In 1686, the French ship of exploration La Belle sank in Matagorda Bay off the coast of what is now Texas. The ship was excavated in 1996-97 by the Texas Historical Commission, and the ship and its cargo are currently being conserved and prepared for display by Texas A&M Unversity's Conservation Research Laboratory. Amongst the cargo were wood casks containing various  trade goods and supplies. This poster presents the methodology developed by the CRL staff to create a simple, stable, and...

This paper presents zooarchaeological fish data from several archaeological sites in historic New Orleans. First, the author discusses these data in terms of reconstructing the historic fisheries supplying New Orleans’ growing urban population, and he highlights the city’s engagement with both local fisheries and international trade networks. The fish data are used as a starting point for exploring how urban growth in New Orleans impacted fish populations in nearby waters and lead to changes in...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Understanding patterns of localized environmental change in the past can provide valuable insight into modern environmental patterns, as well as comparative options for modern day environmental planning. This research analyzes Donax variabilis associated with the Burns Mound Site (900 to 1600 CE), located on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station along the...

Until recently, the prehistoric culture-history of the coastal plain has remained the least understood in North Carolina due to a lack of known sites with stratified context and dateable components. Sites, such as Barber Creek (31PT259) and Squires Ridge (31ED365) situated along the Tar River, have archaeological data that can test the previous model (Moore and Daniel 2011; Phelps 1983). The excavations at these two sites have established the presence of archaeological sequences of four...

This paper presents the results of recent metal detection surveys conducted by Indiana University of Pennsylvania at Fort Necessity National Battlefield, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.  Fort Necessity was a hastily fortified storehouse located within a historically significant landscape known as Great Meadows.  On July 3 1754, British Colonial forces led by George Washington defended Fort Necessity against a small army of French soldiers and French-allied Native Americans.  The Battle of Fort...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Bois d’Arc Lake archaeological project was carried out by AR Consultants in coordination with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma, the Texas Historical Commission, and the Tulsa District of US Army Corps of Engineers. These investigations were to determine the National Register eligibility of Site 41FN244. Funded by the North Texas Municipal Water District,...

The wreck site of Blackbeard’s flagship Queen Anne’s Revenge was first discovered in 1996 and yielded both articulated hull structure and numerous rigging elements, which are currently under study as part of a long-term research project which will culminate in a full reconstruction of the vessel.  The rig and hull of a vessel such as Queen Anne’s Revenge are inextricably linked, and need to be studied as a single integrated whole to fully understand not only the specifics of the hull and rig,...

A goniometer was used in situ to measure the curvature of the frames and the dimensions of the keel of the Pillar Dollar Wreck in Biscayne National Park, FL.  Using this information, an approximation of the hull shape and general curvature of the ship was generated in Rhino. The shape was rotated to an upright position based on the angle of the top of the keel as it lay in on the sea floor.  The data that was collected was used for an approximate reconstruction.  With a reconstructed keel, the...

Urban landscapes were active environments in the past that present unique challenges during site investigations.  During summer 2016 students and staff with Ball State University conducted excavations at the site of Fort Recovery, an early Federal period fort constructed in 1793.  Site investigations in the town lot consisted of two GPR surveys and the excavation of a ca. 40 square meter area.  Field results revealed the town lot was intensively used from the 1790s to the 1940s.  Based on...

This is an abstract from the "Seeking Freedom in the Borderlands: Archaeological Perspectives on Maroon Societies in Florida" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1814, the British began construction of a large fort on a site known as Prospect Bluff on the Apalachicola River. There they trained a corps of Colonial Marines made up primarily of freedom seekers and maroons of African descent who fought in the War of 1812. The heart of the fort was a...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper complements the rigging reconstruction of a galleon, of 22 codos (12.65 m) of beam and 1073.33 toneladas of tonnage, based in the Ordenanza of 1613. The Ordenanzas were official documents regulating shipbuilding, equivalent...

The hull of the Lake Champlain steamboat Phoenix II, built in 1820 and retired in Shelburne Shipyard in 1837, was archaeologically investigated over the course of three field seasons by a team of nautical archaeologists from Texas A&M University and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. A reconstruction of Phoenix II from the archaeological material promises to fill several significant gaps in our understanding of the development and diversification of steam technology. To date, only one other...

The PIllar Dollar wreck is well-known to treasure salvors and looters, but has only recently been investigated in an archaeological sense. East Carolina University's Program in Maritime Studies conducted an excavation of the site for the Program's 2014 Fall Field School in September. With the knowledge garnered from that project, as well as previous condition reports and treasure salvor guides, this project aims to reconstruct the vessel and learn about its origins and use. The final result will...
