Southern Louisiana was home to one of the largest cash crops cultivated during antebellum times. Sugarcane was grown in a relatively small area in South Louisiana, but had far reaching impacgts at both the local and regional level. This poster will discuss the archaeology taking place at the Chatsworth Plantation site. I will also examine the spatial layout of Chatsworth, a sugar producing plantation, and discuss possible reasons for the use of the particular layout. In addition, I will...

Living Under Threat: A Transnational Look at Safety, Security, and Cultural Memory in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. It is a well-established fact that Chinese immigrants to the United States faced chronic structural violence and institutional discrimination on the local, regional, and national level. However, it is unclear the degree to which acute or interpersonal violence was experienced in everyday life by early...
The Living Village: Time Slices and Residential Shifts, 1800-1960, Inishark, Ireland (2013)
The cultural geography and development of Irish coastal villages before, during and after the famine remains largely unexplored. The evacuation of Inishark in 1960, and the absence of later building and development, provides a unique opportunity to understand the how village organization changed from 1800-1960. Drawing upon historical maps of Inishark from 1816, 1838, 1849, 1898, LiDAR of the village, and archaeological field research, in this presentation we explore the interweaving of human...
Living Waters, Living History: Investigating a 20th Century Mikveh at Puddle Dock (2015)
Over the summer of 2014, Strawbery Banke Museum archaeologists and students excavated at a house site, which oral history suggested was the location of an early 20th century mikveh (Jewish ritual bath). Research found that the house was once owned by the Portsmouth, NH Hebrew Ladies’ Society, who later sold the house to Temple Israel, just a few blocks away. By 1935, the mikveh was no longer in use. This presentation explores the history of Portsmouth’s Jewish immigrant community, who...

Living Within and Without the Borders of Others: An Historic Period First Nations Hunting/Trapping Site in Northern Alberta (2015)
Although the Cold Lake First Nation signed Treaty Six in 1876, granting them a small treatied territory of some 19,000 hectares, many families continued their winter forays in search of game and furs into traditional territories well off the Reserve for many decades. Recent archaeological research, ahead of a proposed pipeline development, has focussed on one such wintering site, located within what is now the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range. Evidence of family groups reusing this base camp has been...
A Loam in the Darkness: Investigations at Half Mile Rise Sink (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Local Tradition or Response to Hard Times? 20th-Century Urban Foodways in Toledo, Ohio (2018)
From summer 2014 through spring 2015, The Mannik & Smith Group conducted Phase I and Phase III investigations of two partial city blocks in the Uptown neighborhood of Toledo, Ohio. The Phase I survey identified a total of 29 features, including building foundations and utility features associated with domestic occupations, commercial enterprises, and a hospital and representing deposits from the 1860s through the 1950s. Phase III data recovery excavations focused on 12 of these features, dating...
Local ‘Patterns’, Global Currents – The Changing Face of Pilgrimage Traditions in Rural Western Ireland, c. 1800-Present (2018)
Common in the post-medieval period, annual ‘patterns’ or feast day celebrations of local patron saints remains an ongoing tradition in parts of rural Ireland. At times suppressed by the Catholic Church, pattern day activities typically involve visiting sacred monuments (e.g. wells, stones, trees, and medieval monastic ruins) to carry out a series of devotional practices. Such traditions represent the intersection of medieval heritage with both specific local conditions and broader historical...
The Localization of Taphonomy: The Impacts of Physical Environments and the Memorialization Practices of Local Populations on Combat Loss Archaeological Sites (2017)
The taphonomic processes that affect archaeological remains in a given location are some of the most significant factors to be taken into consideration when assessing the type and amount of information potentially recoverable from an archaeological site. These processes vary widely based upon geographic region. Human agency as a taphonomic process has similar geographically and culturally-based variability. Through remembrance, memorialization, and commemoration, or lack thereof, to include...
Localized Adaptations in Cloth Production at Bulow Plantation, Florida (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Initial excavations at Bulow Plantation in Northeast Florida suggested that the destruction of the site by Seminole forces in 1836 had obscured much of the detail of enslaved life there. However, excavations at a second cabin suggest that a much deeper story can be told about the lives of enslaved peoples at Bulow Plantation in the early 19th century than...

Locked Up: Archaeological Indications of Immigrant Experience on New York's Canals (2017)
This study focuses on the archaeological correlates of the lived experience of immigrant communities that worked along New York's canal systems during the nineteenth century. A part of ongoing dissertation research, this poster is meant to illustrate case studies of the events and pressures of immigrant labor with the goal of fostering a better understanding of New York's industrial, political, and social history. Issues involved in this complex topic include trade agreements and cost...
Locking Through: Sailing Canallers and the Evolution of Maritime Industrial Landscapes in the Great Lakes (2018)
The mid to late nineteenth century emergence of purpose-built sailing vessels to ply the Welland Canal was a relatively simple solution to meet the diverse demands of bulk cargo transportation in the Great Lakes. As such, ‘sailing canallers’ were an important economic link between the eastern and western United States, connecting economic and industrial landscapes of the Midwest with eastern markets, and fueling the expansion of major Great Lakes industrial centers. With few drawn plans, and no...
Logan City, Nevada: Excavation of an 1860s Mining Camp (2016)
In July 2015, ASM Affiliates Inc. (ASM) conducted an excavation of an 1860s mining camp at Logan City, Lincoln County, Nevada. In 1864, Mormons, miners, and the military had moved into, what is now, Southeastern Nevada, in a quest for land, water, and silver. Native Americans resisted these efforts and briefly expelled miners from Logan City; however, the miners returned and established a substantial camp surrounding Logan Spring. During an extensive survey in 2013 and 2014, ASM archaeologists...

Long Walks and Longer Waits: Educational Injustice in Boston Schools (2018)
The Abiel Smith School, located on Boston’s historic Beacon Hill, was one of the oldest all-Black schools in the country and operated from 1834 to 1855. According to documentary evidence, the school was underfunded, mismanaged, and often at the center of debates about segregation. The Northeast Museum Services Center, in partnership with the Boston City Archaeology Program, is rehousing and researching the artifacts associated with the school that were excavated in the 1990s. The artifacts tell...
Longrow Laborer Houses at the Estate Lower Bethlehem Factory, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the late nineteenth century as global competition increased the Caribbean sugar industry consolidated into a small number of central factories and rum distilleries. The industrial capacity of some plantations was upgraded with the introduction of steam-powered mills, whereas other elements of infrastructure like fields and laborer housing continued to be used. Thus masonry...

A Look At Violence In A Western Mining District (2016)
Mining districts are inherently violent places. Deaths, accidents, and injuries are topics that appear liberally in historic literature; period newspapers almost gleefully reported on deaths caused by accidents and foul play. Suicide, however, was a form of death often accompanied by stigma, and frequently reported with overtones of pity. Rarely does violence manifest itself in the archaeological record. This paper discusses the unexpected discovery of a Depression-era suicide in a central...
