On The Rim Of The Southern Cause: Quaker Potters In The Confederate Capital (2015)
In Richmond, capital of the Confederacy, northerners, free blacks, and Quakers operating on the periphery of the Southern cause challenged its basic foundations. Here, overlooking the James River and its busy docks at ‘Rocketts,’ stood the stoneware pottery of the Quaker Parr family. Already prominent potters in Baltimore, the Parrs came to Richmond a decade earlier and now partnered with a local auctioneer of Quaker extraction. In trying to keep their operation afloat, the Parrs came up against...

On the Verge: A Pocket Watch from Queen Anne’s Revenge (2018)
Beginning with the development of the verge escapement in the 13th century, there was a trend in mechanical timepieces to make them both more accurate and more portable. The most accurate timepiece of the 18th century, the marine chronometer, could be used to determine longitude at sea, while up to this point pocket watches were used as displays of wealth and for tasks such as keeping track of watch shifts. Pocket watches were not uncommon on board ships during the 17th and 18th centuries, but...
On the Waterfront: Archaeological Investigations along the Delaware River in Philadelphia (2016)
Since the late 1960s multiple archaeological investigations have been conducted along the city’s Delaware River waterfront – the area that forms the heart of Philadelphia’s historical social and economic center. These excavations have succeeded in documenting sites associated with the growth and development of the city’s port facilities, the foundation of the early ship building industry, 19th and 20th century industrial expansion, as well as the working class people and families who made the...

On Writing The Past Backwards (2020)
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. Thinking about medieval and modern means involves working backwards – from New World settlement to European and African antecedents and origins. Such a project raises a series of issues and challenges. First, while there is extensive ldiscussion of how time is socially embedded, there is little on the reversal of...

"The Once Great Plantation is Now a Wilderness" Investigations at the Josiah Henson SIte, Montgomery County, Maryland (2015)
In 2006, Montgomery Parks purchased a house and one acre of land in suburban Maryland, beginning historical and archaeological investigations into the site and its association with Josiah Henson, a Reverend, Underground Railroad conductor, and escaped slave. Known to local residents for its relationship to Harriett Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, the 19th century abolitionist novel, the site was the subject of much myth about the existing structures and their link to Henson, who was enslaved...
One Artifact, Multiple Interpretations: Postcolonial Archaeology and the Analysis of Chinese Coins (2015)
This paper examines how a focus on "culturally bounded" groups restricts historical archaeology’s exploration of oppressive social practices such as slavery, racism, and inequality. Competing interpretations of a single class of material culture – in this case, Chinese coins – illuminates how bias enters archaeological interpretations in subtle ways. Chinese coins, also known as wen have been recovered from historic sites on nearly every continent. The author focuses on the interpretation of...
One by Land, Two by Sea: Differentiating Learning Levels in Archaeology Education Programs (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeology education programs should address the needs of both students and teachers, therefore the programs should be tailored to specific age groups. Through our research on current educational theory and learning styles, our collaboration with local teachers, and our work with the Florida Public Archaeology Network, we compare differences in educational approaches for elementary and...

Since this time, UWF archaeologists and the author have performed intricate studies of the structure in an attempt to determine its possible association with the Emanuel Point II shipwreck. This paper...

The Ongoing Battle of Ewa Plain, Hawaii: Resurrection of a Lost Battlefield (2016)
The Battle of Ewa Plain began in the morning of December 7, 1941 and was part of the larger surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy on United States military forces stationed at Pearl Harbor. Home to the former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS), Ewa, and several plantation villages, this area was subjected to waves of strafing by Japanese aircraft. Working closely with local preservationists, a National Register nomination was prepared for the battlefield including a somewhat novel KOCOA...

The Ongoing Quest for the Wreck of the Griffon (2017)
In September of 1679, LaSalle’s vessel the Griffon went missing with a cargo of furs after setting sail from Green Bay in western Lake Michigan. The wreck of the Griffon is perhaps the most sought-after shipwreck in the Great Lakes. Many claims of discovery have been made over the years. A recent claim has received a great deal of media attention, but archaeological evidence does not support the contention that the wreck has been found.
Only Wind and Dust: Exploratory Archival and Survey Research at the Heart Mountain Root Cellars (2018)
The root cellars of Heart Mountain represent a key relationship between a community of approximately 10,000 people of Japanese descent and the barren landscape they ultimate turned into one of the most successful agricultural projects among the camps. Although most physical remains of the Heart Mountain camp have vanished, one of the incarceree-built root cellars remains largely intact, and the other, although collapsed in the 1950s, remains easily identifiable today. This paper presents the...
The Ontological Approach: Applying Social Theory to Physically Manifested Culture (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Reflections, Practice, and Ethics in Historical Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The design, integration, and accessibility of digitized collections allows one to determine a "things" meaning for themselves, instead of having to accept or deny the preexisting representation applied to said "thing." This will create possibilities of expanded representation for objects, cultures, and meaning itself. The...
Open Science, Core Facilities, and Archaeology (2015)
The past decade has witnessed two onging transformations in the ways in which scholars create and disseminate knowledge in the natural and social sciences. The first is the open science movement, which aims to make the entire research process and its products, transparent, replicable, and accessible to colleagues and the public. The second is the emergence of "core facilities", organizations that offer widely shared technical resources that individuals researchers would have...
