Making Waste Singular: The Ecological Life of Industrial Waste in Mill Creek Ravine (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Haeden E. Stewart.

This is an abstract from the "One of a Kind: Approaching the Singular Artifact and the Archaeological Imagination" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Industrialization is defined by the mass production of commodities, explicitly produced to be non-singular objects. However, as scholars such as Igor Kopytoff have argued, commodities are singularized through their unique histories of social relations. Alongside the production of commodities,...

Making Whiteness: White Creole Masculinity at the 18th-Cenutry Little Bay Plantation, Montserrat, West Indies (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Striebel MacLean.

At the close of the 18th century, a planter’s dwelling overlooking the Caribbean Sea on the northwest coast of Montserrat was destroyed by fire, and never reoccupied. Archaeological excavations yielded an intimate portrait of the domesticity of British Empire materialized in fragments of everyday life. Ownership of Little Bay Plantation transferred through three generations of unmarried male relations, one of who inhabited the dwelling at its burning. As a white Montserratian-born colonial, or...

Making Women: Gender, Sexuality, and Class at an Early Twentieth Century Women’s Retreat (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan Springate.

The intimacy of guest artifacts like toiletries, cosmetics, and corset hooks from an early twentieth century privy deposit are compared with the contemporary assemblage recovered from the yard of the male caretaker of a women’s retreat located on the shores of Lake George, New York. Founded in 1903, Wiawaka Holiday House provided affordable vacations for "Girl Guests" (single women who worked in the garment factories around nearby Albany) free from the potentially corrupting presence of men....

Malleable Minds: The Importance of Flexibility in Developing Research Designs (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Brunette. Matthew Douglass. Zachary Day.

In academic and compliance archaeologies alike, a standard first step in the development of project goals is the identification of a research question. This often happens at the time a project is first proposed and the methodological and theoretical perspectives that will guide the study are thus established long before actual research begins. Here we examine the role of research questions in CRM projects through a study at the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, Oklahoma. Despite early research...

Mallows Bay, The Ghost Fleet and Beyond (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Susan Langley.

The remains of nearly 100 WWl-era wooden steamships fill the waters of a half-mile wide embayment on the Potomac River and downstream singly and in clusters. The maritime cultural landscape exhibits many other elements related to the original placement of the vessels in the bay, shipbreaking efforts during the Depression, and renewed scrapping endeavors during WWII. In 2014, the State of Maryland created the Mallows Bay-Widewater Historical and Archaeological National Register District that...

A Mammoth Question: Can We Count the First Floridians Among the First Americans? (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Morgan F. Smith.

In 1973, a small team of archaeologists and students made a startling announcement concerning the Guest Mammoth site, in Central Florida. Underwater excavations on the site in the Silver River yielded the remains of three Columbian Mammoths in direct association with lithic artifacts. Two of the bones bore cutmarks. The prevailing Clovis-first paradigm, inaccurate radiocarbon dates obtained from unpurified mammoth bone collagen, and the novelty of an underwater prehistoric site all led to...

A Mammoth Undertaking (1994)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Errett Callahan. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: “The Ginsburg experiment” – butchering circus elephant with Stanford, Bonnichsen, Morlan, G. Haynes in 1978. Focus here on spear tests to examine hafting and basal ends of Clovis points. A few hand throws – penetration only to point hafting. Most throws with simple stick atlatl, unweighted – penetration half depth of chest cavity. Concludes atlatl necessary to kill elephant with Clovis weaponry. Variety of points and haftings tried, some illustrated. Deep slot, tapered distal end...

Management and Mitigation Along the Iditarod National Historic Trail (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jenny H Blanchard.

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. Long linear resources like National Historic Trails are a challenge in terms of assessing and mitigating effects under Section 106. NHTs present an additional challenge in terms of the common disparity between the congressionally designated corridor and the physical cultural resources on the ground. This paper discusses...

Managing Digital Data at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology: Challenges and Directions (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rosemarie Blewitt. Susan Myers. Mary Beth Fitts. Lindsay Ferrante. Sam Franklin.

The North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) was created by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1973 to coordinate and implement a statewide archaeological preservation program. Central to this program is the OSA’s management of records, including those documenting the more than 50,000 archaeological sites located in the state’s 100 counties, and a library of nearly 8,000 associated reports. The OSA Research Center curates tens of thousands of artifacts and their associated records...

Managing Missteps: Complications with Marine Magnetometer Surveys and Data Interpretation (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel A Haddock.

Marine magnetometer surveys are incredibly useful for identifying buried cultural resources. Magnetometers are extremely sensitive instruments that measure anomalies within Earth’s magnetic field. Ferrous materials often associated with man-made objects create these anomalies that archaeologists can identify to potentially find historic and prehistoric sites. Due to the potentially small size of the magnetic readings, any complications in the survey can mask or mislead the interpreter. Much...

Manasota Key Offshore: A Prehistoric Cemetery in the Gulf of Mexico (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan M Duggins. Franklin H Price. Melissa R. Price. Ivor R Mollema. Neil N Puckett.

The likelihood for the existence of prehistoric sites on drowned landscapes of the continental shelf has been discussed for decades. However, the potentially devastating effects of marine transgression have sparked a debate about the types and characteristics of prehistoric sites that archaeologists expect to find offshore. The Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research recently identified a prehistoric cemetery located in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Investigations at the Manasota...

Manifest Disease: An Analysis of Pioneer and Tribal Cemeteries in Early Washington (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Micca A Metz.

This analysis examines differences in mortality between tribal and pioneer individuals living in contemporary Pierce County, near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, during the time between the declaration of the Washington Territory in 1853 and Washington entering the Union in 1889. This study will center on historic mortuary monuments with a focus on how the growing population in an area affects the health of indigenous groups as well as the health of the incoming pioneers. The mortality rates of these...

The Manifestation of Puritan Ideology at 17th-century Harvard College (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christina J. Hodge. Diana Loren. Patricia Capone.

Harvard University’s 1650 Charter dedicated the institution to the education of "English and Indian youth of this country in knowledge and godlines [sic]." For several decades, a printing press produced religious works in English and Algonquian, while a small number of Native American students were educated alongside English students at the College, intended to become Puritan ministers and convert Native New Englanders. Intermingled lives created a dynamic and hybrid colonial community that...
