Sacred or Mundane? Use of Comparative Zooarchaeology to Interpret Feature Significance at Kingsley Plantation, Jacksonville, Florida (2017)
Field schools offered by the University of Florida between 2006 and 2013 yielded exceptional potential to understand the lifeways of enslaved Africans who lived and labored at Kingsley Plantation, located on Fort George Island in Jacksonville, Florida (1814-1839). In 2013, excavations included a high-density deposit discovered in front of a slave cabin.

"Sad And Dismal Is The Story": Great Lakes Shipwrecks And The Folk Music Tradition (2017)
Music has often taken maritime disasters for its theme, and Great Lakes wrecks claim no shortage of songs.
