This is an abstract from the session entitled "Innovative Approaches to Finding Agency in Objects" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The turtle fishery off the coast of the Cayman Islands was a well-known supplier of meat for mariners involved in the trans-Atlantic trade of the 18th century. Salted and barreled or taken aboard live, these reptiles played a vital role in shipboard foodways. The Turtle Bone Site, located on the north side of Grand Cayman’s...
Turtles in the Tidewater: an Ecological and Social Perspective on Turtle Consumption in the Antebellum South (2016)
This presentation considers the foodways of plantation inhabitants in the antebellum costal South with reference to one particular food resource, the turtle. Turtle remains represent a small but ubiquitous portion of faunal assemblages recovered from late 18th and early 19th century sites in the southern states, and historic documents indicate that antebellum Americans drew upon European, African, and Native American cooking traditions to create a turtle-based cuisine which played an important...

The Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology contains J. W. Powell's description of the Bureau's plans and operations in the fiscal year 1890 - 1891. The majority of the report is Cyrus Thomas' accompanying paper entitled "Report on the Mound Explorations of the Bureau of Ethnology." Thomas documents the Bureau's directive to examine the mounds constructed throughout the Midwest and Eastern Woodlands, from the Southeast north to the Great Lakes region. His report describes mounds in the...
THE TWELVE APOSTLES: CONCEPTION, OUTFITTING, AND HISTORY OF 16th-CENTURY SPANISH GALLEONS (2016)
During the 16th century, Spain created an empire whose territories spanned Europe, America, and Asia. The most renowned ocean-going vessel employed by the Spanish during this period was the galleon. However, our knowledge of galleons is limited due to inaccuracies in their contemporaneous representations and the absence of archaeological evidence. This paper uses the Twelve Apostles, a series of newly-designed Spanish galleons built between 1589 and 1591, to bridge the gaps in our current state...
Twelve Days at Sea: Preliminary Results of the 2019 Geophysical Survey Campaign of Submerged Pre-Contact Landscapes in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sea-level rise models demonstrate that, prior to the last glacial maximum, there was a larger landmass available for pre-contact human habitation in North America. Previous research has identified two landscape features offshore, situated 48 miles apart; both at water depths of 17 m BSL and both dated to...
Twenty Years of Navy Shipwrecks--1996 to 2016! (2016)
Underwater archaeology was officially incorporated into the US Navy with the creation of a dedicated Branch (UAB) at Naval Historical Center, now Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) in 1996. This presentation discusses the reasons that led to the creation of the Branch, the hurdles that had to be overcome and unique problems posed by Navy ship and aircraft wrecks, the UAB program's development and growth, and major achievements, as well as the outlook for the future. Prominent ship and...
Twice Buried at Stenton: GPR in an Urban Family Cemetery (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The nineteenth-century Logan family cemetery is today marked by a large cement pad that was poured at some point during the 1950s across the cemetery in order to prevent vandalism. An inset marker listing some of the names of those interred and a fragmentary stone wall are the only indications of the former mortuary landscape. Even though it is now part of a public city park, this...
Two British Atlantic World Port City Taverns: The Materiality of Public Space and the Rise of the Eighteenth-Century Public Sphere (2019)
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Early modern British Atlantic world port cities of North America were filled with a diverse cast of individuals and groups.

Two Meals for Two Tables: Comparing the Diets of Free and Enslaved Washingtons (2015)
This paper compares faunal assemblages from two 1740s cellars located in the heart of the home lot of Ferry Farm—the childhood home of George Washington. Excavation of these cellars yielded rich assemblages of faunal material containing a wide array of animals and offering detailed perspectives on diet. What makes these cellars of special interest though is that they came respectively from the homes of the free Washingtons and the enslaved Washingtons. This means that these two contemporary...

The Deadman’s Island (8SR782) and Town Point Shipwrecks (8SR983) are unidentified wrecks that were archaeologically investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned wrecks from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763-1781). The wrecks were found...
Two Wrecks In An Historic Careenage: The Case For Identification Of The Deadman’s Island And Town Point Shipwrecks In Pensacola Bay, Florida (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Deadman’s Island (8SR782) and Town Point Shipwrecks (8SR983) are unidentified wrecks that were investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned wrecks from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763-1781). Archaeological assessment of these two sites clearly indicated ships from early to middle 18th century construction, with wood from both Old World and New...

A Typology of Late Archaic Ceramic Evidence from Okeechobee Basin to Determine Regional Interactions (2018)
Analysis of ceramic sherds collected during excavations at the Wedgworth Midden (8PB16175) permits insight into regional interactions during the Late Archaic period. Saint John's Plain, a chalky ware associated with people to the north of the Okeechobee Basin, constitutes a significant proportion of the assemblage and suggests that Late Archaic communities in the Northern Everglades maintained social interactions with people living in the St. Johns River Valley. While preliminary, these patterns...
Tyrone Mims Arbitrary (1BR?) 1988
The only information present with the Tyrone Mims Arbitrary (1BR?) 1988 investigation was the information written on the bags and the paper tags that arrived with the collection. No report was present for this collection and as a result who Tyrone Mims is, or was, has not been established. It is highly likely that Tyrone Mims was a local man residing around the Walter F. George Lake property and in August of 1988 collected a group of prehistoric ceramics from a wildlife refuge in Barbour County,...

The U.S. Naval Brig Somers: A Mexican War Shipwreck of 1846 (2016)
The brig Somers gained fame in the United States as the setting of a notorious mutiny in 1842 that directly inspired the writing of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd. The vessel was subsequently lost while on blockade duty off Veracruz during the war between the United States and Mexico in 1846. Rediscovered in 1986, the wreck was an untouched archaeological resource. It also served as the means for a pioneering international collaboration between the two former combatants in the management and...
