Fireplaces and Foundations: Architecture at Fort St. Joseph (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erika K Loveland.

Fort St. Joseph was an eighteenth-century mission, garrison, and trading post located along the St. Joseph River in present-day Niles, Michigan. Architectural elements discovered through excavation over the past decade at the fort provide insights on the techniques and materials used in the construction of associated buildings. Historic documents reveal little information on the fort’s built environment, highlighting the importance of archaeological evidence. This architectural analysis relies...

First a Burial Ground, then a Parade Ground, then a Park, then a Revelation (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joan H. Geismar.

Washington Square Park in New York City’s historic Greenwich Village is a prime example of a burying ground that is now a beloved urban park. In 2005, renovations to this historical park in a Landmark district required archaeology. That the park was a former Potter’s Field, by definition, the final resting place of the indigent and unknown, was recognized by the New York City Parks Department and local history buffs. The question was, did burials from the cemetery years (1797 to 1825) remain?...

First Aid in the Field: Creating a Conservation Protocol for the Recovery of Brunswick Town Artifacts (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brandon J Eckert.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Since that time, laboratory conservation, additional historical research, the production of numerous student...

First Person Archaeology: Exploring Fort St. Joseph through Go-Pro Footage (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Austin J George. Erika K Loveland.

The public seldom understands the complexity of what archaeology is and the many activities that archaeologists conduct in the course of site investigations. The Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project examines an eighteenth-century mission, garrison, and trading post in present-day Niles, Michigan, ensuring that the community’s education and involvement remain the primary goals. Throughout the 2015 field season, we filmed hours of point-of-view footage using a Go-Pro camera to show the ways in...

Fish or Flint? A Cursory Examination of a Method for Identifying Buried Lithic Artifacts Underwater (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Morgan F. Smith. Shawn Joy. Yong-Joe Kim.

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. Recent research has demonstrated the potential for the remote identification of human altered lithic material in underwater contexts. The underlying principle of this method is the ability of low frequency sound waves to resonate within lithic materials of an ideal shape, making the material vibrate....

They practiced pound net fishing, a historic and lucrative commercial fishing technique in the...

Fitting Overseers Into The Plantation Picture: Spatial Analysis At The Oval Site (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Douglas W. Sanford. Andrew P. Wilkins.

Studies of plantation landscapes often focus either on the siting of mansions, quarters, and other structures across the plantation at a large scale by the owner, or attempts by the enslaved to exert control over the small-scale spaces of their own houses and yards. This paper adds to the consideration of how examining and comparing small-scale landscapes can contribute to a discussion of the creation and negotiation of intermingled racial and class-based boundaries within plantation contexts. ...

Five Feet High and Rising: Flood Impacts to Archaeological Sites and Response Efforts at Death Valley National Park (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Juanita Bonnifield. Wanda Raschkow. Erin Dempsey. Elizabeth A. Horton. Elaine Dorset.

On 18 October 2015, a severe storm system stalled out over Death Valley National Park resulting in a massive flood. Rushing flood waters heavily damaged roads, utilities, archaeological sites, and buildings. Grapevine Canyon, a major canyon in the northwest portion of the park and home to the historic Scotty’s Castle, was among the areas hit hardest. Post-flood condition assessments on thirty archaeological sites determined that within the canyon, pre-contact and historical archaeological sites...

Five Pounds Beef, Five Pounds Poi, and One Gallon Milk: Archaeological and Social Implications of Employee Meat Allowances on Hawaiʻi's Parker Ranch (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Benjamin T Barna. Lauren M U K Tam Sing.

During a recent contract project on Hawaiʻi Island’s Parker Ranch, ASM Affiliates recorded the ranch’s former slaughterhouse and interviewed several former ranch employees who had been involved in slaughtering and butchering the ranch's beef. Our discussions with them included descriptions of a beef allowance provided by Parker Ranch to its employees, a practice one of many ways the ranch took care of its own. Because the allowance was limited to specific cuts of meat, we analyized faunal...

Flat Ontologies, Identity and Space at Carolina Forts (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Charles R. Cobb.

English forts in the Carolina colony embody the ongoing struggle between the ambitions of imperial impositions and the aspirations of frontier autonomy. This tension is acutely reflected in the spatial organization of forts. Whereas colonial authorities sought to separate Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans through the formal segregation of the built environment, life on the frontier encouraged a fluidity in space and identity. The theoretical construct of flat ontologies can be used to...

These obstructions consist of shipwrecks, bricks, and wood pilings. This Confederate obstruction provides a unique...

Fleets of Cahuita: Recording and Interpreting the Costa Rica Fishing Boats (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bryan S Rose.

Today Cahuitan fishermen often build and design their own fishing boats used for snorkel tours, lobster diving and artisanal fishing. These watercraft come in a variety of sizes, design and hull decorations. The builders have detailed knowledge about functions and features. Up until the early 1980s all these watercraft were log boat designs, evolving rapidly into modern fiberglass or dugouts covered in fiberglass. Distinctively designed oars are handmade with machetes and used to propel boats...
