We examine the material residues of 17th century Pocumtuck Indians to understand their long-term entanglements with others: kith and kin, ally and adversary, Native and non-Native. The Pocumtuck resided in New England’s middle Connecticut River Valley and were enmeshed in the Euro-Native exchange networks made possible by the river, its smaller tributaries, and well established trail networks linking Native and non-Native communities in all directions. We consider objects of copper alloy, stone,...
Object itineraries of metal artifacts from the Stark Farm Site Complex (22OK778) (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Object itineraries allow archaeologists to analyze material culture with less bias, while acknowledging both Native and archaeological perspectives, by considering the many different contexts through which an object moves in time and space. In this paper, I focus on creating a deeper understanding of European-made metal objects uncovered at Stark Farm...
Object-Based Image Analysis for Classifying Precontact Native American Mud Glyphs by Production Technique (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Rock Art Documentation, Research, and Analysis" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In recent years, rock art researchers have adopted a variety of automated methods that classify rock art images from high-resolution photographs and 3D models. These methods not only aid in the documentation of rock art, but can also assist with interpreting complex panels with multiple types of images...
Objects and Voices: Conversations about artifacts, memory, and meaning with the former residents of Timbuctoo, NJ (2015)
Today’s historical archaeology places significant emphasis on the value and necessity of working with communities to create knowledge, and making that knowledge both useful and accessible to the public. Oral history has risen as a forefront method for this co-production of knowledge, allowing for voices beyond those of academics to be heard in the telling (and re-telling) of history. As historical archaeologists, we are just beginning to explore novel ways of incorporating oral history and the...
Objects past, objects present: materials, resistance and memory from the Le Morne Old Cemetery, Mauritius (2015)
The body of literature on slave artefacts and consumptive waste highlight the nuances and complexity of slave life-ways. Despite this, these represent small concessions traded against much greater losses, with the notion of ‘social death’ poignantly expressing a slave’s inevitable disconnect from ancestral practices. Allied to this, but fundamentally different, is the development of numerous syncretic belief systems that have their origins in a marriage between African and European faiths. Thus,...
Obligations and Opportunities of Old Collections, a Boston Perspective (2015)
The City of Boston Archaeology Laboratory contains nearly two-dozen archaeological assemblages totaling 2,000 boxes and well over 1,000,000 artifacts. The vast majority of these collections were excavated between 1975 and 1995, which poses a monumental challenge of re-cataloging, re-organizing, and re-analyzing collections that have defined the early history of Northeast historical archaeology. These collections also represent a great opportunity for students and researchers to examine...

Oceanographic Processes Relating to the Regional Variation of Shipwreck Preservation (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Nuts and Bolts of Ships: The J. Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Laboratory and the future of the archaeology of Shipbuilding" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Shipwreck preservation varies based on the location of the shipwreck and materials of the ship itself. Biological, chemical, and physical processes all affect the in situ preservation of shipwrecks with differences in temperature, dissolved...
The Oconee River Wreck: The Discovery and Preservation of a Georgia Flatboat Timber (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In June of 2019 two recreational fishermen notified the Museum of Underwater Archaeology about a piece of wreckage that had been pulled from Oconee River near Milledgeville, Georgia. The initial investigation suggested the 27-foot-long timber might be an early nineteenth-century flatboat. This paper will discuss the background research, investigation, and preservation plan currently...
Of Capitalism and Crabs: Understanding and Challenging the Dynamics of Preservation in Charm City (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Slow Archaeology + Fast Capitalism: Hard Lessons and Future Strategies from Urban Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Preservation in Baltimore is guided by local and national regimes of values. Often these values are tied to commercialism and market-based identities. Narratives that contradict or counter these profit-centered and contrived values are often minimized or ignored. The result is the...

Of Marsh and Mangal: Political/Historical Ecology in Tampa Bay’s Coastal Wetlands (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Today, dense mangrove forests dominate the intertidal wetlands of the Tampa Bay Estuary System in west-central Florida. Following the publication of seminal ecology studies in the 1960’s, sub-tropical mangrove forests became a major focus of coastal environmental protection and restoration initiatives in Florida. Recent GIS-based historical research by the...
Of Monks and Mothers: Examining Privilege, Parenting, and Best Laid Plans (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. Becoming a mother was a learning experience in misogyny and discrimination. From a radical lack of maternity leave to the second shift at home, exhausted does not begin to describe my condition. However, as anthropologists, we are also trained to see our privilege (in my case a private office for pumping breastmilk and a flexible work...
Of Pirates and Pilots: The Impact of Climate on Illicit and Survival Behaviour on the Fringes of Global Society (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Relationships between people and landscapes can be used to inform upon social and behavioural variations. Hurricanes and shifting climactic dynamics around Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks NC directly affected this relationship. Historically, Ocracoke provided vital trade and communication links from the West Indies to North America. Pilot Town, on Ocracoke...
