US Army Research Laboratory, Privatization of Utilities on the Adelphi Laboratory Center, Adelphi, Maryland, Environmental Assessment (2000)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Kevin M. Mason. Kenneth O. Logan.

Department of Defense (DoD) policy, as outlined in Defense Reform Initiative Directive #49, mandates the privatization of Government-owned utility systems in situations where the transfer of the utility systems to private, cooperative, municipal, or regional utility systems may be proven cost effective without jeopardizing the reliability of service or the security of the mission. Privatization of utility systems can be economically justified under DoD regulations if the overall privatization...

US Route 301 Predictive Modeling (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Lenert. Brooke Blades.

Survey along the US Route 301 corridor was guided by a 2006 predictive model. The effort was informed by previous modeling efforts in Delaware and by earlier models primarily prehistoric in focus.The historic component identified margins adjacent to older roadways as having at least medium potential for sites and isolated house locations shown on nineteenth-century maps as high potential locations. Sites dating to the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were at times encountered in medium...


Usable Aid: Refugee Resettlement in Post-Partition Delhi (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin P Riggs.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Previous archaeologies of socialism and the welfare state demonstrate how spaces designed by centralized authorities are often incongruent with the needs of individuals. This paper considers 1947 Partition refugee resettlement in Delhi as a contrasting example, one that exemplifies the potential effectiveness of government investment in public housing. Delhi’s colonies are unique...


USACE Tulsa District Wister Lake Site Preservation Project (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Caitlin Baker.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1975, 41 sites surrounding the USACE Wister Lake, located in Latimer and LeFlore counties in Oklahoma, were designated as part of a National Register Historic District. Unfortunately, due to extreme local looting and fluvial action, less than 21 of these sites are still present today. USACE Tulsa District is beginning a site preservation project...


USCS Paddle Steamer Robert J. Walker, 1847-1860: Historical and Archaeological Research, Diver and Fisher Knowledge, and the Remote Sensing Search. (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joyce H. Steinmetz.

An East Carolina University graduate PhD researcher utilized historical research methods to narrow down the Robert J. Walker’s general location and its key archaeological features for site identification. Interviews with key local wreck divers and commercial bottom fishermen provided local environmental knowledge of unidentified wrecks and fishing gear snags within the general search area. This information was essential input to the remote sensing search planned and executed on the NOAA...

Use Of Electronic Diver Positioning In A Challenging Marine Archaeological Environment (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew D. W. Lydecker.

An important consideration in the excavation of an archaeological site is spatial control. Establishing provenience is particularly challenging in a harsh environment such as the Savannah River, where black water, high current, limited dive windows, safety constraints, and limited budgets do not allow traditional archaeological methods to achieve success in a project with the scope of the excavation and recovery of the CSS Georgia. The nature of the Savannah River environment dictates a more...

The Use of Place to Find a Person: A Hybrid Microhistory of Salubria Plantation, Prince George’s County, Maryland (18PR692) (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Bill Auchter.

An examination of an antebellum plantation in Prince George’s County, Maryland can be a case study into how to see a subaltern group (slaves) living within a dominant culture. To do this, three entities will be examined: a place, a slaveholder, and a slave. How are these three elements related and interdependent upon each other as a means to understand the elements individually and as a social group? All three elements occupied the same time and space but would often be described as three...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kandace Hollenbach. Jillian Galle.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. From 1804 until 1865, The Hermitage was home to Andrew Jackson, his descendants, and over 130 enslaved men, women, and children, often invisible in the historical record, who labored in the fields of Jackson's cotton plantation near Nashville, Tennessee. After emancipation, freed households continued to live in the former domestic quarters. For three decades...


The Use of X-Ray Fluorescence to Determine the Composition of American Glassware Artifacts: Analytical Methods and Chronological Insights (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Grace L. Gronniger.

The compositional analysis of American glass has untapped potential to shed light on the chronologies of historical archaeological deposits. This is due to a 1864 patent, which introduced the use of soda-lime glass to U.S. pressed glass manufacturers. By 1880, soda-lime glass displaced lead glass in this industry. Therefore, pressed glass tableware produced before 1864 contains lead, whereas pressed glass tableware produced after ca. 1879 largely lacks lead. This study demonstrates the use of...

Use-Wear Analysis on Shell Artifacts (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Nisch.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Shells feature prominently in prehistoric archaeological assemblages in the southeastern United States. However, serrated freshwater mussel shells, of the type found at a Late Woodland site in North Carolina and other area sites, have not been studied and their use been unknown. These freshwater mussel shells were given a serrated edge, with evenly spaced...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Grace Bello.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "New Research on the “Old Colony”: Recent Approaches to Plymouth Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the 16th and 17th centuries there was a revolution in glass production in England as both people and ideas dispersed through Europe due to political and religious unrest.
