As an often overlooked artifact class, horse hardware has the potential to answer a variety of research questions on the functionality of plantation work spaces. Ongoing archaeological research at James Madison’s Montpelier has examined the dynamics of a late 18th to mid-19th century working plantation in central Virginia. Through the survey and excavations of several areas that made up Madison’s plantation, various horse hardware has been recovered in several labor contexts and styles. As part...
New Directions for Underwater Archaeology in Virginia (2018)
More than two thousand ships have been lost in Virginia waters since the first European explorers ventured here. In addition, countless prehistoric sites and historic piers, wharves and other structures now lie underwater. Yet, except for a few significant exceptions, little emphasis has been placed on locating and studying Virginia’s submerged sites. In a partnership with the Virginia Historic Resources Department, the Archeological Society of Virginia recently formed a Maritime Heritage...

New Echota was the Capital of the Cherokee Nation from 1825 until their forced removal known as the Trail of Tears. Newly established as capital while the Cherokee interfaced with Georgia’s Euro-American citizens and explorers, New Echota was relatively...
New Evidence for Poverty Point’s Complex Developmental History (2018)
Magnetic survey at Poverty Point reveals new information about ritual facilities, ridge construction and use, and a complex developmental history that included both planned and organic growth. Thirty-eight circles (diameters range from 8 to 66 m with a mean of 35 m) in the plaza are interpreted as ritual facilities. Targeted excavation in four circles encountered large postholes in three but the fourth consists of pits. Magnetic images suggest closely spaced postholes in many circles, possibly...

Located across the river from St. Charles, Missouri, the wreck yielded some interesting, new information on steamboat architecture. The project,...
The New History in an Old Museum: Creating the Past at Colonial Williamsburg (1997)
The New History in an Old Museum is an exploration of "historical truth" as presented at Colonial Williamsburg. More than a detailed history of a museum and tourist attraction, it examines the packaging of American history, and consumerism and the manufacturing of cultural beliefs. Through extensive fieldwork—including numerous site visits, interviews with employees and visitors, and archival research—Richard Handler and Eric Gable illustrate how corporate sensibility blends with pedagogical...

New Insights from Old Wood: A Case Study from the Southeastern United States (2018)
In the southeastern United States, as well as in North America more broadly, archaeological wood charcoal continues to be an underutilized data source. In this paper, I review previous North American studies and models of prehistoric fuelwood collection. I use these past studies to highlight how wood charcoal data might contribute new insights on the archaeological record. I also present findings from a recent analysis of wood charcoal from three sites in the North Carolina Piedmont. This new...

A New Kind of Frontier: Hispanic Homesteaders in Eastern New Mexico (2017)
The rural community of Los Ojitos in Guadalupe County, New Mexico was settled in the late 1860s by the first generation of Hispanic homesteaders. Many of these founding families came from Spanish- and Mexican-era land grant communities where grantees shared the rights to common lands and the responsibility to build and maintain irrigation ditches and other public structures. In claiming homesteads in New Mexico’s Middle Pecos Valley, these families were forced to adapt some of their traditional...
New Life for Old Fur Trade Data: Asking New Questions of the 1974 Atlas of Canada Posts of the Canadian Fur Trade Map. (2016)
A detailed map entitled "Posts of the Canadian Fur Trade" was included in the fourth edition of the Atlas of Canada. Over 800 fur trade locations spanning the years 1600-1800 were noted on the map along with the company affiliation, and duration of operation. A quick glance at the map shows how this important aspect of the French and British colonial economies spanned the continent’s northern regions and consequently its aboriginal inhabitants. Forty-one years later little is known about the...
New Light on Historic Fort Wayne, Detroit: The Springwells Neighborhood and the War of 1812 (2018)
During the War of 1812, numerous battles unfolded along the Detroit River between Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. The fortified settlement of Detroit was a central focus of British and American military activity. Many other locations in the Detroit theater of this conflict were important as well, including the European farmlands and old Native village locations along the river above and below Detroit. This poster focuses on the Springwells neighborhood of southeast Detroit and its role in shaping...

New Management Strategies for Submerged Cultural Resources in the U.S. National Park Service. (2015)
With ever increasing stresses to cultural resources in the U.S. National Parks from natural and man-made threats, managers of these resources must evolve and adapt to protect and preserve them all. Some solutions limit or deny access because of the delicate state of the resource or because of the sensitive nature of its history. However, providing access and presenting the past to park visitors in a meaningful way is a primary responsibility of managing places that belong to all Americans. For...
A New Maritime Archaeological Landscape Formation Model (2013)
Underwater archaeology tends to be particularistic focusing on the human activities associated with an event, however; human behavior and its resultant material remains exist on a physical and cultural landscape and cannot be separated from it. Studying known archaeological sites within the landscape reveals patterns of human behavior that can only be identified within that context. The natural environment constrains and informs human behavior and plays an important role in the development of...
