A Shell Above the Waters: An Ojibwa Maritime Cultural Landscape (2019)
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 Beads in the Sixteenth Century Northeast (2020)
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...

Shields’s Folly: A Tavern and Bathhouse in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia (2016)
Alexandria Archaeology recently completed excavation of a 12 ft. deep well feature located in the basement of a historic building in the Old Town section of Alexandria, Virginia. The artifacts recovered from the well indicate that it was filled ca. 1820, when Thomas Shields operated the property as a tavern and bathhouse. Shields most likely dug the well in order to draw water directly from the premises instead of hauling water from a public pump down the street. Alas, the story does not have...
The Shift From Tobacco To Wheat Farming: Using Macrobotanical Analysis To Interpret How Changes In Agricultural Practices Impacted The Daily Activities Of Monticello’s Enslaved Field Laborers. (2016)
In 1997 Site 8 was uncovered at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello through excavations conducted by the staff of the Monticello Department of Archaeology and students in the Monticello-University of Virginia Archaeological Field School. Six features identified as either storage pits or cellars provide evidence of four buildings that once stood to house enslaved field hands between c. 1770 and c. 1800. This occupation is contemporaneous with the period in which Thomas Jefferson shifted Monticello’s...
Shifting Focus: Reorienting Western Histories with Historical Archaeology (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Frontier and Settlement Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Traditional histories of the American West tend to privilege and centralize the perspectives of the white male elite. But what hidden pathways into the past have been ignored as we continue to privilege this well worn historiography? What would happen if we shifted our perspective to the margins? Could reorienting our focus to those so often left...
Shifting Regimes: Progressive Southern Agriculture and the Enslaved Community (2017)
The late antebellum period witnessed the rise of an agricultural reform movement aimed at revitalizing the southern plantation system. Soil degradation from intensive cash crop cultivation contributed to the decreasing productivity of once prosperous farmland in many southern communities. Drawing on Enlightenment principles and scientific farming innovations such as crop rotation, fertilization, and soil chemistry, this progressive agricultural discourse attempted to maximize the efficiency of...
Shifting Sands: Evolving Educational Programming to Support Maritime Archaeological Research in Massachusetts (2018)
In 2015, the first accredited maritime archaeological field school took place under a partnership between Salem State University, NPS, NAS, the PAST Foundation, SEAMAHP, and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Resources. Examining a 19th-century schooner on the North Shore of Massachusetts, this field school launched two successive years of educational programs that spring boarded deeper research into historical, environmental, and methodological questions, for collaborating scholars. This...
Shining a Light on the Past: Jupiter Inlet (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Case Studies from SHA’s Heritage at Risk Committee" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse is one element of a multi-component site at risk due to storm surge, erosion, and inclement weather events. The Florida Public Archaeology Network's southeast region has documented the site after hurricanes, and trained local volunteers to assess damage to the site. This paper will document the effect of...
Shining in the Tar Woods: An Examination of Illicit Liquor Distillation Sites in the Francis Marion National Forest (2018)
Hell Hole Swamp, located in Berkeley County, South Carolina, was home to some of the largest moonshine distillation operations in the nation during the Prohibition Era. Although liquor distillation sites in the state date as early as the 1750s, few of these sites have been formally documented. These sites may have only ephemeral remains due to short and clandestine periods of use, and can be frequently overlooked as modern debris or refuse scatters. Utilizing archaeological models established...
Ship Graveyards: What Complete Shipwreck Removal Reveals About 19th Century Barge, Dredge and Tug Boat Construction (2015)
Great Lakes barge and dredge vessels were the workhorses that launched the 20th century’s economy in the region. However, these ships were historically and archaeologically marginalized. They were not the vessels whose travels were recorded in historic newspapers, or whose architectural plans were archived. Very little information about 19th century barge and dredge ship construction had been recorded for Great Lakes vessels. Eleven shipwrecks, including barges, dredges, tugs, and a schooner...
Ship Scanners II: This Time, It's Technical (2017)
In a world after the wrath of Superstorm Sandy, recovery efforts lead to an accidental run-in with a mysterious historic shipwreck. Now with a powerful gang of state and federal agencies breathing down their necks, can a rag tag team of maritime archaeologists, conservators, surveyors, and deep core drillers use 3D laser scanning, and computer modeling to make sense of this mess before the task order runs out ?!
Ship, Navire, Navío, Nave, Buque... Creating a Multi-Language Glossary for Early Modern Ship (2018)
Managing multi-language research can be frustrating and limits can soon be reached when trying to figure out the right translation. Moreover, even within one language, many variations exist of the same terms in historical treatises and between various archaeologists. This maelstrom of definitions and terms burden our field to limit our discussion and understanding. By creating a glossary of seven languages with different researchers from around the world, we aim to create a tool for scholars, as...
Shipboard Life aboard Phoenix II: Conserving and Interpreting the Artifacts from Lake Champlain’s Fifth Steamboat (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Shipwrecks and the Public: Getting People Engaged with their Maritime History" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 2014 to 2016, researchers from Texas A&M University carried out an investigation of a submerged archaeological site in Lake Champlain, Vermont. The site, Shelburne Shipyard, contained four steamboat wrecks from the nineteenth century. The study of the earliest of these steamboats, Phoenix II, yielded...
Ships As "Social Spaces": Analysing Shipwrecks From A Social Perspective (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "From the Bottom Up: Socioeconomic Archaeology of the French Maritime Empire" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When Keith Muckelroy (1978) conceptualised ships as machines, closed social spaces and extensions of land-based systems, he didn’t equip his ideas with working methods for analysing shipwrecks. Similarly, Richard Gould (2000) didn’t undergird his “social history of ships” with clear methods. Given...
Shipwreck Site Formation Processes of Commercial Fish Trawling and Dredging (2013)
This regional thesis documents that 1) commercial bottom fishing gear damages shipwrecks and 2) shipwrecks negatively affect commercial bottom fishing. From a 52-wreck sample, 69% of mid-Atlantic shipwrecks have 1 or more derelict trawl nets or scallop dredges on site. Deeper than 150 ft. (46 m), all metal wrecks have 1 to 5 scallop dredges, increasing at scallop rotational access areas. Sadly, wood wrecks do not survive towed dredge impacts. An enhanced shipwreck site formation process diagram...
Shipwreck Tagging Archaeological Management Program (STAMP): A Model for Coastal Heritage Resource Management Based on Community Engagement and Citizen Science (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Citizen Science in Maritime Archaeology: The Power of Public Engagement for Heritage Monitoring and Protection" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Florida Public Archaeological Network began the Shipwreck Tagging Archaeological Management Program (STAMP) in 2019. STAMP utilizes citizen scientists to assist archaeologists in tracking the movement and degradation of beached/coastal shipwreck sites and...
Shipwrecks Of The Florida Keys, Salvage, And The Conservation Movement (2016)
The National Historic Landmarks Program is an initiative administered by the National Park Service to identify national significant historic places that possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. While there are currently more than 2,500 historic properties throughout the country bearing this distinction, only a small percentage include maritime cultural heritage and only seven include shipwrecks. While many individual National...
Shipwrecks, Doghole Ports, and the Lumber Trade: Maritime Cultural Landscape Survey of California’s Sonoma Coast (2017)
California’s Sonoma Coast is a rugged and beautiful seashore with a wealth of natural resources extending from kelp forests to redwood groves. Humans have interacted with this marine environment for thousands of years; it has shaped their lives and they have left their mark on the landscape. During the mid-19th and early 20th century, the Sonoma lumber trade greatly affected the coastal environment as it contributed to the economic development of the American West Coast. In 2016, California...
