This study aggregates and re-evaluates all available stable isotope data from archaeological human remains in British Columbia. Isotope signatures for coastal individuals correspond well with the heavy marine specialization attested to by archaeological and ethnographic studies of traditional Northwest Coast diets. Within this marine specialization, the data for coastal BC demonstrate a high degree of regional dietary variability, although high trophic level marine prey species are of ubiquitous...
Issues in Interpretation and Presentation of Cherokee Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (2018)
A crucial challenge in the public interpretation of Cherokee archaeology and cultural heritage is for Native community members to be able to inform the interpretation and presentation in every step of the process, from formulating research design, carrying out investigations, and the dissemination of the results. The emphasis in both formulating and interpreting cultural heritage work conducted by the authors is to use frameworks and approaches that start from Cherokee perspectives and goals....
It Always Comes Back to Identity: Materiality and Presidio Soldier Identity During the 1720-1726 Occupation of Presidio La Bahia (41VT4), Victoria County, Texas (2017)
Even as archaeologists continue improving the identification of Spanish colonial sites in Texas, consideration of the archaeological implications of the mix of regional and social identities that made up the settlers sent to populate these sites remains limited. Consequently, most research focuses on the presumed cultural provenance of artifact manufacture – European/Mexican/Chinese/Indigenous - to interpret colonial period sites and the material aspects of emerging frontier identities. While...
"It Doesn’t Matter if You’re a Citizen": Emic Perspectives on Border Patrol and Security from a Southern Arizona Border Town (2015)
Arivaca, Arizona is one of many small unincorporated communities along the US/Mexican border that have recently been thrust into the media spotlight in the wake of discussions of immigration reform. The dominant media narrative coming out of these towns is typically characterized by anti-immigrant sentiment and calls for more Border Patrol presence. Drawing on ethnographic work in Arivaca and archaeological work focused on Border Patrol activities, I offer a counter narrative to the...
It is Christmas and the House is on Fire: Understanding Labor Relations in Late Nineteenth-Century Baltimore (2017)
On Christmas Day 1877, a fire spread through a block of homes in the small quarry town of Texas in Baltimore County, Maryland. Although the fire destroyed the large stone rowhouse building, the flames also sealed the material record of the lives of a group of laborers and their families at that moment in time. Examining labor relations within the town of Texas and the wider Baltimore area in the latter half of the nineteenth century places these artifacts in context and helps to explain the...
"It is promised to them:" Loyalist Refugees’ Adaptation in the Exumas Cays, Bahamas (1784–1810) (2013)
The stone foundation ruins on Warderick Wells––an island in the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, Bahamas––have long been associated with refugee American Loyalists in the Bahamas after the American Revolution. Local oral tradition maintains that the Davis family occupied the property in the last quarter of the 18th century. Little historical evidence remains, however, to confirm the family association or the site’s connection to the Loyalists. The Exuma Cays were among several locations in the...

"It sounds second class, but the music was first class entertainment:" Mapping the Chitlin Circuit. (2018)
Experiencing its heyday between the 1920s - 1960s, the Chitlin Circuit was the route between concert venues for black musicians and entertainers in eastern, southern, and mid-western America.

The venues along the route frequently included other elements ranging from...

The National Park Service working in conjunction with local educators and researchers established education protocols, camps, and field school programs that would introduce archeology as part of...
It takes a village: Utilizing a synthesis of old and new data to better understand the patterning of workers’ housing of iron furnaces in western Maryland. (2018)
The large labor force needed to operate an iron furnace in the late 18th and 19th century necessitated the workforce to live close to the industrial complex they operated. Information drawn from the surviving structures at Catoctin Furnace, near Thurmont Maryland, along with primary sources such as oral histories, historic maps, company ledgers, and court documents, provides a comparative example for iron furnace villages in the area that are less well preserved. Understanding the...

It's All Fun And Gaming Pieces: An Exploration of Gaming Pieces From Colonial St. Augustine (2018)
For the colony of La Florida, life on the edge of the world was far from comfortable. Despite the hardships and dangers the residents of St. Augustine faced on a daily basis, they managed to find ways to amuse themselves. This poster investigates the distribution and spatial analysis of gaming pieces found in four colonial St. Augustine sites: Fatio, De Leon, De Mesa, and De Hita. These domestic sites span both the first and second Spanish periods and allow us to explore recreation and quality...
It's Not an Anomaly: Demonstrating the Principles and Practice of Investigating Adobe Features with Ground-Penetrating Radar (2018)
Earthen architecture has significant representation in building traditions across large temporal and geographic expanses, so everyone’s people at one time or another dabbled in this technology. Adobe, also known also as dagga, ferey, cob, and other names is a variant in which soil and other materials are formulated into discrete construction components, often in communities of practice for which adobe recipes, preparation, and application are integral to daily intersections of home and...
It's the Pits: Analysis of Civil War Camp Features at Gloucester Point, Virginia (2018)
Gloucester Point, located at the confluence of the York River and Chesapeake Bay in eastern Virginia, was considered a strategic military position during the Civil War. Confederate soldiers quickly recognized the importance of defending this location and constructed a battery along the banks of the river, from which the earliest shots of the of the Civil War in Virginia were fired. The Confederate army abandoned the camp a year later, and it was subsequently occupied by Union troops. The Union...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Comparative Perspectives on European Colonization in the Americas: Papers in Honor of Réginald Auger" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 1861 discovery by Charles Francis Hall of Elizabethan relics on Kodlunarn (White Man) Island in the outer reaches of Frobisher Bay, southeast Baffin Island, and a peculiar Viking-age radiocarbon date on one of Hall’s iron blooms, set in motion a multi-year international...

"It’s What’s Best for the City": Moral Authority, Power Relations and Urban Erasure in Transit Corridors (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Urban Erasures and Contested Memorial Assemblages" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Santa Rosa, California has experienced two waves of transit-driven landscape change over the past century. The first occurred when the 101 freeway was constructed through the downtown adjacent to its 19th-century railroad corridor in the 1940s. The second is occurring now, with the development of high density housing zones along the...
"I’m a lumberjack, and I’m okay . . . .": Inspiring Critical Reflection on Gender and Bias (2017)
The archaeology of gender is a complex field, examining the intersection of gender, sexuality, and class as performed through material culture. Research in the field also turns a spotlight on biases inherent in Western culture that are often blindly projected onto the past. Dr. Elizabeth Scott’s work challenges these biases, inspiring students and colleagues to think critically about perception and perspective while examining the lives of people "of little note." Her research elucidates the...
