The disaster of Sultana has been recognized as the greatest maritime tragedy in United States history.  The wreck has little notoriety, despite its significance, due to historical overshadowing and a terminal resting place in the landlocked state of Arkansas.  Efforts for salvage were immediate, but archaeological undertakings have been cautious and sporadic.  An unwelcoming landscape and lack of interest and funding have consorted so that as we approach the sesquicentennial anniversary of...

This paper focuses on the continuing work at the African American community of Timbuctoo in Westampton, New Jersey. While our initial guiding questions sought to uncover cultural retentions that could be retraced to West Africa, the realities of our archaeological work shifted our focus to a complex discourse on social and economic class. Specifically, this paper discusses the practice of home canning as a medium to resist and improvise against economic marginalization. Through this discussion,...

In June of 2017, the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway will occur as archeologists begin the first dedicated project to discover the sunken aircraft at the atoll involved in the battle. Often considered as the turning point of the Pacific Front in World War II, Midway has been difficult to study archaeologically because of the remoteness of the location, and the difficulty in surveying around the treacherous reefs that surround it. Efforts to locate submerged aircraft have been made...

The new Sunken Military Craft Act regulations encouraged a reexamination of the Sunken Military Craft Inventory (SMCI). SMCI research is a dynamic process that continues to expand the management of sunken military craft overtime. The SMCI was challenged on 7 July 2014 when Nautilus Live discovered the USS Peterson (DD-969) in the Gulf of Mexico. The USS Peterson was a Navy sinking exercise (SINKEX) vessel that was intentionally sunk on 16 February 2004.  This discovery prompted detailed research...

This presentation discusses the quantity and context of the US Navy's submarine losses during World War I, World War II and the Cold War. The wrecks include losses due to combat, misadventure, and intentional scuttling.  Submarine wrecks representing war graves are given special consideration since they represent more than wreck sites for research, but also places that should be respected. The locations and causes of sinking of many submarines have been documented, however the final resting...

Archaeological recovery efforts at the site of CSS Georgia revealed brass and copper instruments known as gun sights. These gun sights facilitated the aiming of naval guns and are relatively rare in archaeological settings. After the American Civil War, material composed of cupreous metals, such as these sights, was melted and repurposed. A maker’s mark stamped on one of these instruments indicates that the manufacturer of these items was a certain Daniel Edwards whose foundry business was in...

This is an abstract from the "Current Research in Maritime Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Seafarers have long been associated with ritual and superstition.  Maritime ritual in Antiquity was often rooted in religion, as sailors for instance offered libations to the gods for a safe voyage.  In the early modern period, however, seafaring cultural practices were characterized as superstitious, and the ritualized activities on board...

This is an abstract from the "First Floridians to La Florida: Recent FSU Investigations" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Colonoware is a type of ceramic frequently recovered from Spanish Colonial period sites in North America.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Technologies and Public Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Postindustrial landscapes and communities present distinct challenges to archaeologists and heritage scholars. We demonstrate how the Keweenaw Time Traveler (KeTT), a web-accessible next-generation historical GIS, can be used to allow the public to contextualize and share overlapping concepts of place within the Copper Country, a...

This paper explores the daily practices within two 19th century Native Algonquin households at Indian Fields, a Montaukett village in eastern Long Island, New York. Though geographically distant from the white settlements of East Hampton Town, the Montaukett residents of these households were intimately entangled in local and global economic activities and social networks. Their participation in whaling, seafaring, and agriculture, the dominant economic activities, often led to absences from...
