Military Landscapes and Balancing Historic Preservation (2018)
When considering cultural landscapes, military installations are unique due to their development through continued use for defense-related purposes. As a result of this active use, military cultural landscapes continue to evolve, changing yet staying the same in terms of function. Many military installations such as Camp Clark and Camp Crowder in Missouri, contain a variety of cultural resources. Maintaining the balance between the National Guard's military mission and heritage preservation can...
A Military Site Case Study of Agency and Practice (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Military Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The military is a hierarchically organized social network defined by rules and regulations, but it is through agency and practice that its structure is actuated. Despite expectations of conformity and uniformity of actions, significant variability in agency occurs. Agents in a military context possessed shared practice, evident in martial drills, use of weapons, and...
The Mill Swamp/Ralph J. Bunche Community Center Restoration Project (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Public and Our Communities: How to Present Engaging Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In July 2017, the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) partnered with the Mill Swamp community, both located in Edgewater, Maryland, in an effort to restore and preserve the history of their historic Rosenwald type school. Since 1970, after integration, this building had served the Mill Swamp commnity as...
The Mills of the Cortez Mining District (2016)
Organized in 1863, the Cortez Mining District is located in central Nevada and was an early silver producer. The mining technology employed at Cortez included the Washoe and Reese River pan amalgamation processes, the Russell leaching process, cyanide leaching, and oil flotation. Cortez was also the proving grounds for the cyanide heap leaching that began in the late 1960’s and has since spread throughout the world. New milling technology, once brought into the district, was subject to...
Milwaukee's Common Grave: Spatial Distribution and Compositional Characteristics of Multiple Interments in a Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Potter's Field (2017)
Initially established for burial of the city’s unclaimed, indigent, and institutionalized, the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery quickly became a convenient disposal venue for city institutions such as the Milwaukee Medical College, Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Milwaukee County Coroner’s Office. Excavations at the site in 1991-1992 and 2013 revealed a unique subset of burials containing the partial remains of multiple individuals, many of whom show evidence of autopsy and...
A Mimbres Mogollon Sacred Landscape as Seen from an Early Classic Period Communal Structure at City of Rocks State Park, Southwestern New Mexico (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper, we discuss elements of what we argue were components of a sacred landscape imbued with meaning as seen from a Mimbres Mogollon communal structure at City of Rocks State Park in southwestern New Mexico. The structure dates to the early Classic period and falls into the poorly understood period of time marking the evolution of Mimbres communal...
Mind the Gap: Absolute Dating of Middle Gila River Canals provides Evidence for 1,500 Years of Continuous Irrigation Agriculture in the Phoenix Basin (2021)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Evidence suggests that the first irrigation canals along the Middle Gila River were built by at least the Vahki phase ca. AD 450, and the construction and use of canals continued throughout the remainder of prehistory. Canal systems are also a prominent part of the historical lifeway of the Akimel O'Odham who live in the Hohokam core area today, with reported...
Mind the Gap: Images Depicting The Short-Lived History Of the Larabee’s Point And Willow Point Rail Crossing In Southern Lake Champlain (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The connection between Larabee's Point in Shoreham, VT and Willow Point, NY was a short-lived but important southern connection across Lake Champlain during rail transportation in the late 19th and early 20th century. The history of this connection is wrought with enough challenges that some might wonder if it was cursed. More likely, the challenges were due to the harsh environment that...
Mind The Gap: Issues In The Dissemination Of Digital Archaeological Data (2016)
Recent research into the dissemination of digital archaeological data in Virginia suggests that effective access is complicated by issues of licensing, citation, permanence, context, and data interoperability. Additionally much of the data remains digitally inaccessible, suggesting both a digital curation problem, and also the concept of a data gap – a difference between interest in other people’s data, and a willingness to make data available. Further support for this data gap, seen in many...
Mind the Gap: The Evolution of Forensic Archaeology in Military Remains Recovery (2017)
The Defense POW-MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) is responsible for the recovery of U.S. servicemembers' remains from past conflicts. This paper will briefly review the history of military remains recovery by the U.S. government, focusing on the personnel responsible for field recovery as well as the methods typically employed. We will then explore the evolving role of archaeologists in the accounting community, and how this parallels the modern development of forensic archaeology as a distinct...

Mineralogical and Micromorphological Analysis of Gypsum Washes at Casa Grande National Monument (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The great house at Casa Grande National Monument, Arizona, occupied circa 1350-1450 CE, is a four-story Hohokam structure made of puddled earth. All of the interior surfaces are finished similarly with individual clay (illite and palygorskite) and gypsum washes. Together, these two fine-finish materials give the walls a uniquely consistent red color and sheen....
Miner’s Delight: An Investigation into the Material Culture of Social Drugs on the Frontier (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Considering Frontiers Beyond the Romantic: Spaces of Encroachment, Innovation, and Far Reaching Entanglements" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The early 19th century saw an influx of settlers, miners, and profiteers from both the established United States and foreign nations into the western frontier in search of wealth through the mining and smelting of lead. What they brought with them were consumption...
A Mini-ROV Expedition to the S.S. Tahoe: Citizen Scientists, Engineers, and Archaeologists Exploring the Deep—Together (2017)
The Steamer Tahoe is the most celebrated vessel of Lake Tahoe’s historic past and represents the golden age of recreation and transportation in the region. She was launched with great fanfare on June 24, 1896 and spent the next 40 years in service around the lake. The S. S. Tahoe was scuttled off Glenbrook, Nevada in 1940 where she settled at a depth between 350-470 feet. A multidisciplinary team, including an online community, explored the wreck in June 2016 using an OpenROV drone to record...

Mining the Land, Mining the Sea: Informal Economy and Drinking Spaces in the Resource Extraction Communities of Highland City, Montana and the Isles of Shoals, Maine. (2015)
Frontiers spaces are zones of meeting, interaction, dynamism, and change. Current research has sought to fight the image of frontier spaces as locations needing westward-moving civilization. Instead, examining frontier locales comparatively has proved to be a more effective approach. My doctoral research intends to contribute to the comparative approach in frontier archaeology by examining the way that the actions of frontier inhabitants (including negotiation, conflict, and cohesion) combined...
Minnesota’s Historic Human Remains Project: Research Methods and the Identities of Human Skeletal Remains (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2017 the Minnesota legislature awarded a Legacy grant to fund the Historic Human Remains Project. The intent of the project was to identity human skeletal remains discovered in disturbed, undocumented graves, identify living descendants (if possible), and facilitate the reburial process. In certain circumstances, human remains not of American Indian ancestry fall under the...

Misidentification on the American Frontier: Queer Perspectives on Identity Classification in Historical Archaeology (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Future Is Fluid...and So Was the Past: Challenging the 'Normative' in Archaeological Interpretations" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As archaeologists we link patterns of performance and daily practice to identity categories. Theses classifications depend on normalized understandings of idealized behaviors. However, the groupings we use to discuss past actors rarely fully encompass the extent of behaviors in which...

"Mo té la": Community-Engaged Plantation Archaeology in French Guiana (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Community Archaeology in 2020: Conventional or Revolutionary?" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeology in French Guiana takes place within a neo-colonial framework in terms of permitting, reporting, and disseminating results. While still a generally public pursuit, archaeological projects rarely deploy explicit strategies for involving stakeholders in research. Furthermore, because archaeology is...
