How Geomorphology Can Benefit Archaeology (2017)
This research demonstrates the importance of geomorphology in archaeological field observations and studies. To receive accurate and faster results of terrestrial sites, one must see the area in a geomorphic view. Just from recognizing geomorphic characteristics, one can see the patterns of how the environment has cultivated. Turning back chronologic time and being able to visualize how people lived in their environments is extremely important for any archaeologist. The everyday life of past...

How Revolutionary is Chinese Diaspora Archaeology? (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

I draw on recently published literature and on an imminently forthcoming...
How the Chinese Built Yosemite (And Nobody Knows About It) (2016)
Many of the nineteenth century roads that enabled Yosemite National Park to become a national treasure – Wawona Road, Glacier Point Road, Great Sierra Wagon Road, and the Washburn Road to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias ‒ were built by Chinese workers. Chinese cooks, servants, hotel employees, and farm/ranch hands contributed to the park’s tourist services into the early 20th century. Today, few traces of this Chinese presence remain: stone walls, roadbeds, bridges, and a handful of...

How These Pots Can Talk: Relevancy and Purpose of Archaeology in the Slave Wrecks Project. (2018)
Underneath the well-manicured landscape of Christiansted National Historic Site stood the center of Danish Caribbean commerce, the Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse.

Since 2015, the National Park Service, as partners in the Slave Wrecks Project, has been conducting a community archaeological program that introduces archaeology and heritage management to local students. The goal of this...

How to Reduce the Boxes in your Laboratory and Produce Good Research: Archaeobotanical Analyses and Rehabilitated Collections (2015)
We have all heard the adage that "one hour in the field equals ten in the lab". It is proof of this saying that nearly every archaeological laboratory boasts an impressive collection of meticulously collected soil samples. Nearly every complex archaeological excavation has the potential to yield hundreds or even thousands of liters of carefully collected sediment, despite the excavator’s knowledge that the mass majority will never be analyzed. Archaeobotanists can find great research value in...
