New York (State / Territory) (Geographic Keyword)
3,976-4,000 (12,255 Records)
This paper examines the assemblages of three sequentially occupied sites related to the displacement and northward migration of the Piscataway from their southern Maryland homeland between 1680 and 1743. These collections provide evidence for the group’s adjustments to new physical and social terrains encountered in dislocation. Although historical records document Piscataway efforts to distance themselves from the encroachment and harassment of English colonists by vacating their ancestral...
Displacement, Memory, and Community Heritage Work in the Old City of Acre (Israel) (2018)
In 2001, the Old City of Acre, a Palestinian quarter of the mixed Jewish-Palestinian municipality of Acre in northern Israel, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and state projects are underway to transform the Crusader and Ottoman-era landscape into a tourist attraction. This research asks how residents, most of whom belong to internally displaced families of 1948, are navigating the state heritage project. Memories of displacement and of the relative safety and autonomy found in the...
Disrupted Identities and Frontier Forts: Enlisted men and officers at Fort Lane, Oregon Territory, 1853-1855. (2016)
Frontiers are contingent and dynamic arenas for the negotiation, entrenchment, and innovation of identity. The imposing materiality of fortifications and their prominence in colonial topographies make them ideal laboratories to examine this dynamic. This paper presents the results of large scale excavations in 2011 and 2012 at the officers’ quarters and enlisted men's barracks at Fort Lane, a U.S. Army post used during the Rogue River Wars of southern Oregon from 1853 to 1855. I consider how...
Disrupting Pedagogies: Queer Theory in the Classroom, Field School, and Mentoring (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Gender Revolutions: Disrupting Heteronormative Practices and Epistemologies" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In this paper we discuss queer pedagogical methods. Through a review of our own experimental teaching practices, we aim to disrupt traditional pedagogical models. Over the course of our combined 16 years of teaching, we have implemented and tested a variety of exploratory techniques that embody the...

Distributed Remains, Distributed Minds: The Materiality of Autopsy and Dissection (2018)
Excavations at the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery produced a large subset of burials showing evidence of autopsy and dissection. In addition to the osteological evidence of autopsy and dissection, these burials also contained broken equipment and medical refuse which reflect the medical, pedagogical, and medicolegal procedures in use at the turn of the last century. An incorporated study of these materials is necessary to examine the connection between the practical engagement with...
Distribution of Biface Preforms (2012)
Biface staging follows Callahan (1979) with the addition of the following half stages: 2.5 and 3.5. A Stage 4 biface preform is considered Late Stage. Biface fragments were too incomplete to be staged.
The Distribution of Cowrie Shells in Colonial Virginia (2013)
Cowrie shells (Cypraea moneta and Cypraea annulus) have been found in historic contexts associated with African enslavement on New World sites in the Caribbean, the American South, the Middle Atlantic, and the Northeast. Historical archaeologists have come to see these tiny shells as generally indicative of African presence and as specific evidence of spirituality at the sites where they are recovered. In this paper, I examine the role of cowrie shells in the global economies of the 17th, 18th,...
Distribution of Debitage (2012)

Also shown: the distribution of whole endscrapers and broken endscrapers. Broken endscrapers are generally represented by the end with steep retouch. Broken and whole endscraper tabulations are combined in the distribution "Total Endscrapers." The scraper and broken scraper categories encompass a variety of shapes and sizes, but all exhibit use wear. The distribution...
Diver-Archaeological Reconnaissance Cooperative (DivARC): Veterans working with Nautical Archaeological Society-New England (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 process of returning to civilian life after departing military service presents a series of significant challenges to veterans. Often missing from life once back home are opportunities to engage in challenging and meaningful activities of purpose with trusted...
Divergent Heritages: Two Case of Labor Conflict (2018)
Ludlow, Colorado and the Pullman neighborhood of Chicago present two contrasting examples of a postindustrial environment. Both were the sites of significant labor conflicts of the 20th century, but their preservations have taken opposite paths. Today Pullman stands as a National Monument and historic district, while Ludlow is a granite memorial in a so-called ghost town. This paper compares both the material aspects of these postindustrial environments and the publics who interact with them....
Divergent Paths: Reflections on Section 106 and the Archaeology of Nostalgia (2018)
For nearly half-a-century Illinois historical archaeologists have been buffeted by changing disciplinary goals, compliance directives, and academic fluxes. Early efforts in the 1920-50s at Lincoln’s New Salem, French Colonial sites, and pioneer sites were classic "handmaidens to history" designed to materialize significant historic events. The focus shifted dramatically with the NHPA and processualistHistoric emphasis in Criteria D on significance resting solely on material remains. Given the...
Diverse Dining: Post-Emancipation Foodways in Antigua, West Indies (2017)
The role of zooarchaeology and foodways in plantation archaeology has aided in teasing out the details of daily life and shifting sociocultural habits during the colonial period. Plantation archaeology has also had a distinct focus on the African diaspora communities. However, the post-Emancipation period complicates the narrative even further as new ethnic communities were brought or drawn to the new labor requirements of plantations at this time. Post-Emancipation Antigua saw an influx of...
Diverse Threats to MAST and its Heritage in Africa : Confronting Historical Amnesia and Salvors; Securing Slim Resources and Social Relevance (2016)
In much of the developing world a triumvirate of treasure hunting, politics, and a lack of technical capacity/resources have skewed portrayals of what maritime history is and why it is meaningful. Shipwreck sites in particular have been promoted as the embodiment of the heritage of "the other" with little local relevance. Treasure hunters accordingly go unchecked in their efforts to recover valuable historical cargos—with detrimental effects for the archaeological inventory. This paper will...
Diversity and Strong(er) Objectivity in Historical Archaeology (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Gender Revolutions: Disrupting Heteronormative Practices and Epistemologies" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Feminist archaeologists and philosophers of science have long argued that a person’s knowledge is shaped by their identities and their position within society; standpoint theory has specifically contended that marginalized people have an epistemic advantage over their privileged peers in...
Divided: Material Landscapes of Labor in Nineteenth-Century Baltimore City and County, Maryland (2016)
Like the strikes of the late nineteenth century, especially the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, tensions arising from chronic inequality and marginalization once again led to protests and demonstrations in Baltimore in April 2015. Areas of Baltimore remain alienated along racial and class lines that serve a capitalist process driven by the maximization of profit. This paper examines how this same process resulted in the stratification of immigrant and African American communities in Baltimore...
