The Impact of Humans on Shipwrecks in Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Anthony H Gilchrist.

This is an abstract from the "Reflections, Practice, and Ethics in Historical Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.             Shipwrecks are adversely affected by human activities. Some of the most common activities conducted by humans, including recreational SCUBA diving and fishing, have the potential to destroy the data and cultural integrity of these sites. Human interaction with shipwrecks requires additional research to find the...


Impact of Oyster Overharvesting in Southwest Florida by Calusa Native Americans (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica Krueger. Jon Wittig. Michael Savarese. Kylie Palmer. Antonio Arruza.

Recent research has demonstrated that overharvesting of Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) by Calusa Native Americans was severe enough during the Caloosahatchee cultural period (500 BC–AD 1500) to have influenced the population demography of the shellfishery (Savarese et al., 2016). A shift to smaller individuals without a change in oyster growth rate was documented from the Late Archaic into the Caloosahatchee when Calusa population size increased considerably in the region. Modern oyster...


The Impact of Spanish Colonialism on Florida’s Aboriginal Burials (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel K. Wentz.

Spanish colonialism impacted, transformed, and ultimately extinguished the indigenous populations of Florida. Every aspect of aboriginal culture was affected, including their mortuary practices. Body position and treatment, grave good assemblages, and method of interment were radically altered by the imposition of Catholicism on Florida natives who fell under colonial regimes. Burials associated with mission sites provide insight into the impact of Spanish colonialism on the people they...

The Impersistence of Persistent Places on the St. Johns River, Florida (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Asa Randall.

"Persistent places"—natural or terraformed locations that draw repeated human action—are unique resources for archaeologists investigating deep-time phenomena. Not only do they allow us to track social and ecological changes anchored in space, the repeated tending to such places set in motion historical path dependencies for descendent communities. However, at the human scale persistence is never a taken for granted, but is produced by the projects of communities who incorporate places into...

Improving Their Lot: Cultivating Communities & Landscape Change in Maine, 1760-1820 (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan D. Postemski.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Frontier landscapes are often portrayed either as ripe for settlement and replete with resources, or as dangerous, harsh peripheries that pioneers adapted to. Given factors like harsh winters and warfare, the latter portrayal dominates narratives of the Eastern Frontier during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. To interrogate notions of a largely intractable frontier...

"…in a few years by death and removes they were all gone…": Forced Relocation as Racial Violence (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark S. Tweedie. Allison J.M. McGovern.

Indigenous dispossession and forced relocation remain central features of historical narratives, as they are used to explain the seemingly "natural" cultural loss and subsequent disappearance of Native peoples. However, these occurrences are less frequently remembered as acts of violence that supported privilege and cultural hegemony. In this paper, documentary and archaeological evidence are used to highlight instances of indigenous removals on eastern Long Island in the post-contact era, and...


"In a New York State of Mind: Developing Stoneware Traditions in Virginia from Richmond to the Upper Shenandoah Valley" by Kurt C. Russ (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kurt Russ.

From urban centers like Richmond to backcountry markets in the upper Shenandoah Valley, developing Virginia stoneware manufacturing traditions were strongly influenced by New York and New Jersey production.  The migration of potters rooted in this early transplanted Germanic stoneware tradition -- many sought out by Virginia businessmen and entrepreneurs beginning in the last decade of the eighteenth century – resulted in regional styles and variation in production in Virginia reflective of...


"…in a shanty I have constructed of planks, logs, and sand:" Final Interpretations for the "Peace-ful" Investigations of Temporary Civil War Barracks at Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Vincent H. Melomo. Thomas E. Beaman. Jr..

Constructed in 1862 over the ruins of the Colonial port of Brunswick, Fort Anderson was part of the Confederate coastal defense network designed to protect Wilmington, North Carolina.  Early archaeological work in the 1950s documented the presence of Civil War-era chimney falls comprised of recycled colonial bricks and ballast stones in an undeveloped, wooded area of the public historic site.  Archaeological investigations undertaken within this area by the 2009 and 2011 William Peace University...

In Appreciation Of Marley Brown (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen Mrozowski.

I first met Marley Brown in 1973 when he was both a PhD candidate at Brown University and an Assistant Professor – a dual status that reflected his role in the early development of Historical Archaeology. As both a student of the young field and one of its early leaders, Marley had a unique place in the growth of Historical Archaeology in New England. Marley would go on to be an inspiration, mentor, critic, collaborator and friend. Anyone who has worked with Marley knows that he could be all of...

In Hot Water: Climate Change and Underwater Archaeology (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeneva Wright.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. To date, however, archaeologists are still developing their relevancy and role in informing climate change research, management strategies, and understanding. Coastal and underwater archaeological research has significant potential to offer insights into past human adaptations to climate change, and to provide an anthropogenic lens through which the history of climate change might be viewed. In addition to providing historical...


In Memoriam: Challenges in Historic Burial Ground Conservation (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Schofield-Mansur. Robyn S. Lacy.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Gravestones and monuments from settler burial grounds penetrate the North American landscape; early cemeteries function as historic resources in a myriad of ways, serving as records of ancestry, vernacular art, sociocultural and religious sentiments, and demography. Despite public interest in these sites, most struggle to preserve, maintain, and rehabilitate their spaces and markers....


In Pursuit of Eighteenth-Century Urban Landscapes in the "Old North State:" A Summary and Common Themes of 50+ Years of Urban Archaeology in North Carolina’s Colonial Country-politan Port Towns (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas E. Beaman. Jr..

Given their historically modest size and meager populations, one could hardly consider the colonial port towns of North Carolina "urban" by period standards when compared to contemporary Philadelphia or Charleston.  Largely due to unique coastal geography, the culturally rural character, and comparatively late development of North Carolina during the colonial era, smaller towns shared common characteristics of design and development that fulfilled regional needs as developed centers, where...

In Search of a 17th-Century Iberian Work Horse (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only George Schwarz.

The coastal stretches along Portugal's Algarve are historically notorious for storms in which vessels were lost during return voyages from southern destinations. Archival documents have revealed that an Iberian work vessel, perhaps a little-known but ubiquitous ship type from the Age of Exploration known as the patacho, was wrecked during a storm in the Bay of Martinhal in 1608. As the construction and operation of this particular ship type is virtually unknown, a research project was designed...
