This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The town council of Fredericksburg, Virginia opted to remove its in situ slave auction block from its main street by an overwhelming majority this past June. The imposing stone block represented one of the most tangible relics of the slave era, where documented sales of people occurred. Across town, a monument to a problematic account of...
Remembering and Forgetting: Civil War Prisoner of War Camp Cemeteries in the North (2016)
Andersonville is a familiar name to Americans because of the effective way both the POW camp and the cemetery are memorialized as National Heritage Sites. But what were the conditions in the Northern POW camps for Confederate prisoners? The Elmira, New York Prisoner of War Camp was the Andersonville of the north. This site, like other Northern POW camps, was dismantled after the war. What was the fate of the Northern POW camp cemeteries? Were there monuments to the Confederate dead? Did any...

Remembering Jim Crow Again – Representing African American Experiences of Travel and Leisure at U.S. National Park Sites Critically (2018)
This discussion exams the cultural construction of heritage in terms of leisure, travel, and tourism with respect to race at U.S. National Park sites in the Southeast region. I argue for a more critical analysis of the centrality of race in discussions of stewardship of heritage resources. Risks and restrictions to freedom of movement and access to public sites of leisure were real for those identified as non-white in America prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In a much talked about speech...
Remembering Paoli: Archaeology and Memory Associated with Conflict Sites (2018)
On the night of September 20, 1777, British General Charles Grey led his men on a bayonet raid upon American General Anthony Wayne and his encamped Pennsylvania Regulars. The British burned the camp, injuring many, and killing 52. The battle quickly became recognized as the "Paoli Massacre" with the battle cry "Remember Paoli!" heard throughout the remainder of the American Revolution. Archaeological fieldwork at Paoli Battlefield not only seeks to understand the conflict, but the legacy of...
Remembering River Road: A Study of Three African American Communities in the Lower Cape Fear Region of North Carolina (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This project focused on African Americans who lived and worked on several of the plantations in the Lower Cape Fear region of North Carolina during the 19th and 20th centuries. Many of the powerful landowners in this region are known and included in the local historical narrative, but disenfranchised groups, such as the enslaved or working class African Americans, have not been...
Remembering the "Lost Cause:" The Power of the Memorial Landscape and Cornerstone "Relics" from Louisville’s Confederate Monument (2018)
Amid recent efforts to remove Confederate Monuments throughout cities in the South, the city of Louisville recently removed its 121 year old monument situated on a public street in the middle of the University of Louisville’s main campus. During disassembly of the monument, a cornerstone box containing commemorative objects was found. This paper discusses these objects and their relationship to the memory of the "Lost Cause" movement espoused by ex-Confederates. It also examines the battle...
Remembering the Raj: Kolkata India's South Park Street Cemetery, Creating and Commemorating Anglo-Indian Society (2016)
This paper examines the commemorative iconography of Kolkata India's South Park Street Cemetery. Established in 1767, the South Park Street Cemetery is the resting place of the leadership of England's colonial efforts in Bengal. It contains over 1600 monuments and likely many more burials. These monuments range from enormous masonry pyramids to scaled down Greek and Roman temples, and Hindu and Mughal inspired tombs. Drawing upon an international commemorative vocabulary combining classical...
Remembering the Rancho: Insights into Social Memory at Rancho Kiuic, Yucatán, México (2018)
A legacy of oppression exists alongside the memory of agentive acts of residence among laborers and their descendants at the site of Rancho Kiuic, Yucatan, México. Owned and operated by several generations of Maya-speaking families from the Late Colonial through National periods, the Rancho offers a setting for exploring the responses to and experiences of the Caste War of Yucatán (1947-1901) and agrarian reform among communities outside of centralized population centers. Excavation data from...
Remembering the Tenant Farmers: A comparison of two late 19th-century tenant farm dwellings in Maryland. (2016)
This paper compares two late nineteenth-to early twentieth-century African American tenant farm sites located on the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) campus in Edgewater, Maryland. I used historical population and agricultural census data to provide context for initial field findings, and used these contextualized findings to formulate questions about changing social and agricultural practices after emancipation.
Remembering through Landscape: Decolonizing the narrative of a Federal Indian Boarding School (2018)
Since 2011, I have conducted community-based archaeology at the former Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School in collaboration with the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan and City of Mount Pleasant. Elsewhere I have presented theoretical analyses federal Indian boarding schools as total institutions that utilized landscape design in assimilationist goals. In this paper, however, I will discuss the role of landscape as a component of analysis in community-based participatory research....
A Remote Sensing Investigation of Historic Osborn, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Dayton, Ohio flood of 1913 prompted construction of five dams along the Great Miami River and its tributaries. Huffman Dam and its detention basin’s design put the small town of Osborn, which dates to the mid-19th century, at risk of future flooding. As a result, many of the community’s homes and businesses were moved between 1922 and 1924. In coordination with Wright-Patterson...
Remote Sensing Methods to Locate Archaeological Sites Through Vegetation Indices on the Florida Coast (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Sea level rise is a growing threat to cultural heritage resources. Popular geospatial methods to identify at-risk sites work well for large-scale areas but are often overly laborious for the non-specialist to use and challenging to apply at a site-specific scale. Here, we create a Coastal Canopy Health Model, a method used to locate cultural resources in...
Remote Sensing of Lakes in Telemark, Norway (2013)
In the summer of 2012, the research charity ProMare and its partners at the Norsk Maritimt Museum returned to Lake Bandak in the Telemark region of Norway to revisit the two-dozen new shipwrecks that were discovered during their 2010 field season. That year, sonar imaging revealed wrecks in excellent condition and from many periods – from what could be vessels as old as Bronze Age log-boats to more modern 19th-century trading ships nearly 100 feet in length. Due to the lack of detail provided...
Remote Sensing’s Capacity to Identify Shell Deposits at the Silver Glen Springs Complex, Florida (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Landscape archaeology is fundamentally directed towards understanding the intersection of natural and constructed places, and their reciprocal influence on history. Mounds constructed of earth or shell have been the predominant focus of Southeastern archaeologist for generations. Subsequently, the spaces outside the bounds of mounded places have not been...
Removing the Present to model the Past: DEM and Paths in the Sandhills of South Carolina (2017)
Modern infrastructure and development have created problems for reconstructing prehistoric landscapes which adversely affects the accuracy of tools designed to determine trail networks. The attempts to reconstruct prehistoric networks and trail systems between Mississippian period mound sites along different river valleys in the Sandhills region of South Carolina is hampered by even low amounts of development of the landscape. This paper employs some common methods of removing modern...
The Repatriation of Artifacts to Storm, an 18th Century Shipwreck (2018)
In today’s archaeological environment full excavation is almost impossible due to a lack of funding. In order to gain a broad picture of a wreck, the archaeologists at the St Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum collect a wide sample of field specimens, not knowing what artifacts may lay inside the concretions. It isn’t until after the concretions have been x-rayed that conservators can determine which concretions may contain the most useful diagnostic information and start the conservation...
