Nail analysis is a tool to identify the function and changes of structures in late nineteenth century frontier buildings. Using techniques involving visual inspection and comparative analysis, one can identify the approximate age of the nails as well as practical uses for their type and size. The purpose of this paper is to show how nail analysis aids in our interpretation of the chronology and function of buildings at the Peter Dougherty site (1842-1852) on Old Mission Peninsula, Traverse City,...
A Narrative History of Lackland Air Force Base (2016)
Lackland Air Force Base dates from July 4, 1942, when the War Department separated the part of Kelly Field lying west of Leon Creek and made it an independent installation, naming it the San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center. From its acronym (SAACC), many people called the base sack, sack-c, or, less affectionately, sad sack. Even with its own name, townspeople and most military leaders continued to think of it as a part of Kelly Field. The base bore three awkward and innocuous designations in the...

Narratives of the Past: Positioning Modern Memory in a Historic Context (2013)
The field of historical archaeology is uniquely situated with simultaneous access to both past and present. Beyond analysis of material remains, researchers frequently take advantage of oral accounts to gain a more holistic understanding of past events. However, even when such accounts are not available from direct descendants, the possible use of oral histories in research should not be immediately discounted. Through investigations of a historic habitation in Charleston, South Carolina,...

Nasty Stuff In Historical Archaeology (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As it is the purpose of historical archaeology to unearth the unknown, there can be unpleasant surprises. Books have been written on the lurking dangers of artifacts, especially in regard to biological contagion. Chemical toxicity may also rear its ugly head, especially in laboratories like ours, where we focus on the chemical identification of historical...
Nat 20: Looking at Gaming Pieces and Gambling from the Haynie Site (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

I was given the opportunity to conduct a personal project dealing with a set type of artifacts of my own choosing. For my project, I decided to look at the gaming pieces from the Haynie site (5MT1905). My goal for this project was...
The Nate Harrison Historical Archaeology Project: Material, Methodological, and Theoretical Overviews (2018)

This paper offers an overview of the project’s most significant finds, places these ideas in context, and fosters comparisons between Harrison’s legend and the refuse uncovered at his hillside homestead. Instead of insisting that these lines of evidence be seen...
