The Many Functions And Meanings of Flora Within The Lives of Two American Immigrant Families (2016)
This paper considers the many diverse functions and meanings of flora within the lives of two American immigrant families—the Birys, a family of Alsatian immigrants living in Castroville, Texas and the Domotos, a family of Japanese immigrants living in Oakland, California. Drawing evidence from the archaeological record, modern built landscapes, oral history interviews, and written histories, I demonstrate that plant life played a central role in these families’ struggles to create livable...
Many Remedies to Choose From: Social Relationships and Healing in an Enslaved Community (2016)
When enslaved individuals fell ill, a plethora of cures were available from various sources. For instance, a planter could have a local doctor treat an enslaved woman, or she could treat herself through the use of medicines she purchased or plants she gathered. Whatever choice she made, however, did not occur in a vacuum. Rather, the social connections and relationships that structured her daily life shaped the way in which she sought to heal herself. So far, unfortunately, the interaction...

Mapping Faunal Data to tDAR Ontologies to Address Data Comparability and Archaic Period Use of Animals in the Interior Eastern United States (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology and Technology: Case Studies and Applications" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. With support from a National Science Foundation grant, the Eastern Archaic Faunal Working Group (EAFWG) uploaded faunal datasets for 24 Archaic Period (10,000-3,000 BP) archaeological sites in the Interior Eastern United States into the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) to address research questions about the roles of...
Mapping Gloucestertown (2018)
Decades of primarily compliance-driven archaeology at Gloucester Point has turned up dozens of buildings, hundreds of postholes, and numerous cultural features that document the rise and fall of this colonial port town and scene of two major military encampments and fort-building episodes. But this evidence has been recovered piecemeal, and it has been difficult to relate individual buildings and sites to town lots and their owners. Our current research involved extensive excavations along with...
Mapping Indigenous Laborers at the Pageant Tavern and Hotel on the Red Cliff Reservation on Lake Superior, Wisconsin, USA. (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Pageant Tavern and Hotel operated during the 1920s and 1930s on the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Reservation in Northern Wisconsin. The Pageant Tavern was owned by non-Native and non-local businessmen, but the hotel staff and caretakers were Indigenous (Ojibwe) residents of Red Cliff. A recorded interview indicates the staff lived at or...
Mapping Memories and Digging the Past in Freetown (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Community Archaeology in 2020: Conventional or Revolutionary?" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper presents the latest results of archaeology at the Fowler House, a late 19th and early 20th century Montaukett homesite in East Hampton, New York. Ongoing research at this site is based on a mixed-methods approach that combines ethnography with mapping and archaeological investigation to shed light on...
MAPPING MEMORIES OF FREETOWN: the Meanings of a Native American House in a Black Neighborhood (2018)
The rediscovery of a 20th century Montaukett home in what is remembered as an "historically-black neighborhood" sheds new light on the silenced histories of people of color on Long Island. While efforts are underway to preserve and restore the Fowler house and property, the authors are working with residents, descendants, and community members to understand the relationships that formed around this property, and throughout the Freetown neighborhood. In this paper, landscape and space are...
Mapping Near-Historical Climate Impacts to Coastal Sites (2016)
Historical archaeologists examine material culture dating to the industrial period, which spawned human-induced climate change. We are uniquely positioned to examine changes through the material record. Additionally archeologists have been making and recording observations about the condition of sites for many years. Archeologists in the National Park Service (NPS) have, in doing so, inadvertently left their own record of climate change effects. These observations are stored in NPS’s...
Mapping Residential and Public Space in Cahokia’s Merrell Tract: Results of Recent Magnetic Surveys (2017)
The Merrell Tract is located west of Monk’s Mound and just outside downtown Cahokia. It is well known for excavations of the famous Woodhenge at its west end and a large residential district at the east end. However, very little is known about what lies between. In 2012 and 2013, with logistical funding from the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society and the Illinois Association for Advancement of Archaeology, a large-area magnetic survey was undertaken to determine the density and extent of the area’s...
Mapping Settler Colonialism: The Cartography of the Rogue River War, 1855-56 (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Settler colonialism rapidly impacted southern Oregon with the onset of the gold rush. The Shasta, Takelma, and Athapaskan people accommodated the mass immigration of prospectors and settler families in various ways, but ultimately many turned to armed rebellion. The Rogue River War of 1855-56 was a concerted effort by indigenous leaders to resist this incursion by military means, an...
Mapping Shipwrecks of the Revolutionary War: 1778 Battle of Chestnut Neck, New Jersey. (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. An obscure historical battle along the Mullica River in Port Republic, New Jersey, was one of the first documented amphibious assaults by a foreign nation on South Jersey soil and has led to a continuing investigation of shipwrecks of the Revolutionary War period. These shipwrecks have become field classrooms, using them to instruct students about small boat operations, research...
Mapping Spaces of Care, Resistance, and Resiliency at Tuberculosis Sanatorium Sites (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper explores how archaeological mapping of institutions intersects with experiences of sanatorium spaces described in oral histories and historical documents, and the relationship between landscape, memory, practice, and performance at former tuberculosis sanatorium sites in California. The Weimar Joint Sanatorium for tuberculosis in Placer County, California, was a...
Mapping Spanish Settlement at Santa Elena (1566-1587): An Integrated Archaeogeophysical Approach (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Technology in Terrestrial and Underwater Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Santa Elena, located on Parris Island along the South Carolina coast, was occupied between AD 1566 and 1587. During this time, it served as the location for five Spanish forts, a colonial town of over 200 settlers, and as the first capital of Spanish La Florida. We combine 30+ years of archaeological investigations with a new...
Mapping the African American Past: a Model of Collaboration for Public Archaeologies. (2013)
Mapping the African American Past (MAAP), hosted by Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning, is comprised of web-based educational modules that stem from partnerships forged between educators, technologists, archaeologists, and students to construct accessible interrelated landscapes. Linking digitized contributions from local historical societies, libraries, and family genealogies, transforming palimpsest into lesson plans and downloadable audio walking tours, creates geographies...
Mapping the Archaeology of Slavery in the Hudson River Valley (2016)
Recent archaeological research is producing an ever expanding literature on the material conditions of slavery in the north, particularly as it existed in New York City and Long Island. As a result, archaeologists and historians now recognize that the built environment of slavery assumed many forms in the northeast, including plantations. Yet, a rigorous archaeological scholarship in the upper Hudson valley is lagging. Archaeologists at the New York State Museum began a project in 2015 entitled...
Mapping the Buffalo Lake Métis Wintering Site (2015)
Mapping techniques change over time, and with that we are presented with new ways of visualizing and recording information at archaeological sites. Although work was undertaken at the Buffalo Lake Métis Wintering Site for a number of years in the 1970s, since then newer technologies such as Total Stations and RTK GNSS receivers have allowed for accurate maps to be more easily created at the site scale. This poster looks at how our understanding of the spatial organization of the cabin features...
Mapping The Land God Made In Anger: Conducting A Rapid, But Thorough Survey Of Namibia’s Forbidden Zone (2016)
There are few sites more remote or environments more hostile than the mostly abandoned diamond fields of the southern Namib Desert. This is the Sperrgebiet, declared the Forbidden Zone by the German colonial administration in 1908 and still forbidden to this day. It’s 26,000 km2 of industrial debris and a few sand-drenched settlements. Our goal was to produce a comprehensive map of the town of Pomona, abandoned in 1928, and nearby mining camp Stauch’s Lager in as little time in the field as...
Mapping The Maritime Frontier: The Development Of Aids To Navigation, Risk Mitigation And The Maritime Frontier Of The Florida Keys. (2017)
The physical landscape of the Florida Keys and its associated reef tract has forced a series of unique adaptations to manage the risk of utilizing the area. The study of human adaptation and modification of the area through the progress of systematic survey, the establishment of an Aids to Navigation (ATON) network, and the further development of maritime infrastructure could be interpreted as a means to measure human exploration and utilization of the maritime frontier. Furthermore, it...
Mapping the Mines, Part 1: Terrestrial LiDAR (2018)
Digital mapping is the trending technology for just about any archaeological fieldwork project. While many universities (and their impassioned students) have access to this new technology and can play with it ad nauseam, its introduction to CRM projects is not as forthcoming as some would like (including CRM practitioners and nascent drone companies). Like all emerging technologies, questions abound about which technology to use, effective application for the task at hand, and most importantly,...
Mapping the Mines, Part 2: UAS Application (2018)
The use of unmanned aerial systems (aka drones) as part of archaeological survey is becoming more common. This approach holds promise for visually describing the complexity of mining landscapes at a level of detail not available to most aerial imagery. However, the methods and resulting data generated with this approach require closer scrutiny. The variety of technological options available for both the UAS, and for post-processing software, creates difficulty in developing a consistent approach...
Mapping the Path to Preservation: Integrating community and research at the Newtown and Chemung Battlefields (2016)
The inclusion of community is vital for the protection of historic sites. However, issues related to present day property rights, economic development, and historic struggles can present obstacles for integrating communities into a preservation project. The Revolutionary War’s Sullivan-Clinton campaign involves a complex history centered on the violent conflict between Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Delaware, and Continental forces. Historic tensions between the Haudenosaunee and the American and...
Mapping the Sacramento River in 1837 (2018)
The Sacramento River as it flows through the Carquinez Straits into San Francisco Bay is an imposing body of water. Ocean going ships could sail a considerable ways upstream. Whereas early Spanish explorers provided rough, schematic maps of the river as far back as 1824, the first professional mapping was accomplished by surveyors aboard HMS Sulphur, commanded by Captain Edward Belcher in 1837. However, the map resulting from this survey was never published. Recent research at the United Kingdom...
