This is an abstract from the session entitled "The King's Shipyard Surveys, 2019: Submerged Cultural Heritage Near Fort Ticonderoga" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Shipwrecks are useful resources to glean information about the methods of food preparation and the diets of those who once lived on board. The 2019 survey of the King's Shipyard near Ticonderoga produced an artifact assemblage that provides data on foodstuffs as well as some personal mess...

Salted beef has been referred to by a 19th-century historian as the "food of sailors," and was the staple of the naval diet between the 16th to 18th centuries on all European vessels—nearly every shipboard account from this period mentions salted beef being eaten on board. Although also consumed on land, it was especially important at sea, where food decayed at faster rates and fresh supplies were often unavailable for long durations. This paper explores shipboard salted beef from an...

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In hopes of making Utah Territory seem more metropolitan and 'normal', the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints embarked on the construction of one of the most unique resorts in all of the United States. The Saltair Resort, opened in 1893, was located deep into the briny reaches of the Great Salt Lake. Advertised for both recreation (swimming, bathing,...

This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Salvage companies may use the guise of archaeology to excavate shipwrecks for their own profits but may not abide by archaeological methods or ethical principles. One shipwreck that was salvaged by companies was the Manila galleon Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, which wrecked in 1638 off the coast of Saipan in the Commonwealth of...

Discussion of the Spanish Colonial period in San Antonio in the last quarter of the 18th century often focuses on the decline of the missions, the lack of indigenous people in the missions and the crumbling structures.  This characterization contradicts the successful completion of some of the most significant colonial structures in San Antonio such as the church at Mission San José. This paper will begin to look at evidence from the archeological and archival records that suggest that rather...

The architectural footprint of the Nate Harrison cabin site is unlike the remains of any other structure found in San Diego County: past or present, rural or urban, ornate or ordinary.  An examination of archaeological, historical, and photographic evidence reveals how anomalous Harrison’s home structure truly was for 19th-century southern California.  While the immediate region has no architectural parallels in terms of the cabin’s size, shape, building material, orientation, and use areas...

During Fall 2013 and Spring/Summer 2014, The Mannik & Smith Group conducted a Phase I archaeological survey of approximately 4,700 acres at the Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center in Portage County, Ohio. A total of 83 loci of historic activity predating the establishment of the military base in 1940 were recorded during the survey. Among these were three sites, all located along Sand Creek near the center of the modern base, that have been identified as early 20th-century maple sugar...

Brunswick was constructed in 1792 in London as a 1,244 ton East Indiaman with 30 guns. The ship was on its sixth voyage to the Far East when it was captured by a French frigate brought into Cape Town and wrecked in 1805. NAS Project Sandalwood investigations of the shipwreck site in 1994 and 1995, followed up by University of Cape Town research in 2013 yielded information the maritime environment of the site revealing that while the metal on the shipwreck was stable, timbers were damaged by...

            The African Burial Ground National Monument is one of the  smallest units of the National Park Service. Established in 2006, this still developing institution has developed an outsized presence in new and social media; in a short time it has become the most followed unit of the National Park Service on twitter, and has found ways to use podcasts and QR codes to expand the interpretive profile of the site.  These efforts have fhelped unite a disparate series of interest groups,...

This paper illustrates how images captured by satellite remote sensing technology can be used to detect vegetation that indicates archaeological sites in West Africa. These sites are typically marked by a pattern of vegetation that differs from the surrounding landscape, including concentrations of very large trees with sociocultural and historical significance: cotton (Ceiba pentandra) and baobab (Adansonia digitata). These features are conspicuous elements of the landscape both from the ground...

In 2015, the Naval History and Heritage Command Underwater Archaeology (UA) Branch received the remains of Royal Savage, a Revolutionary War vessel which sank in Lake Champlain in 1776 following service in the Battle of Valcour Island. UA archaeologists and conservators are employing a combination of traditional methods and modern technology to document, research and preserve this important piece of U.S. Navy history. To record the more than 50 remaining timbers, UA archaeologists are utilizing...

This is an abstract from the "Developing Standard Methods, Public Interpretation, and Management Strategies on Submerged Military Archaeology Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Royal Savage served as the flagship of Benedict Arnold’s American squadron in the defense of Lake Champlain during the American Revolution. She sank during the Battle of Valcour Island in 1776, and though largely undisturbed for over 150 years, her remains were...

Miami is often presented as the poster child of sea level rise; while climate change is generally accepted as an observable fact in south Florida, elsewhere this issue is regarded as too politically charged for frequent discussion. This renders sensitive archaeological sites vulnerable to coastal erosion, storm surge, and other factors. The Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS) Florida program is designed to raise awareness of how these factors will impact...

Free African-Americans established Oberlin Village outside Raleigh, North Carolina in 1866 at the end of the Civil War. Within two generations, the people of Oberlin had constructed churches, a school, a cemetery, shops, and many homes. Today, Oberlin continues to be an important site for African-American history and identity. For example, Oberlin Cemetery (established 1873) is one of only four African-American cemeteries in Raleigh. The cemetery’s more than 600 graves include many leading...

This is an abstract from the "Technology and Public Outreach" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. African-American gardening traditions involving such features as wheels, bottle trees, mirros, and silvered statuary have been identified across the United States.  What are not always included in analyses of these gardens are the significance of flowers and other plantings or the changes within a garden over time.  Together, terrestrial LiDAR and...

Sesquicentennial State Park, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and opened to the public in 1940, contains multiple archaeological sites representing both precontact and historic occupations. Current archaeological excavations are focused on investigating the history of nineteenth and twentieth century African American communities which were...

Recent research on early 19th-century slave households at James Madison’s Montpelier in Virginia has focused on comparative household assemblage analysis on a number of levels including the local (between households within a single community), region (households within a market region), and the Atlantic (comparison of households between Jamaica and the Chesapeake).  An important element in this comparative household analysis is scalar analysis.  Scalar analysis is an analytical tool that allows...
