Origins and Construction Techniques of Historic Flat-Backed Canteens (2016)
In the 19th century, ethnographers documented numerous Pueblo groups throughout the American Southwest making and using ceramic flat-backed canteens. These canteens pose unique manufacturing issues due to their shape: they are symmetrical along only one axis due to one flat and one bulbous side, and the closed rim is parallel to the flat side, not perpendicular as is usual. They are also extremely similar in shape to large European canteens, and thus can offer insight to the complex...

Ornamental Origins: Philadelphia Manufactured Ceramics With Engine-Turned Decoration (2018)
The disruption of foreign trade brought on by the Embargo Act of 1807 and the subsequent War of 1812 led American artisans and mechanics to produce locally made goods in imitation of the primarily British imports no longer available to American consumers. In Philadelphia, some potters began experimenting with white bodied refined ceramics while others continued to work in red clay with manganese and iron glazes, yet exchanged traditional utilitarian forms for sophisticated table- and teawares....
OSL Dating and Chronology in Pensacola, Florida’s Contact Period (2017)
New research on the history of the Pensacola Bay region from the late Mississippian to the Protohistoric period is clarifying previous understandings of cultural sequences. Two recently discovered sites have created opportunities to apply new dating technologies to culture historical questions. The first site is in an incredibly dynamic area of sand dune formations on a barrier island. The second site is associated with the Luna Settlement of 1559-1561 and survives partially intact despite...
OSL Dating at the Wakulla Springs Site (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Wakulla Springs site is a well-known paleoindian site in Florida, which contains abundant Pleistocene megafauna and artifacts including early projectile points. Previous optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating at the Wakulla Springs Lodge site (8WA329) suggested occupation older than 11.6 ka but younger than 22.5 ka (W.J. Rink et al. Florida...

Ossabaw Island: Archaeological Investigation for Buried Fuel Line (2001)
Wildlife Resources Division notified the Archaeological Services Unit of Historic Preservation Division of plans to install an above ground fuel tank with a buried pipe providing service to the Main House (Mrs. West's residence) at the north end ofOssabaw Island (Figure 1). There are two proposed locations. The preferred DNR location places the tank near the location of a buried tank now in place about 100' west of the Main House. Mrs. West has suggested an alternate location: near an...
Ossabaw Island: ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT 9CH155 (THE NEWELL CREEK SITE) 2001-2002 (2002)
This report provides an overview of limited archaeological investigations carried out on Ossabaw Island by the Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA), Georgia Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division, in 2001-2002. Ossabaw Island is managed by DNR's Wildlife Resources Division (WRD). Initial investigations were precipitated by erosion at 9CH155, located on a bluff overlooking Newell Creek at the southern end of the island. The erosion exposed Indian burials, and recovery...
Ossabaw Island: Archaeological Investigations at 9CH155: November 2008 (2009)
This report documents emergency archaeological data recovery and survey efforts performed in late 2008 at site 9CH155 on Ossabaw Island, Chatham County, Georgia. The project included salvage excavation of an eroding human mortuary feature (Burial 1), Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey of selected portions of the site, topographic mapping, and a minor surface collection from a rarely exposed mud flat in Newell Creek. Each of these phases was completed successfully and provided new...
Ossabaw Island: Archaeological Investigations at 9CH155: November 2008 (2009)
This report documents a recent l y completed archaeological project by The LAMAR Institute on a portion of the Newell Creek site (9CH 155) on Ossabaw Island, Chatham County, Georgia (Figures I and 2). The Newell Creek site is located on the southern portion of Ossabaw Island on an elevated bluff above Newell Creek.

Ossabaw Island: Monitoring Bluff Erosion at the Newell Creek Site, 2002 - 2005 (2002)
DNR Archaeologists returned to 9CH155 on July 25, 2002 to monitor grading for a barge landing. Grading was done within the area previously marked by DNR archaeologists after close-interval shovel testing indicated that the specified area had low potential for encountering undisturbed cultural deposits. Due to the known presence of features, including burials, elsewhere on the site, a decision was made to have archaeologists present during grading...

Ossabaw Island: Preliminary Skeletal Analysis of Material from South End Site (2001)
Four partial skeletons were excavated from the eroding west bank of Ossabaw Island at Newell Creek. They became exposed after unusually high tides and wind caused areas of the bank to slump to the toe of the bluff. Three were determined to be of prehistoric origin according to the ceramics associated with them. The same three are of Native American descent and are probably all males of differing ages. There was not enough material recovered from the fourth skeleton to make these...
