations, and to pacify a region yet invested in slavery. More than a third of the nearly 9,000 African Americans recruited by the Union in Maryland during the Civil War...
The Dynamite Bombings of African-American Homes in mid-20th Century Dallas: Anarchistic Perspectives and Resurrecting the Memory of Domestic Terrorism (2017)
A series of dynamite bombings of black residences rocked the communities of Dallas in the 1940s and early 1950s. Although acknowledged by the local and national press while the attacks were ongoing, these events are not a part of the popular or normative history of the city. Current state and federal antiquities laws would almost certainly not perceive these properties as culturally or historically significant, and their materiality could remain unacknowledged and invisible. While the act of...
The Dyottville Glass Factory: Tracing the Evolution of the Dyottville Glass Works via Interactive 3D Reconstruction (2016)
This project focuses on the 3D recreation of the various stages of the Dyottville Glass Works located between Gunner’s Run and the Delaware River. The Dyottville Glass Works began in the early 19th century and eventually produced a large variety of well-known bottles, flasks and other items that were widely used. Working from a variety of illustrations, photographs and paintings, along with point cloud scans of the original foundations, we have created an interactive platform that lets users...
The Dyottville Glass Works, 1816 - 1901 (2016)
Dyottville has a strong association with its colorful founder, Dr. Thomas W. Dyott, but glassmaking began on the site before him and continued for much longer after him. This presentation will trace the history of the Dyottville Glass Works as it grew from John Hewson Jr.'s single furnace to the large factory complex of Henry B. Benners and his brothers.

The Earliest Bioarchaeological Evidence of the African Diaspora in Renaissance Romania (2017)
Little documentary or archaeological information currently exists regarding the presence of people of African descent in Eastern Europe during the historical period. Known to have arrived in Europe with the Romans, free and enslaved Africans were common members of European society by the advent of the Renaissance, especially in the Moorish territories and the Ottoman Empire. At the cemetery site of Suceava, located in northeastern Romania, archaeologists in the 1950s excavated two sets of...

An Early "Treasure" – Reexamining the 1554 Spanish Plate Fleet Shipwrecks of Texas at 50 years (2020)
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. In April of 1554, three vessels from the Spanish plate fleet were blown off course during a storm and lost at Padre Island in modern-day Texas. Subsequent private salvage of these shipwrecks in the late 1960s resulted in the enactment...
