At SHA 2016, evidence was presented, and subsequently published, demonstrating that strong magnetic field perturbations resulting from Earth-directed solar events can adversely affect marine archaeological survey. Survey and observatory magnetometer data from mid-latitude regions confirmed the immediate onset of geomagnetic storms and the fast compression of the magnetopause, creating a short-duration, high amplitude spike in Earth’s magnetic field that appears similar to the signature of an...

The investigation of three early nineteenth century shipwrecks, believed to be contemporary with one another based on the artifact assemblages, was conducted in 2013 at over 1400 m depth in the northern Gulf of Mexico. High resolution mapping of the three sites was conducted from ROV-mounted stereo cameras and multibeam sonar, which produced photomosaics and microbathymetry maps. From these data, we can determine how sediment moved around each site and the geomorphology of the shipwrecks...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Creighton Island Shell Ring (9MC87) is one of several Late Archaic shell rings, circular or “U”- shaped deposits of shell and soil, in coastal Georgia. Radiocarbon dates suggest the shell ring was constructed in at least two phases: constructed initially around 2000–1810 BC, and ceasing around 1920-1730 BC, indicating rapid construction and slightly...

During April 2016, archeologists from the National Park Service conducted a geophysical investigation within the core and cemetery areas of the Fort Larned site.  Fort Larned served as the base of military operations against the hostile Plains Indians and for the protection of commerce along the eastern part of the Santa Fe Trail during the 1860s and 1870s.  The 2016 geophysical investigations included a magnetic survey of the core area and cemetery, as well as a ground penetrating radar survey...

Investigation of the Revolutionary War site of Fort Motte (38CL1) has been ongoing since 2004. In the 2015 field season volunteers and the summer archaeological field school assisted the work by analyzing 9200 sq meters of the roughly 13 acres of the primary battlefield site by dual gradiometer. Eventually the entire 13 acres will be analyzed. This paper presents the findings to date with special attention to the fortification, plantation house and sap.

Hanna's Town (36WM203), an 18th century site located in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, was a major settlement that was attacked and destroyed by a force of British and Native Americans in 1782. The town never fully recovered, and the land was repurposed for agricultural use until it was purchased in 1969 by Westmoreland County, who reconstructed the town for tourism purposes. Overlooking the site is the town's cemetery, which has been given little attention in regards to research. The...

During July 16 to 19, 2007, the Midwest Archeological Center and Fort Smith National Historic Site staffs conducted geophysical investigations at the second Fort Smith site within the Fort Smith National Historic Site (3SB79) in the City of Fort Smith in Sebastian County, Arkansas. The project was conducted in response to the park’s request for the non-destructive and non-invasive investigations of a triangular area between the Officers Quarters location and the modern railroad tracks in...

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Paleolandscape Investigations in the Gulf of Mexico" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The authors acquired parametric subbottom and conventional chirp subbottom data over potential submerged and buried landscapes features in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of the study was two-fold: to map out potential preserved features for geotechnical sampling and also to directly compare the efficacy of the...

Geophysical methods in archaeology are increasingly integrated into traditional archaeological surveys. Remote sensing is valuable because it allows for large areas to be surveyed relatively quickly and noninvasively. At the Hollister site in South Glastonbury, Connecticut, magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar, were implemented over a 140x140 meter area. Magnetometry measures alterations to earth’s magnetic field. This method is helpful for identifying a number of artifacts and features,...

Between March 26 and March 30, the author directed resistance geophysical surveys at the Elkhorn Tavern and the LeetolNI1 site within Pea Ridge National Military Park, Arkansas (PERI). The research was performed as part of a broader inventory of the cultural resources of PERI. The goal of the resistance surveys at PERI was to attempt to locate various structural elements and features of the properties that relate to the Civil War era in a non-destructive manner. At each surveyed area, soil...

In mid-2017, CRA personnel conducted a geophysical survey and Phase II archaeological excavations on a tract of land adjacent to the Elk River in Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. The property is the location of Site 46KA681, which is a multicomponent site that includes evidence of both prehistoric and historic occupations. The prehistoric component consists of a small habitation site of unknown cultural or temporal affiliation, while the historic component dates to as early as the...

In a two-week period in September 1999, a team from the Midwest Archeological Center conducted geophysical surveys of the perimeter fortification system at the location of the Second Fort Smith. The work included magnetic surveying, soil resistance surveying, and the application of ground-penetrating radar. Electrical resistance and ground-penetrating radar data revealed several sections of the perimeter wall and portions of three bastions. In addition, a number of other features that may...

In June and July of 2015, Industrial Archaeologists from Michigan Technological University working with MTU's geophyics field school conducted field work that consisted of the use of ground penetrating radar, magnetometry, resistivity testing, and LIDAR, to help identify the location of features associated with the earliest African American pioneers of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This poster details the process and discusses the findings.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Lives Revealed: Interpreting the Human Remains and Personal Artifacts from the Civil War Submarine H. L. Hunley" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. George E. Dixon was the last captain of the H.L. Hunley submarine. He was the most famous member of the crew during the historic events surrounding the submarine’s sinking of USS Housatonic, but many details of his life remain a mystery. This paper will take a...

The presence of ‘G.R.’ drinking vessels on mid-eighteenth century archaeological sites in Virginia is typically nothing to write home about… unless the sites in question are associated with individuals who were to become significant figures in the American Revolution. ‘G.R.’ vessels have been recovered from George Washington’s boyhood home at Ferry Farm, and Kenmore, his sister Betty’s home with her husband Fielding Lewis, a financier of the Revolution.  Like most colonists, they viewed...

In archaeology, context is key. Advanced technology allows the expansion of accurate site context from in situ artifact assemblages to globally geo-referenced datasets. Custom aerial imagery over the Highbourne Cay littoral zone facilitated the creation of tailored orthomosaics and digital elevation models. Blended with bathymetry from underwater imaging, manually acquired data points, and public datasets, this geospatial analysis of the Highbourne Cay shipwreck littoral zone provides the most...
