This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. I looked to synthesize, and expand on, past historical and archaeological research pertaining to the nineteenth century at the San Luis site in Tallahassee, Florida. My intention was to further investigate the different ownerships of San Luis during this century. A further goal was to highlight the need to better understand the enslaved experience at San Luis during the ten year...

Excavations at colonial Brunswick and Civil War era Fort Anderson by Stanley South in the 1950s and 1960s were designed to make their shared footprint into a public historic park.  Historical data and the artifacts uncovered through his excavations formed the initial interpretations.  While this data was documented in field reports and select other venues, such as CHSA presentations in the 1960s and Method and Theory (1977), the publication of Archaeology at Colonial Brunswick (2010) largely...

At his death in 1799, George Washington recorded 318 enslaved people at Mount Vernon.  This number does not reflect the numbers of individuals who worked the property during the entire tenure of the Washington family from 1735 – 1858, and it does not begin to address individuals enslaved on the numerous properties owned by Washington or the vast acreage he administered on behalf of the Custis family.  To better understand the lives of all those enslaved individuals, Mount Vernon’s digital...

The La Bahia was believed to have passed in front of the Inn. Investigations never located the illusive trace. Plans to expand the parking lot created an opportunity to look on the northeast side; the backdoor to the Inn and dining room. Background research revealed that the Fanthorp’s residence was at the front of the Inn. If travelers departed the stagecoach at the front door they would have traipsed through the Fanthorps living space to get to the dining area. While many guests stayed at the...

A primary goal of the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project is to ensure the community’s education and engagement with the investigation and interpretation of an eighteenth-century mission, garrison, and trading post in present day Niles, Michigan. This paper discusses how archaeologists, community members, and online viewers experience the site from a first person perspective. Throughout the 2016 field season, we filmed hours of point-of-view footage using two Go-Pro cameras to show the ways...

Since its establishment in 1827, Lindenwood University has been a central location for educating young women.  Modern-day excavations of an historic campus trash dump have yielded a selection of glass bottles and bottle shards that can be identified for their cosmetic, medicinal, and educational applications for the girls who attended the university during the early twentieth century. Socio-economic information, such as the place of origin and price of the bottles’ contents, will contribute to...

            The looting of archaeological sites is not new. However, the glamorization of finding and selling artifacts has reached a larger audience through recent American television shows such as Spike TV’s "American Digger" and National Geographic’s "Diggers" which illustrate the unscientific removal and sale of cultural materials.   While federal and state laws protect sites on public land, sites on private property are less safeguarded.  In states such as Texas, which is 95% privately...

Archaeologists have long bemoaned the effects looting has on archaeological sites, declaring that once a site has been looted it no longer holds the integrity necessary for study. This maybe too hasty of an assumption, under the right conditions, a great deal can be learned from a looted site.  Coalwood, a former lumber town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula provides an optimal case study to evaluate the effects of looting. As the victim of heavy looting activity since the 1960’s and with a short...

On 16 August, 1918, British tanker Mirlo was lost near Wimble Shoals, off the North Carolina Outer Banks. Of the vessels 52 crew, only 10 were lost as a result of one of the most dramatic rescues in US Coast Guard history. Despite the well-known story of the rescue operation, the precise cause of the tanker’s demise remains unknown, as does the vessel’s final resting place. Review of historical documents regarding the vessel’s construction and armament provide new details which shed light on the...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On December 15, 1916 the USS H-3 (SS-30) went aground on Samoa Beach near Eureka, California while trying to find the entrance to Humboldt Bay in dense fog. Roughly a month later during the early morning hours of January 13, 1917, the USS Milwaukee (C-21), a St. Louis class semi-armored cruiser, attempted to pull the submarine off the beach, despite multiple warnings from locals of...

This is an abstract from the ""Re-excavating" Legacy Collections" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Many of our culture histories and chronologies were built by early generations of archaeologists who targeted superlative sites, often excavating voluminous areas or entire sites. Decades later, many of these collections remain uncatalogued, unstudied, or worse—relegated to garages, garbage piles, or lost completely. Contemporary archeologists and...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Isle Royale National Park located in Lake Superior was one of the centers of the nation’s first copper booms. High quality copper veins drew mid-19th century miners looking to stake a claim. By the mid-1850s these initial attempts at mining were met with demise as the remote location and logistical hurtles made extracting copper a costly business. Translating government land...

One of the many gold mining interests of Fairbanks, Alaska pioneer Tom Gilmore was a custom gold processing mill on Fairbanks Creek. The 5-stamp Allis Chalmers mill was unique to the district when it was installed in 1915. After his death in 1932, Gilmore’s widow continued custom milling operations. The Gilmore Mill was lost to history because the nearby McCarty Mill had been misidentified as the Gilmore Mill in a Fairbanks historic buildings inventory and repeated by multiple sources. This...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "California: Post-1850s Consumption and Use Patterns in Negotiated Spaces" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Phases of development and renewal in the historic core of Los Angeles continue to reveal burials associated with the city’s defunct graveyards. The locations of these forgotten cemeteries reflects an evolving urban landscape, elucidaing changes in how people organize their social and physical landscapes...

Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, renowned as the ‘Cradle of Naval Aviation’, has been a fundamental pilot training facility for the U.S. Navy since its establishment in 1914. Soon after, World War I ensured aviation would remain an important aspect of U.S. naval warfare, and lead to increased influx of prospective aviation cadets at NAS Pensacola. The next several decades of training led to hundreds of training accidents, some of which resulted in the loss of naval aircraft in waters offshore...

As part of NAS Pax Rivers heritage management responsibilities, Naval History and Heritage Command's Underwater Archaeology Branch (NHHC UAB) and partner entities have been conducting remote sensing surveys in the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters since 2015 in order to find its missing aircraft from the early 1940s and 1950s.  Several were lost at the advent of WWII as part of experimental testing, which lead to advancements in aircraft capabilities and flight safety. This paper will...
