The territorial waters of Virginia contain several thousand historically significant shipwrecks from over 400 years of occupation and development by Europeans. This GIS and HARP are tools to effectively protect and manage these resources by locating and assessing submerged shipwreck resources that could be impacted by development and other activities.

This report synthesizes archaeological data from nineteenth and early twentieth-century sites that have been identified and/or studied in the Coastal Plain of Virginia. The document focuses on the Antebellum (1830-1860) and Postbellum (also known as Reconstruction and Growth) eras (1865-1917) because the associated sites are frequently difficult to evaluate since the significant research issues that are applicable have not been well-defined.

The Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Branch (NREAB) at Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ) directed JMA (John Milner Associates, Inc.), as a subcontractor of EDAW, Inc., to undertake an investigation of 50 locations identified by Silverthron (n.d.). The Silverthorn (n.d.) survey provides a baseline for historic occupations on Silverthorne study of house sites on the Guadalcanal portion of MCBQ. This un dated survey shows the locations of aboveground historic resources (farmsteads,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the 1970s, archaeologists located many of the lost buildings at the site of Liberty Hall Academy, which operated from 1782 until 1803. Their interpretation focused exclusively on the Academy Period, which left many questions remaining about a site occupied continuously from the 1740s until today in an area with indigenous...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research at Texas A&M University's Conservation Research Laboratory" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In early 2018 three ships were discovered during construction along Alexandria, Virginia’s historic waterfront. These three ship remnants were likely scuttled and dismantled in the late 18th, early 19th centuries to be used in banking out efforts to expand the City of Alexandria to bring the shore...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research on Virginia Plantations: Reexamining Historic Landscapes" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Living things have much to tell archaeologists. This paper will discuss ongoing research on the ways living things can be approached archaeologically, with case studies drawn from historic landscapes in Virginia. Living plants and animals can be considered as individual artifacts, as landscape-scale...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Race, Racism, and Montpelier" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Vesselization is an essential method for more accurately understanding the number, form, and use of vessels at a site. When paired with new technologies, like GIS, it can be used to understand how people’s behavior and interactions with the landscape affect how vessel sherds are deposited. Working with legacy data, I used GIS to identify vessels...

Combined pollen and phytolith analyses were undertaken on five samples from the Utopia I Site (44JC32). This domestic site for enslaved African Americans exhibited two periods of occupation between approximately 1700 and 1750. Documentary evidence is strong that the components, separated spatially, were occupied by successive generations of enslaved peoples on the same plantation.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research on Virginia Plantations: Reexamining Historic Landscapes" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Located only 200 feet east of Thomas Jefferson’s retreat house lay two unassuming brick structures constructed in the 1850s. Based on oral history, one initially housed black enslaved laborers, while the other housed a white overseer and his family. While Jefferson’s architectural showpiece often...

Site 44FX0543, located in the western Piedmont region of Fairfax County at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, has had a long debated function by archaeologists and historians. A problematic interpretation of the site function as an enslaved African American dwelling dating to an unknown temporal period of ownership was the result of misinterpretation of landscape, previous archaeological investigations, and the likely misinformation gained through second-hand oral histories of the parkland. The research...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Returning to Colonial Williamsburg (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1964, Colonial Williamsburg archaeologists excavating an 18th-century well uncovered an unusual and exciting cache of artifacts as they neared the bottom of the brick lined shaft. This assemblage included dozens of complete wine bottles, many of which bore the seal of John Custis IV, the owner of the property the well...
