DOCUMENT Citation Only Kim A. McBride. Wayna L Adams.

This is an abstract from the "Communicating Working Class Heritage in the 21st Century: Values, Lessons, Methods, and Meanings" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. About 1941-1943, as the Cumberland (now Daniel Boone) National Forest, was forming, the occupants of two rural domestic sites in Menifee County, Kentucky left, most eventually to find work in factories of Ohio and Michigan. Recent historical and archaeological study of these sites has...

Sharing the Interpretive Center at Colonial Williamsburg: Archaeologists, Historical Interpreters, and Descendant Communities (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meredith M. Poole. Ywone Edwards-Ingram.

Archaeology at Colonial Williamsburg has always involved African Americans in different levels of its practice. Members of this community have worked behind-the-scenes and in more public roles at the museum since its founding in the late 1920s. This presentation addresses the unique ways in which archaeologists have worked with African Americans, and how this interaction has allowed archaeologists to reach descendant communities. Examples from past and ongoing activities are used to illustrate...

Sharing The Wealth: Crowd Sourcing Texts And Artifacts (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Esther White. Anna Agbe-Davies.

Historical archaeological studies have always relied upon statistically valid datasets for quantitative analyses and often required that archaeologists wade through volumes of text for clues to a site’s historical context. The digital age allows for the collection of these data in a variety of ways including gathering primary sources through crowd sourcing – multiple users, often from a diversity of sites or backgrounds, compiling data into a central repository. This paper explores the utility...

The Shelburne Shipyard Steamboat Graveyard: Four Early Nineteenth-Century Steamboats from Lake Champlain (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carolyn Kennedy.

Steamboat construction of the early nineteenth century remains largely forgotten and unstudied. Historical records provide little detail to how construction techniques were evolving in this experimental phase of steam-powered vessels. A survey of Lake Champlain’s Shelburne Shipyard revealed the remains of four nineteenth-century steamboats, three of which were built prior to 1840. The four hulls were recorded for comparative study during a field school which took place in the month of June,...

Shelburne Shipyard Steamboat Graveyard: Results of the 2015 field season using traditional and new recording techniques. (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Carolyn Kennedy.

A team of nautical archaeologists from Texas A&M University, the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum returned to Shelburne Shipyard in June 2015 to continue examining Wreck 2, a steamboat wreck from the early 1800s. Wreck 2 was surveyed during a preliminary investigation of four steamboat hulls in June 2014 and determined to be the oldest of the four. The 2015 team recorded Wreck 2 using both traditional archaeological methods and photogrammetric...

A Shell Above the Waters: An Ojibwa Maritime Cultural Landscape (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only T. Kurt Knoerl.

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For the Ojibwa First Nations in the Lake Superior region water was not only a source of life, but it permeated their cosmology, their music, their daily routines, and their very identity as well. This paper reports on research conducted in 2018 that took advantage of interviews, artwork, material culture, and...

Shell Bead Production at a Southern Appalachian Mississippian Frontier (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Maureen Meyers.

Frontier areas differ from non-frontier areas in multiple ways; one is by a more intense degree of interaction with other cultures. To successfully settle a frontier area, frontier groups must not just interact but also socially integrate with other groups. Craft production is one way social integration occurs. At the Middle Mississippian-period Carter Robinson site, there is evidence for the production of shell beads. This paper presents this evidence, which includes all stages of shell bead...

Shell Beads in the Sixteenth Century Northeast (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Samantha Sanft.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples in northeastern North America had been modifying marine shell for cultural use. However, the circulation of marine shell expanded and contracted over time. Few to no shell artifacts are recovered from fourteenth and fifteenth century sites in the Northeast, suggesting a gap in the cultural use of shell materials during this period; but over the...

Shell Bluff Site (22LO530) 1979-1986

PROJECT Eugene Futato. David Heisler. US Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District. US Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District.

The Shell Bluff document collection was obtained from the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, University of Mississippi. The original housing of this collection consisted of 66 linear inches of acid-free tri-tab folders contained within five acid-free boxes, plus a half-box of photographs. Document boxes were labeled 0192 to 0196 by the Cobb Institute. A majority of the folders were housed according to provenience rather than by record type. Also, although folders were numbered sequentially, there...
