Created shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Camp Howze located in Gainesville, Texas served not only as a training base for American infantry and artillerymen, but also as one of the many detention centers within the United States for German prisoners of war. The base was quickly built and swiftly dismantled when the Army had no more need for the camp, although some of the buildings still stand today. Archaeological investigations of the site are focusing on defining the layout of extant...

During the 1860s, Alkali Station, Nebraska served a brief but colorful role as a Pony Express Station, a post office, a stage station, and a military post during the westward expansion of the United States. With the coming of the railroads, Alkali Station, like so many other frontier outposts, became obsolete, and it was abandoned. Its structures fell into ruin, and soon assorted depressions and rises were all that remained. At ground level, spatial patterning of the site’s visible features is...

The University of New Mexico, in partnership with the National Park Service, is currently conducting research on the first trading post in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.  Documentary research and test excavations indicate the Wetherill Homestead and Trading Post operated from the mid-1890s to the early 1900s.  The site functioned as a center for archaeological research, residence, ranching, and trade.  These findings have archaeological and historical implications related to late nineteenth and early...

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Wetlands" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Most prominent Woodland period ceremonial centers along the Gulf Coast are located near wetlands, which provided access to a wide variety of resources for the hunter-fisher-gatherer populations who built them. Researchers investigating these sites often suggest that these rich environments created the conditions for increasingly settled lifeways, complex...

Four years ago the Urban Archaeology Corps was created through a partnership between the National Park Service Archaeology Program, National Capital Parks-East, and Groundwork Anacostia/DC. This summer youth employment program broke from NPS tradition, by employing youth to conduct archaeological excavations, historical research, and other cultural resources work, while emphasizing and valuing "youth voice" in the development of the program’s structure and the products the participants create....

While conducting archaeological investigations for a construction project in downtown San Francisco, William Self Associates, Inc. encountered the remains of an early 19th century whaling ship buried 15 feet below the modern surface. This paper will present the story of the whaler Candace, a Boston-built barque that ended her days in the mudflats of San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Cove, the determined historical and archaeological research that led to her identification, and the unique insight into...

Pelagic whaling ships of the early to mid-nineteenth were workplaces which incorporated complex industrial processes that resulted from wider social, cultural and technological changes. Unlike vessels employed in other seaborne trades, whaleships were self-contained and fully integrated industrial platforms that incorporated both the equipment necessary to carry out whaling operations and the domestic spaces that became a meager home for officers and crews for up to five years. The unique nature...

 After the Revolutionary War, the former British American colonies began the long process of cultural separation from the metropole in England.   This process affected many aspects of life, including the redefinition of gender relations.  Here, I use the changes in the acquisition, appropriation, and consumption of dishes, their contexts of use, and the styles of the dishes themselves to look at this post-colonial process.

Since 2010, the Cape Fear River has changed in unexpected ways, revealing a number of colonial-era wharves along the waterfront of Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site, near Wilmington, North Carolina. As a result, various groups have carried out research to determine the best course of action for this at-risk area. One particular study, a Master’s thesis, developed a research design for the waterfront.  While options for site location and excavation were discussed, this work focused...

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL) have collaborated to determine the immediate and long-term impacts of an oil spill on cultural resources and archaeological sites in the coastal zone. Nearly five years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the immediate and long-term impacts of oil and dispersants on cultural resources and archaeological sites remain unknown. Concerns include effects that might diminish or destroy the site’s future...

Archaeological analysis of mid-19th century pipe stem assemblages aids in interpretation of the chronology of an archaeological site as well as providing insight about the local economy and past life styles.  Various Henderson and Glasgow pipe fragments have been excavated from the privy at the Peter Dougherty site, a mid-19th century house where Reverend Peter Dougherty and his family resided from 1842-1852 with the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians of Old Mission Peninsula, located in northern lower...

 Through human history, the deceased have been buried, their bodies or representations placed in a space, most near their familial ties. Graves are not only places of rest but places to revisit the past and sanctuaries of still powerful affections. Why, in a 19th century Northern Georgia church gravesite do family plots of the same name scatter throughout different locations on the site, even within the same time periods? Why were the boundaries of the family plots physically set yet the...

This is an abstract from the ""What Catalog System Do You Use?" Confronting the Philosophies that Prevent Standardization and Consensus in Archaeological Catalogs" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. One of the questions that comes up frequently in sessions, roundtables, and workshops sponsored by the SHA Curation and Collections Committee is, "What catalog system do you use?" The resulting conversations typically cover dissatisfaction with different...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper moves away from the typical idea of “war” as a physical armed conflict or confrontation, but rather any physical manner or manifestation of modern-day conflict. I propose that the playing out of a racialized environmental-based conflict between the all-black town of Allensworth,...

The Baja California Manila Galleon shipwreck site location was established from analysis of onshore artifact distribution.  Increasing attempts have been made to investigate the offshore source of this material by utilizing magnetometry and the excavation of detected anomalies.  The magnetometer surveys went well and buried iron associated with the wreck site were buoyed and mapped.  However, investigation of the buried anomalies proved to be more difficult than anticipated, as they were found...

This paper provides some reflections on the archaeological program carried out at The Hermitage over a seven year period, from 1990 to 1996.  Under the direction of Larry McKee, the program became a training ground for archaeology students across the country and beyond, many of whom are now accomplished professionals.  It also was a unique setting in which to engage the visiting public in discussions about archaeology and the community that was enslaved on the plantation, a community whose...

The Hill neighborhood in Easton, Maryland, is a place where people have come together over the past 200 years to fight slavery, racism, economic marginalization, and gender inequity.  These efforts are reflected in the archaeological record.  However, the legacy of earlier generations is threatened by decades of disinvestment and a tide of gentrification.  The Hill Community Project therefore aims to use research, public interpretation, and preservation to revitalize the built and social fabric...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Perspectives from the Study of Early Colonial Encounter in North America: Is it time for a “revolution” in the study of colonialism?" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Research into the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) has long played a pivotal role in Canadian national history. The HBC, a long-lasting commercial institution, was first established in the 1670s. Its earliest trading posts were placed along waterways...
