State of the Art: Reconstructing paleolandscapes for maritime CRM projects (2018)
Advancements in sound underwater remote sensing have resulted in effective ways to study the ocean bottom, reconstruct paleolandscape settings, and find pre-contact archaeological sites. The inventory of submerged sites known to date ranges from 3 to 13 kya. These sites are located in, and theorized to exist from nearshore to mid-shelf settings, but the potential for pre-contact sites goes all the way out to the continental shelf break, a fact confirmed by recent findings of several pre-Clovis...
The State of the Inland Sea: a primer to the submerged cultural resources of Lake Ontario and the Upper St. Lawrence River and the state of studies in Great Lakes Shipbuilding (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Shipwrecks and the Public: Getting People Engaged with their Maritime History" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Lower Great Lakes and Upper Saint Lawrence River has served as a natural corridor of transportation, its intensification increasing exponentially with the lifting of restrictions on commercial shipping and shipbuilding in 1785.

Status Quo: Military Landscapes (2017)
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. As a military base, Camp Clark has been in operation for over one hundred years and boasts the oldest National Guard rifle range in the state of Missouri. Camp Clark was established on April 28th, 1908, as a result of...

This is an abstract from the "Communicating Working Class Heritage in the 21st Century: Values, Lessons, Methods, and Meanings" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. American working class and labor history is a history of resistance and discontent, with many of the most recognizable names – Cesar Chavez, Mother Jones, Joe Hill – having achieved notoriety specifically because they refused to follow the status quo. As archaeologists tasked with...
The Steamer Columbia - A New Discovery in the Blackwater (2017)
As the University of West Florida continues to survey Pensacola waterways, many new anomalies have been discovered. One of the most significant is a 105’ long sidewheel steamer, which was located in the Blackwater River using side-scan sonar. The shipwreck’s three distinct sections – the bow, boiler, and propulsion-related machinery in the stern – remain mostly intact. The most indicative of the artifacts examined are bricks associated with the boiler that have the name "KILLIAN" impressed on...

A Step Toward Exhibition: Digital Reconstruction of Monitor Spaces (2018)
210 tons of USS Monitor, including the majority of the engine room and the iconic turret, were recovered between 1998 and 2002 and are currently being conserved at The Mariners’ Museum and Park. While object treatments are ongoing, staff estimate that there are approximately 20 years of work left to finish the project. Even though the completion of conservation is two decades out, planning for the display of all the artifacts in the museum’s exhibition space is already underway. To assist in the...
Stephen Potter's Vision for Potomac Valley Archaeology (2016)
Between 1999 and 2011 the Louis Berger Group carried out a series of archaeological investigations in the Potomac Valley for the National Capital Region of the NPS. These investigations were planned by Dr. Potter as a connected series of studies, working westward up the river. The work included four years in the Prince William Forest Park, followed by four years in Rock Creek Park and then three years for each of three sections of the C&O Canal National Historic Park, culminating at Oldtown,...
"Stepping Over the Line": Hyper-Masculinity, Institutionalized Violence, and the Archaeology of the U.S. Border Patrol (2015)
The U.S. Border Patrol has come under heavy scrutiny following the deaths of 42 civilians since 2005, numerous reports of migrants being physically and sexually assaulted while in custody, and the surfacing of videos showing aggressive encounters between agents and U.S. citizens. Because a great deal of boundary enforcement happens in remote parts of the desert, documenting how agents do their job is difficult. In this paper, we highlight data from numerous interviews with agents, migrant...
Stepping Towards a Paradigm Shift: The White Sands Footprints (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Prehistoric footprints indicate presence, behaviour, and the interactions between different animal species. The discovery of footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico has shown how tracks can transform our understanding of American prehistory and crucially the history of its first indigenous inhabitants. In September 2021 we announced...

The site was excavated in the early 1970's by the Archaeological Society of New Mexico under the...
Stirring the Ashes: archaeologies of ruination on the site of Old Panama (2013)
In 1671, Henry Morgan’s attack on the city of Panama put an end to its history as the first European settlement to take root on the shores of the Pacific. Burnt down to ashes, the once buoyant urban center entered a process of ruination through which new generations of Panamanians have gradually forgotten or reinvented the memory of the places where their ill-fated ancestors used to live. This paper discusses some concrete examples of how archaeological research conducted at the World Heritage...
Stolen Treasure, Exotic Animals, and Stray Bullets – A Pathway to a Career in Archaeology?!?! (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Eyes up, folks! Archaeology is not just about what is on or in the ground, but instead is and can be so much more. When thinking of a career in archaeology – what happens if you are not an academic researcher, or if you cannot land a coveted full-time position at a cultural resources management firm? The purpose of this paper is to discuss those other “connected” options and to...
