A Socio-Economic Study of the Ceramics of 322 South Main Street, St. Charles, Missouri (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gwyneth Vollman.

This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Lindenwood University has uncovered an unusually high density of 19th and 20th century ceramics in just two test units associated with a possible infilled cellar. The site is located along what used to be a small street or alley. The research questions being pursued are based on the idea of these ceramics being the result of primary deposition by...

A Socioeconomic Interpretation of 19th Century Archaeological Ceramics found at Contemporaneous, Culturally Diverse Sites on Ballast Point in San Diego, California (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michelle D. Graham.

This research assesses the degree to which the type, form, and function of 19th century ceramics recovered from archaeological sites on Ballast Point reflect ethnic identities of their owners. A dualistic approach is employed to determine whether culture or economy played a greater role in influencing the acquisition of ceramic goods at these sites. Comparisons are drawn from contemporaneous deposits associated with a Chinese fishing camp (Trench 2), and a European American whaling operation...

Socioeconomic Status of a Self-Sufficient 19th Century Homestead (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Abigail K Kindler.

In the summer of 2011, Lindenwood University began excavating in the Femme Osage Creek Valley in St. Charles County, Missouri. Near to the Historic Nathaniel Boone Home, a hidden 19th century homestead site has been found with the remains of numerous buildings, as well as a two-lane drive. The property also includes a stone well, middens, and evidence of domesticated plants. One of the main hypotheses of this site is the possibility of the self-sufficiency of the homestead. This would not have...

The Sociopolitical Landscapes of Hacienda "El Progreso", 1887-1904: Historical Ecology of the Galápagos Islands (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Fernando Astudillo. Peter Stahl. Florencio Delgado.

Hacienda El Progreso was one of the largest and most advanced companies of Ecuador during the late 19th century. It covered the southwestern highlands of San Cristobal Island in the Galápagos archipelago. Sugar cane, alcohol, and coffee were the main products exported. As a result, vast areas of the island were deforested to create agricultural parcels and grasslands. During its active years a series of cultural events modified the natural landscape and formed a unique political landscape....

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lisa Matthies-Barnes.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "African Diaspora in Florida" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Throughout its past, Pensacola, Florida has been a bustling urban center that has historically held a racially and socially diverse community. With this diversity in mind, Pensacola provides a unique example of race relations in a port city of the Jim Crow American south. Using collections from the University of West Florida’s Archaeology...

Soil, Soot, and Slag: Using Microartifact Analysis to Understand the Continuing Impacts of Historic Industrial Activity in Detroit, MI (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hannelore J Willeck.

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. Detroit's riverfront area has been a mixed industrial, commercial, and residential neighborhood since the mid 19th century. Prior to a new housing development in this area, archaeological excavations were conducted in 2014 to investigate a four-block area that once contained a scrap metal processing site and a metal junkyard, both...

Soiled Doves and Fighting Men: Sexually Transmitted Diseases in 19th Century Tucson, Arizona (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Pye.

This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 1: A Focus on Cultures, Populations, and Ethnic Groups" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphillis and gonorrhea, were commonplace on the frontier in the 19th century. The spread of such diseases is often attributed to the fact that prostitution was also quite prevalent. In mid to late 19th century Tucson, Arizona, most Tucson residents accepted prostitution as an...

Soldier's Exemption: Post-War Domestic Consumption in Flagstaff, Arizona (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachael E. O'Hara. Emily Dale.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. With the impact of World War II and the development of Route 66, Flagstaff, Arizona grew exponentially from the 1940s to the 1960s. This growth is seen through a series of domestic artifacts collected at a home in Flagstaff’s Southside Historic District. Due to a lack of archaeological context, in this poster, we explore the items through the history of the Carrenos, a Hispanic family who...

Solving the Mystery of the Black’s India Pale Ale Bottle from the John Marsh House, Contra Costa County, California (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Glenn J. Farris.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During excavations at the John Marsh House built in the mid-1850s several whole bottles were found in the foundation trench. Two were Hunyadi Janos bottles, but the third was an exciting find because it still retained a paper label that was mostly intact that said “Black’s India Pale Ale.” Over the next thirty years efforts to learn more about this bottle were ineffectual. However,...

Solvitur Ambulando: Geophysical Surveys at Mission San Antonio de Padua, California (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert L. Hoover.

A Program of multimedia geopysical survey of the entire complex of Mission San Antonio is being conducted over a multiyear period.

The project highlights the benefil of the results of collaboration between...

Some Aboriginal Sites on Green River, Kentucky (1916)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Clarence B Moore.

J. Whittaker: (Reprinted 2006 Gustav’s Library, Davenport IA) Reports on burials from "The Indian Knoll" and other sites. Most attention to antler hooks and bannerstones, interpreted tentatively as "netting needles and mesh spacers", experiment shows they work. Atlatl theory considered, but: 1) no definite evidence of atlatls in area 2) atlatl should be one-piece for strength, 3) no points associated [not true, he reports lots of points from burials, including antler point in bone] 4)...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Errett Callahan. Errett Callahan.

Some experiments in the use of the atlatl (1943)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Walker J Davenport.

DOCUMENT Citation Only J W Raup. Errett Callahan.

"Some interest has been expressed in regard to the diet of the children": The Documentary and Archaeological Implications of Food at the Dorchester Industrial School for Girls. (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexandra U Crowder.

The "flora" portion of past diets tends to be an aspect of archaeological assemblages that becomes partially inferred, rather than completely recreated. When they exist, documentary records such as purchase lists and recipes can suggest dietary preferences. Archaeologically recovered macrobotanical assemblages display a concrete portion of consumption practices, but within the constraints of showing a small percentage of plant material that only survives in certain preservation...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Darlene E. Hassler. Justin P. Ebersole.

Harpers Ferry is fortunate to have a rich history of nearly 60 years of professional archeological endeavors. Over half of that has been under the tenure of Regional Chief Archeologist Dr. Stephen Potter. His relentless enthusiasm and support, as well as encyclopedic knowledge, were pivotal in driving new research within the park. Recently, the focus has been on the Armory site. While the Armory is best known for its history of firearm technology, the archeological investigation revealed a...

"Somewhere in No-Man’s Land": Army Camp Hanford and America’s Defense Program (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Margaret R Clark.

For four decades, Hanford reactors produced plutonium, generating the fuel for America’s first atomic bombs. In 1950, as the Arms Race increased, the Department of Defense established Anti-Aircraft Artillery sites throughout Hanford to protect the nation’s top secret nuclear facilities. Under the Army’s command, these AAA batteries, base camps and battalion headquarters were home to the men that were "the last defense." This paper will present the historical artifacts recovered from a refuse...
