This is an abstract from the session entitled "From Maryland’s Ancient [Seat] and Chief of Government: Papers in Honor of Henry M. Miller" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Any global survey across the last 10,000 years has always found a range of more complex to less complex socio-cultural systems. Specific cultures, geographical locations, and relative levels of complexity have shifted but the differential is always present. With the rise of centralized...
Movement of Potters and Traditions: A View from Washington County, Virginia (2016)
The nineteenth-century potters of southwestern Virginia came from diverse, geographic sources. These individuals brought with them extra-local traditions of pottery decoration and kiln technology. The origins and interactions of Washington County potters will be delineated as case studies of how potters moved across the countryside. Individual potter histories will presented as illustrative of the general trend of movement of potters out of Pennsylvania, Delaware, eastern Maryland, and New...
Moving beyond Cowboys and Indians: Rethinking Colonial Dichotomies into Messy "Frontiers" (2017)
As part of its etymological "baggage," the term "frontier" evokes thoughts of action and excitement, conquering the unknown, and transforming the untamed and uncivilized into the managed and controlled. In North American colonial contexts this perspective privileges the experiences of European, colonizers at the interpretive expense of the multitude of other social actors (e.g., enslaved Africans, women, Native Americans) whose practices equally constituted the colonial project. In our paper, we...
Moving Masca: Persistent Indigenous Communities in Spanish Colonial Honduras (2016)
In 1714, Candelaria, a pueblo de indios (indigenous town) in Spanish colonial Honduras, concluded a decades-long legal fight to protect community land from encroachment. Documents in the case describe the movement of the town, originally called Masca, from a site on the Caribbean coast, where it was located in 1536, to a series of inland locations. Many other pueblos de indios in the area moved to new locations in the late 1600s or early 1700s. The mobility of these towns, their incorporation...

Moving the Baseline: Why Isn’t Community Archaeology the Convention? (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. Collaborative and community-based approaches to archaeological practice should be the base from which all projects are developed. Archaeologists are often complicit in creating or perpetuating heritage protection policies or programs that are superficial; they do not get at the roots of the problems of...
Movin’ on Up: Insights into Habitations on the Slopes of Cañon de San Diego, New Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeology in the Jemez Province of New Mexico has been explored and studied since the late 19th century. High site densities and pueblo complexes are common, but most of the areas suspected to contain pueblo settlements have been thoroughly reconnoitered. These resources are primarily identified within drainage bottoms and atop the numerous mesas between...
Mrs. Fox’s Table: Mealtimes at the Boott Mills Boardinghouses, Lowell, Massachusetts (2018)
Archaeology at Lowell’s Boott Mills produced evidence of mealtimes in corporation housing. Yankee mill girls who boarded in a house run for 50 years by Mrs. Amanda Fox, and, later, Irish and Eastern European immigrants who boarded with Mrs. Fox’s successors, as well as skilled workers in adjoining tenements and supervisory personnel at the nearby Agents’ House ate differently prepared foods in contrasting settings. I take a comprehensive approach to the "total experience" of mealtimes for...
MtDNA Analysis of the Paquimé (Casas Grandes), Mexico, Population (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Ancient DNA in Service of Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This research project investigates the population interred at the archaeological site known as Paquimé (Casas Grandes), Mexico between two time periods known as the Viejo Period (700 - 1200 A.D.) and the Medio Period (1200 - 1450 A.D.). There was a shift in culture during the latter period marked by changes in material culture and the bringing...
"…Much improved in fashion, neatness and utility": The Development of the Philadelphia Ceramic Industry, 1700-1800 (2016)
The potting industry of Philadelphia has a long and storied past, beginning in the late 17th century with William Crews, the first documented potter in the city. More than fifty years of archaeological research has provided incredible insight into the ceramics industry of Philadelphia, not only in terms of available wares, but also the role Philadelphia ceramics played in the early American marketplace. This presentation explores the 18th century development and diversity of the Philadelphia...
Mulberry Row and the Monticello Mountaintop Landscape: New Insights from Archaeological Chronologies (2015)
Mulberry Row was once a bustling street of activity where enslaved and free workers labored and lived adjacent to Monticello mansion. This paper outlines new insights into change in slave lifeways and the adjacent landscape, derived from a recently excavated one hundred fifty foot long trench extending across Mulberry Row. We describe new, fine-grained stratigraphic and seriation chronologies that incorporate both continuous layers and discrete features, including a borrow pit and cobble paving....
Multi-Image Photogrammetry for Long-Term Site Monitoring: A Study of Two Submerged F8F Bearcats (2017)
Underwater aviation resources in the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola, Florida are numerous due to a longstanding presence of the U.S. Navy’s first Naval Air Station. Throughout the years, training aircraft were lost at sea during periods of both conflict and of peace. The F8F Bearcat, a carrier-based fighter aircraft, was introduced too late to participate in World War II, but was used at NAS Pensacola as a carrier qualification trainer. This paper presents steps taken to utilize and test...
Multi-Scalar Analysis of Vessel Structure Remaining at BISC-0002: Using Extant Structural Remains to Understand the Vessel's Construction, Time and Place of Origin, and Their Implications for Trade at the Border of Colonial Empires (2013)
In the course of two field projects, visible timber remains were examined and documented from the BISC-0002 shipwreck site. The results of these investigations offered insight into the vessel's time and place of origin via interpretation of the construction features and materials. Of particular interest was the fact that many of the key structural elements of the vessel, including its keel, were made from a very atypical wood type: Betula sp. (birch). These findings alone raise compelling...
Multi-scalar paleoethnobotany: farmstead variation and regional trends in Viking and Medieval North Iceland (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This poster compares the multi-scalar (individual sites and whole regions) macrobotanical data of over 700,000 seeds from 41 Viking Age farmsteads in the Skagafjörður region of North Iceland to examine the benefits and challenges of using multi-scalar data for paleoethnobotanical analysis. During the Viking Age, the Norse settled Iceland, a sub-arctic volcanic island at the climatic...

The talk will focus on successes, lessons learned and pathways forward for the nex 40 years and then next generations of underwater...
Multidisciplinary Investigations of a Late Paleoindian Bison Butchery Event from a Southwest Texas Rockshelter (2018)
Located in the Northeastern Chihuahuan Desert, Eagle Cave is one of the largest rockshelters in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands. Archaeologists previously excavated Eagle Cave in the 1930s and 1960s; however, no evidence had been recovered indicating Paleoindian occupation of the site. From January 2015 through February 2017, the Ancient Southwest Texas Project of Texas State University re-excavated a 4-meter deep trench through the center of this massive rockshelter in order to document and sample...
Multimethod Forensic Sedimentology to Address Heritage Crime (2024)
This is an abstract from the "The Intersection of Archaeological Science and Forensic Science" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As memories of World War II waned and the sixties swang, anthropologists developed a healthy distrust of State interests in our field. Relegated to the kids’ table, anthropologists disengaged from the State for many decades. Among the consequences of our broad professional disdain for officialdom is an inattention to...
Multimodal Diagnosis of Historic Baptistery di San Giovanni in Florence, Italy (2016)
Historical structures can pose great challenges when attempting to uncover their past and preserve their future. Centuries of damages induced by continued use, settling and natural disasters have impacted these structures, each of which have the potential to hinder their response to future events. This paper presents a methodological approach that utilizes technologies like laser scanning, photogrammetry, thermal imaging and ground penetrating radar in order to generate a holistic, layered...
A Multiplicity of Voices: Towards a Queer Field School Pedagogy (2015)
A queer theory inspired perspective is valuable not only for broadening the scope of archaeological interpretation and our understanding of past lived experiences, but also for informing an archaeological pedagogy which expands the diversity of authoritative viewpoints in the discipline. Field schools, as one of the most central aspects of archaeological training, have the potential to either reaffirm heteronormative structures which obscure non-conforming persons and viewpoints or to promote...
Multiscale Image Acquisition for Structure-from-Motion (SfM) Modeling of the Submerged Late Pleistocene Site of Hoyo Negro, Quintana, Mexico (2016)
The submerged cave chamber of Hoyo Negro contains a diverse assemblage of human and faunal skeletal remains dating to the Late Pleistocene. Many of the represented animals became extinct at least 10,000 YBP. The human skeleton is that of a young girl who ventured into the cave at least 12,000 YBP. Most of these deposits are extraordinarily well preserved. Detailed recording of this chamber is difficult, as the site is completely dark and at maximum depth of 57m. Over the past two years, the team...
The Multitude Of Conservation Techniques Used On Similarly Composed Artifacts (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the last ten years the Warren Lasch Conservation Center has conserved 40 cast iron cannons. While these artifacts are all composed of the same material (cast iron), there has been a multitude of differing conservation techniques used in their treatment. This poster will explore similarly composed artifacts, various conservation methods used, the reason for choosing them and their...
The Multivalence of Black in Casas Grandes Iconography (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Coloring the World: People and Colors in Southwestern Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Color symbolism was undoubtedly important to the Medio period (AD 1200–1450) Casas Grandes folks. Red, black, and white designs decorate their pottery, but excavations at Paquimé reveal that the Medio Period farmers used a variety of mineral pigments for painted murals and/or for makeup and body paint. They also conducted...
Mural Ecology: Walls that bring people together (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Role of Rock Art in Cultural Understanding: A Symposium in Honor of Polly Schaafsma" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Our daily news brings much shouting about building giant walls to divide neighbor from neighbor. We optimistically turn our attention to walls that brought people together—Puebloan painted walls. In the 1960s, the painted kiva walls of Pottery Mound, near Albuquerque, brought artist Polly Schaafsma...
Muscogee Wharf: Archaeological Investigation of an Enduring Pensacola Landmark. (2016)
Built in the 1880s to load Alabama coal onto ships for export, Muscogee Wharf has functioned as an important landmark along the Pensacola waterfront through present day. The wharf saw its fair share of damage from numerous hurricanes as well as various fires. The Louisville& Nashville Railroad (L&N) ceased operations in the 1950s due to significant fire damage. Although the wharf functioned through the 1970s as a dock for barges and tugboats, the remaining structure was left to deteriorate;...
