Test excavations conducted within modern-day Fort McCoy (US Army Installation, Wisconsin) revealed portions of historic Camp McCoy/Camp Emory Upton, two seasonal Army manuever camps occupied sporadically from 1905-1910.  Discovery of what appears to be a Company size bakery, butcher yard and supply station area, along with a period midden allows for a detailed archaeological understanding of the lives, equipment and diet of enlisted soldiers in the early "territorial" U.S Army. This site is...

In October of 1861 the camp of the 6th New York Volunteer Infantry was surprised and routed and the Battle of Santa Rosa Island ensued. Confederates destroyed the camp before being pushed off the island by regulars from nearby Fort Pickens. Research at the site was kicked off by an RPA-certified Advanced Metal Detecting for the Archaeologist training hosted by the University of West Florida, Florida Public Archaeology Network. Results expanded on the understanding of the site developed after the...

Camp Stanton was a major Civil War recruitment and training camp for the U.S. Colored Infantry, established in southern Maryland both to draw recruits from its plantations, and to pacify a region yet invested in slavery. More than a third of the nearly 9,000 African Americans recruited in Maryland during the Civil War were trained at Camp Stanton. Archaeological survey and testing resulted in the discovery of four features associated with shelters that housed recruits over the winter of...

In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, massive multi-agency infrastructure projects were undertaken along the Atlantic seaboard to repair the damage. Such projects can have a disastrous effect upon historic resources long since buried. During a large-scale seawall project in Brick Township, NJ, ship timbers, planks, fittings, fastenings, and structural elements were pried from their sites by construction equipment, moved before being stockpiled, and the hole backfilled with sand. This was prior to it...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Slow Archaeology + Fast Capitalism: Hard Lessons and Future Strategies from Urban Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Nelson Algren (1951) famously titled Chicago the "city on the make”: an urban center self-servingly and frenetically driven by its hustlers. In cities like Chicago, a similar ethos can propel construction projects, often at the expense of cultural resources and archaeological...

This is an abstract from the "*SE Big Data and Bigger Questions: Papers in Honor of David G. Anderson" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological predictive models, whether formal or informal, are commonly used on compliance-driven projects, but their efficacy is rarely tested. Too often, we assume that models are “good” or “successful” when more sites are discovered in “high-probability” than in “low-probability” zones. In Florida, state...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Camp Security is a prisoner-of-war camp established during the Revolutionary War and the only such camp to survive modern development. From July 1781 and May 1783, the camp housed 1600-1800 British POWs captured at the Battles of Saratoga and Yorktown. Efforts to locate residential areas in the complex have been ongoing sporadically since the 1970s, but the exact location of the...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Flint rock and tools (eg., gunflints, projectile points, ballast) are sometimes found during archaeological surveys. However, identification can be difficult for field archaeologists who have not studied lithic geology (Langley et al., 2016). An assortment of 100 numbered geological specimens from various sedimentary strata in Europe and America will be available for visitors to inspect...

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. Well-preserved Colonial-period house sites have been discovered in agricultural fields, beneath deep fill deposits, in urban areas, next to major roadways, and under suburban lawns. The 17th- and 18th- century house sites discussed in this paper demonstrate that early colonial...

Driven by the desire to learn, explore, and grow in the field of archaeology, those who chase this life are often left asking themselves: to CRM or not to CRM? Cultural Resource Management, specifically Phase I survey, is not what many would consider "exciting" or even "sexy".  All that in mind, I have taken on the task of building and managing a multi-state CRM program built on the foundation of telecommunications projects and Phase I surveys.  Telecom has created a unique environment that...

This paper will outline the processes and decisions that the Louisiana Division of Archaeology made to create an efficient, comprehensive GIS system that could be utilized by both professionals and the citizenry of Louisiana to help promote both progress and preservation. I will discuss how we partnered with La Department of Transportation & Development, La Governor’s Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness, the New Orleans Corp Engineers, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency...

As part of ongoing archaeological investigations of Quarter Site B at Belle Grove Plantation in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, geospatial data from various sources are being compiled and analyzed in ArcGIS. Of particular interest is the spatial relationship between the quarter site and the two main loci of white control over the plantation, the manor house and the plantation office/store. This presentation uses viewshed analysis and 3D visualization to explore visibility and lines of sight within...

The nature of the mission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers--water management, and the dams and reservoirs necessary to accomplish this mission have resulted in many familial and community cemeteries on USACE land falling under the stewardship of the Corps. The desire to settle near productive bodies of water, the time period around which these areas were being settled, and the preference to establish these cemeteries on high grounds resulted in numerous examples of the "Upland South Folk...

For thousands of years before motorized transportation, dugout canoes were the mode of water travel in interior North America. Due to their perishable nature, they are rarely found archaeologically. Most have been preserved due to being kept submerged in anaerobic conditions or buried in underwater sediments. In Arkansas, only a handful have been found, all in riverine situations. The severe flooding in northeast Arkansas in 2008 dislodged a dugout in the St. Francis River that ended up on a...
