Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, renowned as the ‘Cradle of Naval Aviation’, has been a fundamental pilot training facility for the U.S. Navy since its establishment in 1914. Soon after, World War I ensured aviation would remain an important aspect of U.S. naval warfare, and lead to increased influx of prospective aviation cadets at NAS Pensacola. The next several decades of training led to hundreds of training accidents, some of which resulted in the loss of naval aircraft in waters offshore...
Lost in Action, Navy's Missing Training and Experimental Aircraft: A NAS Pax River Case Study (2018)
As part of NAS Pax Rivers heritage management responsibilities, Naval History and Heritage Command's Underwater Archaeology Branch (NHHC UAB) and partner entities have been conducting remote sensing surveys in the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters since 2015 in order to find its missing aircraft from the early 1940s and 1950s. Several were lost at the advent of WWII as part of experimental testing, which lead to advancements in aircraft capabilities and flight safety. This paper will...

Lost Legacy: The Search for a Descendant Community (2018)
Catoctin Furnace is a community at the base of the Catoctin Mountains in Frederick County, Maryland, that descends from a thriving iron-working village. From the furnace’s foundation in 1776, European immigrants and enslaved African-Americans comprised its labor force, producing the iron tools and armaments that powered a growing nation until the furnace’s demise in 1903. From the Revolution until the mid-19th century, the iron furnace and associated agrarian enterprises relied primarily on the...
Lost Lightnin’: Moonshine in the American Southeast in the Archaeological Record (2018)
Moonshine stills are commonly discovered during archaeological surveys and excavations across the American South, where moonshine production holds historical economic importance. Stills are recorded occasionally, but little investigative research is done because of a prevailing assumption that they offer nothing of historical significance. I seek to demonstrate that this assumption is not correct. My major objectives include establishing a chronology and typology of stills, identifying...
The Lost Ships of Cortés Project and the Search for a 500-Year-Old Scuttled Fleet (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The discovery and exploration of Mexico during Spanish expeditions in 1517 and 1518 set the stage for the conquest of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán in 1521. Appointed by the Governor of Cuba in 1519, Hernán Cortés led an expedition to...
Lost to the Minefield: The Wreck of F.W. Abrams off Cape Hatteras, NC (2017)
The U.S. Merchant Marine provided a necessary supply line to Allied troops through the entirety of WWII. In June 1942, the crude oil tanker F.W. Abrams fell victim to the Hatteras minefield, a defensive mechanism meant to protect U.S. merchant vessels. The ship struck three mines before sinking just off the coast of Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. In May 2016, the Battle of the Atlantic Research Expedition Group began a Phase I survey of the site, primarily to corroborate or compare to...
A Lot Harder Than It Looks: Conservation Of A Worst Case Scenario (2017)
Piecing together and conserving weathered timber skeletons of shipwrecks is a daunting undertaking in the best of circumstances. But, when those timbers are ripped from their resting place during a massive construction project, displaced, left exposed to the elements and general public, for weeks before being locked away, untreated, in storage for over a year, that undertaking can become a near impossible challenge. In the flurry of massive multi-agency infrastructure projects undertaken to...

Louisiana’s Dugout Canoes: An Inventory and Assessment (2024)
This is an abstract from the "What’s Canoe? Recent Research on Dugouts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Louisiana has 31 dugout and plank canoes spanning the last 2,000 years recorded in the archaeological site files. The collection reflects a diversity of shapes and sizes in both Indigenous and Euroamerican assemblages, suggesting that beyond the required linear shape, individual preference and intended function significantly influenced form. This...
"Love is a Sweet Insanity": The Hidden Gender Revolutions of the 19th-Century Asylum (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Gender Revolutions: Disrupting Heteronormative Practices and Epistemologies" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the 19th century, a new impulse toward the humane treatment of the insane prompted the establishment of lunatic hospitals across the United States and Europe. Within the normalizing disciplinary regime of these asylums, expressions of gender nonconformity and “deviant sexual instinct” (i.e.,...
Low Water Bankline Survey of the Rice Plantation Landscape (2016)
As part of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, the Savannah district will construct a number of mitigation features to compensate for adverse environmental impacts. Panamerican Consultants conducted both terrestrial and submerged investigations within the Savannah River estuary. A large component of the overall project was a low water bankline survey of Steamboat Slough, as well as Middle and Little Back Rivers, which recorded a total of 116 sites. Associated with the rice plantation...
Low-cost System for Image-Based 3D Documentation in Archaeology (2015)
The paper presents an image-based scene reconstruction algorithm for the 3D documentation of a lighter boat from the Gold Rush Era. It follows the structure-from-motion approach and uses low-cost equipment that is part of the standard documentation procedure at an archaeological site---a digital camera and a total station. Points measured with the total station are used to transform the model into the projected coordinate systems used at the excavation site such that measuring and...

Low-Fired Ceramic Chronologies at Fort Mose (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fort Mose was the first free black settlement in the United States, built in Spanish territory on land previously occupied by the Eastern Timucuan. This paper explores the ceramics of Fort Mose and delves into the chronology of site use based on ceramic types. Indigenous ceramics and colonoware provide insight into the presence and cultural interaction of...
Lowcountry Livestock Production: Eighteenth-Century Cattle Husbandry at Drayton Hall (2017)
The Proprietors of colonial South Carolina had wanted the colonists to be "planters and not graziers." However, the mild winters of South Carolina and the abundant range-lands were perfect for livestock production, and the livestock industry soon provided the financial foundation for many colonists to be planters as well as graziers. Utilizing faunal evidence from eighteenth-century assemblages from Drayton Hall, this paper explores the changing cattle husbandry strategies employed...
Lowcountry Urban Landscapes in the Greater British Caribbean (2018)
Archaeologists and architectural historians have long argued that Charleston’s Town Houses and urban landscapes were social stages for the Lowcountry’s gentry classes. But beyond their roles as socio-cultural theaters, cities and town played myriad economic, symbolic, and defensive roles in early modern colonial society. The challenge is understanding the intersection of these interpretive themes as realized through material cultural and the built environment. To begin to formulate more...
