"The Site Mama": Mothering and Mentorship as the Taproot of Community Driven Research Projects (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Seeber.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Women’s Work: Archaeology and Mothering" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Most every site, every crew, has their “site mama”; a lady who reminds everyone to drink water, pick up their garbage, and check for ticks. The Site Mama does the unpaid labor of keeping the crew and site well. Community oriented archaeology, which thrives only under an ethic of care, is many times formulated and dependent on this same...

Sixty Years of Archeology in Independence National Historical Park: Learning from the Past, Digging for the Future (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jed Levin. Deborah L. Miller. Alexander Keim.

Beginning in the early 1950’s archeologists began sifting the soil beneath Independence National Historical Park in an effort to help inform and guide the development of a new national park. Over the course of subsequent decades the formative work of Paul Schumacher, Barbara Liggett, and John Cotter, among others, shaped the park’s physical appearance, as well as the interpretive experience, for generations of visitors. In the process, these pioneers and their work played a key role in the birth...


Sixty Years of Encampment Archaeology at Valley Forge (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jesse A West-Rosenthal.

From Lexington and Concord to Yorktown, fighting for the newfound independence of the American colonies occupied soldiers for only a fraction of the eight years spent engaged in conflict. The archaeology of the American Revolution goes well beyond the battlefield locations that dot the American landscape. With soldiers spending up to six months of the year in encampments, places like Valley Forge offer researchers the opportunity to understand the time spent outside the fighting season. This...

Slate Pencils and Stoves: The Impact of the Rosenwald Fund on Schools in Gloucester, County Virginia (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Colleen Betti.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Before, After, and In Between: Archaeological Approaches to Places (through/in) Time" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The creation of the Rosenwald Fund in 1917 seems like a small event, but had a large impact on portions of the population. The fund helped rural African American communities in the South build over 5000 state of the art schoolhouses in their communities, often replacing old structures that...


Slave Foodways at James Madison’s Montpelier A.D. 1810- 1830 (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Chance H. Copperstone. Barnet Pavao-Zuckerman.

Based primarily on similarities in occupation, the enslaved population at Montpelier formed distinct enclaves within the plantation, both spatially and within the hierarchy of the operation of the plantation. While food rations at Montpelier were nominally the same for each of these groups, position within the plantation hierarchy created differing opportunity to supplement those rations through access to both the Madison’s themselves and to the means to acquire wild game. Zooarchaeological...


Slave Quarters, Stand, or Trash Dump? Determining Site Function at the Food Plot Site.  (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Gisler.

The Food Plot Site is located on the Tombigbee National Forest in Mississippi. It was discovered in a 2006 survey. Initially, only whiteware and amethyst glass were found at the site and it was determined to be ineligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The site was revisited in 2008,  shortly after it had been plowed. During this visit hundreds of early English ceramics were discovered. In fact, these were some of the earliest ceramics ever found on the Tombigbee...


Slave Ships and Mutiny, The Cahuita National Park Shipwreck Survey in Costa Rica (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only B. Lynn Harris. David M. VanZandt.

Tourism brochures advertise two shipwrecks in the Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica. The sites are restricted to snorkeling only and the use of SCUBA equipment is not permitted. Local guides, whose families have specialized in free diving for generations, are employed to offer snorkeling tours and are required to be used in the confines of the park. Little is currently known about the identity of these shipwrecks. Historical and archaeological investigations suggest several possible candidates...
