Gimballed Beds and Gamming Chairs: Seafaring Wives aboard Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships (2015)
Women lived on sailing ships with their families during the 19th century, and chronicled their experiences in journals and letters now found in historical archives. Their stories remain on the periphery, as their signature is difficult to find in the maritime archaeological record. Primary documents make mention of several items built or brought on board specifically for their comfort or entertainment. Five captain’s wives sailed on the 19th-century whaleship Charles W. Morgan, still afloat...
GIS and the CSS Georgia Recovery Project (2016)
Visualizing the distribution of artifacts at the CSS Georgia site was a challenge due to the vast amount of material recorded and recovered. To assist in this, a GIS was created which incorporated data gathered from diver reconnaissance and recovery operations. First, unit sketches and notes were scanned and georectified. Later, artifacts positioned from the sketches and ultra-short baseline (USBL) readings were digitized and organized according to type. This allowed the archaeologists to...
GIS-Based Predictive Modeling and Urban Industrial Archaeology: A Case Study In London, Ontario (2016)

Glass Beads, Pearlware, and Red Fliming: Exploring MAterial Cultural of the South Carolina Inland Lowcountry Settlement Indians (2023)
Artifacts from the Laurel Hill Plantation site in southern Dorchester County, South Carolina, suggest an early 19th -century Settlement Indian occupation. These indigenous groups were forced to adapt and utilize new strategies to cope with the onslaught of European colonization. They found themselves betwixt and between political economies marred by enslavement and changing cultural and geographic realities, obscuring traditional practices. We explore these connections through a native-produced...
The Glass of New Spain: Exploring Early Modern Networks through Material Culture (2018)
The arrival of glass in the Americas and its development as a technology in New Spain needs to be understood within the complex global networks that begin to develop during the early modern period as part of trans-oceanic trade. During this time, people, objects, materials, technologies, and ideas traveled around the world like never before. These movements and encounters had a direct impact on craft production as well as in the consumer demands of colonial societies. Understanding material...
Glass, Floods, and "Gov'ment Work": Exploring Industrial Heritage in Blairsville, Southwestern Pennsylvania (2016)
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, western Pennsylvania was a leading center in American plate glass manufacture. One of the region’s smaller plants was run by the Columbia Plate Glass Company, which operated in Blairsville from 1903 to 1935. During this time, the glass factory provided a major boost to the local economy and supported a community of workers’ housing. Shortly after the factory’s abandonment, the United States Army Corps of Engineers purchased the site as part of a...

Global Capitalism Is Modern Colonialism (2013)
Colonialism has long been a focus of research within the field of Historical Archaeology. Recently, archaeological understanding of colonialism has become more complex and realistic as researchers have included issues centering on consumerism, the articulations of colonialist processes with capitalism, and colonialism’s role in globalization processes. However, much Historical Archaeological scholarship has implicitly or explicitly recognized colonialism as an arterial process within the larger...
Global Capitalist Symbolic Violence at Small Scale on Providence Island (2016)
Symbolic violence is usually subtle even though its physical manifestations can be imposing. Fortifications of colonialist powers express symbolic violence in contextually important ways, but when constructed as part of a colonial-capitalist nexus they have especially strong symbolic power. Focusing on the Puritan colony on Providence Island off the coast of Nicaragua (1630-41), I explore the symbolic nature of the island’s fortifications and their impact upon the indentured and enslaved...
Global Currents and Local Currents in Northern La Florida: Recent Finds at the Berry Site in Western North Carolina (2018)
Spanish exploration and colonization of the American South encompassed a great deal of movement, including the movements of Spanish conquistadors, flows of goods to coastal entrepots and inland along the routes of Spanish entradas, rearrangements of Native American groups within the cultural landscape, and practices of placemaking that created common ground and borders between natives and newcomers. One site at which to consider these dimensions of the Spanish colonialism in La Florida is the...
