This is an abstract from the "Communicating Working Class Heritage in the 21st Century: Values, Lessons, Methods, and Meanings" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. About 1941-1943, as the Cumberland (now Daniel Boone) National Forest, was forming, the occupants of two rural domestic sites in Menifee County, Kentucky left, most eventually to find work in factories of Ohio and Michigan. Recent historical and archaeological study of these sites has...
Sharing the Interpretive Center at Colonial Williamsburg: Archaeologists, Historical Interpreters, and Descendant Communities (2015)
Archaeology at Colonial Williamsburg has always involved African Americans in different levels of its practice. Members of this community have worked behind-the-scenes and in more public roles at the museum since its founding in the late 1920s. This presentation addresses the unique ways in which archaeologists have worked with African Americans, and how this interaction has allowed archaeologists to reach descendant communities. Examples from past and ongoing activities are used to illustrate...
Sharing The Wealth: Crowd Sourcing Texts And Artifacts (2016)
Historical archaeological studies have always relied upon statistically valid datasets for quantitative analyses and often required that archaeologists wade through volumes of text for clues to a site’s historical context. The digital age allows for the collection of these data in a variety of ways including gathering primary sources through crowd sourcing – multiple users, often from a diversity of sites or backgrounds, compiling data into a central repository. This paper explores the utility...

The Shelburne Shipyard Steamboat Graveyard: Four Early Nineteenth-Century Steamboats from Lake Champlain (2015)
Steamboat construction of the early nineteenth century remains largely forgotten and unstudied. Historical records provide little detail to how construction techniques were evolving in this experimental phase of steam-powered vessels. A survey of Lake Champlain’s Shelburne Shipyard revealed the remains of four nineteenth-century steamboats, three of which were built prior to 1840. The four hulls were recorded for comparative study during a field school which took place in the month of June,...

Wreck 2 was surveyed during a preliminary investigation of four steamboat hulls in June 2014 and determined to be the oldest of the four. The 2015 team recorded Wreck 2 using both traditional archaeological methods and photogrammetric...
A Shell Above the Waters: An Ojibwa Maritime Cultural Landscape (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For the Ojibwa First Nations in the Lake Superior region water was not only a source of life, but it permeated their cosmology, their music, their daily routines, and their very identity as well. This paper reports on research conducted in 2018 that took advantage of interviews, artwork, material culture, and...

Photographs of shell artifacts collected during the Cemochechobee archaeological investigation in the Chattahoochee River area in Clay County, Georgia.
Shell Bead Production at a Southern Appalachian Mississippian Frontier (2017)
Frontier areas differ from non-frontier areas in multiple ways; one is by a more intense degree of interaction with other cultures. To successfully settle a frontier area, frontier groups must not just interact but also socially integrate with other groups. Craft production is one way social integration occurs. At the Middle Mississippian-period Carter Robinson site, there is evidence for the production of shell beads. This paper presents this evidence, which includes all stages of shell bead...
Shell Beads in the Sixteenth Century Northeast (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples in northeastern North America had been modifying marine shell for cultural use. However, the circulation of marine shell expanded and contracted over time. Few to no shell artifacts are recovered from fourteenth and fifteenth century sites in the Northeast, suggesting a gap in the cultural use of shell materials during this period; but over the...

Shell Heaps as Indicators of Resource Management (2018)
The Neolithic Revolution of the 9th millennium BC marks the period when forager groups independently experimented with the management and, in some instances, the domestication of terrestrial plants and animals. However, global evidence for human consumption and management of gastropods predates the Neolithic Revolution, indicating that terrestrial and aquatic snails were an important resource for human societies during the Holocene. Abundant deposits of aquatic snails are reported from...
Shell Mound Architecture and Cooperative Mass Oyster Collection on the Central Gulf Coast of Florida, USA (2017)
Coastal fisher-gather-hunters often have a deep connection among their ritual practices, economic systems, and the built environment. Emerging trends and traditions of cooperation within forager communities can have lasting impacts on group social organization and can be instrumental in the development of early villages. The Crystal River region of the Gulf Coast of Florida, U.S.A provides an interesting locale to explore the intersection between shell mound architecture and cooperative mass...
