The use of X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) as a tool for analyzing archaeological materials is becoming increasingly common. Recently, various types of iron ore and iron products produced at furnaces in Maryland and Pennsylvania in the 19th century were analyzed using XRF measurements. These measurements were employed to create a representational graph of the elemental composition of iron artifacts in order to identify a connection between the source material and the iron product.

Technology and Empire: A Comparative Analysis of British and Dutch Maritime Technologies during the Napoleonic Era (2015)
A study of the Dutch vessel Bato (1806) and British vessel Brunswick (1805) wrecked in Simons Bay, South Africa presents a unique opportunity to compare and analyse the maritime shipbuilding technologies available to these two powerful seafaring nations during the Napoleonic Era (1792-1815). Preliminary research of the material culture record yields data about British and Dutch access and utilization of specific shipbuilding timbers, iron knees, metal sheathings, and variety of fastenings....

Technology As A Tool For Public Experience And Interpretation (2018)
Archaeologists and geographers from the interdisciplinary archaeology program, University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG), engage the public in local archaeological projects through multiple methods. Early projects included use of hand-held GPS tied to site information in Belize, and a voiced, animated battle overlay on a modern map. UNCG investigators offer visitors a chance to see how to collect remote sensed data (e.g., GPR, magnetometer, Lidar), I-Pad 3D imaging, and laboratory...
Technology for Underwater Heritage: Mapping World War II Sites in the Pacific (2015)
The National Park Service is investigating large scale yet highly accurate distributed models that could assist preservation activities across the Pacific. Recent innovations regarding reality capture and computer modeling technologies specific to the marine environment, including LiDAR, SONAR and photogrammetry are providing value to heritage projects in the Pacific. The first comprehensive survey of the USS Arizona ship and memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii since 1984 began in November of 2013...
Telepresence-Enabled Archaeological Exploration of ex-USS Independence (CVL22) in the Gulf of the Farallones (2018)
In 2016, a joint NOAA/Ocean Exploration Trust mission in the E/V nautilus conducted a series of telepresence-enabled dives on the carrier Independence, a World War II veteran used as a target ship in the 1946 atomic weapons tests at Bikini Atoll. Subsequently used as a floating laboratory and a post-nuclear attack training platform by the US Navy, Independence rests in 822 meters of water where it was scuttled in 1951. The dives, the first to survey and document the wreck, were shared with a...
"Tell Me What You Eat and I’ll Tell You Who You Are": Food and the Challenge of Indian Identity in Late 18th and Early 19th Century California (2017)
The neophyte housing complex of Mission Santa Clara de Asís, one of the five Spanish missions established in the San Francisco Bay Area during the California Mission Period, was excavated between 2012 and 2014. Excavations unearthed numerous refuse pits that contained a variety of artifacts including large numbers of faunal remains. Feature 157, the focus of this research, was made up of three distinct multi-use pit sub-features that contained the remains of a variety of fauna. The assemblage...
Telling Multiple Jamestown Stories: Using Technology to Engage Guests with James Fort, 1619, and Beyond (2018)
Technology opens up new opportunities for multi-layered interpretations of historical and archaeological sites. Applications, such as interactive websites maps, smartphone apps, 3D models, and virtual reality, can enable visitors to explore different narratives and see how sites changed over time in ways that are more challenging within a static museum landscape. Jamestown Rediscovery is exploring different technological approaches—both online and on-site—for engaging guests not only with the...
Temper, Temper: Variability in Ceramic Paste Recipes at a Mississippian/Protohistoric Village in Northeastern Mississippi (2017)
Mississippian-period pottery in the eastern United States is overwhelmingly described as "shell tempered," with occasional reference to poorly defined "paste" categories in traditional typologies. Researchers recently have begun to note a high level of variability in the kinds of additional temper added to what macroscopically appears to be shell-tempered wares. An example is provided by the ceramic assemblage from Lyon’s Bluff (22OK520), a mound and village site in northeast Mississippi dating...
The Tempest: geoarchaeological investigations into the effects of a hurricane on a submerged prehistoric archaeological site, Apalachee Bay, Florida, U.S.A. (2017)
When Hurricane Hermine made landfall approximately 5 miles southeast of St. Mark's, Florida, on September 1st 2016, it passed directly over several known submerged prehistoric archaeological sites in Apalachee Bay. This was less than one month after we had completed geoarchaeological investigations at one of them, the Econfina Channel Site, 8Ta139. The passage of the hurricane has allowed us a unique opportunity to assess what, if any, effects the storm had on the site. This study is...

"Ten Years After" The 2001 UNESCO Convention Became Law: "I'd Love To Change The World . . ." And Here's What You Can Do. (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. It has been 10 years since the 2001 Convention became international law. The presentation will briefly summarize the June 2019 Report evaluating the Convention including recommendations on increasing the number of Parties and its relevenace to nations, UNESCO and other international organizations. The presentation will specifically touch on the relevence of the Convention to UCH...
Ten Years of Archaeology at the Local Level in Prince George’s County, Maryland (2016)
In November 2015, Prince George’s County, Maryland celebrates the ten year anniversary of the passage of local regulations that require review of all subdivision applications for their effect on archaeological resources. This paper will examine the results of ten years of archaeological investigations under the local regulations, lessons learned from these efforts, and future directions. Various techniques, such as conservation easements and the conveyance of sites to entities such as the...

Tennessee Face Jugs: An Evolving Tradition (2015)
The existence of stoneware face jugs as part of a Southern pottery tradition is well established. Recent scholarship and archaeological testing in Edgefield, South Carolina has sought to establish a chronology for their origins and develop a deeper understanding of their symbolic significance. As conditions surrounding the manufacturing of these face jugs changed through time, their function or meaning also changed. This paper will discuss the historic context of these vessels, explore their...

Terminal Pleistocene Climate Change and Shifting Paleoindian Landscapes in North Florida (2018)
Much of the Southeastern United States suffers from poor organic preservation. Direct dating of archaeological components is often impossible, and intact paleoenvironmental sequences are very rare, especially for the terminal Pleistocene. Inundated terrestrial sites in the Aucilla River of northwestern Florida can overcome both of these difficulties, with archaeological materials buried within directly-dateable intact strata containing well-preserved paleobotanical and faunal remains. Strata...
Terminal Prehistoric and Protohistoric Hide Processing in the Central Ohio Valley: Synthesizing Microwear and Metric Data to Evaluate Endscraper Function and Use Intensity (2017)
As "beachheads of empire" 16th -17th century European colonies in eastern North America vigorously pursued trade relations with Natives to secure raw materials for export to an emerging global market. Exchanges of furs and hides, slaves and other commodities stimulated economic activity throughout eastern North America. Production of hides for exchange was widespread among native groups located on colonial peripheries. To contrast, relatively little research has evaluated the degree to which...
