Whitehall Rock Shelter (11716)
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.

Whitehall's Restoration: A Tribute To Horatio Sharpe, A Reflection Of Charles Scarlett (2017)
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,...

Whither Seneca Village? (2016)
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...
Whither The Tavern Pattern? (2018)
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...

Who is "Free" Today?: Negotiating the documentary record of labor history for archaeology (2015)
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,...
Who Lies Buried Here? The Campo Santo at the Spanish Colonial San Diego Presidio: Gender, Status, Ethnicity (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Mission San Diego de Alcalá’s records from Spanish and Mexican era San Diego, California coupled with the results of archaeological excavation at Presidio de San Diego offer a unique opportunity to characterize life and death within...
Who Speaks for the Archaeological Record?: A Media Analysis of Canadian Archaeology (2016)
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...
Who Was The Woman In The Iron Coffin? (2020)
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...
Who/What Is In That Vial? (2018)
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...

Whole Molding Construction in Baía de Todos os Santos, Brazil (2015)
The survival of late medieval Mediterranean techniques to conceive and build ships and boats in Brazil was noted by John Patrick Sarsfield in the 1980s, but his study of the Valença shipwrights was interrupted by his tragic death in 1990. This paper is a contribution to the understanding of these shipbuilding techniques, which are still widely used in the region, from Valença to the Baía de Todos os Santos area.
Whose Midden is it Anyway? : Exploring the Origins of the Southwest Yard Midden at James Madison's Montpelier (2016)
During the 2014 field season, the Montpelier Archaeology Department sampled an area known as the Southwest Yard. A large midden containing approximately 14,300 individual faunal elements and fragments was found. The Southwest Yard is located in close proximity to the domestic enslaved living and working area known as the South Yard, suggesting the midden could belong to the enslaved community. Within the South Yard, however, is an 18th century kitchen known as the South Kitchen. I will look at...
Why "Chinese Diaspora" Is More Than Just An Ethnic Label (2016)
Some scholars, myself included, have recently argued in favour of a shift from "Overseas Chinese" to "Chinese Diaspora" as the most appropriate name for our field of study. But are we simply substituting one interchangeable ethnic label for another in accordance with intellectual trends? I argue that the term "diaspora" can potentially unite our disparate research interests because it brings with it a valuable body of theory that helps us understand the process of overseas Chinese migration and...
