A School for Williamsburg's Enslaved: The Bray School Archaeological Project (2013)
In 1760 the London-based philanthropy, the Associates of Dr. Bray, established a charity school for the religious education of free and enslaved African American children in Williamsburg, the eighteenth-century capitol of the Virginia colony. Known as the Bray School, the school was briefly housed in a rented dwelling adjacent to the campus of the College of William and Mary. The archaeological investigation of the suspected site of the Bray school in 2012 was a rare opportunity to materially...

The Schuyler Effect: From Brooklyn to Lowell, Utah, and Beyond (2017)
Over the past half century Robert Schulyer’s penetrating intellect and rigorous scholarship has had a deep and sustained impact on the development and maturation of the field of Historical Archaeology. His impact has been nowhere as profound as in his role as a mentor to generations of students. Not a few of those students share the common experience of having their professional career course sent careening, topsy-turvy, in unanticipated directions under the influence of Schulyer’s catholic...

Schuyler’s "Guide to Substantive and Theoretical Contributions"—Then and Now (2017)
Robert Schuyler’s Historical Archaeology: A Guide to Substantive and Theoretical Contributions was first published in 1978 and is now in its fifth printing. The Guide was the first work to gather together some of the most important founding documents of the relatively new field of historical archaeology and is still in use in undergraduate and graduate courses today. This paper will review the themes of that volume, as selected and edited by Dr. Schuyler, and will discuss how the ideas put forth...
Schwatka: The History and Engineering of a Late Nineteenth-Century Yukon River Steamboat (2015)
In the late 19th century the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon Territory created an unprecedented shipbuilding boom along the West Coast of North America. More than 131 riverboats were constructed in a single year, often with considerable design variation. This paper describes the history, unique characteristics and engineering of the well-preserved wooden hull of Schwatka, a stern wheel steamboat now lying in the terrestrial "boneyard" at West Dawson, Yukon, Canada.

Scorpion’s Last Sting: The Investigation of a War of 1812 Shipwreck in the Patuxent River, Maryland (2016)
In 2010 and 2011, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA), the Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) of the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), and the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) investigated a War of 1812 shipwreck (site 18PR226) in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The wreck, a relatively intact fully-decked vessel, is believed to have served in the Chesapeake Flotilla, a small fleet of gunboats and support craft commanded by Commodore Joshua Barney during the defense of...
Scrannying for Spidge amongst the Shipwrecks; Interviewing the Pirates of Plymouth, England. (2015)
Over the past 2 years the SHIPS Project has set out to conduct several dozen oral histories concerning divers’ recollections from the early days of scuba diving in Plymouth, UK. These oral histories were undertaken for several reasons, to better understand the layout of virgin shipwrecks when first located, to record the items recovered, which are affectionately known as ‘spidge’, and to document the human interest and lust for ‘scrannying’. What has been explored and expanded upon within the...

Scraping Our Way To The Past: A Methodological Approach For Chinese Rural Work Camps (2015)
Recovering meaningful information from ephemeral, short-term work camps in the west is challenging, given the brief occupation time, absence of shelters other than tents or portable structures, and informal layout and design. One methodological approach that has proved effective for research at camps with shallow or no subsurface deposits focuses on exposing and investigating the horizontal deposits across the sites. Archaeological studies of Chinese occupied camps related to mining, railroad...
Scratching the Surface: New Discoveries Within Old Archeological Collections (2016)
Here in the NMSC archeology lab, we are privileged to work with archeological collections from national parks across the Northeast. Many of these collections were excavated before 1987, and in many cases, sat untouched and unutilized in storage until they were eligible for cataloging funds. We have seen firsthand the incredible research potential – unknown and untapped for decades – that these collections offer. One memorable collection from Petersburg National Battlefield was excavated in...
Scratching the Surface: Using GIS to Understand Richmond Archaeology (2016)
Richmond, Virginia’s first official archaeological site record dates to 1963. In the intervening half century, the archaeological landscape has changed in physical and metaphorical ways. One important yardstick of these changes is the 1985 Richmond Metropolitan Area Archeological Survey (RMAAS), a large regional planning project conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University Archaeological Research Center. This paper explores Richmond’s archaeological landscape through a Geographical Information...

"Scurvy on the Great Plains:" Archaeology, Geophysics, and Stories of Fort Rice (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the mid-1800s, the United States Government ordered the construction of military forts across the Northern Plains. Constructed in 1864, Fort Rice become one of the first military posts in what is now the State of North Dakota. The fort was a vital military instillation through its expansion by the First US Volunteers, also known as Galvanized Yankees (where most died of...
Seadogs and Their Parrots: The Reality of Pretty Polly (2015)
Public imagination was long ago ensnared by images of swashbuckling pirates and their winged sidekicks. Exotic plumes illustrated by Howard Pyle and famous parrots such as Captain Flint have led to many misconceptions about the reality of avian pets on ships and their greater role in the seafaring community. The transportation of parrots from exotic locales into western culture provides a unique opportunity to study the seamen involved in this exchange and lends insight into how...
Seafaring Women in Confined Quarters: Living Conditions aboard Ships in 19th Century (2018)
Wives, sisters, daughters and nieces of captains lived at sea on merchant and whaling ships that sailed from New England during the 19th century. Their outer world may have expanded while voyaging to distant ports around the globe, but their physical world contracted severely. Spatial analysis of the rooms women lived in reveals the amount of space they inhabited within a ship. In 1856, Henrietta Deblois noted that she could not go forward to the fo’c’sle where the crew bunked. Seafaring women...
