Inquiry-Based Learning and the Kingsley Shelter Curriculum (2013)
Archaeologists invested in outreach and education, such as the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), are adapting to an American educational climate focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)-based resources. As such, the investigation of a Kingsley Slave Cabin addition to the Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter curriculum is a critically needed resource, allowing students from elementary schools across the southeastern United States to engage in science and math...
Inroduction to the John Hollister Site (2018)
The John Hollister Site in Glastonbury, Connecticut was occupied from at least 1650 to about 1715. Since that time it has rested quietly beneath an isolated pasture. Recent archaeological investigations of the site documents how effectively the Hollisters and their tenants were able to adapt to this new land and become socially and economically successful, despite many environmental, social, cultural and political challenges. The site is unique to Connecticut in providing such a rich picture of...
The Inscribed Word vs. the Spoken Word in African History and Archaeology (2013)
Pierre Nora got it wrong when he drew a distinction between inscribed history and social memory. By making this unfortunate dichotomy he unwittingly amplified a long standing separation between the written word and the spoken word in history making. The writings of F. Lwamgira in NW Tanzania provide a poignant study from which insights emerge about the speciousness of such distinctions. Lwamgira's writings take on an authoritative quality by becoming materially inscribed representations of Haya...

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. Per a request in 2016 of the Seneca Nation of Indians, Mercyhurst University has been conducting archaeological field training at Custaloga Town, a Seneca-Delaware village known from historical documents for its 1750s-60s occupation. Established by the Delaware leader Custaloga, the site is located on French Creek...
Insights from the Virginia Street Bridge Demolition and Replacement Project, Reno NV (2016)
The Virginia Street Bridge, one of the oldest reinforced concrete bridges in the west, located in downtown Reno, Nevada, was built in 1905 and designed by the well know architect John B. Leonard. The bridge stood on the founding location for the city of Reno and with its construction shifted the commercial core of Reno away from the railroad and to the Truckee River making the area around the bridge a center point for commerce in the city. Because of the bridge’s loss of structural integrity...
Insights into Nineteenth Century US Westward Expansion from the River Basin Surveys Collections. (2015)
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Louisiana Purchase significantly expanded the United States. For decades thereafter, the Missouri River was the main transportation route for US interests in the new northwestern regions of its territory. Consequently, many sites related to US colonialist expansion in the form of fur trade posts, military forts, Indian Agencies, and early US settlement, were located along the Missouri River. Several of these sites were investigated during the River...
Insights on the American Experience from Zooarchaeology (2013)
Archaeological investigations of historical sites in the midwestern United States provide numerous examples that illustrate how zooarchaeological analyses can provide unique perspectives on how various social and ethnic groups responded to changing culture contact situations, as well as to alterations in economic and environmental settings. Although studies of animal remains are typically directed at revealing details about past foodways, several case studies demonstrate how animal exploitation...
The Inspiration of Landscape in the Works of Vardis Fisher (2013)
Vardis Fisher, an Idaho native, was a mid-Twentieth Century prolific writer of novels on Western Americana, as well as histories, articles and poetry. Fisher was born and grew up in rural southeastern Idaho, surrounded by mountains and wide open spaces. Almost all of his writing career was spent near Hagerman, Idaho, on property overlooking a large lake, fed by waterfalls emanating from a basalt cliff face. He and his wife, Opal, built a house there and fully landscaped the property, in...
Institutions of the Reformation, Institutions of Reform: Archaeology, Protestantism, and Modernity in the South Pacific (2013)
When scholars speak of "the Modern World", they often refer to capitalism, nation states, and colonialism. It is often assumed that the transition to modernity correlates with increased secularism, though recent scholarship challenges this idea, specifically linking certain concepts about modern subjectivity to the philosophy of the Protestant Reformation. Tracing the impact of the Reformation across time and space is crucial to understanding modernity, especially in situations where some of the...
Insufferable Conduct: The Slave Overseer in 18th-Century Virginia (2018)
Historical and archeological literature documenting plantation overseers in the American South is very limited and the extant sources focus almost entirely on overseers from the later antebellum period. The relevance of such information to colonial-period overseers, who are rarely identified in the archeological record and who left few documentary traces, is unclear. At the Accotink Quarter site (44FX0223) in Fairfax County, Virginia, intact historic features and artifact deposits indicated the...
Integrated Maritime Cultural Landscape for Management of Vulnerable Coastal Communities’ Heritage (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In this paper, we will apply the concept of Maritime Cultural Landscape (MCL) as a tool to evaluate the maritime heritage of Northwest Florida for a National Heritage Area (NHA) designation. We hypothesis that integration of MCL concept and NHA criteria can offer a unique management tool for coastal cultural heritage and local communities against the adversities of natural...
Integrating Material Culture from the Betty’s Hope Archaeological Project: a Multifaceted Approach (2013)
This paper examines how archaeological investigations at Betty’s Hope, a former English sugar plantation on the Caribbean island of Antigua, can encompass a variety of approaches in working with archaeological materials recovered from the site, as well as the site itself. Betty’s Hope operated from 1651 until 1944, making it one of the oldest and most continuously operating plantations on the island. Its long history, combined with good preservation, provides an ideal laboratory for studying...

Integrating pollen and macrobotanical evidence to understand change in African-American lifeways at Monticello (2018)
The transition from tobacco to wheat cultivation in the late-18th century at Monticello radically altered agricultural ecology, as swidden plots gave way to permanent fields. We use macrobotanical remains and pollen as complementary evidence to assess how this shift affected plants use strategies employed by enslaved field hands and the botanical environments they maintained adjacent to their houses. The identified shift in pollen taxa does not match the pattern we previously identified for...
Integrating Teacher Professional Development with Archaeological Summer Camps (2018)
The sheer joy of being a kid at an archaeological summer camp is not lost on adults. In fact, by involving teachers in summer camp and other investigations, in a "kid" role, allows them to experience the wonder of hands-on discovery. Add in some additional professional development and you create empowered teachers who infuses their lesson plans with engagement, rich content, authenticity, and relevancy. In recent years the PAST summer field teams introduced this new type of teacher professional...
Intellectual "Treasure Hunting:" Measuring Effects of Treasure Salvors on Spanish Colonial Shipwreck Sites (2016)
This poster presents research on the effects of treasure salvors on Spanish colonial shipwrecks in Florida. Currently, there is no basis for quantifying treasure salvor impacts on Spanish colonial shipwrecks. The Pillar Dollar wreck in Biscayne Bay and three vessels from the 1733 Spanish plate fleet serve as case studies for this research. The poster addresses the following questions: 1. What can the academic investigation of the treasure salvor industry reveal about what is lost or gained...
Intemperate Men: Alcohol and Autonomy Within the Lumber Camps of Michigan's Upper Peninsula (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Industrial capital often instilled discipline through control of social behaviors. Alcohol consumption was most often targeted due to its effects on worker productivity. Although many late 19th and early 20th century corporations had strict alcohol policies, the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company (CCI) never enforced sobriety within their lumber camps. CCI took a hands off approach to...
