This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The unexpected discovery of human remains from an unmarked cemetery for convicts located on Watford Island, Bermuda provides a unique opportunity to reconstruct the lives of these forgotten builders of the British Royal Naval Dockyard, now a major tourist destination. Buried in the early 1850s, the remains of at least seven men represent more than 9,000 British and Irish prisoners...

Bioarchaeology often provides a pathway back to public recognition for forgotten historical figures.  This presentation provides an osteobiography of Reverend Stephen H. Gloucester, a once nationally prominent and now virtually forgotten African-American abolitionist, educator, and community leader.  Born enslaved in Tennessee, by the 1830s Gloucester was a vocal participant in the American Anti-Slavery Society, a founder of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, and one of the primary...

The Pacific Ocean has been an imposing barrier to human travel since the first humans ventured into the region.  It has also been an important route of travel joining vastly different peoples that surround and inhabit it.  The Pacific takes up half the surface of the planet, and yet historical archaeologists have rarely taken the time to treat it as a single entity.  The "Atlantic World," "the Black Atlantic," "Atlantic Worlds" are our stock in trade.  But does the Pacific World exist?  If so,...

Forest Home Cemetery is the final resting place for a large cross-section of Chicago’s population. Not far from its entrance lies the cemetery’s most visited section: the burials of seven of the eight men tried and convicted for their involvement in the 1886 Haymarket Square bombing. Dominated by a monument to the Haymarket "martyrs" and an adjoining "Radical Row"—internments of over 60 labor activists and anarchists including Emma Goldman—the site is held in trust by the Illinois Labor History...

HPI studied the Northern Cemetery of the Staten Island Quarantine Grounds, where patients from the Marine Hospital were buried in the mid-nineteenth century.  The stories of immigrant inmates and caregivers at the facility provide a glimpse of the desperation experienced by those confined within.  In 1858, nearby residents burned the Quarantine buildings to the ground to rid the community of "pestilence" and "miasma" associated with the hospital.  HPI disinterred intact and partial burials from...

When the archaeological community thinks of collections and collections based-research our minds frequently leap to serried ranks of boxes and the assemblages housed within them. It is less common for our minds to leap to cemeteries, yet the collections of tombstones located in them, cumulatively represent one of the largest datasets utilized by historical archaeologists.  This paper considers whether a shift in perspective is needed.  Instead of regarding cemeteries as landscapes replete with...

Unlike other presidential house museums, Montpelier did not inherit a large collection of objects with clear Madison provenance. However, archaeology has been instrumental to reconstructing Montpelier’s story and is one of the only ways for us to know what objects were in the homes of the Madisons and their enslaved laborers. The Montpelier Foundation is currently in a rather unique position: not only are artifacts being unearthed daily, we also have the budget to actively seek out and acquire...

The ideal child of the 19th century was seen and not heard, and today the lives of these children are often overlooked in the documentation of the past. They did, however, have a lasting impact on their surroundings in the American West.  Recent excavations of a surgeon’s quarters at Fort Boise reveal insights into some of the earliest evidence of play in the state of Idaho. Artifacts unearthed from below the home's porch include toys and educational materials dating to the turn of the twentieth...

What assumptions underlie archaeologists’ interpretive strategies for the public dissemination of research results? Could we be more effective at descendant collaboration and public outreach by applying best practices drawn from related disciplines such as museum studies, oral history, and historic preservation? Perhaps it is time to rethink our choices of media, language, web platform, content, and target audience in response to descendant requests and public commentary.  This paper presents...

This paper will be written from the perspective of the ten years that passed between the 2004 Deep Gulf Wrecks study and the 2014 BOEM study of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill impacts on shipwrecks. What was innovative and unexpected in 2004 has now become expected in 2014. Dr. Dennis Aig, who headed the video unit in 2004, will discuss the basic protocols, now-primitive video equipment, and improvisation involved in the 2004 project to study the wrecks as examples of developing artificial...
