Villages on the Edge of the Edge: Reflections on the Changing Economics of Irish Coastal Communities (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Kuijt.

Island village communities are both physically detached from, and connected with, mainland urban and foreign economic communities.   In the context of 19th to 20th century Irish fishing communities, landlords owned entire islands and ran them as economic enterprises.  On the Connemara islands of Inishark, Inishbofin, and Inishturk, tenants often lived in close physical proximity to each other, in villages of a hundred or more people, paying rent to the landlord in exchange for use of stone...

Violence, Silence and Four Truths in American Historical Memory (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara J. Little.

Just days before I wrote this abstract, the city of New Orleans finished removing four monuments to the Confederacy and the Lost Cause, inspiring other cities to consider the same. This example of people taking control of the narrative inscribed in their own landscape serves as backdrop to this session in which we reflect on the changing nature of place-based historical memory. I consider the changing nature of America and what it means to be a society that appears to be moving away from a...


Virtual Archaeology: Teaching Archaeology Using Virtual Reality And Game-based Learning (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Laura L Shackelford. Emma L Verstraete. Wen-Hao Huang. Cameron Merrill. Alan Craig.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Despite the importance of field work in teaching archaeology, field opportunities are available to few students due to logistical, financial, or mobility constraints. To address these challenges, we have created a virtual archaeology undergraduate course that uses game-based learning strategies to convey archaeological concepts and technical skills. We present the initial design and...


Virtual Public Archaeology: Using 3D Imaging and Printing to Engage, Educate, and Enthrall the Public (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kevin A Gidusko. Bernard K. Means.

Recent advances in 3D modeling, coupled with reduced costs, provides broad access to these technologies, making them increasingly viable tools for archaeologists to share information not only with each other, but also with the public. Two case studies representing this type of public archaeology can be found in the separate efforts currently undertaken...


Virtual Shipwrecks; Photogrammetry and User Interface Design in Archaeological Outreach (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean C Cox.

In the past decade, new software has made it easier and less expensive for archaeologists to use the tools of photographers and game designers to produce novel outreach tools with photogrammetry. Among these relatively new applications is the ability to create virtual worlds from photographic and video data. The public can now access a number of archaeological sites through game platforms, like Steam, using VR goggles and mobile devices to experience a site. This paper addresses means of...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher M. Grant.

This is an abstract from the "One of a Kind: Approaching the Singular Artifact and the Archaeological Imagination" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Buttons, buckles, and jewelry have long fascinated historical archaeologists for their capacity to address questions pertaining to social identity and the presentation of self in everyday life. But such artifacts are valued for more than their mere historical associations, often inciting scholarship...

Voices Amid the Stone Trees: Historic Era Rock Art and Inscriptions of Petrified Forest National Park (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Maxwell Forton.

Petrified Forest National Park is recognized for its rich fossil deposits, stunning vistas, and Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites. Almost lunar in appearance, the arid landscape is often depicted and perceived as a primordial wilderness frozen in time.  However, recently archaeologists have recorded and researched a range of historic era inscriptions and petroglyphs in the park’s backcountry. Despite documenting the presence of a diverse array of peoples upon this landscape, historic...

Voices of a Community: How Oral Histories Can Guide Japanese American Archaeology (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Dana O. Shew.

Archaeological research on the Japanese diaspora has grown considerably in the last decade but there is still plenty of room for broadening studies to understand and explore the importance, depth, and influence of the Japanese American experience. Oral histories of the Japanese American community reveal what is important to them and help us discover new perspectives that can guide and inform a much needed archaeological expansion of this field. Oral histories lead archaeologists to the people,...


Waders and Snake Chaps: Targeted Exploration and Ground Truthing in the Great Dismal Swamp (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Becca Peixotto.

The Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina was home to disenfranchised Native Americans, enslaved canal company laborers and maroons who lived in the wetlands temporarily and long term ca. 1660-1860.  This paper discusses recent and ongoing research to identify mesic islands, likely sites of maroon occupation, in the interior of the Swamp.  In the past decade, the Great Dismal Swamp Landscape Study (GDSLS) has intensively investigated a few maroon and enslaved labor sites, leaving...


The Wagner-Case Site: Pharmaceutical Historical Archaeology on the Western Frontier (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Schuyler.

Examination of the site of a 19th century drug store (ca. 1877-1889) at Silver Reef, a ghost town in southwestern Utah, involved excavations in both the ground and in the archives. Established and run by Julius Wagner (1877-1882) and then taken over by Charles H. Case (1884-1889), the site was the primay pharmacy for this mining community. Excavation under the floor of this former false-fronted, wood frame building recovered a small but informative assemblage of pharmaceutical items.. Many years...


Wagons, Trains, Trucks, and Bottles: Transportation Networks and Commodity Access in Castroville, Texas. (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kellam Throgmorton.

Transportation networks greatly influence the movement of commodities into a community. This paper uses a model of commodity flow developed by Pred (1964) and elaborated on by Adams and colleagues (2001) to analyze glass bottle assemblages from Castroville, Texas. The model suggests that a combination of commodity value, shipping costs, and distance from the North American manufacturing hub influence the movement of goods around the country ca. 1880-1950, creating regional differences in market...
