Inkwells: Plain and Fancy, Personal and Commercial (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meta F. Janowitz.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Specialized Ceramic Vessels, From Oyster Jars to Ornaments" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Vessels made to hold ink have been a necessary part of writers’ tool kits since antiquity. Salt-glazed stoneware inkwells and ink stands were in common use during the late 18th and 19th centuries, yet they are seldom identified in archaeological collections. At a time when elegant handwriting was a mark of gentility...

Mont Repose plantation has been the primary focus of this work but recently investigations moved to the north side of the river where at least four additional plantations have been located. Preliminary research has focused on structural analysis of these plantations, particularly locating outlying features in addition to the main house complex....

Innovation, Entrepreneurialism, And Entanglement: A Case Study Of Chinese-run Extractive Industries And Resource Frontiers In The American West (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only J Ryan Kennedy.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Considering Frontiers Beyond the Romantic: Spaces of Encroachment, Innovation, and Far Reaching Entanglements" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The American West has long been synonymous with frontier romanticism, due in large part to the lingering popularity of Frederick Jackson Turner’s Frontier Thesis. Such viewpoints belie the complexity of frontier landscapes where indigenous, migrant, and colonial...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Archaeology: Down by the Water" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The redevelopment and revitalization of Alexandria’s waterfront has resulted in significant finds, including four historic ships.

Inquiry-Based Learning and the Kingsley Shelter Curriculum (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amber Grafft-Weiss. Sarah Miller. Emily Palmer.

Archaeologists invested in outreach and education, such as the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), are adapting to an American educational climate focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)-based resources. As such, the investigation of a Kingsley Slave Cabin addition to the Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter curriculum is a critically needed resource, allowing students from elementary schools across the southeastern United States to engage in science and math...

Inroduction to the John Hollister Site (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian D Jones.

The John Hollister Site in Glastonbury, Connecticut was occupied from at least 1650 to about 1715. Since that time it has rested quietly beneath an isolated pasture. Recent archaeological investigations of the site documents how effectively the Hollisters and their tenants were able to adapt to this new land and become socially and economically successful, despite many environmental, social, cultural and political challenges. The site is unique to Connecticut in providing such a rich picture of...

The Inscribed Word vs. the Spoken Word in African History and Archaeology (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Peter Schmidt.

Pierre Nora got it wrong when he drew a distinction between inscribed history and social memory. By making this unfortunate dichotomy he unwittingly amplified a long standing separation between the written word and the spoken word in history making. The writings of F. Lwamgira in NW Tanzania provide a poignant study from which insights emerge about the speciousness of such distinctions. Lwamgira's writings take on an authoritative quality by becoming materially inscribed representations of Haya...

Per a request in 2016 of the Seneca Nation of Indians, Mercyhurst University has been conducting archaeological field training at Custaloga Town, a Seneca-Delaware village known from historical documents for its 1750s-60s occupation.

Insights from the Virginia Street Bridge Demolition and Replacement Project, Reno NV (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Shaun Richey. Amanda Rankin.

The Virginia Street Bridge, one of the oldest reinforced concrete bridges in the west, located in downtown Reno, Nevada, was built in 1905 and designed by the well know architect John B. Leonard. The bridge stood on the founding location for the city of Reno and with its construction shifted the commercial core of Reno away from the railroad and to the Truckee River making the area around the bridge a center point for commerce in the city. Because of the bridge’s loss of structural integrity...

Insights into Nineteenth Century US Westward Expansion from the River Basin Surveys Collections. (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lotte E Govaerts.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Louisiana Purchase significantly expanded the United States. For decades thereafter, the Missouri River was the main transportation route for US interests in the new northwestern regions of its territory. Consequently, many sites related to US colonialist expansion in the form of fur trade posts, military forts, Indian Agencies, and early US settlement, were located along the Missouri River. Several of these sites were investigated during the River...

Insights into Paleoenvironment and Cultural Resilience on the Ancient Georgia Coast and Implications for Sustainability in the Twenty-First Century (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katharine Napora. Victor Thompson. Alexander Cherkinsky. Robert Horan. Craig Jacobs.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We discuss key insights into over 5,000 years of environmental change on the Georgia Coast derived from tree-ring analyses of a deposit of ancient bald cypress from the mouth of the Altamaha River, including changes in coastal forests through time. Human-environment interactions, such as the resilience of estuarine-based societies and ecosystems during periods...

Insights on the American Experience from Zooarchaeology (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Terrance J. Martin.

Archaeological investigations of historical sites in the midwestern United States provide numerous examples that illustrate how zooarchaeological analyses can provide unique perspectives on how various social and ethnic groups responded to changing culture contact situations, as well as to alterations in economic and environmental settings. Although studies of animal remains are typically directed at revealing details about past foodways, several case studies demonstrate how animal exploitation...
