Global Capitalism Is Modern Colonialism (2013)
Colonialism has long been a focus of research within the field of Historical Archaeology. Recently, archaeological understanding of colonialism has become more complex and realistic as researchers have included issues centering on consumerism, the articulations of colonialist processes with capitalism, and colonialism’s role in globalization processes. However, much Historical Archaeological scholarship has implicitly or explicitly recognized colonialism as an arterial process within the larger...
Global Capitalist Symbolic Violence at Small Scale on Providence Island (2016)
Symbolic violence is usually subtle even though its physical manifestations can be imposing. Fortifications of colonialist powers express symbolic violence in contextually important ways, but when constructed as part of a colonial-capitalist nexus they have especially strong symbolic power. Focusing on the Puritan colony on Providence Island off the coast of Nicaragua (1630-41), I explore the symbolic nature of the island’s fortifications and their impact upon the indentured and enslaved...

Global Currents and Local Currents in Northern La Florida: Recent Finds at the Berry Site in Western North Carolina (2018)
Spanish exploration and colonization of the American South encompassed a great deal of movement, including the movements of Spanish conquistadors, flows of goods to coastal entrepots and inland along the routes of Spanish entradas, rearrangements of Native American groups within the cultural landscape, and practices of placemaking that created common ground and borders between natives and newcomers. One site at which to consider these dimensions of the Spanish colonialism in La Florida is the...
A Global Exchange: NPS Collaborations with the Slave Wrecks Project in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Mozambique (2018)
For the past few years, the National Park Service has been involved with the Slave Wrecks Project, an international multi-agency effort to document sites related to the International Slave Trade. Student and academic representatives from Mozambique and Senegal participated in a workshop, supported by the U.S. State Department, where information, techniques, and perspectives were exchanged during a 10-day project hosted by the NPS at Buck Island National Reef Monument and Christiansted National...
Global Networks of Trade, Migration and Consumption: Evidence from the Gold Rush-Era Fauna at Thompson’s Cove (CA-SFR-186H), San Francisco, California (2015)
San Francisco, originally known as Yerba Buena, became a confluence of international trade, human migration and commercial activity during the California Gold Rush (1848-1855). How did the massive influx of argonauts to the San Francisco Bay area affect domestic, native and exotic fauna in this region? A recently excavated site, Thompson’s Cove (CA-SFR-186H), located on the original shoreline of Yerba Buena Cove in present day downtown San Francisco, provides new evidence into this global...
The Global, the Local, and the Personal: Searching for Meaning and Relevancy Through Baltimore’s Past (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Transformation of Historical Archaeology: Papers in Honor of Charles E Orser, Jr" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In his study of the modern world, Charles Orser has suggested that archaeologists should dig locally, but think globally. Relating different scales across space and time allows for an understanding of the linkages between the past and the present and the connectivity of the modern world. Through...
The Globalized World of a French Canadian in Spanish and Indian Territory: The Life of Louis Blanchette, Founder of St. Charles, Missouri. (2013)
Louis Blanchette was driven from his home by the British during the French and Indian War. He settled in Spanish territory (now the state of Missouri) where the predominant languages were French along with multiple Indian languages. He married an Indian woman, bought British goods, and, as Civil Commandant, reported to a Spanish Lieutenant Governor. Through historical research and archaeological investigation of his homestead site in St. Charles, Missouri, we can show the public how...
Globalizing Lifeways: An Analysis of Local and Imported Ceramics at an Aku Site in Banjul, The Gambia. (2016)
Following the 1807 British abolition of the slave trade, the West African coast saw the rise of a new phenomenon: the liberation of captive Africans found aboard illegal slaving ships and their resettlement in Sierra Leone and The Gambia. This diaspora group became known as the Liberated Africans, and eventually transformed into the creole ethnic group known as the Aku in The Gambia. After its establishment in 1816 Bathurst (now Bathurst) welcomed the Liberated Africans as a source of low-paid...
Globalizing Poverty: The Materiality of International Inequality and Marginalization (2013)
North American historical archaeology has long focused on poverty and consumer marginalization, but models of impoverishment and inequality constructed to address a distinct range of US contexts are not always useful in international contexts. A wave of recent archaeological scholarship has focused on the materiality of poverty, and an examination of impoverishment is productively complicated by international research comparisons. This paper examines case studies from African America, British...
Glowing Glass: Using Ultra-Violet Radiation on Glass to Identify the International Trade Networks of a 17th to 19th North American Fishing Site (2013)
Smuttynose Island, Maine is a well preserved fishing site that documents approximately 200 years of occupation divided into two distinct fishing periods with different political structures. The first, independently operated (1640-1720) and the second, under single ownership (1760-1830). This project focuses on examining the glass related to the fishing site. By creating a timeline of when specific glass manufacturing techniques were utilized, I am able to group glass by fishing period. This...
Go-Betweens, Transculturation, and the Notion of the Frontier in the Potomac River Valley (2017)
Go-betweens, including translators, traders, diplomats, and other individuals who move between two or more cultures, are often viewed as important and even transforming actors in the colonial encounter. Go-betweens in the early modern Chesapeake are understood as not only moving between two or more cultures but between cultures located at some geographical distance from one another’s territories (in Maryland, Henry Fleet and William Claiborne would be examples). But what about the nature of...
The Goals and Accomplishments of the Federal Archeology Program: The Secretary of the Interior's Report to Congress on the Federal Archeology Program, 2004-2007 (2010)
The Secretary’s Report to Congress on the Federal Archeology Program documents the archeological resource management and stewardship activities carried out by Federal agencies between FY2004 and FY2007. The Departmental Consulting Archeologist prepares the report on behalf of the Secretary on the basis of information provided by over two dozen Federal agencies that conduct, fund, or require archeological activities and investigations. The data in the FY2004-2007 report convey a sense of...
Going Ballistic: A Firearms Analysis of Florida’s Natural Bridge (2018)
The Civil War Battle of Natural Bridge was fought within miles of Tallahassee, Florida, in March of 1865. In 2015 archaeologists and volunteers conducted a metal detecting survey on the battlefield, which is now a state park. Utilizing a modified catch-and-release strategy allowed for just the analysis of battle related artifacts, the vast majority of which were munitions related to both small arms and artillery combat. Due to the amount of Minié Balls recovered, firearm identification was...

Going Green: Using Environmental Protections to Safeguard the Underwater Cultural Heritage (2013)
The Caribbean Sea is host to a significant number of colonial-era wrecks and has historically been a prime hunting spot for commercial salvors. Frequently, salvage of this underwater cultural heritage (UCH) occurred with the blessing of the governing authority or was implicitly endorsed by the courts determining proprietary rights. Many wrecks are located in ecologically-sensitive areas, however, or serve as substrate for the growth of new underwater habitat. As such, the wreck sites may...
Going Over Old Ground: developing effective geophysical survey methodologies for Maryland’s archaeological sites (2016)
As geophysical techniques become more frequently integrated into archaeological investigations in Maryland, methodologies are being refined, and their potential is becoming better understood across the discipline. Many factors affect the successful outcome of these non-invasive surveys, including the specific natural conditions and archaeological features at a site, but also careful selection of appropriate techniques and data collection strategies. This presentation will review a variety of...
Going paperless in Calabria: an open-source digital data collection workflow. (2018)
In this paper I discuss the construction and deployment of a paperless data collection workflow that focuses on the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) tools, such as GeoODK, Qfield, OpenDroneMap, QGIS, and GRASS, and "off-the-shelf" technology such as mobile tablet computers, Bluetooth GPS, and compact unmanned aerial vehicles. A focus on FOSS tools ensures availability to all, encourages reproducibility and open scientific methods, and fosters wide compatibility in data collection...
Going Paperless: The Digital Age of Archaeology (2018)
Technology has played a large role in shaping how archaeology was conducted, especially towards the end of the 20th century. From telescopic transits to total stations, from map and compass to hand held GPS devices, and from film cameras to digital cameras are just a few example of how technology shaped archaeology. In the last decade or less a rapid change is occurring with technology and equipment becoming cheaper and more suffocated: smart phones and tablets replacing paper and brick GPS...
Going to the Dogs: Forensic Canine Surveys at Mission San Antonio de Padua, California (2015)
Two surveys by the Institute of Canine Forensics were conducted at Mission San Antonio de Padua (1771-1834) in 2013. The first was a traditional field survey around the outside of the mission cemetery and in other areas known to contain more recent human burials. The second was a survey of the archaeological collections of the archaeological field school (1776-2004), in a completely new application of this method. Dogs specially trained and certified in historic human remains detection...
