The hunt for Sir John Franklin's lost ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror is arguably the longest shipwreck search in history. As a story the 1845 Franklin expedition seemingly has it all: two state-of-the-art ships and experienced Royal Navy men vanishing barely without a trace, a life and death struggle for survival in an unforgiving environment, cannibalism, dogged contemporary searches, and fascinating stories from indigenous Inuit who both witnessed the expedition's demise and went aboard and...

Dating to ca. 1660 and occupied for several generations by a locally prominent family, the Brewster House is revered as the oldest home in a Long Island town keen on memorializing history.  An archaeology of accountability reveals another side of the story, one that destabilizes complacent expectations and sanitized interpretations of white middle class homes.  Working from Bernbeck and Pollock’s (2007) premise that historical archaeologists must uncover the disturbing parts of history along...

PROJECT Dean Snow.

The landowner was Mr. John J. Golembeski at the time. The rock shelter at Whitehall was excavated over two years (1977-78). This spot was ideal because 10,000 years ago after the glacial ice cleared this area was most likely a migratory route for caribou.

     Colonel Horatio Sharpe, governor of colonial Maryland for sixteen years, left behind a testament to his position and wealth in the form of Whitehall, his plantation home on the Severn River.  The home has been through many renovations, but in the 1950s, a man named Charles Scarlett bought the home and passionately attempted to restore it to its original glory.  The restoration included building an earthwork fortification that at first glance appears to have been part of the original layout,...

From its inception in 1997, the Seneca Village Project has been dedicated to the study of this 19th-century African-American community located in today’s Central Park in New York City. We made this long-term commitment because of the important contribution that we think the project can make to the larger narrative of the US experience.  Seneca Village belies the conventional wisdom that there were  few Africans in the north before the great migration of the 20th century, and that, before...

A rigorous vessel form comparison of two archaeological assemblages in the collections of Plimoth Plantation, those recovered from the Wellfleet tavern site on Great Island, and the Joseph Howland site, located in Kingston, Massachusetts, represented the first careful study of a tavern component in relation to a domestic one.  This paper evaluates the original interpretive framework of that early study, framed in terms of occupational differences of site owners, in view of the changing...

Beginning with Marx, labor history was founded upon illuminating the role the working class can play in challenging our system of political economy. As vogelfrei (literally "bird-free") or rightless, unprotected bodies condemned to only sell their labor, the lives of the working class have been imagined to inhabit a kind of empty raw inertia propelling mass social change. Labor history has responded to this basic idea throughout its disciplinary history, changing with material, political,...

Archaeology is often conducted under the pretense of being to protect archaeological resources for the good of the general public; however, it is not always clear how archaeological excavations and research serve the public interest. There are many examples of how the Canadian public is interested in the archaeological discipline, but the voice of the academic archaeologist is often absent within public discussions of archaeology and history. By conducting a media analysis of how archaeology is...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2011, the body of an African-American woman who had died from smallpox was discovered buried in a Fisk metallic burial case in Elmhurst, Queens, New York. Her level of preservation made it necessary to contact the Center for Disease Control to confirm that the virus was no longer viable. Analysis of the woman’s remains provided ground-breaking insights into how smallpox colonizes...

Archaeologists typically conceptualize the "material" in an integrated analysis of material culture and biological data as artifacts/objects/things recovered through excavation from an historic mortuary setting. However, further explorations of meaning are possible when the definition of material encompasses both what is recovered and produced by archaeologists. Destructive testing, as a component of bioarchaeological analysis, creates additional materialized relationships between the living and...
