DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard A. Humbard.

Mystery Ships? Follow the Blue-and-White Trail (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Edward P. Von der Porten.

Identifying Manila galleon shipwrecks on the West Coast has been made possible by creating a tightly dated Chinese blue-on-white porcelain chronology. First, the porcelains left behind at Drakes Bay, California, by Francis Drake in 1579 were separated from those of the San Agustin shipwreck of 1595 in the same location. From the study of three additional shipwreck porcelain groups, a chronology of a key porcelain type called Kraak ware was created covering the period 1578 through 1643. The...

The Mystic Schooners of the 20th Century: The Legacy of the Last Sailing Merchant Vessels (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan J Bradley.

At the dawn of the 20th century, a revival swept the ports of New England ushering in an era of wooden shipbuilding not seen on the Atlantic coast since the Civil War. These vessels, schooner rigged for the coastal trade, were built for bulk, ferrying cargo from southern ports and the Caribbean to the industrial powerhouses of Boston and New York. A builder, based in Mystic, Connecticut, joined in and produced a number of vessels that shared more than the same port of origin; nearly half met...

Mythical Beasts, Lotus Blossoms, and Bamboo: Examining the evidence for Chinese Porcelain in Virginia (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Suzanne Findlen Hood.

From its first introduction into Western homes, Chinese porcelain held mystique and value. Treasured for translucency and decoration, porcelain crossed the Atlantic with the first settlers at Jamestown who brought with them wine cups and other pieces of Chinese porcelain as symbols of the society they had left behind. These commodities were signs of the wealth and status of those who owned them. Chinese porcelain continued to represent these qualities into the eighteenth century, even as it...

Mythology, Battlefields, Shipwrecks, and Forts: The U.S. Army and the settlement of the Oregon Territory (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark A. Tveskov.

United States colonialism in the Oregon Territory was a maelstrom of hostility, ambiguity, and conflicting agendas among Native Americans, Gold miners, pioneer families, citizen militias, Indian agents, and Army personnel. The U.S. Army's role in this drama was particularly ambiguous; many of the pro-states rights pioneers in this pre-Civil War era of the 1850s resented the soldiers—to the point of armed conflict--for defending the treaty rights of Native American people, while the Army was...

Nails of Old Mission (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Abby J Mier. Kerri Finlayson.

Nail analysis is a tool to identify the function and changes of structures in late nineteenth century frontier buildings. Using techniques involving visual inspection and comparative analysis, one can identify the approximate age of the nails as well as practical uses for their type and size. The purpose of this paper is to show how nail analysis aids in our interpretation of the chronology and function of buildings at the Peter Dougherty site (1842-1852) on Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City,...

The last battle in the Dakota- U.S. war took place near Yellow Medicine, Minnesota in 1862. The dominant narrative, initiated by memorialization events held by U.S. veterans at the site, is of a brave last charge by U.S. soldiers using shoulder arms, under the support of artillery, to...

Narratives of the Past: Positioning Modern Memory in a Historic Context (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelly Goldberg.

The field of historical archaeology is uniquely situated with simultaneous access to both past and present. Beyond analysis of material remains, researchers frequently take advantage of oral accounts to gain a more holistic understanding of past events. However, even when such accounts are not available from direct descendants, the possible use of oral histories in research should not be immediately discounted. Through investigations of a historic habitation in Charleston, South Carolina,...

NAS Initiatives in North Carolina and Virginia (2016)

In 2012, NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, East Carolina University, and the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute began a collaborative effort to offer NAS training to community members throughout North Carolina and Virginia. Since then the initiative further opened to additional partners from state agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and dive shops and an expanded offering of courses spanning from introductory courses to Part 3 modules (and standalone projects) are now offered. This...

Nasty Stuff In Historical Archaeology (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lilian Bodley. Ray von Wandruszka.

This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As it is the purpose of historical archaeology to unearth the unknown, there can be unpleasant surprises. Books have been written on the lurking dangers of artifacts, especially in regard to biological contagion. Chemical toxicity may also rear its ugly head, especially in laboratories like ours, where we focus on the chemical identification of historical...

The Nate Harrison Historical Archaeology Project: Material, Methodological, and Theoretical Overviews (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Seth Mallios.

Ongoing research from archaeological and historical investigations into 19th-century San Diego County legend Nate Harrison (ca. 1833-1920) have revealed a wealth of insight into one of the region’s most celebrated pioneers. This paper offers an overview of the project’s most significant finds, places these ideas in context, and fosters comparisons between Harrison’s legend and the refuse uncovered at his hillside homestead. Instead of insisting that these lines of evidence be seen...
