This is an abstract from the "Openness & Sensitivity: Practical Concerns in Taking Archaeological Data Online" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In Cultural Resources Management, many archaeological survey projects are undertaken through contract services provided to regional federal clients with large-scale resource evaluation needs.

Rest in Peace: Protecting Historic Cemeteries from Natural Disasters (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In October 2018, Hurricane Michael hit the Gulf Coast of Florida. The impact from this storm was more devastating and widespread than anyone had anticipated. Not only were coastal communities severely impacted, but the reach of the storm was felt all the way into Southern Georgia. Countless historical and archaeological sites were impacted, including many historic cemeteries. Over time...
Restaurants, Businesses, and Graveyards: Mapping the "Resettlement" of Japanese Americans in Chicago, 1943-1950 (2017)
The forced dislocation of West Coast Japanese Americans to incarceration camps during WWII deeply affected community formation, leadership, and livelihoods. The dislocation had barely been carried out when the War Relocation Authority (WRA) conceived and put into action a program of controlled (re)movement east. This "resettlement" did not play out as administrators had hoped. This paper traces the resettlement of Japanese Americans in Chicago during and immediately after the war (1943-1950),...
Restoration and Archeology at San Jacinto: Dividing Legend from Fact through Dialogue (2018)
The Battle of San Jacinto resulted in the defeat of Mexico and the establishment of the Texas Republic in 1836 against overwhelming odds. The site, however, has been altered by the many commemorative contributions, landscape modifications, ground subsidence, and park operations. These have made interpretaion of this decisive battle difficult. It is only through archeology and environmental restoration projects that park interpreters are able to create historically correct vistas. The...

Resuscitating a Dying City: Instilling Pride Through Public History and Archaeology (2018)
Palatka is dying. This is not a metaphor or an over-dramatic attempt to garner pity: Census reports show that more people are moving out of the city or dying than are moving in or being born. In August of 2017 the Washington Post came down to write an obituary on the quiet river town that was once known as the Gem of the St. Johns River. Buried in the ground and in dusty books in the historic society's museum are testaments to the city's rich historic and prehistoric past, yet few if any...
Rethinking "Frontiers" from a French Colonial Perspective (2017)
A societal "frontier" is always a relational concept. What looks like a periphery, whether imagined as a line or a zone, from one vantage point may from another look like an invaded heartland. The diverse nature of French colonialism in North America suggests the complexity of frontiers it induced. I review my 1981 article, "Frontiers and Archaeology," with perspective gained across thirty-five years, to consider whether the frontier concept has any current utility for the archaeology of French...
Rethinking Colonialism: Indigenous Innovation, Colonial Inevitability and the Struggle for Dignity, Past and Present (2013)
This paper argues for a rethinking of colonialism as an historical process in which overwhelming European power resulted in the extinction of indigenous peoples. Instead this suggests that a different history unfolded in which indigenous peoples demonstrated great innovation and cultural perseverance in not succumbing to the inevitability inherent in the political discourse of the past two hundred years. Colonialism clearly resulted in struggles over territory, sovereignty and cultural identity,...
Rethinking Mississippian Migration and Frontier Settlement in Southwest Virginia, USA (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Seeing Migrant and Diaspora Communities Archaeologically: Beyond the Cultural Fixity/Fluidity Binary" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Fifteen years of excavations at the Carter Robinson mound site in southwestern Virginia, USA, have documented a case of immigration, settlement, and transformation at the extreme edge of the Mississippian world. Recovered cultural material suggests residents were nonlocal Mississippians...

A Retrospect of Deptford in South Carolina (2018)
The label Deptford has long been synonymous with both a Woodland Period pottery type and a coastally oriented subsistence-residential adaptation. The former culture-historical terminology dates to 1939, while the latter concept is attributed to Milanich following his work on the Georgia coast in the early 1970s. Deptford also has been construed as a phase with a time-space-content connotation that incorporates aspects of both pottery and adaptation. Regardless of the specific meaning the term...
A Retrospective Look At The Material Culture Of The Leonard Calvert Site (2018)
Since Historic St. Mary’s City began its investigations at the Leonard Calvert site in 1980, a remarkable suite of material culture has emerged from this premier colonial site. This presentation looks back over some of the artifacts recovered and provides some context for a number of the more remarkable objects. Ceramics, tobacco pipes, small finds, and glassware are all represented. Ceramics include Dutch tin glazed earthenware, Rhenish stoneware, and tiles, while glass includes façon de...
The Return of the Large Enigmatic Pit: Investigating Off-Mound Areas at Pumpkin Lake (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Pumpkin Lake (22JE517) mound in the Natchez Bluffs region of southwestern Mississippi was excavated as part of the Mississippi Mound Trail project in 2013. The single mound was determined to have been constructed during the Middle Woodland and early Late Woodland periods (AD 200–750). During the summer of 2022, we returned to assess the extent of...
Return to Antikythera (2017)
In 1900, Greek sponge divers stumbled upon what was to become one of themost iconic and fabulous shipwrecks ever found in the Mediterranean close to the tiny Greek Island of Antikythera- the Antikythera shipwreck. Over the course of several perilous months of diving, despite numerous episodes of the bends and a fatality, the divers recovered a treasure of Classical bronze and marble statuary and the famous Antikythera Mechanism- the world's oldest known mechanical computer. Since 2013,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "African Diaspora in Florida" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, or Fort Mose, was a fortified settlement established in 1738 by the Spanish governor of Florida, and populated by recently self-emancipated Africans as a defensive element to the town of St. Augustine. The earliest free African town in what is now the United States, Mose was attacked and destroyed by the...
Return to Martin’s Hundred: The Archaeology of a Mid-Seventeenth Century Virginia Houselot (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeological Research of the 17th Century Chesapeake" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In March of 1622, nearly a third of Virginia’s English population was killed in a surprise attack by the local Powhatan with the goal of hampering the English expansion efforts, and to reassert their supremacy over the newcomers. Martin’s Hundred, a fortified settlement founded by the English four years earlier, and...
