This presentation will give updates on the following 18th century Zacatecan Missions:  Guadalupe, Dolores, and San Miguel.  Mission Guadalupe has not been found--some clues to its location will be discussed.  Kathleen Gilmore called Mission Dolores, "Mission Impossible," because she had difficulity locating it in the early 1970s.  James Corbin of Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) did eventually locate the site and conducted the major excavations in the mid-1970s and 1980s.  A...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Although the United States was late to enter the First World War, the waters of the nation became a battlefield from 1917 onward. Ships operating along North Carolina’s coast recurrently fell victim to the unrestricted U-boat campaign. This paper reexplores the topic of the First World War’s impact on the North Carolina coastline. Originally presented at the 2018 Society of...

Long overshadowed by and conflated with the fictional story of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the life of Josiah Henson is revisited at the location he was enslaved in suburban Maryland.  Archaeological research on the former plantation has uncovered traces of life on the farm and the 19th century landscape.  This work provides part of the framework for the design of a public museum to be built at the park, dedicated to Henson's life and slavery in Montgomery County.  This paper will discuss the ongoing...

Nearly 30,000 18th- and 19th-century artifacts were recovered during the excavation of the small African American community of Parting Ways in Plymouth, Massachusetts by James Deetz beginning in 1975. The artifacts are currently housed at the Massachusetts Historical Commission in Boston. Original interpretations attributed all the artifacts to the late 18th- and 19th-century African American occupation of the site, but subsequent research indicated that Parting Ways was occupied in the middle...

This paper analyzes a pit feature that was identified during a 1984 excavation in the basement of the African Meeting House, located in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood.  Full excavation of the feature followed in 1986; however, complete analysis of the resulting artifact collection was not possible at the time.  Predating the construction of the prominent African Meeting House, the feature is likely the privy of Augustin Raillion, a hairdresser who occupied a house at 44 Joy Street with two...

The Providence Cove Lands Archaeological District (RI 935) is located at the confluence of the Moshassuck and Woonasquatucket Rivers near the State House in Providence, Rhode Island. Between 1981-2, De Leuw, Cather/Parsons (DCP) completed archaeological and environmental surveys of the District, focused primarily on two sites—Carpenter’s Point (RI 935A) and North Shore (RI 935B). Based on DCP’s findings, the Keeper of the National Register determined that the District is eligible for listing on...

The Hermitage, a plantation owned by Andrew Jackson near Nashville, Tennessee, has been the site of archaeological investigations since the 1970s. Much of this work has focused on the large enslaved community living at the site, with the study of the remnants of their dwellings a key element of this research. Sub-floor storage pits, generally referred to as root cellars, have been found at nine Hermitage slave dwelling locations. These features are present in all three of the separate quartering...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2018, archaeologists from SEARCH and California Department of Parks and Recreation conducted an underwater remote-sensing survey in the Sacramento River, Sacramento County, California. The survey focused on relocating and assessing the condition of three vessels associated with the Sacramento gold rush: the Sterling and La Grange in downtown Sacramento and the Clarksburg Wreck...

In the early 1980s, archaeologists from De Leuw Cather/Parsons conducted a large-scale data recovery project in downtown Providence within the Providence Cove Lands Archeological District. In 2013, The Public Archaeology Laboratory, Inc. (PAL) began a multi-year project to assess, analyze, catalog, and re-curate the Cove Lands Collection. In total, PAL’s effort re-cataloged and re-curated an assemblage of approximately 150,000 artifacts dating from the Middle Archaic period through the...

The Highbourne Cay Shipwreck, found in the Exumas, Bahamas, is the most intact example of a ‘Ship of Discovery’ in the world. The identity and purpose are still unknown, yet a recent, non-intrusive visit to the site recorded no obvious signs of damage to the ballast mound. Because the site has been disturbed and re-covered on two documented occasions, valuable reflexive questions can be asked decades later regarding the effectiveness of conservation in situ. Soon, the Bahamas will be lifting...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For several decades the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation (JYF) has run an immersive living history museum with a re-created Powhatan Indian town on the grounds of the Jamestown Settlement. Based on the nearby archaeological site of Paspahegh, a pre- and post-contact Powhatan town site, the material culture used by the interpretive staff has been driven almost exclusively by archaeological...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Community Archaeology in 2020: Conventional or Revolutionary?" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the last twenty years community engagement has become more prominent if not mainstream in archaeology, perhaps to the point that our concept of community archaeology has become generalized. In this paper I will examine the concept of community archaeology, its theoretical underpinnings as activist archaeology...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since its discovery by sport divers in the Cooper River near Charleston, South Carolina during the 1970s, the Strawberry Vessel shipwreck was believed to represent the remains of a British gunboat lost in 1781, however XRF and SEM analysis of hull sheathing samples recovered from the wreck in 2018 suggests the Strawberry Vessel was constructed no earlier than 1810. In light of these...

With the signing of the Treaty of Cordoba in 1821, Spain formerly recognized Mexico as an independent nation. As identity shifted from colony to country, processes of modernization accelerated and rural households were transformed. These transformations led to increased attacks on the traditional structures of home life, family, and community, attacks that ultimately erupted in the rural uprisings associated with the Central Mexican experience of the Mexican Revolution. Drawing on...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This is the story of one small man with huge responsibilities. Quash was one of Butler’s enslaved people on Little St Simons Island, Georgia during the antebellum period. Even under the thumb of overseer Roswell King, Quash managed to gain his own form of autonomy, lived in his own house that was much larger than a traditional slave dwelling, on his own island. During the spring of...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2019, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (NMAH) hosted international experts in shipwreck timber conservation to consult on the long-term stabilization and preservation of the Revolutionary War gunboat Philadelphia. The gondola sank at the Battle of Valcour Island in Lake Champlain on 11 October 1776 and was raised in 1935. It is the oldest surviving American...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Medieval to Modern Transitions and Historical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Numerous farmsteads were established in Iceland's highland margins and back valleys during the late 9th and early 10th centuries, as part of the rapid process of settlement across the island. Many of these marginal farms were deserted sometime between the 11th and early 16th centuries, only to be re-settled...
