2,651-2,675 (10,500 Records)
The presence of beverage alcohol containers and smoking pipes recovered from Fort Yamhill and Fort Hoskins is undeniable evidence for the consumption of such indulgence items at these two military posts. The historical and archival record is not only laden with evidence of this behavior but also suggests that these forts were punctuated by periods of the institutional acceptance and prohibition concerning the consumption of alcohol. The spatial distribution of the alcohol related artifacts...
Delineating Ancestral Tribal Territories in Western Washington Based on Flawed Interpretations of Historic Records and Archaeology: A Review of Contemporary Practices and Consequences (2015)
Historians and anthropologists have reviewed the history of problems associated with delineating tribes and tribal territories in Western Washington, noting often uncritical acceptance of historic records at face value, such as failure to consider the context, goals, and cultural viewpoints of those generating records. Such problems, unfortunately, persist in contemporary contexts where tribes create fictional histories to accommodate modern political and economic goals. Here I review flawed...
Democracy, Diversity, and Race: Interpreting humanities to the public through context of place at Jamestown (2018)
Jamestown Rediscovery’s museum and exhibits center on archaeological discoveries in and around 1607 James Fort, the first permanent English settlement in the new world. In addition, Jamestown is notable as the meeting place of the first representative government, the arrival of enslaved Africans, and for Virginia Indians. While the locations where these historic events took place do not change, the landscape often does, thus providing challenges to the communication of cultural concepts on the...

Dendrochronology at Ash Lawn-Highland (2016)
Over the last few decades, dendrochronology, or the science of tree-ring dating, has become a widely used tool for dating historic houses. In 2014, a comprehensive dendrochronological study was launched at Ash Lawn-Highland in order to establish a dated framework for the various phases of construction at the main house. This paper discusses the results of that study and its effect on the interpretation of the house and its surrounding landscape.
Dentistry as Social Discourse: Aspects of Oral Health and Consumer Choice using a Bioarchaeological Perspective (2016)
This study examines the presence (or absence) of professional dental restorative work in the form of fillings, crowns, bridges, or even full sets of dentures, using an integrative biocultural approach. The dataset is derived from an intensive survey of historic cemeteries subjected to bioarchaeological analyses, and include differences in geography (urban versus rural), gender, race/ethnicity, age, and commensurate socioeconomic levels. Since restorative dental work was both expensive and...
Department of Defense and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Curation Options Project, Eastern States (Legacy 97-0376)

Department of Defense and US Army Corps of Engineers Curation Options Project, Eastern States (2001)
This report examines various options for the curation of archaeological materials that are stewarded by the Department of Defense (DoD). Archaeological materials have been generated by over 50 years of archaeological investigations required by law, and many collections have been gathered from lands held by the DoD and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Adequate curation of these collections is mandated by federal regulations, most importantly 36 CFR Part 79—Curation of Federally-Owned and...
Department of Defense and US Army Corps of Engineers Curation Options Project, Western and Mid-Atlantic States (1999)
At the request of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Environmental Quality) and the Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Corps’ St. Louis District performed a study of curation institutions in 20 western and two mid-Atlantic states. The goal of the project, called the Curation Options project, was to identify one institution in each state that has the capability and the interest to potentially partner with the federal government for the purpose of curating archaeological materials...

Department of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command, Environment Assessment, Fiscal Year 1980, Relocation of the Ballast House at Blossom Point, Maryland (1979)
The proposed action is in response to the threat that the bank supporting the Ballast House, on the edge of the Nanjemoy Creek, may collapse and dump the historic structure into the water. The Ballast House is located on the southernmost tip of Cedar Point Neck. The bluff on which the house stands rises approximately thirty feet above the level of the water. The bank is unprotected from both wind and water erosion. Noticeable bank erosion first occurred in 1975 and a precarious position for the...
Department of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command, Environmental Impact Assessment, Land Acquisition at Blossom Point, Maryland, MCA Project, Fiscal Year 1979 (1977)
This project is for the purchase of land in Blossom Point, Maryland which is currently leased by the Government for use by the Harry Diamond Laboratories (HDL) as a field test area, part of which is utilized through an out-grant from HDL to the Navy for use by the Navy as a communication station to contact earth satellites. The property owners do not wish to continue this lease, therefore the Government in consideration of the cost and factors involved in clearing the land of unexploded...
Depicting the Slow Violence of Colonialism in Rural Yucatán, Mexico (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Reckoning with Violence" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Rob Nixon’s concept of slow violence helps to explain the impact of colonialism on rural livelihoods in Yucatán, Mexico. However, is a violence framework useful to those who face colonialism’s long-term consequences? This paper considers the resources and tools that residents of a Yucatecan town have at their disposal when advocating for their...
Deptford Settlement in South Carolina (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Deptford has been construed as a phase with a time-space-content connotation that incorporates aspects of pottery and adaptation. Recently, we examined regional settlement by considering Deptford phase site distributions and radiometric dates. In this study, we take our analysis a step further by constructing ceramic seriations for sub-regions in which...
Describing and Attributing Early Oyster Jars (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Oyster jars represent a unique form of ceramic storage vessel that was commonly used in Manhattan to store and transport oysters during the late 18th and early 19th century. In 2018 I initiated a study to better understand this form and attempt to attribute extant jars to specific potters or potteries. The basis of the study was a detailed analysis of physical characteristics for all...
