Landscapes, Memory, and the Pueblo World (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Rethinking Persistent Places: Relationships, Atmospheres, and Affects" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Landscapes are entangled with social meaning. Societies that live upon a landscape imbue it with both cultural meaning and use them as mnemonic devices in order to preserve their histories. In turn, these culturally constructed meanings and mnemonics act in a feedback loop as both formulation and preservation of...
Landschaft and Placemaking at George Washington’s Ferry Farm (2013)
Ferry Farm is perhaps most well known as the site of George Washington’s boyhood home. However, between the early 18th century and the Civil War, it was intermittently the site of multiple occupations, including the home of a former indentured servant, the home of an overseer and his enslaved wife, in addition to the Washington's and their enslaved domestic servants. The homes these families constructed were part of a dynamic landscape that shifted meaning and context throughout time. This paper...

Language, Identity, and Communication: an Exploration of Cultural and Linguistic Hybridity in Post-Colonial Peru (2013)
In the viceroyalty of Peru under Francisco Toledo, cultural and political organization represented a fusion of European and Andean ethos, ideology, and language. Using archaeological data and historical analysis, this paper explores the intermixture of the European colonial political structure and traditions with the Inkan quadripartite social organization and dualistic beliefs. The paper discusses the combination of two record-keeping methods during the Toledan order: the Inkan khipus, a...

Las Animas City, Colorado Territory, USA: A "Half Mexican Village" in the American West (2013)
Las Animas City, Colorado Territory, USA, was founded in 1869 near the newly established military fort, New Fort Lyon. The town prospered as a supply center for the fort during the early 1870s, reaching a population of a few hundred residents. In 1871, Frances M. A. Roe, an army wife, described the settlement as "a half Mexican village" where she could purchase items from Mexico along with household supplies. The 1870 census suggests that Roe’s characterization of the town may not have reflected...
Las Cadenas que más nos Encadenan son las Cadenas que Hemos Roto: The Yucatecan Hacienda, Capitalist Mentalities, and the Production of Space and Identity (2015)
The modern era is distinguished by the increasing articulation of people and places within a globalizing world characterized by a capitalist world-economy that links the local and regional to the global within an integrated World-System. Central to this system is a worldwide division of labor that organizes individuals and households into exploitative relationships within global commodity chains. The Yucatan Peninsula, a geographically bounded and economically peripheral place, transcends...
Laser Scanning as a Methodology for the Documentation and Interpretation of Archaeological Ships: A Case Study Using the 18th Century Ship from Alexandria, VA and the 18th Century Ship Found Below the World Trade Center in New York. (2018)
In January of 2016, the remains of an 18th century wooden ship were found during construction on the waterfront of Alexandria, VA. The ship was excavated and stored, and in June of 2017, the disarticulated timbers were shipped to the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University for documentation and conservation. To document the ship, each individual timber is laser-scanned, and the individual laser scans are being re-assembled in the nurbs 3-D modelling suite Rhinoceros 5. This...
Lasers and Pixels: Using Terrestrial LiDAR and Photogrammetry to Record Rock Art at the Polychrome site in Montezuma Canyon (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry are quickly becoming extremely useful tools for archaeologists. This is especially the case for documenting complex rock art panels that can be difficult to fully represent using traditional techniques constrained to 2D formats. In contrast, terrestrial LiDAR and photogrammetry provide a...
Last Call! One More For The Road: Dissertating With Existing Collections (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the pursuit of acquiring knowledge a common culture of archaeological practice of keeping everything poses critical issues. Materials, at times unanalyzed and certainly underutilized, sit in repositories collecting dust while taking space and requiring financial obligations. These...

Chasing seal with motor boat, repeated throws up to 100 feet before success. Graphic shows “nuqaq” simple Arctic form with paddle handle, one hole for finger, ivory hook [much like the one I made]. [Nice article].
Lasting Legacies of the Hermitage Archaeology Program (2018)
With nearly 30 years of hindsight now available, my brief three years as archaeological field assistant at the Hermitage from 1988-1990 not only started what would become lifelong friendships with Larry McKee and Sam Smith, but also had significant and lasting impacts on how I approached the Middle Tennessee landscape, fieldwork, labwork, archival research, and archaeology in general over my career. Here, I will reflect on my personal "take away" from the distinctive methodological and...
The Late 1570s Manila Galleon Shipwreck in Baja California (2017)
Our fourteen Mexico-United States expeditions from 1999 to 2015 to a wreck site along the desert shore of Baja California, and study of contemporary documents, have enabled us to reconstruct the story of the earliest eastbound Manila galleon shipwreck. The results include dating the ship to the period 1574 through approximately 1578, recovering her history, and explaining her tragic fate. We have discovered lead sheathing with iron nails from her lower hull, large amounts of beeswax from her...
Late 17th-Century Demographic and Settlement Patterns Among Swedish Families in the Delaware Valley (2015)
Following Holland's takeover of the New Sweden colony in 1655, the Swedish communities along the Delaware River continued to grow and spread.

Late Archaic Maize in the Trans-Pecos of West Texas: Implications and Future Research (2021)
This is an abstract from the "The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The recovery of Late Archaic maize from the Trans-Pecos, peripheral to the American Southwest, adds to an expanding list of primary crop acquisition by foragers that occupied the arid region. The region, however, lacks clear demographic and settlement patterns diagnostic of this period from adjacent regions. Lacking key similarities, local...
