Over 230 archaeological sites have been recorded at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Tidewater Virginia, and most famously include early colonial occupations and Civil War fortifications on Mulberry Island.

Village Life in the Barracks (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Phil T. Dunning.

Fort Wellington, in Prescott, Ontario, Canada was a major British post in the 19th century. The large blockhouse-type barracks in it was served by a separate wooden latrine building, built in 1838. Parks Canada archaeologists excavated the interior of the latrine, and discovered that it had been used for dumping refuse for most of its existence. Material culture researchers studied the artifacts, and found that life in the barracks was much different from what it had been thought to be. Working...

Villages on the Edge of the Edge: Reflections on the Changing Economics of Irish Coastal Communities (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Kuijt.

Island village communities are both physically detached from, and connected with, mainland urban and foreign economic communities.   In the context of 19th to 20th century Irish fishing communities, landlords owned entire islands and ran them as economic enterprises.  On the Connemara islands of Inishark, Inishbofin, and Inishturk, tenants often lived in close physical proximity to each other, in villages of a hundred or more people, paying rent to the landlord in exchange for use of stone...


Violence, Silence and Four Truths in American Historical Memory (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara J. Little.

Just days before I wrote this abstract, the city of New Orleans finished removing four monuments to the Confederacy and the Lost Cause, inspiring other cities to consider the same. This example of people taking control of the narrative inscribed in their own landscape serves as backdrop to this session in which we reflect on the changing nature of place-based historical memory. I consider the changing nature of America and what it means to be a society that appears to be moving away from a...


Virtual Archaeology: Teaching Archaeology Using Virtual Reality And Game-based Learning (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Laura L Shackelford. Emma L Verstraete. Wen-Hao Huang. Cameron Merrill. Alan Craig.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Despite the importance of field work in teaching archaeology, field opportunities are available to few students due to logistical, financial, or mobility constraints. To address these challenges, we have created a virtual archaeology undergraduate course that uses game-based learning strategies to convey archaeological concepts and technical skills. We present the initial design and...


Virtual Public Archaeology: Using 3D Imaging and Printing to Engage, Educate, and Enthrall the Public (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kevin A Gidusko. Bernard K. Means.

Three-dimensional (3D) modeling and printing are cutting-edge applications at the frontiers of archaeological data collection and dissemination. Recent advances in 3D modeling, coupled with reduced costs, provides broad access to these technologies, making them increasingly viable tools for archaeologists to share information not only with each other, but also with the public. Two case studies representing this type of public archaeology can be found in the separate efforts currently undertaken...


Virtual Shipwrecks; Photogrammetry and User Interface Design in Archaeological Outreach (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean C Cox.

In the past decade, new software has made it easier and less expensive for archaeologists to use the tools of photographers and game designers to produce novel outreach tools with photogrammetry. Among these relatively new applications is the ability to create virtual worlds from photographic and video data. The public can now access a number of archaeological sites through game platforms, like Steam, using VR goggles and mobile devices to experience a site. This paper addresses means of...

But such artifacts are valued for more than their mere historical associations, often inciting scholarship...
