Chawan and Yunomi: Japanese Tablewares Recovered from Three Issei Communities in the American West (2017)
Japanese-manufactured ceramics from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been recovered from a variety of archaeological sites throughout Western North America, but large collections and in-depth analyses of pre-World War II assemblages are still relatively rare. As a result, standardized formal, temporal, and functional typologies are only just emerging and site comparisons are often difficult. This paper presents a synthesis of ceramic data from three west coast sites...

Chemical Mapping in Marine Archaeology: Defining Site Characteristics from Passive Environmental Sensors. (2017)
Remote sensing in a marine environment has expanded quickly over the last decade, seeing the emergence of technology that was only dreamed of over a century ago (Verne 1870). It is with the emergence and consistent operation of marine technology that we see innovative and dynamic use of sensors to discover methods that can help to explore and define the resources we discover and investigate. Studies into the effect that the environment has on archaeological sites has been a particular focus...

"Cherry-Picking" the Material Record of Border Crossings: Artifact Selection and Narrative Construction Among Non-Migrants (2015)

The Children's Frontier: The Relationship Between the American Frontier Perspective and the Material Culture of Children (2016)
The cultural perspective that developed out of the American West during the expansionary period (1850-1900) is viewed as the product of adults.

While the physical and social frontier impacted the adult, their cultural perspective was closely linked to the eastern United States. In contrast, children of the frontier matured in an environment that was at odds with eastern...
