This is an abstract from the session entitled "Considering Frontiers Beyond the Romantic: Spaces of Encroachment, Innovation, and Far Reaching Entanglements" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Until their settlement was burned by the Illinois militia in 1832, Native people—mostly Ho-Chunks—made their homes in a village along the Rock River in Northern Illinois. This settlement’s inhabitants were well aware of the threats posed by settler colonial...

Marley Brown's investment in and foresight toward environmental and garden archaeology during his tenure at Colonial Williamsburg has created a community of scholarship and professional archaeologists that has adopted these research domains in a more scientific, critical, and publicly-engaged way than before.  Garden and environmental arcaheology are frequently topics of interest to historical archaeologists but have a checkered record of application.  This paper examines how lessons learned,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. An exploratory look at Helmet shell use during the Woodland period and Busycon columella "wind jewels" in the Mississippian period. The investigation is informed by Mesoamerican shell symbolism.

The merchant family of Henderson and Gaines was the most prolific importer of ceramics in antebellum New Orleans, Louisiana.  Or, at least, the most archaeologically represented. The company of Henderson and Gaines enjoyed a lengthy lifespan, importing ceramics directly from Liverpool, England, and elsewhere into New Orleans between 1836 and 1866.  Their predecessors, however, first opened their doors to the trade in the early 1820s while their successors remained in business until the late...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "From Maryland’s Ancient [Seat] and Chief of Government: Papers in Honor of Henry M. Miller" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Honoring Henry Miller With The Harrington Medal Serves As An Act of Recognition Not Only For Henry But Also For The Rich And Complex Historical Archaeology of the Maryland Tidewater. Henry Has Influenced My Own Career In Countless Ways But I Will Concentrate On A Powerful Metaphoric...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "From Maryland’s Ancient [Seat] and Chief of Government: Papers in Honor of Henry M. Miller" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since Henry Miller enrolled in his first field school, he has surmounted challenge after challenge. One of these was becoming an architectural historian. In 1981-84, the Historic St. Mary’s City staff uncovered a 20 by 30-foot post-in-the-ground structure near the center of the...

In January 1811, U.S. Navy schooner Revenge, under the command of then-Lt. Oliver Hazzard Perry, encountered thick fog and heavy swells off of Rhode Island and struck a reef. In an unsuccessful attempt to free the sinking ship, Perry jettisoned the masts, anchor, and eight of the vessel’s 14 guns. Two centuries later the wreck was believed to be rediscovered by local divers, and since 2012 Naval History and Heritage Command’s Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) has conducted sonar and...

It seems obvious to say that an industrial heritage site should have strong ties to all of its communities, past and present alike, but how can each best be represented and included in all aspects of site planning and interpretation? The village of Catoctin Furnace enjoys a strong level of community support; current residents actively participate in a wide variety of archaeological and living history events. The planned museum, however, with its added emphasis on past worker communities,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Reckoning with Violence" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In this paper, I argue for heritage as liberation. I openly claim that some forms of heritage practice are inherently more meaningful and effective than others. Such practices include what I call substantive and coalitional archaeologies. I argue that although the Critical Heritage Studies Movement—to which many historical archaeologists...

The force behind public outreach and archaeological education has been individuals within agencies, those who’ve formed committees, and those who have dedicated their professional careers ensuring that we communicate beyond ourselves. However, after 30 years, this "profession" still basically exists at the whim of professional organizations and volunteer committees, and through dedicated individuals. In 2015, at the Archaeological Institute of America sponsored Educators’ Conference in New...

This is an abstract from the "Activating Heritage: Encouraging Substantive Practices for a Just Future" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Rather than argue that heritage does things, this paper explores what might happen when archaeologists (to borrow a phrase from J L Austin) “do things with heritage.” Specifically, I use the points raised by Patricia Hill Collins in her weaving together of pragmatics and intersectionality to frame a discussion of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Following the end of the Civil War, plantation landscapes in the South Carolina Lowcountry underwent dramatic changes that broke up massive, generational landholdings and upended centuries of exploitative economic systems. Moonshining provided a means for some former plantation owners to maintain possession of core properties, while providing a narrative...

This is an abstract from the "Politics of Heritage Values: How Archaeologists Deal with Place, Social Memories, Identities, and Socioeconomics" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Noquisiyi or Nikwasi Mound, a monumental earthen platform mound located in the town of Franklin, North Carolina, was first constructed during the Mississippian period (AD 1000–1600) and marks the location of an important Cherokee mother town. In this paper I consider the...

Along Florida’s 8,000 miles of shoreline, nearly 4,000 archaeological sites and over 600 recorded historic cemeteries are at risk from coastal erosion and rising sea levels. The matter remains complex in Florida where despite the 20 percent higher rate of sea level rise compared to the global average, "climate change" remains politically taboo. This paper will outline ongoing efforts to engage the public in monitoring coastal sites, the creation of the Heritage Monitoring Scout (HMS Florida)...

Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS) Florida, a program created by the Florida Public Archaeology Network, is designed to teach the science of climate change and pragmatic problems it poses for cultural resources. Beyond just learning about climate change science, projections, and increasing impact we can expect to see over the next 50-100 years, HMS Florida is specifically designed to give individuals a way to make a difference. Responding to threats posed by climate change, weather, and other...

Coastal archaeological sites in Florida are being impacted at high rates by storm surge from hurricanes and sea level rise.  In 2015, the Florida Public Archaeology Network began beta testing an outreach program to engage the public through monitoring Florida’s coastal archaeological sites, which has now been activated throughout Florida.  Modeled after SCAPE’s Scotland Coastal Heritage at Risk Program (SCHARP) program, the goal of HMS Florida is to empower the public to observe and document...

This is an abstract from the "Case Studies from SHA’s Heritage at Risk Committee" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) partnered with the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) to create a submerged cultural resource monitoring program based on the successful Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS) Florida, launched by FPAN in 2016. Many organizations have ongoing natural resource monitoring programs that...

In the late nineteenth century immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe came to the anthracite coal region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Many of the newcomers were underpaid, underfed, and lived in substandard housing. The coal industry thrived until the end of WWI and it is virtually non-existent today. The region’s memory of the coal industry focuses on the hard work and sacrifice of the newcomers, and how they survived and made a successful life for themselves and for their offspring....
