A series of high-resolution multibeam sonar surveys were conducted to quantify and monitor the morphology of the sediment mound...
Shanties on the Mountainside: A Look at Labor on the Blue Ridge Railroad (2018)
From 1850 to 1860, the Blue Ridge Mountains were home to roughly 1,900 Irish laborers as they worked on the construction of the Virginia Central Railroad. Upon its completion, the railroad stretched from Norfolk, Virginia, to the Ohio River. Along the Blue Ridge Mountains, several cuts and tunnels were constructed by the Irish immigrants including the 4,263ft Blue Ridge Tunnel. In 2011, a local non-profit organization, focused on pinpointing the remains of Irish shantytown homes, contacted the...

The shore line of Alexandria, Virginia in the early 18th century sat approximately 300 feet farther west than it does now.

Shared Authority, Reflective Practice, and Community Outreach: Thoughts on Parallel Conversations in Public History and Historical Archaeology (2015)
Over the past two decades, publications in public history, museum studies, oral history, historic preservation, and historical archaeology have often followed similar trajectories in seeking to serve a diversity of stakeholders connected to historic sites and promoting discussion of poorly documented and marginalized communities. This paper traces these parallel theoretical concepts and ethical considerations and examines how public archaeologies of the recent past may benefit from closer...

This is an abstract from the "Communicating Working Class Heritage in the 21st Century: Values, Lessons, Methods, and Meanings" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. About 1941-1943, as the Cumberland (now Daniel Boone) National Forest, was forming, the occupants of two rural domestic sites in Menifee County, Kentucky left, most eventually to find work in factories of Ohio and Michigan. Recent historical and archaeological study of these sites has...
Sharing the Interpretive Center at Colonial Williamsburg: Archaeologists, Historical Interpreters, and Descendant Communities (2015)
Archaeology at Colonial Williamsburg has always involved African Americans in different levels of its practice. Members of this community have worked behind-the-scenes and in more public roles at the museum since its founding in the late 1920s. This presentation addresses the unique ways in which archaeologists have worked with African Americans, and how this interaction has allowed archaeologists to reach descendant communities. Examples from past and ongoing activities are used to illustrate...
Sharing The Wealth: Crowd Sourcing Texts And Artifacts (2016)
Historical archaeological studies have always relied upon statistically valid datasets for quantitative analyses and often required that archaeologists wade through volumes of text for clues to a site’s historical context. The digital age allows for the collection of these data in a variety of ways including gathering primary sources through crowd sourcing – multiple users, often from a diversity of sites or backgrounds, compiling data into a central repository. This paper explores the utility...
