9,851-9,875 (10,497 Records)
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the British Crown viewed the Caribbean as the geographical hub within which it would be able to obtain key resources and to challenge the growing power of the Spanish Empire. In 1742, Augusta was established as a British military outpost on Roatán Island, Honduras, because of its strategic location across the Bay of Honduras from the Spanish settlement of Trujillo. In this paper, I use the term "royalization" to refer to the strategies employed by...

"Top Secret" Maritime Archaeology: Preliminary Investigations on the San Pablo, Sunk During an OSS Operation in Pensacola, Florida in 1944 (2013)
As one of the many popular diving spots in Northwest Florida, divers have been visiting the site of the San Pablo for decades. Little was known about the vessel's history until recent research revealed the large, steel-hulled freighter was sunk in a top secret OSS operation known as Project Campbell. The project involved the development of a disguised, remote-controlled vessel carrying explosives capable of attacking and sinking enemy vessels, and it was intended to be deployed during the...
Tornadoes as an Impetus of Social Change in the Eastern United States (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mississippian and related sedentary settlements in the eastern United States often appear unstable in the archaeological record. The eastern US is also in the most tornadically active area on earth. Tornadoes have been an impetus of settlement and social change in both the historic and modern era. Using 50 years of data collected by the National Weather...

The Virginia Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI) is...
Tour de Fort: Lessons on Assessment (2018)
Since 2011, the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) has partnered with the National Park Service staff at Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) to develop and implement a public program called Tour de Fort. This guided bicycling tour was created by FPAN with the goal to promote the public appreciation for the many terrestrial and underwater archaeological resources located within the GUIS Fort Pickens Area. Additionally, from the beginning this program set out to enhance heritage tourism...
Toward a 3D James Fort: The Opportunities for Digital Heritage at Jamestown (2017)
Digital technologies are creating new ways to record, interpret, and present archaeological data. GIS and other technologies have long been part of the approach to field recording and data management for the Jamestown Rediscovery project, which has been ongoing since 1994. With approximately 80% of the original 3-sided fort excavated to date, the timing is opportune for exploring new approaches, like 3D modeling, for analyzing and interpreting James Fort. Creating 3D models of the site will...

Toward a New Understanding of the French & Indian War: Implications of the Fort Hyndshaw Massacre (2016)
The discovery of a hitherto undocumented massacre site has prompted a radical reinterpretation of the French & Indian War in northeastern Pennsylvania. Following the extermination of the missionary populations at Gnadenhutten and Dansbury, this third massacre of Moravian women and children has established a pattern best explained in the context of a Delaware Indian/Moravian "religious war" whose proximate cause can be traced to the earthquake of 18 November 1755 – the single largest earthquake...
Toward an Archaeology of French Settlement in the Arkansas River Valley: Chasing the Arkansas Post in the Documentary and Archaeological Records. (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Comparative Perspectives on European Colonization in the Americas: Papers in Honor of Réginald Auger" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1686, while in an attempt to rendezvous with René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, Henri de Tonti established the "Poste de Arkansea" at the Quapaw village of Osotouy. Garrisoned by a handful of adventurers, the Arkansas Post was the first ‘semi-permanent’ French...
Toward an Archaeology of Self-Liberation (2017)
Hierarchical, capitalist society, though inherently domineering and oppressive, creates spaces for self-actualization. These spaces, most often transitory and short-lived, allow for a degree of class-based self-liberation. Using ideas from anarchist thinkers, I explore the concept of self-liberation with specific reference to two archaeological sites: the seventeenth-century maroon community of Palmares in northeast Brazil, and a nineteenth-century tenant-farming community in central Ireland...
Toward the Remote Identification of Stone Tools in Submerged, Buried Contexts Using Acoustics (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the inception of geophysical survey, archaeologists have longed for the ability to detect the presence or absence of artifacts in buried contexts remotely. This ability is particularly desirable underwater, where accuracy in site location and efficiency in excavation are paramount given the expense and logistical burden associated with performing...
Towasa Diaspora: Ignoring the European Presence as a Response to Colonization (2015)
Discovery of a small Muskogee-tradition component at site 1BA664, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in Orange Beach, Alabama, is tentatively identified as a fishing and hunting camp of the Towasas, radiocarbon dated to ca. 1700. Propelled westward by British and Creek slaving raids in 1705 that destroyed their towns in north Florida, the Towasas have never before been linked to an archaeological site assemblage. Artifacts from site 1BA664 suggest minimal acquisition of European technology, despite...
Town and Country: New Philadelphia, Illinois and Social Dynamics Over the Urban-Rural Divide (2018)
The Louisa McWorter home site provides a rare opportunity to explore social dynamics and community relations within the 19th century integrated town of New Philadelphia, Illinois. Louisa, an African-American woman freed from slavery as a child, married one of the sons of town founders Frank and Lucy McWorter. Widowed early in her marriage, Louisa became legal head of household and owner of multiple lots in New Philadelphia as well as several hundred acres of farmland. My historical and...
Town and Gown: Foodways in Antebellum Chapel Hill, NC (2016)
Chartered in 1789 and enrolling students in 1795, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of three schools that claims the title of oldest public university in the United States. Despite this storied history, relatively little is known about the lives of antebellum university and Chapel Hill residents, particularly archaeologically. In October 2011, contractors excavated a trench around the Battle, Vance, and Pettigrew buildings at UNC. In the process, they exposed archaeological...

The Town of Jay, Florida: A Crossroads in History (2013)
The Town of Jay, located in Northwest Florida, is seemingly typical of a small agricultural community in this region; however this community’s connections to various individuals and entities, including the Panton, Leslie and Co.Trading Company, provide a unique glimpse into early settlement patterns in North Florida. A team of archaeologists and historians worked together to record all historic properties. Local informants with long-standing connections to the community, including individuals of...

The Toys of Main Street: Conjectural Discussions on What and Why (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Lindenwood University has recovered children’s toys from several sites on Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri. While not high in number, the types of toys have raised some questions as to why the excavations have located certain toy types and not others. Is it due to purposeful/accidental deposition, or maybe socio/economic factors? This paper will...
Tracing Communities and Mapping Exchange Networks of the Great Lakes in the 17th Century (2018)
Identifying historically documented ethnic groups in the archaeological record benefits from pragmatic approaches to material culture studies and regional-scale analyses of interaction. Ongoing investigations of the dispersal and migration of Huron-Wendat and other Indigenous peoples of eastern North America as an outcome of colonialism in 17th century are applying archaeometric analysis methods to glass trade beads to trace population movements and exchange networks. Chemical elements calcium,...
Tracing Health Outcomes of Africans Who Were Enslaved in North Florida, Pre- and Post-Emancipation (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Florida stands as a unique case study due to being one of the few states to include Africans who were enslaved in the mortality schedules during the 1800s. The historical backdrop of Northern Florida’s settlement and its deep rooted ties to the institution of slavery sets the stage for a rich examination of pre- and post-emancipation treatment of...
Tracing Marks in the Dark: Documenting Mud Glyph Cave by Drawing on Methodology of the Past and Present (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the rediscovery and canonization of Paleolithic and precontact cave art, researchers have grappled with different ways to document and reproduce sites containing ancient artwork. Early methods utilized hand drawing in situ and, soon after, cave art reproduction included film photography. Later, digital photography became the primary mode of capturing...
Tracing Paleoindian Projectile Point Diversity in the American Southeast (2018)
Paleoindian projectile points occur in high incidences in the American Southeast, and compared to other regions in the East, the Southeast has the greatest projectile point diversity. One effective way to understand this diversity is by tracking broad-scale morphological variation in suites of point traits to build cultural lineages. In this paper, we take a more trait-specific approach. We trace changes in projectile point design to understand the evolution of specific point attributes that...
