Prehistoric Production or Enslaved Curation?: An Evaluation of the Temporal and Spatial Distributions of the Lithic Assemblage at The Hermitage. (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth Bollwerk.

The Hermitage assemblage is a treasure trove of 19th-century material culture. However, DAACS analyses have revealed that, in addition to hundreds of thousands of 19th century artifacts, over 23,500 fragments of lithic debitage, projectile points, and tools were unearthed from the plantation complex. This paper examines this lithic assemblage and evaluates whether its presence and distribution is the result of prehistoric Native Americans’ activities at the site or production/curation by the...

Prehistoric Tree Island Use in the Northern Everglades: New Evidence from the Late Archaic (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William Locascio. Matthew Colvin.

A season of test excavations at a late archaic tree island site in south Florida has produced several interesting, if broad, patterns in the practices of prehistoric peoples living within this landscape. Stratigraphic evidence further supported by AMS dating reveal use of the tree island spanning nearly 1000 years of periodic long-term human occupation. Evidence attests to a certain "social fabric" at the settlement, suggesting its identity as a memorable place on the landscape, a quality...

Preliminary analysis of Archaic lithic material from the Murrell Home in Cherokee County, Oklahoma (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicholas Trudeau. James Torpy. Travis Williams.

In 2016, excavations at the George M.

Abandoned during the Civil War, the Murrell home is currently owned by the Oklahoma Historical Society and run as a living history museum and park. Located near the confluence of three major waterways, the site lies in an ecotone between broadleaf forests and prairie parkland. The lithic...

Preliminary Analysis of Faunal Remains from the 17th-Century John Hollister Site, Glastonbury, Connecticut (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah P. Sportman.

Recent archaeological investigations at the 17th century John Hollister Site in Glastonbury, Connecticut resulted in the recovery of thousands of extraordinarily well-preserved faunal remains. The diverse assemblage, which includes mammals, birds, fish, and shellfish, was recovered from three large, filled cellar contexts. The food remains provide an unprecedented look at the foodways, animal husbandry strategies, and food procurement activities of Connecticut’s earliest settlers, and...

A Preliminary Analysis of Lead Sheathing and Waterproofing Evidence from Queen Anne's Revenge (1718) (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Borrelli.

Throughout history, ocean-going watercraft have been the primary vehicle for global trade, colonization and exploration. Constant wear on ship’s hulls over time, coupled with damage from marine fouling organisms prompted sailors and shipwrights to develop a diverse range of methods and materials to protect their vessels from harm. Nautical sheathing refers to the exterior covering of a ship’s hull with a thin layer of metal or wood to protect the vessel from marine life fouling, and to stabilize...

Preliminary Assessment of Recent Research at the Old Vero Site (8IR009), Vero Beach, Florida (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only J. M. Adovasio. C. A. Hemmings. F. J. Vento. J. S. Duggan. J. H. Higley.

Intensive excavations and attendant analyses conducted at the Old Vero Site (8IR009) from 2014-2017 have revealed a long and complex stratigraphic succession which dates from ca. 30,000 B.P. to the present. The excavations have documented not only 195 species of plants and animals but also a human presence which extends back to at least 11,000 B.P. and, perhaps, earlier. Terminal Pleistocene extinction dates are provided on several taxa as well as observations about the environments within which...

A Preliminary Autopsy on Coffins Beach, Gloucester, Massachusetts (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Victor T Mastone. Leland Crawford.

From June to September 2014, the remains of a previous unknown shipwreck emerged from the sands of Coffins Beach.

Detailed documentary research identified up to 80 shipwrecks occurring in the vicinity since 1635; two thirds occurring prior to 1860, chiefly described as shallops, sloops, and early schooners. The extant...
