Public Underwater Archaeology: Public Perception VS. Plausible Reality in the Case of the CSS Pee Dee Cannon Raising. (2017)
Managing the expectations of the public and the timeline in which many expect archaeology to happen is a challenge for every public archaeological organization. When you add the underwater component and restrictions related to maritime law, public perception and plausible reality often conflict. The raising of the CSS Pee Dee Canons serves as an example of mitigating multiple agencies as well as making underwater archaeology visible. This crossover also highlights many of the problems with...
Public Use of Beach Shipwrecks on African Shores (2017)
Shipwrecks on African beaches serve as archaeological field training sites, history classrooms for school children, tourist hiking, horse riding or driving trails, as fashion show props and as outdoor studios for film productions. Public uses of beach shipwrecks, often more accessible than underwater sites, has potential to enhance appreciation and management of global maritime heritage. This paper presents case studies in South Africa, Namibia and the Transkei. Examples include Kakapo (1900)...
Public vs. Private in the Domestic Spaces of the Enslaved: Yards and their Uses at Kingsley Plantation, Jacksonville, Florida, 1814-1860 (2016)

Yards provided the settings for activities tied...
Publications in Salvage Archeology, 11: La Roche Sites (1968)
The La Roche sites are located near the southern boundary of Stanley County, South Dakota, where the Missouri River, flowing to the east, makes a 90-degree turn to the south (Fig. 1). At this point, the high bluffs on the right bank of the river swing back and reveal a small, fertile floodplain known as the La Roche Bottoms. Prior to inundation in 1964, this bottom land and adjacent terrace contained the La Roche sites. Among these was 39ST9, one of the largest aboriginal occupations in the...

Publications in Salvage Archeology, 3: The Hitchell Site (1967)
The Hitchell Site is one of a group of major village and burial areas excavated by the Smithsonian Institution and cooperating agencies within the Fort Randall Reservoir on the mainstem of the Missouri River in south-central South Dakota. Field investigations of one sort or another were completed at a substantial number of sites but, unfortunately, only a few were extensively excavated. Funds for salvage archeology were sharply limited and personnel were thinly spread so that, inevitably,...
Publications in Salvage Archeology, 4: Molstad Village (1967)
The Molstad Village report, by J. J. Hoffman, provides a comprehensive analysis of the Chouteau Aspect (Extended Coalescent Horizon), an important group of complexes that foreshadow the historic period within the Middle Missouri area. The generic "La Roche" development, which includes the Chouteau Aspect, is the most widespread of the archeological horizons presently recognized within the Middle Missouri. At the same time, the constituent complexes have been thought to be characterized by a...
Publications in Salvage Archeology, 7: Arikara Archeology: the Bad River Phase (1968)
The Oahe Dam vicinity, just upstream from Pierre, South Dakota, was particularly rich in archeological remains. Few areas of similar size in the Missouri Basin exemplify so well the accomplishment of the Inter-agency Archeological and Paleontological Salvage Program. Five major archeological sites were located on the right bank of the Missouri less than a mile and a half above or below the axis of the dam, and a sixth (39HU22) lay across the river on the left bank (Fig. 20). All were...
Publications in Salvage Archeology, 8: The Two Teeth Site (1968)
The Two Teeth Site (39BF204) is situated on the left, or northeast, bank of the Missouri River in Buffalo County, South Dakota (Fig. 1; Pl. la), about three miles west of Fort Thompson, the administrative center of the Crow Creek Indian Reservation. The site lies on a minor terrace a few feet above the heavily wooded flood plain that, prior to inundation by the Big Bend Reservoir, formed an important element in the regional ecology. The area of occupation shows negligible relief but it has a...
Publications in Salvage Archeology, 9: Big Bend Historic Sites (1968)
Historic sites within and near the Big Bend Reservoir area of South Dakota have been listed in a compilation of documentary evidence, prepared for the National Park Service by Ray H. Mattison (1962). The work is one of a series of special reports on historic sites and features of various reservoir areas of the Missouri Basin. Correlated archeological salvage operations conducted by the River Basin Surveys, Smithsonian Institution, yielded material evidence for some of these Big Bend historic...
Publishing Unprovenanced Artifacts (2017)
The recent growth in volume and complexity of the illicit antiquities trade is documented, and links have been established between it and criminal activities, such as money laundering, extortion, drug and arms trading, terrorism, insurgency, and slavery. In 2011 Neil Brodie argued that "academic expertise is indispensable for the efficient functioning of the [illicit antiquities] trade," but the authors argue that a full ban on the study of unprovenanced artifacts is unacceptable from a...

Pulpits and Bones: African-American Vistas of Action, Innovation, and Tradition (2018)
The cultural landscapes of African-American communities in the nineteenth century were often anchored with a church, cemetery, and school. Sectarian and secular dynamics interacted in shaping the terrains of those social networks. This presentation explores such developments in the impacts of religious beliefs, practices, and congregations on the strategic locations and configurations of churches and cemeteries before and after the Civil War, with a focus on the Midwest region. For example, the...

A Purposeful Unpatterning: A Spatial Approach to Maroon Settlement in Florida (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "African Diaspora in Florida" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the colonial era, Spanish Florida built a reputation as a refuge for self-liberated people escaping from slavery. However, following the Treaty of Paris, Florida’s governance was in turmoil and the Maroons’ freedom was under constant threat. Florida Maroons were constantly on the move. Consequently, a low density of materials, deficiency of...

"Pushing Against a Stone": Landscape, Generational Breadth, and Community-Oriented Archaeological Approaches in the Plantation Chesapeake (2016)
By the antebellum era enslaved communities across large tidewater Chesapeake plantations boasted deep temporal and broadly dispersed roots, enjoining residents across quarters through bonds of kinship and camaraderie that often transcended plantation boundaries. Broad cross-plantation neighborhoods encompassed mosaics of significant places suffused with notions of community and grounded in generational investments in labor and experience, places and ties that often retain value to present-day...
