Government Maritime Managers Forum XXVI: "The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea" (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Victor T Mastone.

While this quote from Ovid is often found at the beginning of shipwreck stories, it is applicable the present political situation facing the protection of heritage. Government managers of submerged cultural resources find themselves between storm and calm on a nearly daily basis. We must balance a diverse set of problems, competing interests, and difficult decisions in response to an ever-increasing need to recognize and accommodate a wide range of appropriate uses. Managers use a variety of...

Governmental Opportunities for Preserving Heritage Resources (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tristan J Harrenstein.

Engaging local governments on preservation issues is challenging for a number of reasons. Perhaps the subject does not interest them, they see heritage as in the way, or they simply have other concerns. To top this off, we can spend a year developing relationships, only to have someone replace them the next election. The Governmental Opportunities for Preserving Heritage Resources (GOPHR) is a new program by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) attempting to address this issue. GOPHR is...

Grabbing the Brass Ring: Assessing the Evidence of the Lost Colony (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Charles Ewen.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Contact and Colonialism" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Lost Colony of Roanoake disappeared over 400 years ago and clues to its fate have remained sparse and open to debate. The discovery of a "gold" signet ring at an archaeological site on North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 1998 appeared to finally provide some tangible evidence for the location of at least some of the colonists. Twenty years...

The Grande Ballroom, Detroit: Four Decades of Music History in Ruins (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Krysta Ryzewski.

This paper discusses the archaeological and historical survey of the Grande Ballroom, an epicenter of entertainment and socializing for generations of musicians and young adult music fans in Detroit, from the time of its opening as a big band-era dance hall in 1928 until it closed as a rock club in 1972. The Grande lies in ruin today, but archaeology demonstrates how its extant material traces and historical transformations over the course of four decades charts the course of popular music...

The Grave Diggers’ Lament: Early 20 th Century Solutions to a Loose Sediment Predicament (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Molly A. Hall. Brett Lang.

Early 20th century excavators had to contend with loose, sandy sediments when digging the graves at the Scott Family Cemetery in Dallas. More than a century later, archaeologists had to find solutions for the same problem while moving that cemetery. Even with advances in technology and methodology, the pitfalls and solutions were surprisingly similar. The archaeologists found evidence that the original excavators shored the walls with wood, stepped the shafts, and had to dig the holes larger...

Great Dismal Swamp Land Study (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jordan Riccio. Justin E. Uehlein. Becca Peixotto.

The Great Dismal Swamp Landscape Study (GDSLS), which was formed in 2002, has been investigating the swamp by means of archaeological excavation.

Current research focuses on the interior, or...

The Great House and the Old Plate (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean Devlin.

Archaeological interpretations of consumption have long recognized its role in the construction of social identities and in the furtherance of social goals. While much of the historical archaeology of Jamaica, and indeed the Caribbean more broadly, has focused on exploring the consumption choices of enslaved Africans and African descendants, similar studies of archaeologically recovered planter patterns have not received as much attention. Yet, as archaeologies of whiteness are beginning to...

The Greek House that America Built: Remittance Archaeology in the Global South (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kostis Kourelis.

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