Using original Arabic documents, this research explores the spirituality, literacy and religious tolerance of enslaved African Muslims...
The Spiro Panoply: An Examination, Structural Analysis, and Hypothetical Re-creation of Middle Mississippian Defensive Equipment and Weapon Systems (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. With the recognition that violence, warfare, and trophy display within the North American Southeast was endemic during the Mississippian Cultural Period, an in-depth analysis of the equipment used by warring groups is now necessary. By examining the “Conquering Warrior” and associated human effigy pipes from the Great Mortuary at Spiro Mounds and...
"A Splendid Location": Land Use On An Urban Block in Mobile, Alabama (2018)
An archaeological and historical study of upper- and middle-class households in Mobile, Alabama provided an opportunity to examine how certain forms of material culture and the built environment served to demarcate social, racial, and economic differences in this city and how these compared with other cities. The block under consideration and its neighborhood were generally homogenous, with residents being the families of professionals. Notably, most of the properties were rentals; land use,...

Split Lips and Broken Bottoms: Analysis of Glass Fragments from an Urban Context (2018)
This paper examines the results of the chronological analysis of glass tops and bases from several sites along Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri. Bottle fragments from both intact and disturbed contexts are used to help provide chronological context to these urban site locations. Further comparison with diagnostic materials from the undisturbed levels, along with possible functional categories of the bottle fragments, will also be discussed relative to possible site functions.
"Spoiled Submerged Sites" or "Just Another C-Filter"? Accounting for Recent Human Impact in the Archaeological Analysis of BISC-2 (2013)
BISC-2 represents a type of site that is all too familiar to maritime archaeologists: one subject to extensive recent post-deposition disturbance as a result of different forms of destructive human intervention. Too often such sites are dismissed as too "spoiled" to provide reliable insight into the past. We suggest that while regrettable, such recent interventions should not lead us to dismiss such sites as archaeologically irrelevant. Instead they should be addressed through archaeological...
The Sporting Life: Archaeological Evidence of Pensacola’s Red Light District Customers (2015)
Archaeological studies have been conducted upon red light districts across the United States. While these studies have yielded great insight into the lives of prostitutes, relatively little has been recovered from their customers. Three collections from excavations conducted in 1975 and 2000 upon Pensacola, Florida’s red light district have also been studied, with a surprising number of artifacts associated with customers identified. This paper will provide an in-depth analysis of red light...

This is an abstract from the "Shipwrecks and the Public: Getting People Engaged with their Maritime History" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Steamboats and other watercraft were largely responsible for the rapid spread of cholera throughout North America in 1832 via inland waterways. The recent archaeological excavation of Phoenix II in Lake Champlain led to the rediscovery of the steamer’s role in this tragic historic event, and prompted further...

The home also appeared to function as a local trading post and fort, providing goods and protection during raids. This site provides a rare look at life...
The SS James Eagan Layne; The Liberty 70 Project, a Catalyst for Conversation in Submerged Cultural Heritage (2015)
The wreck of the SS James Eagan Layne (JEL) has been a diving site since 1954, due to her masts still visible above the water. She is known to be the most dived wreck in the UK and was subject to early salvaging from divers who thought it fair game. Which is a frame of thinking in British diving culture then and today. Plymouth, the location of the JEL is the birthplace of South West diving at Fort Bovisand, and as such the SHIPS Project, a non-governmental organization started the Liberty 70...
SSEAS of Change: Sport Divers, Heritage Monitoring, and the Future of Submerged Resources Management (2018)
The growth and sustained popularity of scuba diving has resulted in increased visitation to historic shipwrecks and other submerged heritage sites.

THE ST. DAVID’S ISLAND PROJECT: ETHNOGENESIS IN REAL TIME (2015)
Conversations about history have a way of shaping historical narrative, often unintentionally and usually in unexpected ways. Similarly, identity is an ongoing enterprise where individuals adapt, adopt, discard, and change in relation to the vagaries of a remembered past and to realities in the present. This paper focuses on Bermuda’s St. David’s Islanders, and examines how this geographically isolated and culturally distinct community (re)created an American Indian identity more than three...

St. Patrick’s Day and Sugar Plantations: Articulating Landscape Archaeology with Conceptions of Montserrat’s Historical Narratives and Cultural Geography (2013)
Montserrat’s nickname, "the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean", points to the island’s 17th-century Irish connection, sustained today by the annual national commemoration of a failed St. Patrick’s Day uprising by African slaves in 1768. Rooted in this event, the Anglo-Irish narrative is foregrounded in many historical studies of Montserrat’s plantations, slavery, geography, and heritage. Despite the power of this narrative in shaping Montserratian cultural identity, the archaeological record offers...
St. Thomas / St. Anne Parish Heritage Trail: Collaboration and Partnerships In the Caribbean (2016)
In July 2013, community members in Sandy Point village on St. Kitts in the Caribbean’s Lesser Antilles, began collaborating with Brimstone Hill World Heritage Site to build a Heritage Trail along a 7.5-mile coastal route. An assessment of the project’s progress two years later reveals critical challenges and innovative solutions- between Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a non-profit company and individual community stakeholders of that island.
