Decoding the Midden: How DAACS Helped Reveal the Secrets of the Most Complicated Context at Fairfield Plantation, Gloucester County, Virginia (2015)
Fairfield Plantation's midden spans an historically complex period in Virginia's history (mid-18th-to-mid-19th century). This refuse deposit includes materials representating a cross section of the plantation's population, particularly those living in and near the 1694 manor house. Although plowing in the late 19th and 20th century impacted the interpretive potential of the midden, all was not lost. DAACS cataloging of artifacts recovered from 138 five-foot-square test units within and...
Decolonizing a Metropolis: the materialization of the late Portuguese empire through Lisbon’s commercial spaces (2013)
After the formal independence of the Portuguese African colonies between 1974 and 1975, massive numbers of Europeans and settlers of European descent moved to Portugal in one of the most rapid migrations of the century. This traumatic experience and the problems of redefining a national identity led to the continuous reproduction of an imperial imagination in the old metropolis, but this time without colonies. In this paper I will discuss how old and new urban spaces such as small shops, cafés...

Decolonizing the Persuasive Power of Paradigms and Discourse (2016)
The historical archaeologies of the Chinese Diaspora has made progress departing from its assimilation/acculturation roots. There remains, however, much room for future growth, particularly from a critical Ethnic Studies/Asian American Studies standpoint. This paper utilizes an interdisciplinary perspective to consider how increased self-reflexivity along with critical interrogation and consciousness must be integral to how we approach our work on racialized communities. We must question the...
Decolonizing the Practice of Archaeology through Collaboration and Community Engagement: Successes, Failures, and Lessons Learned (2018)
Collaboration or Consultation—while both terms involve working with stakeholders; consultation implies a formulaic, reactionary response or product that can produce negative connotations. In contrast,collaboration suggests a voluntary, shared method and a mutual goal, invoking more positive associations. Within archaeology, collaboration is not a new practice. Yet the task of decolonizing the practice of archaeology within academia and the public sector is easier said than done. Through...
Decomposing Capital: The Two Sides of Industrial Decay in Mill Creek Ravine (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Capitalism’s Cracks" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In an age of virulent exploitation and ecological devastation, the decaying waste of capitalist production does not just reflect unjust relations of production, it also serves as a medium for toxic pollutants that harm vulnerable communities and landscapes. Focusing on the negativity embodied in decay, critical theory has also...

Deconstructing Ubiquity: the Interpretive Value of Metal Drum Container Artifacts (2017)
As 20th and 21st century artifacts, metal drum containers straddle historical and contemporary archaeological studies that will be conducted during the next 50 years. They are found across the globe as repurposed objects within site features, as components of expedient structures, as well as vernacular landscape artifacts. Although often simply described in CRM reports as "ubiquitous 55 gallon drums," archival research and field data demonstrate that not all drums are created equal in function,...

The Deep History of a Modern Phenomenon: An Archaeological Perspective on Corporate Agriculture in Northwest Ohio (2017)
Yard signs proclaiming, "Family Farms Not Factory Farms!" are a common site along rural highways in the Midwest. These signs are a direct response to the tremendous growth of corporate agriculture during the second half of the 20th century and the concomitant decline of the traditional farming model in which a single family owns and operates a productive, commercial farm. While most lay people likely assume that "factory farms" are a fairly recent economic phenomenon, in reality land...

Deep Space: The Recovery of Saturn V Booster Engines From a Depth of 4000 Meters (2015)
The Apollo Program received a high priority after President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 address to Congress declaring his support for "landing a man on the Moon" by the end of the decade. This ambitious goal was achieved on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 Mission, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon. On each mission the Saturn V first stage plunged into the Atlantic Ocean with its five enormous F-1 engines. In March 2013 a scientific team sponsored by Jeff Bezos,...
