Sociologist Michael Mayerfield Bell argues that ghosts -- what he describes as "the sense of the presence of those that are not there" -- haunt all landscapes, operating to "connect us across time and space to the web of social life." Bell does not distinguish between what might be considered memory ghosts and supernatural ghosts; both, he says, lead to a better understanding of the social experience of place. Archaeologists often steer away from ghosts because we consider them "not real."...

This is an abstract from the "Urban Erasures and Contested Memorial Assemblages" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 19th century San Francisco, tuberculosis infected nearly one in ten individuals. Unlike other racially charged epidemics, tuberculous ostensibly targeted individuals across all classed, gendered, and racialized groups. This, combined with tuberculosis’ spatial indeterminacy and geographic mutability, rendered consumptive spaces and...

This paper examines the collection of tools recovered from the Storm Wreck, a late eighteenth-century Loyalist evacuation transport lost in December of 1782 at the end of the American Revolutionary War on the St. Augustine Bar, in present-day St. Johns County, Florida. A variety of hand tools, many with their wooden handles preserved intact, have been recovered and are currently undergoing conservation treatment. While many of these tools were likely intended for general use in the home or...

From 1889 to 1917 Pacific Islander (mostly Hawaiian) converts to Mormonism lived, worked, and worshipped at Iosepa – a remote desert settlement in Utah’s Skull Valley. An examination of the settlement’s design and layout, together with an analysis of petroglyphs at the site, reveal ways this religious community actively negotiated traditional Hawaiian cultural practices and newly adopted Mormon beliefs in shaping and maintaining their unique religious identities – a process that continues among...

Recent excavations at General Washington’s Headquarters at Valley Forge have provided a somewhat rare glimpse of the Continental Army’s Commander in Chief. The house occupied by the General during his six month stay at the Valley Forge encampment served as both Washington’s residence and fulfilled the role of headquarters of the entire rebel army during that period. Excavations at the site yielded a great deal of information about everyday life at headquarters, as well providing insight into how...

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a shift from marble headstones to granite has been observed across the United States and in parts of Canada, as well.  The goal of this study is to determine when this shift in headstone material occurred in North Carolina, and what factors contributed to this transition.  Another objective is to determine how this shift impacted the expression of cultural meaning in North Carolina cemeteries.   By examining how the shift from marble to granite caused...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 19th century Berry Tavern outside Shullsburg, WI was accustomed to people moving through its grounds due to social events held there and its location on the Chicago to Galena, IL stagecoach road. However, at least six people never left. They fell ill and died from a cholera outbreak in the winter of 1854. Currently, the only recovered whereabouts of these individuals are six...

Beginning in 2015, the University of Missouri – St. Louis Archaeological Field School has taken place at the site of Regent Spring, a mineral water spring in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Previous surveys of this and surrounding coeval sites have been lacking. This is partially due to the frequent flooding of the nearby Fishing River, which has altered the topography over the past century. During the excavation of the Regent Spring site, students were able to rediscover features of this turn of...

Changing ideas about health can have important impacts regarding identity and the formation of a sense of place.  Fort Davis, Texas, was increasingly advertised as a health destination during the early twentieth-century.   Artifacts such as medicine bottles can give insight into social changes in health and medicine at a time when understandings of health and medicine were rapidly transforming.  These changes intersect with important social movements which occurred at around this time, including...

During the summer of 2014, students and staff from the University of West Florida continued the on-going excavation of a sixteenth-century shipwreck associated with the ill-fated Spanish colonization fleet of Don Tristán de Luna y Arellano (1559).  Throughout the ten-week summer field school, along with a subsequent fall season, underwater archaeologists attempted to locate the mainmast step and bilge pump assembly of the Emanuel Point II Ship. This paper covers the theoretical model designed...

The scanned photos of Heath sherds were created for Earl Sidler (a grad. student at SUNY/Buffalo) in the early 1970's. In the late 1980's Sidler gave these photos to Engelbrecht, who in turn gave them to Tim Abel. Engelbrecht borrowed these from Abel to scan and upload them to tDAR in 2012.
