ESRI Story Maps are a new strategy for combining geographic information with text, images and multimedia content in an easily shareable web interface. The technique is especially useful for presenting historic archaeology to the public, as archaeological and archival data can be juxtaposed to present a more complete story. In this presentation we will exhibit the story map created for the Beech Grove area of the Mill Springs Battlefield and discuss its potential as a public archaeology tool. ...

Straight from the Horse's Mouth: Understanding Public Archaeology from the Public (2018)
For the past two decades, archaeologists have worked to engage members of the public in archaeological research, preservation, and interpretation. Because of the huge variety in the types of publics engaged in these projects and the approaches of the archaeologists running them, we are continually refining our methods of public archaeology implementation, execution, and evaluation. Despite this variety, we rarely hear directly from program participants. For this panel we have invited public...
The Strange and Terrible Tale of the Davenport Iowa Danish Hall Site: A Lesson in Urban Archaeology from the Farm State (2017)
The Davenport Danish Hall was considered eligible for the NRHP under Criterion A for its "association with the Danish ethnic population in Davenport, and with the history of city politics, specifically the impact of the Socialist Party in the 1920s." This structure was scheduled for demolition to allow for the construction of a new apartment complex as part of the redevelopment of downtown Davenport. As part of the mitigation, a small 30 x 50 ft parcel behind the structure was scheduled for...
"A Strange Sort of Warfare Underground": Mines and Countermines on the Petersburg Front, 1864 (2016)
Petersburg, Virginia, is known for the mine explosion that destroyed a Confederate fort and initiated the Battle of the Crater. This was not the only mining effort on the siege line. Even before the July 30, 1864, explosion, the Confederate defenders of Petersburg constructed countermines in places where the terrain was susceptible to underground enemy approaches. The use of LIDAR imagery, map and photographic analysis, documentary research and field survey has revealed two extensive sets of...
Strangers in a Strange Land: The Lake Koshkonong Oneota Locality in Context (2017)
The distribution of Oneota sites in Wisconsin has long been recognized as clustered within distinct areas referred to as Localities. At least seven localities are now generally accepted by Oneota researchers in Wisconsin; several others appear to exist in northern Illinois. However, recent research at the Lake Koshkonong locality shows that it stands as a distinctive outlier among all of the other localities. It is unique in terms of landscape patterns, subsistence strategies, distance from...
Strategic Planning for the Web: Goals, Objectives and Tactics for Communicating Heritage (2013)
Archaeologists have been early adopters of digital technologies relative to other heritage-related professions. But how often are their online communications initiatives informed by audience-based strategic intention? The pervasiveness of online tools makes engagement ever easier, and as a result, a less meaningful measure of influence. Conversely, planning for digital communications is often an uncomfortable and intensive process that results in more effective online initiatives by clarifying...

STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS AT 32DU179 AND 32GF123, NORTH DAKOTA (1990)
Pollen samples were analyzed from two sites in Dunn and Grand Forks County, North Dakota, to identify paleoenvironmental conditions. Site 32DU179, located a few miles north of the Little Missouri River in the southwest corner of the Fort Berthold Reservation, was sampled stratigraphically for pollen. The soil strata were relatively thin at this site, so a single pollen sample was collected from each stratum. The stratigraphic record is incomplete, however, as the contacts between...
STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THE LIGHTNING SPRING SITE, NORTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA (1993)
Ten stratigraphic samples were examined from the Lightning Spring Site to provide information concerning the vegetation communities of this area during the McKean occupation (before 4000 BP) and between that time and the present. Single stratigraphic samples were examined from each of the strata exhibiting evidence of McKean occupation. In addition, single samples were examined from two Middle to Late Archaic occupation strata, and a Late Prehistoric occupation stratum immediately below the...

Streaking and Straight Pins: Constructing Masculinity on an Antebellum College Campus (2016)
The myth of the "Southern gentleman" permeates the modern imagination of the historic American South. This archetype is simultaneously "other" and "normative": the concept is saturated in an air of mystery and deep, foreign tradition, yet is often set against studies of traditional American "others" such as women, immigrants, and enslaved peoples. Recent excavations at Graham Hall, an all-male antebellum dormitory on Washington & Lee University’s campus in Lexington, VA, have uncovered a rich,...
Streamlining the process: using handheld devices for in-field data collection on Ossabaw Island, Georgia. (2017)
The last few years has seen a rise in the development of tools and technology that enable the collection of archaeological data directly into electronic formats using handheld devices such as tablets and smartphones. These applications not only eliminate traditional paper collection issues but also decrease in-field collection errors and reduce post-processing times. This poster will focus on the utilization of Petroglyph, an application specifically developed for the first phase of a research...
Streets of Royalty: African-American Music and Memorialization in West Baltimore (2018)
Popular music heritage holds a meaningful place in public memory and in the construction of social identities. Sites associated with musical legacies that have significant meaning to a community are often memorialized to emphasize their connection with a particular place. This paper explores the relationship between music, heritage, and placemaking in the historic African-American neighborhood of West Baltimore, where decades of racism, economic decline, and failed urban-renewal plans have...

Strike the Bell!: Creation of a Diagnostic Database of Known Early Ship's Bells (2018)
Ship's bells have long held the fascination of laypeople and scholars alike. Despite this fascination, little information is known about the earleist ship's bells from the 14th through the end of the 17th century. While numerous archaeological examples do exist, these either lack provenance, are fragmented, or do not follow a standarized method for analysis, making diagnostic comparisons exceedingly difficult or impossible. Recognizing this problem, the authors have undertaken the creation of a...

"A Stronghold Of Rebellion:" Confederate Defense Of The Central Gulf Coast During The Civil War (2016)
When the South seceded from the Union in 1861, cotton was the currency they believed would fuel the war effort and bring Britain as an ally to the Southern cause. Maintenance of two of the critical ports of the antebellum cotton trade, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama was key to the Confederacy's survival and ultimately to its failure. Archaeological investigations at the site of the river defenses in the Mississippi River delta confirmed historical accounts leading to the fall of...
Strontium Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis of the Loma Sandia Archaic Period Mortuary Site of South Texas (2017)
Models of hunter-gatherer territoriality are derived from the ethnographic record but have rarely been directly evaluated with archaeological data. Mortuary sites on the Texas Coastal Plain have long been thought of as a product of hunter-gatherer territoriality. Strontium stable isotope ratios from human tooth enamel can be used to estimate the origin of individuals and can evaluate evidence for territoriality. This paper will report the results of strontium stable isotope ratios analyzed from...
Structural Analysis of the Warwick (2013)
The remains of the Warwick are one of the largest and most coherent fragments of an early 17th century English ship. Notwithstanding the historical designation of the vessel as the "magazine" ship, the Warwick was far from being an ordinary freighter. As the analysis of its structurecontinues, it appears this ship was a finely crafted and finished vessel and a powerful fighting machine. It was built in a more traditional style, perhaps a style going back to such notable examples as the Mary...
