Geophysics and Excavations at a Tribally Owned Heritage Site in the Red Wing Region, Southeastern Minnesota (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A multiyear collaborative process led to the Prairie Island Indian Community acquiring 120 contiguous acres containing two major villages and more than 90 known associated burial mounds on the north side of the Cannon River, near Red Wing, Minnesota. Archeologists have known about the site complex for more than 140 years, but other than partial mound...
Geophysics and Historical Archaeology: A Collaboration Between Two Departments (2016)
In June and July of 2015, Industrial Archaeologists from Michigan Technological University working with MTU's geophyics field school conducted field work that consisted of the use of ground penetrating radar, magnetometry, resistivity testing, and LIDAR, to help identify the location of features associated with the earliest African American pioneers of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This poster details the process and discusses the findings.
George Dixon: Personal artifacts of H.L. Hunley’s enigmatic captain. (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Lives Revealed: Interpreting the Human Remains and Personal Artifacts from the Civil War Submarine H. L. Hunley" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. George E. Dixon was the last captain of the H.L. Hunley submarine. He was the most famous member of the crew during the historic events surrounding the submarine’s sinking of USS Housatonic, but many details of his life remain a mystery. This paper will take a...
George Toasts George? (It’s Complicated): 'G.R.' Mugs and the Changing Identity of the Washington Family from Loyal Brits to Revolutionaries (2018)
The presence of ‘G.R.’ drinking vessels on mid-eighteenth century archaeological sites in Virginia is typically nothing to write home about… unless the sites in question are associated with individuals who were to become significant figures in the American Revolution. ‘G.R.’ vessels have been recovered from George Washington’s boyhood home at Ferry Farm, and Kenmore, his sister Betty’s home with her husband Fielding Lewis, a financier of the Revolution. Like most colonists, they viewed...
Geospatial Analysis of the Highbourne Cay Shipwreck Maritime Landscape (2018)
In archaeology, context is key. Advanced technology allows the expansion of accurate site context from in situ artifact assemblages to globally geo-referenced datasets. Custom aerial imagery over the Highbourne Cay littoral zone facilitated the creation of tailored orthomosaics and digital elevation models. Blended with bathymetry from underwater imaging, manually acquired data points, and public datasets, this geospatial analysis of the Highbourne Cay shipwreck littoral zone provides the most...
A Geospatial and Statistical Analysis of North Carolina’s First World War Naval Battlescape (2018)
Although the United States was late to enter into the First World War, the waters of the nation became a battlefield by the summer of 1918. Ships operating along North Carolina’s coast recurrently fell victim to the unrestricted U-boat campaign. This paper presents a historical and archaeological study of compiled records of all vessels, infrastructure, civilians, and combatants lost, damaged, or attacked in war-related incidents. This study employs Geographical Information System (GIS) software...

German Gravemarkers and Cultural Retention (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Germans from the Palatinate region in Germany continually immigrated to various regions of the United States from the 1720s until 1910s. Particularly significant regions are Western Pensylvania, the Missouri River Valley in Central Missouri, and the Dakotas. By comparing gravestone symbology and inscriptions in these three regions, I was...
German POWs in Colorado: The Archaeology of Confinement at Camp Trinidad (2015)
From 1943 to 1946, the U.S. government held over 3,000 German POWs at Camp Trinidad in southern Colorado. In 2013, archaeological fieldwork and research was conducted in order to better understand the daily lives of those incarcerated within the conformity of institutional confinement. The information gathered, in the form of artifacts, environmental features, and personal narratives, has uncovered stories about those that used them and has allowed for the development of lesser known details of...
Germanna Lives: Site Lives (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The stories of our sites matter. Archaeology sites having a “history” of preservation are most often wrapped up in a context rife with privilege. Alexander Spotswood’s 1720s “Enchanted Castle” in Orange County, Virginia, can easily be viewed through this lens. The Germanna Foundation is re-examining the Enchanted Castle Site and the early 18th century community once known as...
Germs Never Sleep! The Polluted Nature of Womanhood as Expressed Through Vaginal Douching (2013)
In the last 15 years, an increasing number of scholarly articles and cultural resource technical reports have recognized douching paraphernalia in archaeological contexts. While these analyses contribute to a greater understanding of this behavior douching among women in the past for contraceptive purposes from brothel contexts has been heavily emphasized. Between the mid 19th and 20th centuries vaginal douching gained popularity as a general increase in health and sanitation reforms were...
Get out and walk: A reflection on a walking survey conducted in the Fleet River Valley, Kirkcudbrightshire, Dumfries and Galloway Scotland. (2013)
Information technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information systems have and are changing the way we view archaeological sites. Historical archaeologists and more specifically those who work in remote, rural, and/or areas of continued agricultural production are finding some of these technologies invaluable. However, I still believe that a good old walking survey armed with a paper map and compass (and GPS and digital camera) is, for me, the best way to get a handle on what or...
Getting Burned: Fire, Politics, and Cultural Landscapes in the American West (2015)
The National Historic Landmark town of Jacksonville, Oregon is celebrated for its nineteenth century past. While saloons, hotels, and shops survive as testament to the days of the Oregon gold rush, the selective preservation of the built environment has created a romanticized frontier landscape. A sleepy park now covers the once bustling Chinese Quarter, which burned to the ground in 1888. Recent public archaeology excavations revealed the remains of a burned building, and led to a fruitful...
Getting By on East Fork of Indian Creek: Archaeology of Early Twentieth City Life in Eastern Kentucky (2017)
This paper presents recent excavations at two domestic sites in Menifee County, Kentucky. Information on site structure and material culture were obtained from the excavations, and combined with data from documentary and oral history sources. The area, now fairly remote due to its position with the Daniel Boone National Forest, was once well connected as the end of the line of a logging railroad, and a community nucleus with a school, possibly a commissary type store, and railroad-based mail...
“Getting Long in the Tooth” at the Bethel Cemetery: A Paleoepidemiological Analysis of Dental Disease (2023)
This is an abstract from the "The Bethel Cemetery Relocation Project: Historical, Osteological, and Material Culture Analyses of a Nineteenth-Century Indiana Cemetery" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Building on our prior paleodemographic research as part of the Bethel Cemetery Relocation Project, this study examines the patterns of dental disease and rates of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) across the three periods of interment and...
Getting Them Home: Crossing the Borders, From Field to Lab (2017)
The mission of DPAA is to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing service-personnel from past conflicts. This mandate requires the transportation of biological materials, including human skeletal and dental remains, from archaeological field locations and unilateral turnovers to DPAA laboratory facilities in Hawaii and Nebraska. DPAA archaeological investigation, survey, and excavation sites are located across the globe, and the movement of these materials oftentimes involves...
Getting to the Bottom of the Barrel: A Fresh Look at Some Old Features from Albany’s Big Digs (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1998, Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc., excavated 3 small late-eighteenth century barrel features in downtown Albany. Wooden barrels were commonly used as liners for wells, privies, and sumps, however these three pits were unusual in that they were located on the interior of the...
Getting to the Source: Copper Characterization, Prehistory, and the question of Interpretation (2017)
One cannot truly "source" the raw material of an artifact back to its geologic origin. One can chemically characterize an artifact's raw materia,l to a degree, to make an interpretation as to its likeliest point of origin. As we are dealing with a completely heterogeneous material - copper - archaeologists can only best guess the likely geologic source for the cultural artifacts they are testing. The chemical differentiation of distinct geologic deposits of native copper has been well...
Getting Your ‘Kicks’?: An Investigation of Historic Route 66 in Petrified Forest National Park (2018)
It is nearly impossible to consider the heyday of traditional Americana, waxing nostalgic about the "good old days" of early travel and tourism in the United States, without thinking about Route 66. Sean Scanlan writes that "…memory and history are separate categories of thought—the former a system of retrieval, the latter a discourse on retrieval—and that nostalgia is the sorry cousin of various ways of retrieving a memory". This begs the question— what was Route 66 really like during its glory...

Ghost Road: Tracing El Camino Viejo Through Southern California (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Roads, Rivers, Rails and Trails (and more): The Archaeology of Linear Historic Properties" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The study of historic roads in the North American West is a complex process. Pragmatic issues of scale, accessibility, and preservation are accompanied by aspects of interpretation and meaning. This is particularly evident in southern California, where the vast physical transformations...
Ghostly Narratives: Haunted Tourism at Colonial Park Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia (2016)
This paper examines material culture as well as the ghost tourism of Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. Colonial Park is a hot spot not only for ghostly activity but also for stops on numerous Savannah walking ghost tours. However, the information presented on many ghost tours often ignores or alters the history of the cemetery. The tours often embellish certain events, such as the 1820 yellow fever epidemic, but perhaps more importantly, they ignore aspects of the cemetery’s history,...
Ghosts in the Archives: Using Archaeology to Return Life to Historical Prostitutes (2016)
Studies in historical prostitution are uniquely poised to demonstrate the importance of partnership between historians and archaeologists. Sites of prostitution may be present in the historical literature; however, the transience of the women employed at these sites means that they often leave ephemeral traces in the written record. Though typically unable to illustrate individual actors within these sites, archaeology can help to reanimate the everyday lives of women in sex work. Using the...
