The 2015 excavation of CSS Georgia yielded nearly 30 buttons spanning the time from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War. Uniform buttons played an important part of distinguishing between troops, duties, and rank in the military. Changes in design from year to year and manufacturer to manufacturer can inform researchers of the earliest date a button may have been used, where it was manufactured, and where the individual wearing it may have been located during his service. While sourced based...
Unintended Consequences of Digitalization in Archaeology: A Cautionary Tale (2018)
We are hurtling swiftly into the digital realm, finding faster and more complex ways to record and excavate sites, analyze data, and publish results. While most of this wave of increasing digitalization seems a good thing, all is never what it seems. In this paper, I explore some pitfalls of this ever speedier and efficient mode of archaeology. Most will recognize the oft described short lifespan of digital formats and the need to migrate data to new formats. But, it is highly unlikely that this...
The Unique Architecture of the Quarters for Enslaved African Americans at Belvoir (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology and Analysis of the Belvoir Quarter" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Unity in Diversity?: A Synthetic Approach to 21st-Century Historical Archaeology (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the past two decades, the practice of historical archaeology has expanded not only geographically, but also thematically and methodologically. In this paper, we first reflect on the different trajectories of growth in the discipline in North America and Europe, considering in particular the role of nationalism and identity politics, as well as...

UNL Campus Archaeology: Consumption Patterns in an Early Lincoln Neighborhood (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In June 1999, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) conducted a two-week salvage archaeology project during the early construction phase of a honors dormitory. Fourteen archaeological features were excavated from this historically residential area, one city block in size. The excavated archaeological materials consisted of a large number of glass bottles,...

The UNL Campus Archaeology project is focused on the analysis and assessment of historic collections from excavations carried out on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) campus between 1997 and 2001. The diverse materials recovered from these excavations date from around 1890-1930 and are...
Unloading History: Schooner-Barges, Self-Unloaders, and the Development of a Modern Maritime Landscape (2015)
Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the Great Lakes were at the center of rapid technological advancements in shipping and shipbuilding. The diverse demands for trade and unique geographic characteristics of the region created the necessity for highly specialized vessels and technologies. While the development of steam propulsion and use of metal hulls aided this progress, advancements in unloading systems helped propel shipping into the twentieth century. The emergence...
Unloading History: Self-Unloaders and the Evolution of Maritime Industrial Landscapes in the Great Lakes (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The development and design of self-unloading vessels in the first decades of the twentieth century was a relatively simple solution to meet the diverse demands of bulk cargo transportation in the Great Lakes. As such, self-unloaders were an important link between modern mechanized shipping and traditional methods of waterborne transport, helping propel the maritime industry into the...

Unnoticed All His Worth, a Dog Burial at the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (2017)
One dog (Canis lupus familiaris) was recovered from a six-sided wooden coffin among the human interments identified during the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery Removal Project of 2013. Milwaukee County used the cemetery (ca. 1880 – 1920) to bury people who died at institutions located on the country grounds or to bury individuals with survivors unable to afford burial elsewhere. The cemetery is contemporaneous with the establishment of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to...

Unraveling the Use of Yards: Synthesizing Data from Monticello’s North and South Yard Excavations (2016)
Over the past thirty years, archaeologists at Monticello have excavated portions of the lawns located on opposite sides of Thomas Jefferson’s home. To date, no comprehensive synthesis of the archaeological data from these excavations has been conducted. Because of the varied tasks undertaken in the structures adjacent to these yards, the areas on the North and South side of the mansion were functionally different. Comparative stratigraphic and ware-type analysis aim to expose stratigraphic...
Unroofed Great Kivas, Post-Chacoan Great Houses, and Aggregation: Kintigh's Legacy as Viewed from the Lion Mountain Community (2019)

He also inspired an enthusiasm for the use of statistics, particularly for ceramic typological...
Unroofed, Uprooted, and Unapologetic: Homelessness in Washington D.C. from 1890-1930 (2018)
Homelessness is a historically contingent condition of the Capitalist Mode of Production. Yet, it is often constructed as a contemporary problem arising from individual failures and misfortunes. Historically, homelessness has proven to be a fluid category, defying institutional definitions and mitigative strategies. In this paper, I explore the socio-economic phenomena of homelessness in Washington D.C. from ca. 1890-1930. Public and private institutions dedicated to converting the homeless into...
