This is an abstract from the "Shipwrecks and the Public: Getting People Engaged with their Maritime History" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Lower Great Lakes and Upper Saint Lawrence River has served as a natural corridor of transportation, its intensification increasing exponentially with the lifting of restrictions on commercial shipping and shipbuilding in 1785. These restrictions coincided with a shift from military shipbuilding that had...

Status Quo: Military Landscapes (2017)
When considering cultural landscapes, military installations are unique due to their development through continued use for defense-related purposes. As a result of this active use, military cultural landscapes continue to evolve, changing yet staying the same in terms of function. As a military base, Camp Clark has been in operation for over one hundred years and boasts the oldest National Guard rifle range in the state of Missouri. Camp Clark was established on April 28th, 1908, as a result of...
Staying True to Our Roots… in Public: Critical Public Archaeology As Working Class Activism (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Communicating Working Class Heritage in the 21st Century: Values, Lessons, Methods, and Meanings" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. American working class and labor history is a history of resistance and discontent, with many of the most recognizable names – Cesar Chavez, Mother Jones, Joe Hill – having achieved notoriety specifically because they refused to follow the status quo. As archaeologists tasked with...
The Steamer Columbia - A New Discovery in the Blackwater (2017)
As the University of West Florida continues to survey Pensacola waterways, many new anomalies have been discovered. One of the most significant is a 105’ long sidewheel steamer, which was located in the Blackwater River using side-scan sonar. The shipwreck’s three distinct sections – the bow, boiler, and propulsion-related machinery in the stern – remain mostly intact. The most indicative of the artifacts examined are bricks associated with the boiler that have the name "KILLIAN" impressed on...
Steel and Honor: An Artifact Examination of Edward Preble's Naval Officer Sword (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Innovative Approaches to Finding Agency in Objects" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Commodore Edward Preble was a founding father of the United States Navy. He served in the Revolutionary War, Quasi-War with France, and led a squadron that was pivotal in ending the Barbary Wars (1801-1805). During his command in the Barbary Wars, he commanded from his flagship, USS Constitution, always carrying his sword,...
A Step Toward Exhibition: Digital Reconstruction of Monitor Spaces (2018)
210 tons of USS Monitor, including the majority of the engine room and the iconic turret, were recovered between 1998 and 2002 and are currently being conserved at The Mariners’ Museum and Park. While object treatments are ongoing, staff estimate that there are approximately 20 years of work left to finish the project. Even though the completion of conservation is two decades out, planning for the display of all the artifacts in the museum’s exhibition space is already underway. To assist in the...
Stephen Potter's Vision for Potomac Valley Archaeology (2016)
Between 1999 and 2011 the Louis Berger Group carried out a series of archaeological investigations in the Potomac Valley for the National Capital Region of the NPS. These investigations were planned by Dr. Potter as a connected series of studies, working westward up the river. The work included four years in the Prince William Forest Park, followed by four years in Rock Creek Park and then three years for each of three sections of the C&O Canal National Historic Park, culminating at Oldtown,...
"Stepping Over the Line": Hyper-Masculinity, Institutionalized Violence, and the Archaeology of the U.S. Border Patrol (2015)
The U.S. Border Patrol has come under heavy scrutiny following the deaths of 42 civilians since 2005, numerous reports of migrants being physically and sexually assaulted while in custody, and the surfacing of videos showing aggressive encounters between agents and U.S. citizens. Because a great deal of boundary enforcement happens in remote parts of the desert, documenting how agents do their job is difficult. In this paper, we highlight data from numerous interviews with agents, migrant...
Stirring the Ashes: archaeologies of ruination on the site of Old Panama (2013)
In 1671, Henry Morgan’s attack on the city of Panama put an end to its history as the first European settlement to take root on the shores of the Pacific. Burnt down to ashes, the once buoyant urban center entered a process of ruination through which new generations of Panamanians have gradually forgotten or reinvented the memory of the places where their ill-fated ancestors used to live. This paper discusses some concrete examples of how archaeological research conducted at the World Heritage...
Stitching History and Archaeology: New Investigations into the Chimney Coulee (DjOe-6) Métis Wintering Site (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Our understanding of the Métis experience on the Canadian prairies during the latter half of the 19th-century can be considered fragmentary and is typically understood alongside a colonial narrative. Métis wintering sites were important features in the Canadian west where the role of women cannot be downplayed despite being rarely investigated. Current...
Stolen Treasure, Exotic Animals, and Stray Bullets – A Pathway to a Career in Archaeology?!?! (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Eyes up, folks! Archaeology is not just about what is on or in the ground, but instead is and can be so much more. When thinking of a career in archaeology – what happens if you are not an academic researcher, or if you cannot land a coveted full-time position at a cultural resources management firm? The purpose of this paper is to discuss those other “connected” options and to...

Stone Ornaments Used by Indians in the United States and Canada: Being a Description of Certain Charm Stones, Gorgets, Tubes, Bird Stones, and Problematical Forms (1917)
J. Whittaker: [Title tells it: bannerstones etc viewed as ornaments and “problematical,” but with a few more interesting notes. All outdated, but nice illustrations.] C.H.Forbes produced Latin names like ‘geniculate’ for classif system. Manuf by peck and grind, drilling. Bar, bird, and boat forms = amulets. Birdstones mostly OH,NY, IN, MI, WI, Canada. Prob pre-mound. Winged objects [bannerstones] important because often repaired, well made, with dead. Unfinished ‘bipennate’ reused as hafted...

A Stone Throw(n) Away: Examining the Interconnection between Identity and Division of Labor through an Evolutionary Analysis of Household Spatial Organization (2018)
This study examines issues of cultural change/continuity as embodied within a singular multi-generational housepit (Housepit 54) located within the Bridge River site in the Mid-Fraser Canyon, British Columbia, Canada. Previous research has focused on understanding the changing social dynamics at both a village and household-level, examining shifts from a more collaborative to competitive framework in response to external environmental pressures. As interpersonal dynamics within Housepit 54 were...
Stone tool reduction techniques (1985)
J. Whittaker: Killed goats with atlatl darts, noted breakage, morphological change when reworked. Claims point types not valid cultural/temporal markers because they can be changed with reworking! [Incorrect, because damaged pts are still reworked into forms current at the time of reworking. Well dismissed by Thomas 1986. The useful information in this article is the high damage rate, damage from animal motion (mostly bending fractures), damage to point bases, support for "Frison effect" of...
