The Children of the Ludlow Massacre: The Impact of Corporate Paternalism on Immigrant Children in Early 20th Century Colorado Coal Mining Communities. (2016)
Coal Miner’s lives in Southern Colorado were fraught with violence and hardships during the Coal Wars. The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company attempted to assimilate ethnically diverse immigrant employees into American society. One of these methods was to impart American values to the children living in company towns. Archaeological work was conducted at the coal mining company town of Berwind, and at the Ludlow Massacre Tent Colony site. Using archaeological evidence and the historical record this...
The Children's Frontier: The Relationship Between the American Frontier Perspective and the Material Culture of Children (2016)
The cultural perspective that developed out of the American West during the expansionary period (1850-1900) is viewed as the product of adults. Characteristics of independence, self-reliance, and gender-role relaxation defined the western individual and group. While the physical and social frontier impacted the adult, their cultural perspective was closely linked to the eastern United States. In contrast, children of the frontier matured in an environment that was at odds with eastern...
Chinatown 1868 to 1920: Rock Springs, Wyoming (2017)
The Chinese settlement in this nineteenth century southwestern Wyoming coal mining town has unique elements. On September 2, 1885, when Chinatown was attacked and burned to the ground. This attack was devastating but by 1885 the Chinese immigrant population that lived in Rock Springs had developed a well-ordered, sophisticated interaction sphere that extended to most mining and railroad communities in southern Wyoming. This presentation looks at how the archaeological evidence from Chinatown...

A Chinese Camp in Nevada’s Cortez Mountains (2017)
Recorded in 1994 and excavated in 2009, site 26LA3061 is a late-19th century Chinese workmen’s camp located in the heart of central Nevada’s Cortez Mining District. The site had multiple habitations including dugouts, tent flats, and stone ruins, which yielded several interesting finds—the 6,000+ artifacts included domestic and foreign coins, lots of opium paraphernalia, and a lock of hair that underwent DNA testing. Cortez was infamous for its successful hiring of a large force of Chinese...
A Chinese Coin and Flaked Glass: The Unrecorded History of Smith Cove (2016)
In the tide flats of Smith Cove was one of Seattle’s small shantytowns, occupied between 1911 and 1941. In 2014, construction monitoring uncovered the remnants of this community, and with it, materials representing an itinerant, low-income, multi-cultural population. The artifacts indicate the presence of Native Americans, Japanese, Chinese, and Euro-Americans, and demonstrate how Smith Cove functioned as a multi-cultural nexus of traditional practices within a modern industrialized urban...
Chinese Immigrant Life in late-19th-century San Jose, California: Macroremains from Market Street Chinatown (2016)
Food provides an excellent means for exploring the experiences of the Overseas Chinese because it is integral to cultural identity and reflects adaptations to new environmental, economic, and social settings. Plant remains recovered from the late-19th-century Chinatown in San Jose, California, present a picture of the complexity of Chinatown life. They represent a variety of activities such as purchasing food and medicine from local farms and Chinese grocery stores to prepare for daily meals and...
The Chinese Massacre in Rock Springs, Wyoming and the Archaeological Evidence for the Movement of People affected by this event from 1885 to 1927 (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. When the Rock Springs Chinatown was looted and burned to the ground on September 2nd 1885, goods and people were scattered and lives were destroyed. The burial of the dead, the salvaging of possessions, and reconstruction of lives was stymied by political constrains. As a result, reconstructing the...
A Chinese porcelain Sherd of the Transitional Period found in New Mexico (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sherds of Chinese porcelain have been found in New Mexico, which was settled by the Spanish as early as 1598. The porcelain had come to Acapulco via the Manila galleon trade, and then arrived in New Mexico on the Camino Real. A site at San Lazaro has been erratically excavated, but is stilll worthy of study. Some of the sherds found at the site are not surprising: blue and white...
Chinese Railroad Workers At Central Pacific Stations Ca. 1870s-1880s (2016)
The Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) was completed in May 1869. Much of the work on that railroad was carried out by more than 10,000 ethnic Chinese workers. After completion of the railroad many, if not most, of them either returned to China or left for work in the mining industry or construction on other railroads. However, a large number remained with the CPRR to work on railroad maintenance. Ethnic Chinese appear to have been a dominant labor force through the mid 1880s, perhaps longer, as...
Chinese Railroad Workers in Utah: Connecting Past to Present (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. As a build up to the 150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad's completion on May 10, 1869, the Utah Division of State History and the Bureau of Land Management partnered to highlight the unique archaeological landscapes of this construction effort, now located on public lands in northeastern...
Chinese Railroad Workers in Wyoming and Mongolia, 1890-1955 (2015)
Chinese railroad laborers, who worked overseas, left a distinct archaeological foot print where ever they lived. Here we want to look at how this footprint is manifested in Mongolia and Wyoming (1890-1955). This comparison considers the similarity in topography and the dissimilarity in the land the immigrants worked in. What is intriguing is the similarity in material culture and spatial organization. We want to briefly present the similarities and dissimilarities between the two experiences,...

Chipped Stone Production, Scavenging, and Trade in Spanish Colonial New Mexico: New Evidence From San Antonio del Embudo (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Chipped stone is often found in archaeological deposits at 18th and 19th century settler villages of northern New Mexico, though there has been little critical assessment of settler traditions of lithic production and use. In this poster, we discuss an assemblage of over 500 chipped stone artifacts recovered from the small plaza site of San Antonio del...

Cholla Bud Roasting in St. George, Utah during the Early Pueblo II Period (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Hot Rocks in Hot Places: Investigating the 10,000-Year Record of Plant Baking across the US-Mexico Borderlands" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Cactus-bud procurement is not typically associated with Virgin Branch Ancestral Puebloan subsistence systems. Yet, when I visited a small artifact scatter on the apex of a rocky, cholla-covered hill near St. George, Utah, I was reminded of cactus-procurement landscapes on the...

Chronologies of English Ceramic Ware Availability in the 17th-Century Potomac River Valley (2018)
The mercantile networks that connected England to its North American colonial enclaves in the 17th century were tenuous and often fleeting. At the time, the manufacture and exchange of household goods mostly took place within local or regional networks. Thus, colonial access to objects made in the British Isles depended upon the local or regional networks merchants could access on both sides of the Atlantic Basin. Such mercantile uncertainty complicates the traditional means by which historical...
The Chronology of Basketmaker Perishable Craft Traditions in Southeastern Utah and Their Potential as Cross-Dating Proxies (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Cedar Mesa Perishables Project has documented almost 5,000 perishable artifacts from alcoves in southeastern Utah. As part of this research, the project has radiocarbon-dated more than 100 well-preserved textiles, sandals, baskets, wooden implements, and other perishable artifacts from Grand Gulch, Butler Wash, Allen Canyon, and Glen Canyon, creating...
The Chronology of Goat-Springs Pueblo (2018)
The site of Goat Springs Pueblo, in Socorro County, NM, is unusual for a relatively low density of artifacts compared to a large investment in architecture at the site. Consequently, the development of a site chronology is necessary to establish whether the low density of artifacts is attributable to a short period of occupation (or series of short occupations) - despite the considerable investment in architecture - or if another explanation is necessary. Complicating the construction of a...
Chuck’s Stomping Grounds and Historical Archaeology’s Haunts: Or, How Charles Orser’s Work Haunts Me (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Transformation of Historical Archaeology: Papers in Honor of Charles E Orser, Jr" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Chuck Orser has taken me all sorts of places, both geographic and intellectual. In fact, he has helped me see the value of connecting concept and place. This paper situates the sociopolitical dynamics of colonialism, Eurocentrism, capitalism, and modernity in their inescapably trans-Atlantic places by...
