Historic Sites and Possible Worlds: Narrative-Building at Two Sites of African American History (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia G Markert.

Kate Gregory and Andrea Witcomb refer to the narratives of place and history that are created when people visit heritage sites as "possible worlds" – the mental and physical spaces where history is then grappled with, conceptualized, and understood.  This paper considers two sites of African American history where archaeology has been conducted over the past five years, Timbuctoo, NJ and the Sellman Tenant House at SERC in Edgewater, MD, and explores the way narratives around these historic...

Historical Archaeology as Ghost Hunting (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only April Beisaw.

Archaeological sites can be haunted by past peoples if we convey the stories necessary to presence them; no paranormal powers required. The magic of a ghost story lies in its ability to conjure the emotions of the listener. Many ghost stories are warnings of things that happened, and might happen again. Telling the tale provides listeners with worse-case scenarios and vague instructions on how to avoid a similar fate. Historic sites that contain standing ruins are ripe for such tales because...

Historical Archaeology in Transportation Projects in Arizona (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sara C. Ferland.

Transportation projects come with a unique set of challenges; including the limitation of fieldwork to the right-of-way, the potential for a project to bisect entire landscapes, and sometimes the fact that the road itself is a resource. This paper will provide an overview of the types of historical resources and issues that are encountered during transportation-related projects in Arizona, and examples of how we address them.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Seth Mallios.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "On the Centennial of his Passing: San Diego County Pioneer Nathan "Nate" Harrison and the Historical Archaeology of Legend" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Ironically, even though contradictory details of his pre-Palomar Mountain life were hotly debated, the narratives were in agreement when...


Historical Archaeology of the Marsh Sugar Plantation, Avery Island, Louisiana (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only David T. Palmer.

The Marsh Plantation was a sugar plantation on Avery Island, Louisiana, established in 1818 by northeastern transplants John Marsh and William Stone. Enslaved and "indentured" African Americans were brought from New York and New Jersey by the partners to work the sugar fields and mill.

Issues of heritage tourism, namely, the elision of slavery and the...

Historical Archaeology: A Half Century Critique (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Schuyler.

This is an abstract from the "Reflections, Practice, and Ethics in Historical Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Historical Archaeology had a slow and difficult birth across three decades. Even as late as 1967, the foundation year for the SHA, many archaeologists dismissed the field and opposed its establishment. The basic critique was "why excavate if you are dealing with documented history?" Fifty years later Historical Archaeology is...

Historical Infrastructure: Recording and Evaluating the Signficance of Linear Sites (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sara C. Ferland.

Railroads, roads, canals, and utility lines are becoming an increasingly common type of historical site in Arizona.  Such components of historical infrastructure are important because of their role in the settlement and development of the state. However, project-based archaeological survey often results in these sites being recorded in piecemeal fashion, and their significance evaluated by segments within a given project area rather than the resource as a whole. This session will focus on...
