This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Historic maritime activity along the Texas coast is extensive; Europeans have navigated the region the last ca. 500 years since initial Spanish exploration in the early 1500s. During this period, exploration, maritime shipping, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism activities increased relative to coastal and port development. Notable...

A 120-mile-long ribbon of fresh water between Vermont, New York, and Quebec, Lake Champlain has long served as a convenient pathway for trade and communication through the interior of northeastern North America. The lake was at the forefront of the 19th century’s steam navigation revolution, starting with the launching of Vermont in 1809 and ending with the retirement of Ticonderoga in the early 1950s. This paper will briefly examine historical highlights of Champlain’s steamboat era and...

The introduction of zebra mussels in the early 1990s and the inevitable approaching infestation of quagga mussels seriously threaten Lake Champlain's underwater cultural resources. These non-native aquatic nuisance species endanger the preservation of submerged cultural resources, obscure them, and hinder their documentation and study. Mussel colonies also threaten to degrade underwater cultural resources physically because of their weight and corrosive action. As of this writing, no effective...

The introduction of zebra mussels in the early 1990s and the inevitable approaching infestation of quagga mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) seriously threaten Lake Champlain's underwater cultural resources. These non-native aquatic nuisance species endanger the preservation of submerged cultural resources, obscure them, and hinder their documentation and study. In studying this issue, the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum determined that one positive reaction to the situation would be to locate and...

Built in 1820, the passenger sidewheel steamboat Phoenix II ran the length of Lake Champlain for 17 years until the worn-out hull was retired in Shelburne Shipyard. With no known existing ship plans, the sole method of reconstructing the hull is through accurate measurements and documentation of the wreck itself. Since June 2014, archaeological divers from Texas A&M University used traditional recording tools including tape measures, rulers and digital levels to measure the submerged ship’s...

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A 2018 submerged cultural resources survey conducted by Coastal Environments, Inc., under contract to the Ohio History Connection, focused on the waters off Ashtabula County.  The survey was designed to address high probability shipwreck sites and potential areas for submerged landscapes.  Geophysical survey was...

PROJECT Dean Snow.

The Lake George Project was designed as a regional archaeological project covering an area defined by twelve continuous USGS quadrangles: Bolton Landing, Fort Ann, Glens Falls, Hartford, Hudson Falls, Lake George, Lake Luzerne, Putnam Mountain, Shelving Rock, The Glen, Warrensburg, and Whitehall. This nearly square area contains portions of the Hudson River, Lake George, and Lake Champlain. It also contains the portage routes linking these bodies of water. During the course of the Lake...
