Clay Resource Variability and Stallings Pottery Provenance along the Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers (2018)
An understanding of the raw materials available to ancient potters is essential to archaeological considerations of vessel production and provenance. Consequently, the collection and analysis of raw clay samples has become a common component of such studies. This poster presents the results of compositional analyses of clays from along the Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers in Georgia and South Carolina via petrographic point-counting and neutron activation analysis (NAA). These analyses were...
Cleaning Submerged Artillery: Tools and Methods Used to Conserve Cannon from Blackbeard’s Flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge (1718) (2017)
The conservation cleaning of concreted marine-archaeological cannon is a complex and multidimensional problem. At present, archaeologists have uncovered 30 cannon amongst the shipwreck remains of Blackbeard’s flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge (QAR). Currently, the QAR Conservation Laboratory holds 18 of these cannon in various stages of conservation. This places the QAR Lab in a unique position to develop practical treatment solutions for such a large collection of submerged artillery. Various...

Cleaning Up Claiborne: Revising the Radiocarbon Dates of Six Decades of Research Using Chronometric Hygiene (2024)
This is an abstract from the "*SE Not Your Father’s Poverty Point: Rewriting Old Narratives through New Research" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Claiborne site, located in Hancock County, Mississippi, has been dated using many different techniques since discovery in 1967. In order to create a tighter chronology and firmly place it into the timeline of the Poverty Point culture, chronometric hygiene protocols were used to dismiss dates that are...
"The Clear Grit of the Old District": Fire Company-Related Artifacts from Fishtown, Philadelphia (2016)

With the creation of the paid Philadelphia Fire Department in 1871, the era of the volunteer companies passed...
