Echoes of Memory: Ground-Truthing a Cemetery Geophysical Survey and Reclaiming a Forgotten Burial Ground of Mount Vernon’s Enslaved Community. (2019)
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 1: A Focus on Cultures, Populations, and Ethnic Groups" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This poster examines the results of a 1985 geophysical survey and compares them to the findings of an extensive archaeological excavation of the Slave Cemetery at George Washington’s Mount Vernon in Fairfax County, Virginia. While practical limitations often make it difficult for archaeologists to test the findings...
Ecological Change at James Madison's Montpelier (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology, Faunal, and Foodways Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Zooarchaeological evidence from James Madison’s Montpelier, spanning a century of occupation at the presidential plantation, provides an opportunity to explore the ecological impacts of the colonial plantation system in the Piedmont region of Virginia. From 1732 to 1836, enslaved labourers living throughout the property cultivated wheat,...

Economic Landscapes at Arcadia (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The land that now encompasses the Arcadia Mill Archaeological Site in Santa Rosa County, Florida was originally part of a nineteenth century Spanish land grant that was developed into an industrial complex. Two sawmills, a textile mill, and other facilities formed the largest water-powered industrial complex in northwest Florida, uniquely relying on the labor of over 90 enslaved...
The Edge of the World: Settlement, Production, and Trade in Early American Southwest Arkansas (2013)
The Atlantic World is usually used to focus on sites in the Chesapeake or other Eastern Seaboard loci of early settlement. By many reckonings, however, the Atlantic World endured well into the 19th century, and, if we take as a definition of the Atlantic World a focus on marine trade between the colonies and colonizers, then we must cast a much wider net. The earliest stages of settlement in the Trans-Mississippi South would certainly be included here. This paper explores the settlement of...

Educating Margaritaville: Maritime Heritage Outreach in the Florida Keys (2017)
The shipwrecks of the Florida Keys draw tens of thousands of divers each year to see the remains our maritime heritage in warm, clear water. A long history of treasure salvage at some of these historic shipwreck sites has caused misconceptions about the real treasure of these shipwrecks: their connection to Florida’s history and development. Many public education and interpretation initiatives target divers to provide accurate information about the shipwrecks’ histories and roles as vibrant...
Educating The Masses: The Role Of Volunteers And Interns In The Archaeological Process (2016)
Archaeology has always been, and will always be, a discipline that easily enchants and captivates the general public. The Anne Arundel County (AA County) Archaeology program has created a successful method of benefiting from this interest, turning ephemeral public interest into active and serious participation. Our volunteer program welcomes all interested persons into both the lab and field environment, producing a cadre of skilled volunteers, an invaluable group that uses abilities gained in...
Educating The Public About Archeological Excavations (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Public and Our Communities: How to Present Engaging Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Public education is important to promote understanding of archaeology. Excavations I have directed since 1972 have both educated students and welcomed visits and participation of local adults and children who became interested in the hands-on experiential learning involved in excavations. Media publications, including...
Education as a form of la perruque at Emancipation on Barbados (2015)
The role educational programs in the post-emancipatory context is an issue that archaeologists tend to categorize as a disciplinary practice in the Foucaultian sense, where instruction, with its material manifestations as archaeological evidence, were a means to impose control over the former slaves in the new labor system. By adapting the ideas of De Certeau, we can complicate our understanding of how practice was used both strategically by those in power and tactically by the former slaves....
Education as Resistance: The African School and New Guinea Community on Nantucket (2018)
In African American communities, education serves as a crucial tool used to resist racism and ensure the persistence of their culture and identity. In 1826 the African-American community of New Guinea followed this tradition with the establishment of the first public school on Nantucket. For the next two decades, the African school became the focus of an intense battle over school segregation on the island. While Nantucket’s popular history places the island at the forefront of the abolition and...
Educational Benefits of Collaborative Youth Archaeological Programs (2013)
This paper examines the benefits of using archaeology to enhance children’s education. I use the children’s programs run by the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project as a case study to explore the relationship between archaeology and the development of critical thinking skills. In the United States education Standards and the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act have been widely criticized by educators who argue that it has led to shallow coverage of topics, one size fits all education, and teaching...
Edward Rhodes – His Booke: Examining trade routes, functions and vessel performance through primary source documents (2013)
Edward Rhodes was a seventeenth-century sailor involved in the English-Chesapeake tobacco trade. Little is known of his life, aside from a single, but extremely detailed document housed in the Bodleian library in Oxford. From 1670-1676, he kept a book describing his journeys back and forth across the Atlantic in four different ships, keeping information on daily positions and weather, but also functional aspects of trade, deaths aboard the ship, and other information as he saw fit. Daily...

Effectiveness of Iron Artifact Treatments on Square Nails from the Montgomery Site, Kenosha County, Wisconsin (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Technology in Terrestrial and Underwater Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Corrosion, chloride ions, and salts all deteriorate archaeological iron, therefore it is important to swiftly remove them from artifacts upon recovery and prevent corrosion from recurring. This not only helps preserve archaeological iron, but removal of corrosion allows recognition of manufacturing features used to type and date...
The effects of cooking time on the strength of pitch glue made from Norway Spruce (Picea abies) Oleoresin (2006)
J. Whittaker: Fresh “oleoresin” is composed of volatile terpenes which plasicize nonvolatile diterpenes, cooking drives off former. Tested resin “loaded” with ground charcoal. Glue cooked only 15 min stronger than glue cooked much longer. Simple test relates roughly to hafting usefulness.
The effects of iron degradation on electromagnetic geophysical signatures. (2013)
A comprehensive investigation concerning the relationship between the degradation of iron objects and electromagnetic geophysical signatures is desirable, considering the volume and variety of iron used in various societies. We propose creating iron oxides and investigating how iron oxides affect the electromagnetic signature of iron objects. Using electrolysis, iron rebar of known composition is oxidized at differing time intervals to determine levels of corrosion. Rebar will be analyzed using...
Effects of Stone Projectile Points as a Mass Within the Atlatl and Dart Mechanical System (1997)
J. Whittaker: Dart is most important part of "spring mass mechanical system" - it flexes, and mass of point resists force, helps flex dart and store energy. Longer darts need bigger pts with more mass to flex efficiently. Distance tests - variation +1.5 gm around a 9 gm mass is ok Temporal trend to smaller points reflects faster darts, but more sensitive, so need more standardization of points in each local tradition [inadequate example given, and what about resharpening?] Stone points...
