Potomac Portage: Great Falls National Park and the Potomac Divide (2016)
Dr. Stephen Potter has a long-standing interest in Great Falls Park, a unit of the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP), in Virginia. The park is located in the Potomac Gorge, a rocky area where rapids divide the upper and lower Potomac River valley. Breathtaking in its beauty, Great Falls was also an important feature of the Native American and Colonial era landscapes. The falls were able to be crossed, but not without difficulty and danger. Native American petroglyphs are concentrated in...

Pots and Creole Politics: Preliminary Analysis of an Urban, Late-Nineteenth Century Kiln Site in New Orleans (2018)
In winter of 2008-09, scheduled demolition of Lafitte Housing Project in New Orleans prompted Section 106 Archaeological Data Recovery, conducted by Earth Search, Inc. During excavations, the presence of of kiln furniture, hand-manipulated clay, and fragments of irregular vessels at City Square 281 (16OR308) suggested that it was a late-nineteenth century kiln site. Research confirms that Lucien Gex, son of a French-born artist, advertised crockery there at 273 Carondelet Walk in 1891; in 1885...
Pots and People in Motion in Woodland Period Florida (2018)
Populations across northern Florida during the first millennium CE were highly interconnected as evidenced by shared patterns of mortuary practices, material culture, and settlement patterns. Social networks evidently were predicated on common ritual practices that found purchase in diverse and far-flung communities, especially those associated with "Swift Creek" and "Weeden Island" archaeological cultures. Through time, and with an expanding suite of religious practices and paraphernalia,...
Pots with Purpose: Examining Mortuary Craft Specialization on the Late Woodland Gulf Coast (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Cross-Cultural Petrographic Studies of Ceramic Traditions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Extant models of craft specialization often assume that craft production served to instantiate or reify existing social relationships. By this line of reasoning, pots must have played only a passive role at communal gatherings and mortuary rituals. If pots were merely the accoutrements of specialists, the symbols of lineages, or...
Potter Politicians (2018)
The early years of the 19th century were a time of change and innovation for United States potters. Some tried to continue their earlier methods of making and selling pottery, with varying degrees of success, while others expanded their workshops into factories or developed new ways of forming and decorating pots. In New York City, some members of the Crolius and Remmey potting families went into politics while they continued to manufacture salt glazed stoneware vessels. Clarkson Crolius became...
The potters of Charlestown (Boston), MA, their wares, and their archaeological contributions (2016)
A systematic re-processing of the ceramic assemblages recovered from the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston during the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (Big Dig) is revealing new insights and research avenues into this prominent 18th-century earthenware production center. This paper will review the history of the dozens of potters participating in Charlestown’s potting industry in the 17th and 18th centuries and provide a preliminary typology and dating guide to Charlestown wares and decorations. ...
Pottery and Identity: Elites in Puerto Rico (2013)
Late nineteenth century Puerto Rico was a Spanish colony whose economy depended on export crops like sugar and coffee. The elite were often Spaniards and ties to Spain were close because this helped the elite to maintain their control over the labor force. They imitated Spanish elite cultural behavior such as the promotion of thermal baths for improving health. This paper explores the social and economic context for an elite domestic assemblage from a large landowner household that established...

Poule Au Pot: Animal Remains from French Colonial Sites in the Old Village of St. Louis (2018)
Since 2013, Missouri Department of Transportation archaeologists have investigated grounds under and around the highway ramps leading to the Poplar Street Bridge in downtown St. Louis, an area that was part of the original village of St. Louis that was platted in 1764. Excavations have revealed the remains of several eighteenth-century poteaux-en-terre structures, cellars, and pit features that were associated with six French colonial properties. Zooarchaeological analyses of these parcels...
Poverty Point's Plaza as Monumental Earthwork (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. Research at Cahokia, Raffman, and other sites has shown the folly of assuming that plazas are unaltered because they are level and dwarfed by the topography of surrounding earthworks. Their unassuming topography can conceal evidence of significant anthropogenic alterations, past activities, and buried...
Power and the Production of an American Landscape (2017)
Race, class, and gender have intersected throughout our nation's history. These systems of power shape the strategies and tactics available to people positioned differentially throughout society. This paper will use evidence from archaeological and landscape analyses in order to identify the ways in which these systems of power influenced the 19th century practices that produced the 20th century landscape of Orange County, Virginia.
Power in Numbers: Reconstructing Provenience Through an Investigation of 283,000 Beads (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Beyond Ornamentation: New Approaches to Adornment and Colonialism" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Schumacher Collection, which was excavated in 1877 from Santa Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles, contains approximately 283,000 shell and glass beads that lack provenience data. While beads are often examined through a framework of personal adornment and identity construction, antiquated...
The Power of Performance: Activism, Public Archaeology, and Heritage Landscapes at the Portland Wharf (2016)
The development of an activist archaeology has led to an examination of how archaeologists can collaborate with and benefit communities. The notion that the products of archaeological research are relatively weak tools for achieving activist goals has led some archaeologists to emphasize the performance of archaeology as a more effective way to engage communities. In this paper I will examine the performance of archaeology as a way to create heritage landscapes and achieve activist goals. I will...
The Power of Public Archeology and Prehistoric Technology (2016)
Public archeology and prehistoric technology demonstrations are powerful. These tools serve to connect visitors to archeological sites and artifacts and create the next generation of stewards. In this presentation, I’ll explore how these methods have been used to create meaningful connections between visitors and cultural parks.

Powering a Generation: Analyzing Early 20th Century Coal Use at Clemson Agricultural College (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

While the primary goal was to locate the remains of a series of antebellum outbuildings related to the John Calhoun and Thomas Clemson occupations of the property, a large coal deposit, dating from 1880s – 1910s, was found covering the site....
