The Cardon/Holton Site [7NC-F-128] is a Euro-American farmstead occupied during the second quarter of the 18th century. It lies in St. Georges Hundred in New Castle County, Delaware, in a location east of the Choptank Road: itself one of the earliest north-south overland routes in this part of Delaware. This site itself was placed immediately adjacent to a now-vanished secondary cart road that branched off the Choptank Road a short distance to the south, and close to the still-extant wooded...

In 2012, Louis Berger cultural resources staff completed Phase III archaeological excavations at the Noxon Tenancy site (7NC-F-133), as part of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) U.S. 301 project. After completion of the field and laboratory work, over 2,000 pieces of particularly well-preserved faunal material were recorded from across the site, including bone recovered from the wood-lined well, pit, and sheet midden features. This project affords researchers with the...

Although many of the most well known archaeological projects undertaken in Philadelphia have been large-scale CRM projects, university-based research in urban archaeology also has a long history in the city. Recent archaeological projects completed at Elfreth’s Alley and The Woodlands reveal the contributions that two such small-scale academic projects can make to our overall understanding of Philadelphia’s urban development, and the insights that such projects offer not only into Philadelphia’s...

The MARTA collection, held by Georgia State University, is a large body of legacy archaeological data collected in the late 1970s that documents the history of Atlanta.  The current Phoenix project is building on those original efforts and represents an ideal opportunity to explore new praxis-oriented methodologies by making the collection easily accessible to the public as an example of civic engagement through community archaeology outreach. Key to this civic engagement is the digitization of...

An 1857 nautical chart of Great Harbor at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, details sailing instructions for ships entering this natural deepwater anchorage.  From 1859-1889 ships carrying seabird guano sailed into Great Harbor to unload at the Pacific Guano Company plant.  We have conducted a maritime archaeological reconnaissance survey of the anchorage, including the guano wharves. Submerged artifacts collected by local divers and remote sensing of the anchorage site show that seafaring trade in...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Technologies and Public Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The use of 3D technology is becoming more widespread in archaeology, from public outreach and education to monitoring site formation processes. This thesis aims to utilize photogrammetry and public outreach to determine site identification (if possible), document site degradation, and explore public memory of a popular dive site...

In June 2015, Texas A&M University, the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum hosted a field school at Shelburne Bay, Lake Champlain. Along with manual recording by archaeologists, the team applied photogrammetric recording (Agisoft PhotoScan) to Wreck 2. The goal of this recording was to create an accurate 1/1 scale constrained model to use as archaeological data. However, low visibility of the water (2-4 ft.) and the sheer size of the wreck (135 ft. 6 in. in...

This paper presents results of a diver-based photogrammetric survey and preliminary interpretation of a 16th-century shipwreck near Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The applied photogrammetric methodology highlights the potential of this emerging technology to rapidly assess submerged cultural resources despite constraints limiting survey time, as during this study nearly all visible components of the site were recorded on a single dive. Although the sample of recovered artifacts is incomplete...

This is an abstract from the "Technology in Terrestrial and Underwater Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2016, the small, regional Berkeley County Museum and Heritage Center approached the Warren Lasch Conservation Center about the possibility of conserving a Revolutionary War cannon recovered from a marine environment on Lewisville Plantation in the 1980’s. Unfortunately, the cannon had not been desalinated post-recovery, and the...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Through support from the National Maritime Heritage Grant Program the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum has hosted four workshops for local avocational divers which teach the basics of Underwater Archaeological methodology with a focus on photogrammetry as an effective way to collect valuable research data for ongoing resource management efforts. This paper will present the results of...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "On the Centennial of his Passing: San Diego County Pioneer Nathan "Nate" Harrison and the Historical Archaeology of Legend" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The numerous photographs taken of Nate Harrison in the early 20th century are an undeniable part of his continuing legacy. Photography and photographs have long been a cornerstone of substantiating historical existence and constructing knowledge about...

Recent construction activities have triggered archaeological planning and research, showing the importance of area excavation for understanding land use between and among structures associated with Mission San Luis Obispo. Historical archaeology exposed Mission-related water conveyance features and lands used for Native American living, agricultural, and food-processing areas during the Mission period. ESA teamed with the Cultural Heritage Engineering Initiative at UCSD to capture aerial and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists often use both archaeological data and historical records to assist in their reconstruction of the past. However, historical records are usually written by a small portion of the population and this written history is usually about themselves and not a representation of the whole. The inarticulate Whites are a group of European descent people...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In Spanish colonial sites, olive jars stand out among other ceramic types as important chronological markers due to their abundance and previously observed changes in form over three centuries. This plays a large role in identifying the...

USS Westfield was the flagship of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron during the American Civil War. Originally a New York ferry, Westfield was purchased by the U.S. Navy in 1861 and converted into an armored gunboat. On January 1, 1863 Westfield was destroyed by her captain during the Battle of Galveston to avoid capture. In 2009, the remaining wreckage, consisting of a disarticulated artifact debris field, was recovered from the Texas City Channel in advance of a dredging project. The remaining...

Often associated with the documentary record and prized for their historical relevance, photographs can be an invaluable instrument found within any historical archaeologist's toolkit. They help to illuminate and corroborate the material cultural remains we find within the archaeological record as they present to us their dramas through images frozen in time. It is in this phenomenon of storytelling that this paper puts much of its focus as it explores the use of historical photographs as an...
