The field of historical archaeology is uniquely situated with simultaneous access to both past and present. Beyond analysis of material remains, researchers frequently take advantage of oral accounts to gain a more holistic understanding of past events. However, even when such accounts are not available from direct descendants, the possible use of oral histories in research should not be immediately discounted. Through investigations of a historic habitation in Charleston, South Carolina,...

Nasty Stuff In Historical Archaeology (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As it is the purpose of historical archaeology to unearth the unknown, there can be unpleasant surprises.

Chemical toxicity may also rear its ugly head, especially in laboratories like ours, where we focus on the chemical identification of historical...
The Nate Harrison Historical Archaeology Project: Material, Methodological, and Theoretical Overviews (2018)
Ongoing research from archaeological and historical investigations into 19th-century San Diego County legend Nate Harrison (ca. 1833-1920) have revealed a wealth of insight into one of the region’s most celebrated pioneers. This paper offers an overview of the project’s most significant finds, places these ideas in context, and fosters comparisons between Harrison’s legend and the refuse uncovered at his hillside homestead.

Nationwide Context and Evaluation Methodology for Farmstead and Ranch Historic Sites and Historic Archaeological Sites on DoD Property (Legacy 17-837)
This project developed a methodology for efficiently identifying the best examples of historic farmstead sites, and also those sites that are least likely to be deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It details testing the applicability of the methodology to regions across the country. Regional historic contexts were created to assist in the determination of “typical” farmsteads.
