This paper examines sustainability and public archaeology from several perspectives. The focus is the Michigan State University (MSU) Campus Archaeology Program (CAP). One major focus of my work has been establishing mechanisms to ensure that the program continues. Another challenge has been crafting ways to ensure knowledge about and participation in what we do. On a university campus, people come and go yearly, and within four years, your wonderful excavation or program will be part of the...
Sustainable Archaeology: The 2017 Estate Little Princess Archaeological Field School in St. Croix (2018)
The Estate Little Princess Archaeological Field School (ELIPS) expands the practice of community-engaged archaeology to focus on sustainability and capacity building. Thus, we are concerned with not only including communities in the design, implementation, and dissemination of the research but specifically in training local youth in archaeological practice. The goal of this project has been to produce more Crucian archaeologists, develop student interest in STEM fields, and create cultural...
Sustainable Heritage Management Strategies at the Nate Harrison Site (2018)
To provide the Nate Harrison Historical Archaeology Project with a sustainable plan for community outreach, even post-excavation, this paper discusses local, related museums and their viability in a time of low attendance and budget-related struggles. It addresses the justification for a museum at the Nate Harrison site on Palomar Mountain when so many similar entities have been devalued. If a museum is created, the design must transcend archaeological finds from a single historical figure and...
Sustainable research in archaeological science: Examples from high-and low resolution biogeochemical studies of archaeological shell (2017)
Advances in archaeological sciences demonstrated the (almost) unlimited potential to apply new methods and techniques to existing and under-utilized archaeological collections. Developing programs of research using innovative and multi-disciplinary approaches to the analysis of material cultural, hard tissues, sediments and organic remains are critical to move the discipline of archaeological sciences forward. More critical, is the balance between technical skills one learns to become an...
Sustenance & Style: A Holistic Interpretation of Archaeobotanicals & Artifacts in 19th Century Philadelphia (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeobotanical assemblages can provide a rich and varied perspective on how past communities interacted with plants, their surrounding environment, and each other. As with other artifact types, however, the interpretation of archaeobotanicals is inherently limited due to the specific depositional behaviors and environments necessary for the survival of botanical material....

Swedish Imperialism in the North American Middle Atlantic: 1638-2013 (and counting) (2013)
Swedish imperialism in North America began in 1638. Although the colony survived only 17 years, I argue that memory events and places keep Swedish colonialism alive in the U.S. Landscapes and landmarks illuminate the extenuated processes of defining, defending, traversing, and sustanining New Sweden physically, emotionally, and ideologically for 375 years (and counting). Patricia Seed (1995:2) argued that "colonial rule over the New World was initiated through largely ceremonial...
The Swedish Sailor’s Table (2018)
With the raising of the Vasa came thousands of artifacts, including various examples of treenware, or wooden tableware. From the collection it is clear: although the sailors aboard did not actually have time to eat a meal on that fateful first cruise, they were indeed equipped to do so. There are 174 artifacts in Vasa’s treenware collection, that represent at least 27 different styles in both carved and turned woodcraft technology. This paper offers a detailed description and accounting of each...
Sweet Home Alabama: Evidence of an 18th Century Native American Village at the Chatsworth Plantation Site (16EBR192) in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana (2018)
After the Seven Years War in 1763, French aligned Alabama Indians found their eponymous homeland jeopardized by conflicts with Native American neighbors. Over the next few years, groups of Alabama sought refuge in what is now Louisiana. In the early 1770s, one Alabama group moved to the east bank of the Mississippi River near Bayou Manchac in what was then British West Florida. Now an insignificant waterway, Manchac was an international boundary between the British and Spanish in the 18th...
"Swinging Doors": The Allure & Artifacts of Nineteenth-Century Saloons (2018)
The saloon is a fixture of the oft-romanticized ‘Wild’ American West. Featured in stories, movies, and television, it hosted some of the region’s most colorful characters. While many romantic notions of the West fall apart under scrutiny, a grain of truth exists where the saloon is concerned: it was a key institution on the nineteenth-century American frontier. Like the frontier itself, the saloon came about as a result of new influences mixing with old patterns. In the eighteenth...

Symbiosis of Fast and Slow Archaeology: A Retrospective Analysis of Historical Archaeology on the Georgia Coast (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plantation Archaeology as Slow Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Antebellum Georgia was the epicenter of an intertwined multiplicity of international and oftentimes antithetical narratives. On the Sea Islands, we see materialized shadows of the colonial Chesapeake, Igboland in West Africa, and British colonial sugar plantations. We see the effects of mature plantation systems that reciprocally...
A Sympathetic Connection: The role of sympathy in an archaeology of contemporary homelessness (2017)
Sympathy is a sentiment that involves the recognition of self in another on the grounds of similitude. For archaeologists sympathy is an important concept as it is materially based and allows for communication across various boundaries of difference. Most scholars tend to focus on the body and embodied experience as the grounds for sympathetic connection. However, archaeologists can evoke sympathy in the marked absence of bodies in order to connect across spatial, temporal, and social boundaries...
Sympathy For The Loss of a Comrade": Black Citizenship And The 1873 Fort Stockton "Mutiny (2018)
In the 19th century, white elites saw African American literacy as a dangerous tool that would allow black communities to make claims for equality. This was certainly the case in 1873, when the majority of the Black Regulars at Fort Stockton, Texas organized and signed a petition calling for the formal censure of the post surgeon, arguing that the recent death of a fellow soldier was due to the doctor’s intentional and malicious neglect. As a result of this attempt to seek justice through...
System Of Environmental Analysis (SEA): An Underwater Environmental Sensor And Its Applications (2018)
System of Environmental Analysis (SEA), a portable environmental sensor for liquids which can track pH, ambient temperature, humidity, and which contains a peristaltic pump for sample collection, was developed for the Ship Biscuit & Salted Beef Research Project at Texas A&M University to record changes in chemical composition and other features of cask contents. A prototype of SEA was designed to record the data from the sensors and send the data via Bluetooth communication. Environmental sensor...

A Systemic Study of Air Combat Command Cold War Material Culture, Volume I: Historic Context and Methodology for Assessment (1995)
This study presents the results of an Air Combat Command (ACC) command-wide baseline assessment of Cold War historic resources. The goal of the study was to locate, evaluate, interpret, and prioritize ACC material culture at 27 bases within the continental United States and Panama (including Seymour Johnson AFB). The study was designed to evaluate real property, personal property, and records and documents sites that may be exceptionally significant due to their relationship to the Cold War,...
