Ground-Penetrating Radar Prospection for 17th Century Archaeological Sites (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution”: Identifying and Understanding Early Historic-Period House Sites" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Early colonial archaeological sites often exhibit low artifact densities during walkover or other early-phase field investigations. Furthermore, numerous feature classes may be present but not sampled by traditional testing strategies. These are detectable with geophysical surveys,...
Ground-truthing a Historic Database: Chequamegon Bay Archaeological Survey 2016 (2017)
In summer of 2016, the authors investigated two northern Wisconsin sites with long legacies of regional recognition as key seventeenth-century interaction locales among Native American communities and French explorers, missionaries, and traders. These historic locations, known as the Fish Creek Village and Shore’s Landing Trading Post, are significant to descendant communities, including local Ojibwe peoples and Wendat diaspora groups. In addition, the locations are some of the first...
Ground-Truthing GRP Results at A New Hampshire Burial Ground: Narrowing the Divide Between "Anomaly" and Graveshaft. (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Independent Archaeological Consulting followed up the ground-penetrating radar survey with a 100% recovery of a burial ground in Rochester, New Hampshire. The GPR survey enumerated 198 anomalies consistent with the shape and depth of burial shafts, but IAC discovered only 89 graveshafts. Non-grave anomalies ranged from gravel veins to buried stumps and rotten roots. The GPR results...

The Growing Pains and Resulting Benefits in our Transition to Mobile Data Collection (2018)
Technology has made construction monitoring and shovel probing faster, easier, and more consistent. In this paper, I’m going to demonstrate how our office evolved from paper forms, to GPS recording, to tablets and phone apps to simplify most fieldwork. The change is not without its issues, but the result is faster, cheaper, and a whole lot better.
Growing the Scorched Ground Green: Confronting the Past and Looking Towards the Future of California’s Ecology (2018)
In the last several years the topic of Native American land use and land rights has gained renewed interest in academic, political, and public discourse. This paper explores how late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century Euro-American discourse about the preservation and conservation of nature led to the creation of National Parks at the expense of the indigenous groups who inhabited it. Focusing primarily on California Indians, I examine historical, theoretical, and archaeological data...
Growing up at Coalwood: An Analysis of Children's Material Culture at Coalwood Lumber Camp (2017)
Coalwood was a cordwood lumber camp operated by Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula at the turn of the twentieth century. Workers were encouraged to live there with their families to blunt labor tension and save the costs of boarding houses and dining facilities. Many children lived in the camp; in 1910 there were at least 43 children at Coalwood. Most workers were Finnish immigrants and all but five children were either Finnish immigrants or the children of Finnish...

The Army acquired individual properties in 1938 and construction of the camp started in early 1940. Numerous farmsteads were left abandoned throughout the southern portion of...
Guerrero and Beyond: New Collaborations in the Study of the Maritime Cultural Landscape of the Upper Florida Keys (2018)
The historical and archaeological record associated with the Guerrero are but one aspect of the broader maritime activity that has taken place over time and resulted in many shipwrecks in the upper Florida Keys. The University of Miami’s underwater archaeology program was honored to be able to collaborate with both the National Park Service and NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries on the Guerrero Project and assist in the survey and search for the Guerrero and the HMS Nimble, as well as...
Guerrilla Foursquare: The appropriation of commercial location-based social networking for archaeological engagement and education (2013)
One aspect of the emerging field of digital archaeology involves the use of digital geo-technologies to create and disseminate location-based archaeological information to both academic and non-academic audiences. Although archaeological projects often lack the resources or expertise necessary to create tailor-made applications, existing services fulfilling a similar purpose can often be repurposed for archaeological projects. A specific case-study using the foursquare service will help shed...

Gulf of Mexico SCHEMA: Studying the Effects of a Major Oil Spill on Submerged Cultural Resources. Where Do We Go From Here? (2015)
As a result of this project, we better understand microbial communities' role in biofilm formation, wood degradation, and metal corrosion in the deep biosphere; however, new questions were raised. More information is needed to understand the ecosystemic role of shipwrecks and long-term impacts from oil spills. The diversity of micro- and macro- infauna and their response to environmental events indicates the suitability of shipwrecks as ecosystem monitoring platforms. Microbial response to...
Gulf of Mexico Shipwrecks, Corrosion, Hydrocarbon Exposure, Microbiology, and Archaeology (GOM-SCHEMA): Studying the Effects of a Major Oil Spill on Submerged Cultural Resources (2015)
Schema, broadly defined, is "a representative framework or plan." After the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Natural Resource Damage Assessment process began and the scientific community, along with several research consortia, flocked to the Gulf of Mexico to study the spill's impacts. In the fervor of project design, research questions, and the need to understand these impacts on various resources, shipwrecks (another potentially impacted resource) were largely ignored. Through Federal and...
Gulfoil: Ghost in the Gulf (2013)
The oil tanker Gulfoil is located in 534 meters of water. Built by New York Shipbuilding in Camden, New Jersey, Gulfoil is the first oil tanker to be built in the United States of America using British engineer Joseph Isherwood’s system of ship construction. The Isherwood system used longitudinal framing instead of traditional transverse frames making the ship stronger and lighter than previous construction methods. Sunk by German submarine U-506 in the Gulf of Mexico in 1942, the...
The Gullah Community at Harris Neck, Georgia: Contested Landscape, Contested History (2017)
A small Gullah community once existed on the northern end of Harris Neck, Georgia. This community, like their non-Gullah neighbors, was forced to move when the Department of War acquired the land in order to construct an Army airfield. Since 1979, descendants have sought the return of 2400 acres. Two descendant groups based their claims to this landscape on Margaret Harris' 1865 will, purported failure of the federal government to adequately compensate the Gullah land owners, and verbal...
Gullah-Geechee Landscapes on Ossabaw Island, Georgia (2013)
The North End Plantation on Ossabaw Island, Georgia (9CH1062) has been almost continually occupied since the 1760s. Although a large number of enslaved Africans (later Gullah-Geechee) resided there, the remains of three tabby duplexes are the only substantial remains associated with them. This paper summarizes the results of two field seasons of landscape reconstruction that were aimed at identifying the locations of additional non-tabby cabins, historic plantation roadways, and adjacent yard...
