     Last summer the Sapelo Island Cultural Resource Survey (SICRS) investigated the north end of Sapelo Island for archaeological sites that are threatened by both nature and man.  This area was inhabited by native peoples from the Late Archaic Period (5000-3000 BP) up until the Spanish Mission Period. Later european settlement divided the island up into plantations and estates, two of which occupied the north end of the island until the Civil War. In the 1920’s Sapelo became a private retreat...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As the cost and space associated with curating large amounts of excavated materials surmount available resources, researchers have justified curating such collections by advocating their research potential and contribution to new archaeological perspectives (Voss 2012; Voss and Kane...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The middle-late nineteenth century witnessed substantial changes in the Great Lakes maritime landscape. Vertical integration of raw material industries, the birth of steel cities, corporate fleets, and revolutionary shipbuilding and canal technology granted shippers previously-unfathomable commercial opportunity. Sisterships GRECIAN and NORMAN were launched at the leading edge of...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mississippian expansions through the Cumberland Gap into the region has been explained as the seeking of new opportunities for elite lineages with roots to the west, particularly through the development and control of craft production and related exchange relationships on either side of the Appalachian Mountains. However, new chronologies for two primary...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Within plantation archaeological sites, locating enslaved African American houses are often difficult due to their ephemeral signatures on the contemporary landscape. Many times, the house structures were burned down (after emancipation) and/or the architectural materials were repurposed. But the narratives tied to these dialectical spaces of struggle and oppression vs. resistance and...

Nuestra Señora de Begoña, a Spanish merchant vessel bound from Caracas to Tenerife, was wrecked at La Caleta in the Dominican Republic in 1725. An investigation of the incident resulted in charges being brought against Captain Don Theodoro de Salazar and his conviction of silver smuggling. Contemporary salvage of the Begoña cargo was only partially successful, but some 21,000 pesos in silver were recovered including "six talegas found under the captian's bed."  Only 8,761 pesos were...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Telling a Tale of One Ship with Two Names: Queen Anne’s Revenge and La Concorde" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The tale of Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge is a renowned aspect of North Carolinian and Colonial American History. While Blackbeard and Queen’s Anne’s Revenge enjoy the limelight, the tale Blackbeard’s procurement of the ship and its time before piracy remains obscure. Prior to becoming...

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Established in the early 1900s, The Foot was once a thriving African American neighborhood located below Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri.  The Foot was home to black-owned businesses that provided goods and services to a segregated population not always welcome in the white-owned businesses.  In the 1950s and 60s, highway construction and urban...

The Cleary Hill Mill, situated 20 miles north of Fairbanks, is a deteriorating vestige of one of Alaska's historically most important industries. Built in 1911 for processing gold ores, the mill began with a set of technologies well tested in western mineral districts. Despite remaining modest in size, archaeological evidence indicates that the mill was subjected to considerable transformation over its operative life; being burned, reconstructed, extended, repurposed, and partially scrapped....

When British colonists moved to the Philadelphia area, the sturgeon was one of the few fish species that was familiar to them from their English roots. The availability of this familiar fish surely eased their transition to their new home. Recent excavations in Northeast Philadelphia reveal that sturgeon were still commonly eaten up through the middle of the 19th century. In this paper we will explore the history of the sturgeon in the Philadelphia area from colonial times to the present to...

Frontiers are often perceived as dangerous and harsh peripheries pioneers adapted to, or replete with resources and ripe for settlement. Based on accounts of environmental stress and warfare in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the former perception pervades depictions of the Eastern frontier. To distinguish notions of frontier life from actual lived experiences of pioneers, I analyze enclosure – the continuous bounding and cultivation of the landscape – which structured frontier...

The study of submerged aircraft, while not new, is a relatively unexplored area of maritime archaeology. Receiving even less attention is the study of site formation processes as they apply to submerged aircraft wreck sites—what processes affected the site between the time it crashed and now? These studies are becoming increasingly important, especially for cultural resource managers who are responsible for managing submerged aircraft. This paper summarizes the results of a case study of a...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Strides Towards Standard Methodologies in Aeronautical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the Second World War, flying boats were crucial in the roles of reconnaissance, patrol, rescue, and transportation. This was especially true in the Pacific Theater. One such flying boat, a United States Navy (USN) PBM Mariner, has rested on the bottom of Tanapag Harbor, Saipan since the waning days of...

ABSTRACT: With its headwaters in Alabama and terminus in Blackwater Bay, the Blackwater River is the major river of Santa Rosa County, Florida. For centuries this river has played an integral role in the development of northwest Florida as the primary avenue for transporting resources, goods, and people in and out of the interior of this area. In 2013 the Bagdad Waterfronts Florida Partnership, Inc., contacted Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) Northwest Region office seeking assistance...
