Circle Line V, previously known as Celt, USS Phenakite, USS Sachem, and Sightseer, and colloquially known as the "Kentucky Ghost Ship", is a grounded vessel off the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky that has become a popular attraction with kayakers and hikers. In addition to its striking appearance, the site is popular due to its reported history. Designed as a private yacht, it subsequently served in both World Wars, as a research vessel for Thomas Edison, and even as the backdrop in a Madonna...
"Kept on the Run": Urban Erasures in Essex County, NJ (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Urban Erasures and Contested Memorial Assemblages" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Essex County in northern New Jersey experienced dramatic urban development and change in the second half the 20th century. Essex is home to Newark, New Jersey’s largest city, as well as 21 other municipalities that range from poor and densely packed cities to affluent and amenity-rich suburbs. This paper examines how urban spaces are...

Kids in the Trenches: Women as Mothers and Professionals in Archaeology (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Women’s Work: Archaeology and Mothering" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In many STEM and academic settings being a woman with children can be seen as a liability to her progress in her field. While men are praised for being academics and fathers, mothers are routinely penalized in terms of their pay, ability to participate in professional conferences, advancement in the field, and publication rates. We...

King Philip's War: America's Forgotten War (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The historiography of King Philip’s War, (1675-1676), was, like most history, written largely from the viewpoint of the victors; in this case, the New England Confederation of English colonists. Primary sources generally point to Metacom (referred to by the colonists as King Philip) as the aggressor in the conflict, and almost universally put Metacom’s forces, and even “praying Indians”...
Kiska: Alaska’s Underwater Battlefield (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In July 2018 members of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Delaware spent two weeks conducting an exploratory remote-sensing survey to locate and document WWII-era submerged archaeological sites in the waters off Kiska Island, Alaska, one of the last and most remote islands in the Aleutian chain. The often-forgotten Aleutian campaign was the sole WWII campaign...
Kitchen Space in the Wing of Offices at Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest (2018)
The Wing of Offices at Poplar Forest was excavated over the course of several years in the late 1980s and 1990s. Originally consisting of a kitchen, smokehouse, and possible laundry and storage spaces, subsequent owners of the property tore down the Wing and replaced it with two outbuildings. The re-analysis of kitchen related materials has demonstrated patterns of refuse disposal reflecting both the use of the space during Jefferson’s lifetime and the later occupation. Relationships to other...

The Knight’s Tomb (2018)
In 1901, archaeologists excavating the 1617 Jamestown church uncovered a large black ledger stone engraved with the silhouette of knight in armor. The stone held evidence for once having monumental brasses inscribed with the deceased’s identity, coat of arms, and death date, yet these have never been recovered. Now, over a century after its discovery, recent archaeological investigations and research have revealed new clues confirming the identity of this interred individual. This paper outlines...
Known Sites, Unknown States: Monitoring Acitivities on Intertidal Sites in St. Augustine (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Heritage at Risk: Shifting Responses from Reactive to Proactive" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the course of the last decade, the St. Augustine Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program and its preceeding organization have documented a number of intertidal and coastal sites in addition to the shipwrecks off St. Augutine. Wtih the increased changes to climate and sea level rise also arose an interest...

La Belle: Lessons Learned and Applied in Order to Restructure the Use of Watercraft Data (2017)
Although the archaeological team excavating La Belle performed an extraordinary job at timber recording, all 1:1 drawings were traced by hand on Mylar and then digitized into AutoCAD. That data was later assembled into lines drawings, profile and plan-view scale drawings. In advance of freeze-drying individual components of La Belle, there was an immediate need for precision measurements from drawings that were already two generations removed from the original source. The pain-staking process...
La Belle: The Archaeology of a Seventeenth-Century Ship of New World Colonization (2016)
La Belle was a ship used by the seventeenth-century French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle in his effort to establish a French colony along the northern Gulf of Mexico. Ultimately La Belle wrecked along today’s Texas Gulf Coast in 1686. The wreck was discovered in 1995 and resulted in a multi-year year program of excavation, conservation, interpretation, reporting, and exhibition. This paper will present the results of all these phases of analysis and reporting by summarizing the...
La Concorde and Queen Anne’s Revenge: A Global Voyage Continues, 1717 to 2037 (2018)
March 1717, a slave ship, La Concorde, departs Nantes, France, for the New World via Africa. November 1717, its voyage ends off Martinique, when pirates capture it. As a pirate ship, Queen Anne’s Revenge, its voyage continues through the Caribbean, via Charleston, South Carolina, to Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina, where it runs aground in June 1718, and is discovered November 1996. Since then, much of the historical and archaeological research, and stories told, for state shipwreck site...
La Faïencerie De La Nouvelle Orleans: French Colonial Faience Production In New Orleans, Louisiana (2018)
Archaeologists invariably blame the French for all of the ceramics laying about South Louisiana colonial period sites, even those dating to the Spanish colonial period. But were the ceramics actually made in France? Could they have been manufactured locally? One Spanish period redware kiln has already been examined archaeologically in St. James Parish. Indeed, not only did potiers, or makers of redware, work in the French colony of La Louisiane, so too did faïenciers. This paper presents...
Labor Heritage at the Homestead Waterfront (2016)
This paper explores the memory of the Battle of Homestead at the Waterfront shopping center and other related sites throughout Pittsburgh. Through interviews, site visits, and guided tours, I compare the approaches to this memory by various involved groups, such as developers, artists and community organizations. My analysis employs an archaeology of supermodernity to consider the authorized heritage discourse surrounding the Battle of Homestead as it relates to sites of labor struggle in the...
Labor Relations and Landscape: Slave Built Agricultural Retaining Walls on the Quill, St. Eustatius. (2015)
In 1732, at the height of the slave trade on St. Eustatius in the Caribbean, the Dutch shipped more than 2,700 people from Africa, making the island integral to the Second West India Trading Company’s influence in the Caribbean. This site consists of a series of 10 dry built stonewalls that run down a large valley on the side of the Quill (602m in height) which is a dormant volcano located within a National Park of the same name. The walls were built either to assist in the minimization of...
