A Study of Indigenous Daily Life Integrating Geophysical and Archaeological Methods at the San Antonio Missions (2017)
The San Antonio Missions were established along the San Antonio River in the 18th century by the Spanish in order to convert the native populations to Christianity and to buffer the French settlements to the east. These colonial institutes brought Spanish Catholic priests and indigenous groups together under one roof, merging cultural practices and beliefs. The missions are now a UNESCO World Heritage site and a vital part of San Antonio’s history and tourism industry. This paper presents a...

A Study of the Effects of Two Poly-Ethylene Glycol Pretreatments in the Conservation of Waterlogged Wood (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research at the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Waterlogged wood can be a challenging material to successfully conserve due to its frailty, ability to discolor, and ease with which it shrinks and warps. In an effort to minimize these issues, an experiment was devised to evaluate the use of an ethanol-based PEG solution versus a water-based...

A Study of Two Limestone Roads at the Nathan Boone Homestead Site (23SC2155) (2015)
Over the course of two field schools held by Lindenwood University, students have unearthed two limestone roads at the Nathan Boone homestead site (23SC2155) in Saint Charles, Missouri. Nathan Boone was the youngest son of Daniel Boone. The Boone family traveled to Missouri in 1799. Limestone, a local building material, was commonly used on the frontier. The two limestone roads at the Nathan Boone site share a close proximity but seem to be meant for separate purposes. Each road has a distinct...
Style and Sustenance: A Comparative Investigation of Cattle Husbandry, Beef Butchery, and Gentry Cuisine in Eighteenth-Century British Colonial Virginia and Connecticut (2017)
Cattle husbandry systems in Colonial Virginia and Colonial Connecticut diverged greatly from a shared British origin. Husbandry choices were not made in isolation, but instead this divergence was the result of a complex interplay between colonial goals, social organization, and changing British culinary fashions. Did the role of beef in regional Virginian and Connecticuter cuisines vary from contemporary British uses? Did they vary significantly from each other? By exploring the history of...
A Stylistic Analysis of New York Iroquois Pottery (1971)
The central question addressed in this dissertation was whether the League of the Iroquois was reflected ceramically. A clear reflection of this was not found, but there was increasing similarity between areas through time, including the Niagara Frontier, outside the geographic area of the original Iroquois Confederacy. The ceramic methodology and the sites used are discussed.
The Subculture of the U.S.Army during WWII and Its Impact on the Construction of a New Airbase in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska (2013)
This presentation reviews my MA thesis which examined how the subculture of a military organization can influence the construction of a new facility. During World War II, the U.S. Army had an upper class of commissioned officers who had access to many resources and a lower class of enlisted personnel who had limited resources. The U.S. Army also segregated African American and female soldiers, each group being restricted in unit assignment, work done, and separation from other white or male...
A Subfloor Pit from Stone Slave Quarters at Belvoir, Maryland: A panoply of objects within a succession of functions (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeology and Analysis of the Belvoir Quarter" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Excavation of stone quarters for enslaved African Americans by the Maryland Department of Transportation revealed a subfloor pit adjacent to a hearth in its front room. Such features are found in the homes of enslaved African Americans throughout North America. Patricia Samford’s (2007) systematic comparative analysis of...
Submerged but Not Forgotten: Considering Climate Change Impacts on Underwater Archaeological Heritage (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. While many studies have focused on understanding and mitigating the effects of climate change on terrestrial archaeological heritage sites, far fewer have sought to explore impacts on submerged sites. New shoreline dynamics, changes in salinity, ocean acidification, and rising water temperatures are all serious potential issues for...
Submerged Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene Sites in the Aucilla River Basin, Florida: What Can They Tell Us About Early Cultures We Could Not Learn Elsewhere? (2018)
Many projectile points of late Paleoindian and early Archaic styles have been recovered from underwater contexts in the Aucilla Basin. A large percentage of these are unprovenienced surface finds, but these artifacts have also been found in association with soils currently submerged more than 4 meters underwater. Dates from these soils span the Younger Dryas at Page-Ladson and Sloth Hole, while other sites have proven complex to date but provide excellent environmental information....
Submerged Skylines: Applications of GIS-Based Visibility Analyses in Reconstructing Submerged Cities (2018)
Reconstructions of submerged urban landscapes hold an important role in understanding the potential past form and function of a site. As these reconstructions grow more prominent, the tools used to manipulate and evaluate these reconstructions become increasingly more important. This project endeavors to expand that tool set by using GIS-based visibility analyses as a means of evaluating reconstructions and using them to contextualize the relationship between port cities and seafarers. Working...

In 2019, the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology’s Maritime Research Division implemented educational programming dubbed “SUBMERGED: Underwater Archaeology in South Carolina for 8th Graders” which targeted classrooms in underserved school...
Subordinate Economies Within The Barbadian Sugar Plantation Economy (2015)
Within the Barbadian sugar plantations of the 18th and 19th century, there existed multiple forms of economy. The typical economy, as described by historical texts, consists of sugar plantations exchanging sugar and molasses for goods from England and its North American colonies as well as for slaves from Africa. However, within the sugar plantation complex, a dense and layered sub-economy was impacting and being impacted by the day-to-day operations of the plantations themselves. At the core of...

Subsea Mudflows and Moving Shipwrecks: Submerged Cultural Resource Management on the Mississippi River Delta Front (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On May 12, 1942, the 500-foot-long, steel-hulled tanker Virginia was sunk by the German U-boat U-507 off the Mississippi River’s Southwest Pass. The shipwreck was discovered in nearly 300 feet of water during a 2001 oil and gas survey and was investigated by a remotely operated vehicle in 2004. A 2006 geophysical survey found that the shipwreck had moved more than 1,200 feet...

‘Success to America.’ The Role of British Creamware in the Production of American National Identity. (2016)
Excavations at New York City’s South Street Seaport uncovered an early nineteenth century deposit within the foundation of a small building on the property of a wealthy merchant. Among the artifacts in the deposit was a creamware plate that paid homage to the "sacred" memory of George Washington. Along with this solemn memorial, the imagery on the plate included a neoclassic goddess waving an olive branch towards a mercantile ship on the horizon. Despite the irony, British potters produced many...

"A Sudden Flaw of Wind" -The Politics, Prize, and Pottery of the British Sloop of War DeBraak (2018)
On May 25th, 1798 the British brig-sloop DeBraak was struck by a sudden squall and sank while attempting to put into harbor at Lewes, Delaware. The unpredictable winds of the Delaware Cape may have spelled her demise, but it was the shifting political winds of war between Revolutionary France and England, coupled with the vulnerability of American shipping and a new nation’s demand for manufactured goods, that brought this warship to Delaware’s shores. This paper examines the ceramics...
