Reaching for the Channel, Part 3 (2016)
The preservation and exploration of William Dry’s wharf and the entire Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site waterfront would not be possible without the involvement of many different organizations and entities. What started as an archaeological project has evolved into one of the largest and most innovative shoreline stabilization projects in the nation. Archaeologists from the NC Department of Cultural Resources, United States Army Corps of Engineers, East Carolina University, Wake...
Readdressing Conservation In Situ: New Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Underwater Cultural Heritage Management (2016)
Protecting cultural heritage and disseminating archaeological research are two of the primary tenets of archaeology. Protocols, such as the 2001 UNESCO Convention, emphasize monitoring sites over excavation and conservation because of the financial constraints and labor involved, as well as the physical space needed to treat, store, and display collections. However, no concise field standards exist, few clear directives are offered, and as a result, the application of appropriate conservation...
Reading Animal Remains: Identifying community specific foodways through faunal analysis. (2018)
This study explores the diet of the enslaved communities at James Madison’s Montpelier by analyzing two faunal assemblages from the property. The three enslaved communities provide a look at the social structures and power dynamics of enslaved communities through diet. The presence of different species, both wild and domestic, shows the access available to different communities. this paper explores those relationships by comparing three enslaved communities through five different assemblages at...
Reading Between The Iron Lines: An Analysis Of Cannon Arrangement On Caribbean Shipwrecks (2018)
The aim of this study is to explore how cannon distribution on shipwreck sites can be analyzed to reflect the wrecking event of the ship, crew procedure or emergency action in jettisoning heavy artifacts during a time of disaster, post wrecking salvage operations and in situ changes on the site due to environmental factors like marine growth patterns and fluvial processes. The datasets will include unpublished archaeological information gathered during the 2015 and 2016 East Carolina University...
Reading between the Lines: Building the Historic Context for a Female Planter in mid-18th Century Piedmont Virginia (2017)
Records for females in 18th-century society are often scarce. Such is the case for our investigations into President James Madison’s Grandmother Frances Madison. Widowed in 1732, she ran the Montpelier plantation for the first thirty years of its existence. Using a combination of archaeological evidence, a scattering of court records, and information on her oldest son (James Madison, Sr.), we build a case for her intersection with paternalistic society and the mark she left on the destiny of the...
Reading, Writing, and Riots: Constructing Masculinity on an Antebellum College Campus (2015)
Recent archaeological excavations at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, have uncovered a rich assemblage related to one of its earliest buildings. The context in question, Graham Hall (occupied 1804-1835), served as a dormitory, chapel, and classroom space; this mixed space created an environment for college males to test social boundaries, bond with peers, and construct a regionally- and temporally-distinct version of masculinity. This poster integrates archaeological,...

Real Pirates of the Caribbean: Archaeological Interpretation of Captain Kidd and Captain Morgan’s Shipwrecks (2013)
Pirates have long captured our collective imaginations, yet very little concrete evidence has been observed in the archaeological record. In recent years, a number of projects have studied and searched for the remains of ships that belonged to some of history’s most infamous pirates, including Captain William Kidd and Captain Henry Morgan. As these ships were part of the budding globalization during the 17th century, the subsequent interpretation of these sites includes placing them in the...

The Real Value of an 1853 Dollar: A Foundation Rite Date Coin from the Levi Jordan Plantation House in Brazoria County, Texas (2017)
The Levi Jordan plantation house in Brazoria County, Texas, is a two-story, antebellum house made of cut lumber on a pier-and-beam foundation. It is currently a state historical park run by the Texas Historical Commission. The house underwent a full structural restoration between 2010 and 2012. It was raised above ground on steel beams and cribs to allow for repairs to the fireplace and wall foundations.

The Reality of Predictive Modeling: Experiences and Lessons Learned at Two Military Training Facilities (2018)
Department of Defense military training facilities occupy large areas across the US encompassing over 30 million acres. Facilities range in size from several acres to several million acres and are present in every state. While similar in scope to the National Park system, military lands are working lands with missions that often revolve around and include destruction and construction in various forms. These activities typically constitute a federal undertaking requiring the application of...
Realizing Autonomy: Building the Capacity of Senegal’s First Underwater Archaeologists (2018)
In April and May of 2017, two National Park Service (NPS) staff from the Submerged Resources Center (SRC) joined Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD) staff and post-graduate students in Dakar, Senegal. The three-week project was a response to a request for technical assistance by the U.S. State Department, UCAD, and other partners for underwater archaeological training and capacity building as part of the Slave Wrecks Project (SWP). While in Senegal, SRC staff contributed to ongoing marine...
A Reanalysis of Human Remains from a Cemetery at Catoctin Furnace (2016)
More than three decades ago, a highway expansion project resulted in the excavation of thirty-five historic graves at Catoctin Furnace. Initial analysis was conducted by Smithsonian anthropologist J. Lawrence Angel, who identified the remains as African or African-American, presumably associated with the late eighteenth – mid-nineteenth century operation of the iron works. This report presents updated assessments of demography and pathology, as well as stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data to...
Reanalysis of the Japanese Gulch Village Collection: Japanese Ceramics Recovered from a Pacific Northwest Issei Community (2018)
Japanese Gulch Village, located on the Mukilteo Lumber Company complex in Washington State, was home to a community of Issei millworkers and their families between 1903 and 1930. Excavations conducted in the vicinity of this village in 2007 recovered a large archaeological collection that included at least 100 Japanese-manufactured ceramic vessels. This paper presents a reanalysis of a selection of these vessels using an expanded typology specific to historical Japanese table- and sake wares....
Reanalyzing "The Rise": A Gobernador Phase Navajo Habitation Site in Northwest New Mexico. (2018)
In 2003, a master’s thesis project examined a multicomponent Navajo habitation site dating to the 17th-18th centuries in the Dinétah region of northwest New Mexico. The initial survey program carried out a number of activities, including site mapping, surface collection, and artifact analyses; however, certain questions were left unanswered. A new phase of research initiated in the summer of 2017 aims to better characterize the site and explore the possibility of a pastoral adaptation on the...
Reanalyzing Colonoware at Drayton Hall (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Contact and Colonialism" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Colonoware, a low-fired earthenware made by both enslaved Africans and Native Americans, is a ceramic tradition reflecting the interactions of these two groups with Europeans in colonial North America. The academic understanding of colonoware and its diversity has been enhanced in recent years by an intense increase in publications and research...

Reassessing Agricultural Potential in Chaco Canyon: Exploring the Link between Soil Salinity and Soil Texture (2018)
Determining the soil salinity of a site can aid in the assessment of the agricultural potential of a particular area, thus enabling researchers to draw conclusions about the potential for cultivation and subsistence intensification. Studies pertaining to soil salinity in Chaco Canyon often argue that the electrical conductivity (EC) levels within the area—a standard proxy measure of soil salinity—were too high for maize farming in many areas of the canyon, drastically limiting the potential...
