Stone Walls for Portuguese Pests: Swahili Landscape Responses to European Incursion on Zanzibar Island, Tanzania (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in the Indian Ocean" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Starting in the late fifteenth century, Iberian sailors plied deeply into Atlantic and Indian Ocean networks of exchange. They brought with them notions of Western European cities and city life. In turn, they built trading enclaves that referenced the plans, designs, and aesthetics of European urban spaces. This paper summarizes new...
The Stoneware from the Baja California Manila Galleon (2017)
Stoneware has long been held by archaeologists as a problematic artifact category. Stoneware is troublesome to date with any precision, difficult to source, and decidedly less flashy than even the most pedestrian porcelains. However, a study of the stonewares from the Manila galleon wreck site Baja California, in the form of sherds from large utilitarian storage jars, is an opportunity for gaining additional knowledge about the contents of a ship that, in the late sixteenth century, was in the...
Stopping A Rat-Hole: The Charleston Harbor Stone Fleets, 1861 & 1862. (2015)
In late 1861 and early 1862 Union naval blockading forces sank a total of twenty-nine whaling and merchant vessels laden with stones at the entrances to the two main channels at Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The navy intended for these underwater obstructions to prevent the passage of Confederate blockade runners from entering and exiting the port city. The two stone fleets did not result in the desired effect wished for by Union strategists, but the historical and archaeological record...
Stories from the Kitchen: Ceramic Analysis of the Belvoir Slave Quarter (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology and Analysis of the Belvoir Quarter" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The discovery and excavation of a brick and stone slave quarter provides a rare opportunity to study an artifact assemblage produced from the preparation and consumption of meals prepared by, and for, an enslaved community. This paper will present the types of vessels and decorations represented in the thousands of ceramics...
Stories Written in Stone (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Revolutionizing Approaches to Campus History - Campus Archaeology's Role in Telling Their Institutions' Stories" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When Leland and Jane Stanford bought the Mayfield Grange property in 1876, it was as a country home. Little was done to the house that had been built by George Gordon in 1864 until 1888, after the death of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., when extensive...
Story Maps, A New Public Archaeology Tool: Mill Springs Battlefield Case Study (2018)
ESRI Story Maps are a new strategy for combining geographic information with text, images and multimedia content in an easily shareable web interface. The technique is especially useful for presenting historic archaeology to the public, as archaeological and archival data can be juxtaposed to present a more complete story. In this presentation we will exhibit the story map created for the Beech Grove area of the Mill Springs Battlefield and discuss its potential as a public archaeology tool. ...
Story Maps: Utilizing the NHHC Arsenal to Tell the Navy's Story (2018)
As the repository and institutional memory of the U.S. Navy, the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) preserves, analyzes, and disseminates historically and culturally relevant resources and products that reflect the Navy's enduring contributions throughout our nation's history. Unique to the Navy among the Department of Defense, the Navy's history program, library, archives, collections, and museums are combined into one Command. Initially, the Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) began...
Straight from the Horse's Mouth: Understanding Public Archaeology from the Public (2018)
For the past two decades, archaeologists have worked to engage members of the public in archaeological research, preservation, and interpretation. Because of the huge variety in the types of publics engaged in these projects and the approaches of the archaeologists running them, we are continually refining our methods of public archaeology implementation, execution, and evaluation. Despite this variety, we rarely hear directly from program participants. For this panel we have invited public...
"A Strange Sort of Warfare Underground": Mines and Countermines on the Petersburg Front, 1864 (2016)
Petersburg, Virginia, is known for the mine explosion that destroyed a Confederate fort and initiated the Battle of the Crater. This was not the only mining effort on the siege line. Even before the July 30, 1864, explosion, the Confederate defenders of Petersburg constructed countermines in places where the terrain was susceptible to underground enemy approaches. The use of LIDAR imagery, map and photographic analysis, documentary research and field survey has revealed two extensive sets of...
Strategic Planning for the Web: Goals, Objectives and Tactics for Communicating Heritage (2013)
Archaeologists have been early adopters of digital technologies relative to other heritage-related professions. But how often are their online communications initiatives informed by audience-based strategic intention? The pervasiveness of online tools makes engagement ever easier, and as a result, a less meaningful measure of influence. Conversely, planning for digital communications is often an uncomfortable and intensive process that results in more effective online initiatives by clarifying...
Streaking and Straight Pins: Constructing Masculinity on an Antebellum College Campus (2016)
The myth of the "Southern gentleman" permeates the modern imagination of the historic American South. This archetype is simultaneously "other" and "normative": the concept is saturated in an air of mystery and deep, foreign tradition, yet is often set against studies of traditional American "others" such as women, immigrants, and enslaved peoples. Recent excavations at Graham Hall, an all-male antebellum dormitory on Washington & Lee University’s campus in Lexington, VA, have uncovered a rich,...
Streamlining the process: using handheld devices for in-field data collection on Ossabaw Island, Georgia. (2017)
The last few years has seen a rise in the development of tools and technology that enable the collection of archaeological data directly into electronic formats using handheld devices such as tablets and smartphones. These applications not only eliminate traditional paper collection issues but also decrease in-field collection errors and reduce post-processing times. This poster will focus on the utilization of Petroglyph, an application specifically developed for the first phase of a research...
Streets of Royalty: African-American Music and Memorialization in West Baltimore (2018)
Popular music heritage holds a meaningful place in public memory and in the construction of social identities. Sites associated with musical legacies that have significant meaning to a community are often memorialized to emphasize their connection with a particular place. This paper explores the relationship between music, heritage, and placemaking in the historic African-American neighborhood of West Baltimore, where decades of racism, economic decline, and failed urban-renewal plans have...

Strike the Bell!: Creation of a Diagnostic Database of Known Early Ship's Bells (2018)
Ship's bells have long held the fascination of laypeople and scholars alike. Despite this fascination, little information is known about the earleist ship's bells from the 14th through the end of the 17th century. While numerous archaeological examples do exist, these either lack provenance, are fragmented, or do not follow a standarized method for analysis, making diagnostic comparisons exceedingly difficult or impossible. Recognizing this problem, the authors have undertaken the creation of a...

"A Stronghold Of Rebellion:" Confederate Defense Of The Central Gulf Coast During The Civil War (2016)
When the South seceded from the Union in 1861, cotton was the currency they believed would fuel the war effort and bring Britain as an ally to the Southern cause. Maintenance of two of the critical ports of the antebellum cotton trade, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama was key to the Confederacy's survival and ultimately to its failure. Archaeological investigations at the site of the river defenses in the Mississippi River delta confirmed historical accounts leading to the fall of...
Structural Analysis of the Warwick (2013)
The remains of the Warwick are one of the largest and most coherent fragments of an early 17th century English ship. Notwithstanding the historical designation of the vessel as the "magazine" ship, the Warwick was far from being an ordinary freighter. As the analysis of its structurecontinues, it appears this ship was a finely crafted and finished vessel and a powerful fighting machine. It was built in a more traditional style, perhaps a style going back to such notable examples as the Mary...
Structural Considerations for Understanding Historical Tablet Weaving (2013)
During the many centuries during which tablet weaving has been practiced, back at least to the 9th century BC, ever-inventive weavers have developed a multitude of complex techniques. Clear and consistent methods of describing the structural attributes of tablet-woven bands enable the historian and reenactor to communicate clearly. Relating structural attributes to potential methods of production allows both the accurate reproduction of historical bands and the recognition of subtle features...
Structural racism and archaeological practice - the archaeology of razed African American industrial communities. (2017)
The coal company towns found throughout West Virginia and Central Appalachia were compact, racially diverse communities housing African Americans, white americans, and various european immigrant groups. However, when the industry contracted after World War II, racial firing practices meant that many African American families were forced to leave the area. These newly vacant lots were often repurposed for further industrial use, effectively destroying the material record of many of the African...
Structure Documentation and Data Recovery Excavations at the Keeton Site (3PP1316), Pope County, Arkansas (2016)
The Keeton Site is a 50-x-50 m mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century farmstead site located near Russellville in the Arkansas Valley Hills ecoregion. During 2014, the site was the subject of a Phase III data recovery project, with work includng documenting a partly collapsed frame residence, and the hand excavation of 270.5 m2 of site deposits. This paper will discuss the results of this multi-disciplinary study at the ca. 1860 farmstead of Zachariah Keeton (1816–1908), a Tennessean who...
