Revitalization movements have been a topic of particular interest to anthropologists concerned with culture contact and colonialism. As a cultural practice that is present in many historical periods, it stands to reason that revitalization was undertaken in the deep past as well. Archaeology has proven useful in exploring the aftermath of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 from a Native American perspective in the American Southwest, and recently, scholars have begun to look for potential revitalization...
Resistance, Resilience, and Blackfoot Horse Culture from the Reservation Period to the Present (2018)
Programs of forced settlement and assimilation were responsible for the loss of many aspects of traditional Blackfoot lifeways. At the same time, however, they also strengthened the identity of the Blackfoot people as they resisted absorption into Euroamerican culture. This resistance through adaptation is seen in the Blackfoot people’s continued use of and adoration for horses. While many elements of nomadic Blackfoot culture were abandoned in the late nineteenth century with the near...
Resolving Individual and Community Identities though Spirituality and Ritual: Some Insights from Burial Practices Observed at the First African Baptist Church Cemetery Sites, Philadelphia (2018)
Several non-Western/non-Christian burial practices that made unusual use of ordinary material objects were seen at two cemeteries associated with the First African Baptist Church, Philadelphia. These practices appear to have been influenced by beliefs about the afterlife and the spirit world developed from African and possibly other sources, and I have argued previously that the maintenance and possible reintroduction of these practices into the city’s African-American community are indicative...

Respecting the Past and Protecting the Future: Strategies for Implementing Digital Best Practices in Historical Archaeology Research on Military Installations (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Openness & Sensitivity: Practical Concerns in Taking Archaeological Data Online" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In Cultural Resources Management, many archaeological survey projects are undertaken through contract services provided to regional federal clients with large-scale resource evaluation needs. In the case of military properties, each installation maintains SOPs and curatorial operations to serve the needs of...

Rest in Peace: Protecting Historic Cemeteries from Natural Disasters (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In October 2018, Hurricane Michael hit the Gulf Coast of Florida. The impact from this storm was more devastating and widespread than anyone had anticipated. Not only were coastal communities severely impacted, but the reach of the storm was felt all the way into Southern Georgia. Countless historical and archaeological sites were impacted, including many historic cemeteries. Over time...
Restaurants, Businesses, and Graveyards: Mapping the "Resettlement" of Japanese Americans in Chicago, 1943-1950 (2017)
The forced dislocation of West Coast Japanese Americans to incarceration camps during WWII deeply affected community formation, leadership, and livelihoods. The dislocation had barely been carried out when the War Relocation Authority (WRA) conceived and put into action a program of controlled (re)movement east. This "resettlement" did not play out as administrators had hoped. This paper traces the resettlement of Japanese Americans in Chicago during and immediately after the war (1943-1950),...
Restoration and Archeology at San Jacinto: Dividing Legend from Fact through Dialogue (2018)
The Battle of San Jacinto resulted in the defeat of Mexico and the establishment of the Texas Republic in 1836 against overwhelming odds. The site, however, has been altered by the many commemorative contributions, landscape modifications, ground subsidence, and park operations. These have made interpretaion of this decisive battle difficult. It is only through archeology and environmental restoration projects that park interpreters are able to create historically correct vistas. The...

Resuscitating a Dying City: Instilling Pride Through Public History and Archaeology (2018)
Palatka is dying. This is not a metaphor or an over-dramatic attempt to garner pity: Census reports show that more people are moving out of the city or dying than are moving in or being born. In August of 2017 the Washington Post came down to write an obituary on the quiet river town that was once known as the Gem of the St. Johns River. Buried in the ground and in dusty books in the historic society's museum are testaments to the city's rich historic and prehistoric past, yet few if any...
Rethinking "Frontiers" from a French Colonial Perspective (2017)
A societal "frontier" is always a relational concept. What looks like a periphery, whether imagined as a line or a zone, from one vantage point may from another look like an invaded heartland. The diverse nature of French colonialism in North America suggests the complexity of frontiers it induced. I review my 1981 article, "Frontiers and Archaeology," with perspective gained across thirty-five years, to consider whether the frontier concept has any current utility for the archaeology of French...
Rethinking Colonialism: Indigenous Innovation, Colonial Inevitability and the Struggle for Dignity, Past and Present (2013)
This paper argues for a rethinking of colonialism as an historical process in which overwhelming European power resulted in the extinction of indigenous peoples. Instead this suggests that a different history unfolded in which indigenous peoples demonstrated great innovation and cultural perseverance in not succumbing to the inevitability inherent in the political discourse of the past two hundred years. Colonialism clearly resulted in struggles over territory, sovereignty and cultural identity,...
Rethinking Mississippian Migration and Frontier Settlement in Southwest Virginia, USA (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Seeing Migrant and Diaspora Communities Archaeologically: Beyond the Cultural Fixity/Fluidity Binary" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fifteen years of excavations at the Carter Robinson mound site in southwestern Virginia, USA, have documented a case of immigration, settlement, and transformation at the extreme edge of the Mississippian world. Recovered cultural material suggests residents were nonlocal Mississippians...
