Dendrochronology has a returned a felling date of 1718/1719 for parts of the Lane House, 304 E. Queen St, Edenton, North Carolina.  This makes the hall and parlor frame house the oldest standing structure in North Carolina.  At the time it was built it would have been one of only 20 houses on Queen Anne’s Creek.  It did not become Edenton until 1722, when it also became the first colonial capital of North Carolina.  Local historians feel that the Lane House does not sit on its original...

This paper presents the results of the investigation of the pollen inclusions from the beeswax cargo of the Manila galleon San Felipe wreck site of 1576. Though pollen has not previously been sucessfully extracted from rendered wax, through the application of a careful sampling process, paleoethnobotanical analysis has not only proved possible, but has yielded sufficiently well-preserved pollen to provide potential information concerning the environments where the wax was collected or rendered,...

Investigation into the lifeways of freedman George White suggest a successful businessman with the means to purchase and keep approximately 300 acres, to purchase and emancipate his family, and to build a safe community for his family and other freed slaves in eastern Kentucky.  However, documentary research revealed only small fragments about the female members of his family. The women are, for the most part, invisible.  This paper uses intersectionality as a theoretical lens to explore the...

This is an abstract from the "The Transformation of Historical Archaeology: Papers in Honor of Charles E Orser, Jr" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. History and economics have dominated the events of the Great Famine that took place in Ireland mid-nineteenth century. Archaeology in recent years had been able to shed new light on the daily lives of Irish tenant farmers during this time. The archaeology has revealed that these farmers were not...

This study examined the prevalence, degree and effect of lead poisoning amongst people fromNewcastle-upon-Tyne(1711-1857). Tooth enamel samples of fifty individuals were analyzed using ICP-MS. Possible osteological expressions of lead exposure were recorded: reduced stature, dental caries, Harris lines, anemia, vitamin D deficiency and vitamin C deficiency. 96% of people had clinically defined lead poisoning as non-adults. Statistically significant relationships were found between severe lead...

The mid-to-late-19th century marked a time of enormous material and social changearound the world. Newly available lands and a more fluid social structure made life in the American West, and Texas, especially desirable for immigrants from Europe. Immigrants from the French-German border region of Alsace sought and found opportunity in what would become Castroville, Texas. The Birys, a family within the community, sought opportunity like many new immigrants and faced many of the same challenges....

A Swedish researcher wrote in 2014 that a group of artifacts found on Vasa belonged to the ship's barber. These artifacts included, a whisk, wooden ladles, a wooden mortar and pestle, a grater, a beer tap, a pewter flask, and a stoneware jar.  The barber surgeon is perhaps the most important crew member a ship can have.  A ship's barber surgeon was responsible for the treatment of diseases and injuries while the vessel is at sea, at times having to act as surgeon, physician, and apothecary,...

This is an abstract from the "Putting Archaeology to Work: Expanding Climate and Environmental Studies with the Archaeological Record" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations at Fort Pulaski’s Workers’ Village have uncovered evidence of how the fort’s builders adapted to their barrier island environment and coped with hurricanes. Past fort personnel had their own version of the National Park Service’s Resist-Accept-Direct Framework: resisting...

This is an abstract from the "Novel Statistical Techniques in Archaeology II (QUANTARCH II)" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In regional investigations of settlement location the analyst typically assumes that appropriate variables have been identified—important variables have not been omitted and irrelevant ones have not been included—an assumption not always justified. The identification of a "minimum set" of location requirements is more...

A pilot study was conducted to test the feasibility of applying strontium isotope analysis to source the origins of archaeological "canoe trees" tested to make pre-contact dugout canoes spanning some 5000 years. Many canoes collected decades ago from Florida’s lakes produced unexpected signatures. These results raised further questions about the methods' feasibility and the impact of past preservation approaches to the curation of waterlogged wooden artifacts. The anatomical nature of wood...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There is a great need to develop better methods to identify and quantify warfare when it occurs without accompanying written documentation, and to consider alternative explanations of data. This study tests if late-prehistoric Caddo communities in southwest Arkansas were committing large-scale acts of violence against neighboring regions. Concurrent...
