This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists often use both archaeological data and historical records to assist in their reconstruction of the past. However, historical records are usually written by a small portion of the population and this written history is usually about themselves and not a representation of the whole. The inarticulate Whites are a group of European descent people...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In Spanish colonial sites, olive jars stand out among other ceramic types as important chronological markers due to their abundance and previously observed changes in form over three centuries. This plays a large role in identifying the...

USS Westfield was the flagship of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron during the American Civil War. Originally a New York ferry, Westfield was purchased by the U.S. Navy in 1861 and converted into an armored gunboat. On January 1, 1863 Westfield was destroyed by her captain during the Battle of Galveston to avoid capture. In 2009, the remaining wreckage, consisting of a disarticulated artifact debris field, was recovered from the Texas City Channel in advance of a dredging project. The remaining...

Often associated with the documentary record and prized for their historical relevance, photographs can be an invaluable instrument found within any historical archaeologist's toolkit. They help to illuminate and corroborate the material cultural remains we find within the archaeological record as they present to us their dramas through images frozen in time. It is in this phenomenon of storytelling that this paper puts much of its focus as it explores the use of historical photographs as an...

Compiling and making accessible primary archaeological data from multiple sources and across large areas is one of the grand challenges facing archaeology in the twenty-first century. The Paleoindian Database of the Americas (PIDBA) has been operating for over 25 years to make Paleoindian data openly accessible online to all interested parties. Data from more than 100 scholars, including locational data on over 30,000 projectile points, has been made available in digital form that has been...

This is an abstract from the "One of a Kind: Approaching the Singular Artifact and the Archaeological Imagination" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeologists have traditionally relied upon large datasets to investigate historical fishing industries, the distribution of fish products, and the effect of fishing on the environment. Such studies make critical contributions to understandings of past fisheries; however, not all fish stories require...

On December 31st 1862, during the USS Monitor’s final hours, the ironclad’s crew discarded many personal items in its gun turret in preparation to crossing the deck and hopefully reach rescue boats. Recovered with the turret in 2002 through a joint effort between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Navy, these personal belongings are being conserved by a team of specialists within the Batten Conservation Complex at The Mariners’ Museum and Park (TMMP) in Newport...

This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology, Faunal, and Foodways Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 2016-17 excavations at Boston’s former Unity Court Tenements yielded an incredibly rich assemblage of 19th-century artifacts. These tenements, in operation 1830-1880, served the ever-growing and changing community of Boston’s North End, and it was expected that their excavation would uncover the complex material culture of those living...

In Virginia, the majority of excavataions at early eighteenth-century plantations have been concentrated in the Tidewater region. Recently, however, more archaeologists are turning their focus inland toward the Piedmont. Established in 1723 by President James Madison's grandparents, Ambrose and Frances, Mount Pleasant is one of these early Piedmont plantations. For much of its occupation it  was managed by a woman; Ambrose Madison died shortly after moving to Mount Pleasant, leaving his wife in...

The corner of Franklin and Customhouse in New Orleans was a lively place in the early decades of the twentieth century, but this was nothing new.  The little commercial district had been bustling at least since after the civil war.  This section of town was home to immigrants for decades prior to the official opening of the "tenderloin". The well known "honkey tonk" that would become the Pig Ankle had been the long-time home to Julia Gigoux, a French immigrant who ran a coffee house there for...

By the end of the nineteenth century Plymouth Massachusetts had become a typical New England Town with an active industrial base and a vibrant waterfront.  With the decline of the textile industry Plymouth re branded itself by highlighting its unique history. This was achieved not only by highlighting the Pilgrim story but also by the removal of many aspects of its 19th century landscape. This paper addresses the changes made in the mid-twentieth century through neighborhood redevelopment.

Excavations over the last four decades on St. Catherines Island, GA have recovered over 200 pipe fragments and a dozen nearly complete pipes. These pipes are both historic and native made which cover a wide range of sites through occupational periods on the island. In this paper, I will present the results of recent and previous analyses and consolidate this information to explore the island-wide distribution and temporal trends of pipes on St. Catherines Island. In addition I will examine...

In the summer of 2013, the Ohio Historical Connection and Hocking Community College Summer Archaeological field school held joint excavations at the Pickawillany site, a British fur trading outpost and Miami Indian Village from the 1740s. During excavations, a stone pipe fragment, bearing a sun burst pattern was recovered. This poster examines this unique artifact and the contact in which it was discovered.
