The Liquid Gold Rush: Oil and the Archaeological Boom (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew J Robinson.

The Gold Rush of the 19th century brought people, jobs, and money to the western US, creating the first major boom. Since then, the US has advanced into other profitable avenues, in particular oil and natural gas. The 20th century saw the dramatic increase in the necessity for oil across the globe, which has led to a new boom, the "Liquid Gold Rush." As technology advanced, such as fracking, in the later part of the 20th and into the 21st Century, archaeology became entwined with oil and its...

A Lithic Analysis of Paraje San Diego, New Mexico, United States (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Paul W. van Wandelen.

For nearly three hundred years of official use, with long periods of unofficial use both pre- and post-dating the road, the Camino Real del Tierra Adentro served as one of the major conduits of transportation in New Mexico. Along the route, campsites, known as parajes, were established to provide adequate stopping points and access to resources for the variety of travelers which used the road. Paraje San Diego, one of the most established of these stopping points in the Jornada del Muerto, was...

Lithic Communities of Practice at the Missions of La Florida (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Charles R. Cobb. Gifford Waters.

Lithic data have received sparse attention in research on the Franciscan missions of Spanish La Florida. A re-analysis of the collections from three seventeenth-century interior missions reveals that Native Americans continued to rely on a diverse lithic technological tradition well after arrival of friars in their communities and the subsequent importation of metal tools. This pattern is also reflected in historical accounts where, for example, Native Americans were mandated to maintain quotas...

Lithic Technology in the Middle Potomac River Valley of Maryland and Virginia (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wm Jack Hranicky.

J. Whittaker: [Full of useful information on lithics and related topics much beyond the focus on Middle Potomac, but rather incoherently organized and written, and he’s too fond of creating bad new jargon.] Lots of illustrations of varying quality. Major sections on chronology, lithic technology, point typology, flake tools, caches, miscellaneous implements, and experimental archaeology. [Small section on atlatls, not well defined, not very useful information. Illustrates atlatl hook of...

Lithic Technology Part I: Percussion Biface Replication (1973)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Errett Callahan.

This film on percussion bifacing was never completed (i.e. no sound). Though it roughly follows the ideas which later turned out to be THE BASICS, it is marred by poor visuals and amateurish camera work. I reedited it in 1981, into a 22 minute piece. It was put on videotape by the Schiele Museum in Gastonia, NC and they make it available for research purposes. It’s more a curio than an education. Of special interest, however, may be the fact that a number of the pieces shown in THE BASICS are...

Lithics Revisited: An Analysis of Native American Stone Tool Technology In The Middle Chesapeake (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary Kate Mansius.

Historical archaeologists often point to the arrival of Europeans in the 17th century as a catalyst for change in aspects of indigenous lifeways. This is especially true concerning lithic technology, when the metanarrative often describes Native Americans quickly swapping their stone tools for the "superior" metal tools of Europeans. Recent studies, such as Carly Harmon’s paper, Analyzing Native American Lithic Material Culture from 1600 to 1700 (2012), have challenged such thinking;...

A "Little Alsace" for the Lone Star State: Alsatian Migration and the Construction of Place, Narrative, and Identity on the Texas Frontier (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia G. Markert.

This paper examines placemaking and identity in the Alsatian colonies of Texas. On the eve of Texas statehood, Alsatian migrants settled lands to the west of San Antonio. Displaced or disenfranchised by the turmoil of 19th century Europe, Alsatian families, often farmers, responded to advertisements by empresarios touting free passage, land, and opportunity in a "land of milk and honey." They arrived unprepared for the harsh realities of the Texas landscape, particularly life on the Republic’s...

Little Guns on the Big Elk: Discovering Fort Hollingsworth (1813-1815), Elkton, Maryland (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Gibb. William E. Stephens. Peter Quantock.

Fort Hollingsworth, erected by the citizens of Cecil County, Maryland, in April 1813 to protect the area from British incursions, was one of a series of small breastworks that protected the upper reaches of the Chesapeake Bay and the ‘back door’ to Philadelphia during the War of 1812. Fort Hollingsworth saw brief action in 1814 and, after the war, was demolished and the land returned to farming. Geophysical survey, exploratory soil borings, and detailed topographic mapping, and focused...

"Little necessaries or comforts": Enslaved Laborers’ Access to Markets within the Anglophone Caribbean (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lynsey A. Bates.

At the household level, analysis of material culture recovered from Caribbean plantation villages has revealed internal groups with differential access to resources. The dynamic economic systems that enslaved people developed necessarily depended on local expectations of labor and subsistence cultivation, as well as Atlantic shifts in commodity prices and political control. Expanding on household studies, I assess marketing strategies between plantation communities by tracing how imported goods...

The Little Things (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew A. Cox.

"It’s the little things…" this often-used quote sums up one of the most important things that I learned while working with Dr. Scott. Whether it was taking the time to show us how to properly sharpen our trowels during an excavation, reminding us to double check our data, and to make sure to keep artifacts together by their respective proveniences when in the lab, each of these little pieces of advice helped to shape my own career. I find her advice on the little things coming back to me at the...

The Little Town That Could: The Railroad in Sandpoint, Idaho 1880-1935 (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bailey M. Cavender.

This paper investigates the history of Sandpoint, Idaho and the impact that the railroad had on it from the time surveyors for the Northern Pacific Railroad arrived in 1880 until 1935. Sandpoint was not only a stopping point for the Northern Pacific, but for the Great Northern Railway as well. The use of the railroad impacted the course of the United States in a major way. By allowing the easier and often safer transportation of goods and people across the county, the national economy was able...

Lives Wrought in the Furnace: New Research on the Labor Force at Catoctin Furnace (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth A. Comer.

Starting in 1776, Catoctin Furnace was a thriving iron-making community at the base of the Catoctin Mountains in northern Frederick County, Maryland. Enslaved blacks and European immigrants comprised the labor force. The growth of large iron-making corporations ultimately doomed this rural industrial complex, and it ceased operation in 1903. We know much about the owners of the complex. However, the story of the laborers is only beginning to emerge. Several archaeological reports and a recent...

The Living and the Dead: The Icelandic Household From Early Medieval to Historic Times. (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimmarie A Murphy. Guðný Zoëga.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Medieval to Modern Transitions and Historical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. How does one reconstruct population demography in the past and what lines of evidence exist to assist in these interpretations? The census of 1703 recorded information about household composition in Iceland and this rich resource has been used as a proxy for early population demography. Until recently, actual cemetery...

Living and Working in the Heart of Seattle: An Archaeological Examination of an Early-Twentieth Century Site in the Cascade Neighborhood (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jordan E Pickrell.

In 2016, Historical Research Associates, Inc., conducted archaeological testing at an urban site in the Cascade neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Below 15 feet of fill, we identified an archaeological site dating to the early twentieth century. Data recovery excavations at the site focused on four features, including two intact privy shafts containing domestic debris deposited between 1905 and 1910. This paper provides an overview of the project from identification and testing of the site,...
