J. Whittaker: Force is not applied in a straight line, so dart must flex. If end kicks up, dart is too limber, if down, too stiff. Test before fletching. The harder you throw, the stiffer the dart should be. Fairly wide range is acceptable; well-tuned dart works for hard to moderate throw but kicks down for easy toss. Periodicity of dart vibration must match distance/time of throw. Flex of atlatl has little effect on “tuning” and flex of atlatl or dart contributes almost no energy to throw.

This is an abstract from the "Improving and Decolonizing Precontact Legacy Collections with Fieldwork: Making Sense of Harvard’s Turpin Site Expedition (Ohio)" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The relationship between American Indian tribes and American archaeology—both its practice and its practitioners—has always been complicated and is still often fraught with a lack of consonance. Although the engagement of tribes as consulting parties in...

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. The turtle fishery off the coast of the Cayman Islands was a well-known supplier of meat for mariners involved in the trans-Atlantic trade of the 18th century. Salted and barreled or taken aboard live, these reptiles played a vital role in shipboard foodways. The Turtle Bone Site, located on the north side of Grand Cayman’s...

This presentation considers the foodways of plantation inhabitants in the antebellum costal South with reference to one particular food resource, the turtle.  Turtle remains represent a small but ubiquitous portion of faunal assemblages recovered from late 18th and early 19th century sites in the southern states, and historic documents indicate that antebellum Americans drew upon European, African, and Native American cooking traditions to create a turtle-based cuisine which played an important...

During the 16th century, Spain created an empire whose territories spanned Europe, America, and Asia. The most renowned ocean-going vessel employed by the Spanish during this period was the galleon. However, our knowledge of galleons is limited due to inaccuracies in their contemporaneous representations and the absence of archaeological evidence. This paper uses the Twelve Apostles, a series of newly-designed Spanish galleons built between 1589 and 1591, to bridge the gaps in our current state...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sea-level rise models demonstrate that, prior to the last glacial maximum, there was a larger landmass available for pre-contact human habitation in North America. Previous research has identified two landscape features offshore, situated 48 miles apart; both at water depths of 17 m BSL and both dated to...

Underwater archaeology was officially incorporated into the US Navy with the creation of a dedicated Branch (UAB) at Naval Historical Center, now Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) in 1996. This presentation discusses the reasons that led to the creation of the Branch, the hurdles that had to be overcome and unique problems posed by Navy ship and aircraft wrecks, the UAB program's development and growth, and major achievements, as well as the outlook for the future. Prominent ship and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Midwest Archeological Center (National Park Service) has long been at the forefront of geophysical surveys for archeological research and heritage management in the United States. Since the Center’s pioneering efforts to showcase the practicality of geophysical methods nearly 50 years ago, our use of ground-based surveys has become indispensable for...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The nineteenth-century Logan family cemetery is today marked by a large cement pad that was poured at some point during the 1950s across the cemetery in order to prevent vandalism. An inset marker listing some of the names of those interred and a fragmentary stone wall are the only indications of the former mortuary landscape. Even though it is now part of a public city park, this...

This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Early modern British Atlantic world port cities of North America were filled with a diverse cast of individuals and groups. Public space provided an area for the masses to gather and participate in activities for a variety of purposes. As part of a larger interdisciplinary project, this comparative analysis will primarily look at...

This paper compares faunal assemblages from two 1740s cellars located in the heart of the home lot of Ferry Farm—the childhood home of George Washington. Excavation of these cellars yielded rich assemblages of faunal material containing a wide array of animals and offering detailed perspectives on diet. What makes these cellars of special interest though is that they came respectively from the homes of the free Washingtons and the enslaved Washingtons. This means that these two contemporary...

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Ohio-based Maritime Archaeological Survey Team (MAST) and the Pennsylvania Archaeology Shipwreck Survey Team (PASST) both rely heavily on amateur, volunteer archaeologists to record and disseminate information about Lake Erie shipwrecks. Both are steered by a single professional maritime archaeologist...

This is an abstract from the "Developing Standard Methods, Public Interpretation, and Management Strategies on Submerged Military Archaeology Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Deadman’s Island (8SR782) and Town Point Shipwrecks (8SR983) are unidentified wrecks that were archaeologically investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned wrecks from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763-1781). The wrecks were found...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Deadman’s Island (8SR782) and Town Point Shipwrecks (8SR983) are unidentified wrecks that were investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned wrecks from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763-1781). Archaeological assessment of these two sites clearly indicated ships from early to middle 18th century construction, with wood from both Old World and New...
