WWII-Related Caves, Community Archaeology and Public Service Announcements: A Community Approach to Raising Awareness and Protecting Caves (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jennifer F McKinnon. Toni Carrell. Genevieve S. Cabrera.

A recent ABPP-funded project explored community consensus building for the protection of WWII-related caves on the island of Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The project utilized radio and television public service announcements for the purpose of sharing a local message of protection and preservation of caves with the island community. This paper outlines the process of community engagement and involvement, recording privately owned WWII cave sites, developing a...

X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis on Sixteenth Century Glass Beads from the 1539 Hernando De Soto Encampment (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Fred White.

The purpose of this pXFR testing was to build an accurate reference database for the elemental values of sixteenth century glass artifacts related to Florida’s First Spanish Cultural Period. Glass trade beads help form the framework needed to often identify and build a date range for an archaeological site. These beads that were tested were discovered in context with other sixteenth century artifacts at the confirmed 1539 Hernando de Soto encampment near Orange Lake, Florida. The...

Xenia, IN: A Comparison Study Based on the Carolina Artifact Pattern (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew D Earle. Christopher R. Moore.

During the early to mid-19th century, Xenia, Indiana was an occupied town in Carroll County. As the region grew, Xenia did not and the town was abandoned. During the summer of 2011, the University of Indianapolis performed a siteless survey of a 60+ acre agricultural field that included portions of the abandoned town. We used Stanley South’s Carolina Artifact Pattern to categorize data from the site. Additionally, we used South’s mean ceramic date formula to confirm the mean dates of...

XRF Analysis of North Carolina Piedmont Ceramics to Locate Source of Production and Trade at Rural Plantation Sites (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Monica Dyer.

Little documentation exists of the trade exchange occurring in the central Piedmont during the 18th and 19th century at wealthy plantation sites or at surrounding sites of lower economic status. In this historical archaeology research, I focus on understanding the socio-economic patterns of settlers in the more rural areas of the region at two plantation sites and wasters from a local kiln site from same time period. Using pXRF data of lead glazed earthenware I attempt to map ceramic regional...

At no time more than in recent years has being properly "attired" been more important to maritime heritage management. While not included in any job description, maritime managers are experts at making the most of opportunities; the theme of this...

A Yeoman’s House in Marshfield: the c. 1638 Robert Waterman House (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ross K. Harper. Mary G. Harper.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "New Research on the “Old Colony”: Recent Approaches to Plymouth Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As Plimoth Plantation became crowded for ever-increasing numbers of newcomers, colonists spread into neighboring areas within the Old Colony. One of these areas was Greene’s Harbor, or Marshfield. In the 1630s Robert Waterman and his wife Elizabeth, a daughter of prominent colonist Thomas Bourne,...

DOCUMENT Citation Only James M. Adovasio.

Yes! You Can Have Access to That! Increasing and Promoting the Accessibility of Maryland’s Archaeological Collections (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca J Morehouse.

Eighteen years ago, the State of Maryland’s archaeological collections were moved into the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory (MAC Lab) at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in Southern Maryland. This was an important step towards improving the storage conditions of the Maryland collections, but it did little to make the collections more accessible. Understanding the need for better access to archaeological collections, MAC Lab staff spent years rehousing, inventorying and...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeffrey M. Mitchem.

"Yes, Sir. All Was in Arms:" An Account of the Small Arms Discovered on the Wreck of Queen Anne’s Revenge (1718) (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only J Myron Rolston. Kimberly P Kenyon. Teresa E Williams.

Until recently, weapons from Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge (31CR314) were primarily represented by large artillery: the ubiquitous twenty-nine cast iron cannon found on the wreck to date. The only trace of small firearms has consisted of isolated gunlocks, flints, and the occasional copper alloy fittings, such as side plates, trigger guards, and a lone musketoon barrel. X-radiography, however, has now revealed additional evidence. Five articulated small arms and additional disarticulated...

Yes, Us Too: Sexual Harassment and Assault in Historical Archaeology and What Can Be Done About It (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin Whitson.

This is an abstract from the "Yes, Us Too: Sexual Harassment and Assault in Historical Archaeology and What Can Be Done About It" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The #MeToo movement that began in 2017, had profound impacts on how people across the United States looked at and approached topics such as sexual harassment and abuse. While no one would argue that archaeologists are part of the greater social world at large, little conversation of...

Yield Strength of the Egadi 10 Warship: Using Nonlinear Computer Simulations to Examine Collision Dynamics in Greco-Roman Naval Conflicts (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kristina J. Fricker.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The study of ancient Mediterranean naval warfare expanded dramatically with the emergence of maritime archaeology and the subsequent discovery of artifacts and ship remains such as the Athlit and Egadi rams. The ship timbers preserved inside the rams radically increased available information on ancient warships. These timbers offer a tantalizing glimpse at vessel construction, but...

You Can't Keep a Workin' Man Down: Black Masculinity, Labor, and the Frontier (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Annelise E. Morris.

Historical archaeologists have long examined changing structures of labor in the context of modern global capitalism. This paper will focus on rural sites in the Midwest, challenging normative notions of labor structures. I will examine how, in the face of changing labor economies, Black men on the frontier deployed specific types of skilled labor to create social networks, familial bonds, and to subvert economic inequalities. I will examine shifts from agrarian economies to wage economies,...

You Can’t Tell a Book by its Hardware: An Examination of Book Hardware Recovered from James Fort (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dan Gamble.

Book Hardware was utilized both to protect books and to keep them closed. Books typically do not survive in an archaeological context but the hardware does. This is the case at James Fort. After over twenty years of excavations, more than one hundred of these artifacts have been recovered. Book hardware consists of many materials, numerous designs, and varying sizes. But what can be gleaned from this hardware? First, where they were made can be determined using XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) and...

You Don’t Find Jack: Archaeological Investigations at Two Rural, Nineteenth Century Midwest School Houses (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John D. Richards.

The archaeology of rural one-room school houses is part of the larger archaeological enterprise of the study of institutions, but remains relatively undeveloped. In large part this is due to the often frustratingly incomplete archaeological and historical records associated with these resources. As a result, these sites rarely conform to the criteria needed to be potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It is thus often impossible to either preserve such...
