Practicing Community Archaeology in Shaker Heights, OH (2018)
For three summers, the Shaker Historical Society has been sponsoring a community-based archaeology experience primarily geared for elementary and middle-school aged children. Excavations at two local historical sites have helped to teach these students about their local history, and the importance of archaeology and preservation in their own communities. In this paper we highlight the work we have done, and the outcomes for our students and the larger preservation work it generated in the...

Prayer for Relief: Archeological Excavations within a Portion of the Columbian Harmony Cemetery (Site 51NE049), Washington, D.C. (2016)
The Columbian Harmony Cemetery was established in the mid-19th century to serve the District’s African American community and continued in use until 1960 when approximately 37,000 burials were exhumed and remains were re-interred in the National Harmony Memorial Park in Landover, Maryland. However, the burial removal process at Columbian Harmony Cemetery was not complete; not all burials were exhumed and re-interred. Headstones and other cemetery monuments, entire coffins, coffin fragments and...
Pre- and Post-Katrina Excavations of Charity Hospital Cemeteries: A Window into the Structural Violence of Mid-19th to Early 20th Century New Orleans (2018)
Charity Hospital, established in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1736, was one of the longest running public hospitals in the United States, finally closing its doors in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. During the period from 1847 through 1929, two cemetery sites—one located on Canal Street and one on Canal Boulevard—were used for the interment of many indigents treated at the hospital. Excavations of these sites, most of which occurred after Hurricane Katrina and some directly as a result of the...
Precontact and Historic Archaeology for the Seabed Remediation of Esquimalt Harbour, Esquimalt, BC. (2016)
Archaeological investigations of the seabed within Esquimalt Harbour and in advance of extensive seabed remediation have revealed archaeological evidence of human activity over millennia. Testing methodologies have included testing between the upper inter-tidal area and the subtidal areas to about 10 m water depth. Evidence of precontact use on landsurfaces that may have been exposed 7,000 years previously have included fragments of basketry. The port has been well known for the last 150...
Prediction of Human Remains Distribution within WWII Bombardment Aircraft Crash Sites (2017)
Examination of eight WWII bombardment aircraft loss incidents previously resolved by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has allowed for the creation of a model that predicts where human remains can be expected to be recovered from within a crash scene based upon each crew member’s duty station. This paper details where each individual was found in relation to the aircraft wreckage at the crash sites, including those criteria for a case to be included in the model and how hypotheses...

Prehistoric Archaeology Underwater: Lessons from Hunting Caribou Hunters beneath Lake Huron (2015)
Underwater prehistoric archaeology has begun to flourish in recent years, and archaeologists can now take stock of the unique challenges and triumphs of this sub-discipline. Evolving beyond shipwrecks, underwater research today investigates major global changes in sea level and addresses some of the most important questions in prehistory. This evolution requires a new outlook on underwater archaeology in general, as well as new tools and approaches to investigate a broader range of questions....

Prehistoric Mobility Patterns and Geochemistry of FGV Toolstones at Slocan Narrows Pithouse Village and the Upper Columbia River Area (2017)
The work of Charlotte Beck and George T. Jones dramatically advanced toolstone provenance studies from how to conduct field survey, to how to prepare samples for laboratory analysis. Building on their pioneering work, this paper details the beginning of our efforts in sourcing fine-grained volcanic (FGV) toolstones in the Upper Columbia River area of the interior Pacific Northwest. Handheld portable x-ray fluorescence (HHpXRF) instrumentation was used to non-destructively analyze the FGV...

Prehistoric Production or Enslaved Curation?: An Evaluation of the Temporal and Spatial Distributions of the Lithic Assemblage at The Hermitage. (2018)
The Hermitage assemblage is a treasure trove of 19th-century material culture. However, DAACS analyses have revealed that, in addition to hundreds of thousands of 19th century artifacts, over 23,500 fragments of lithic debitage, projectile points, and tools were unearthed from the plantation complex. This paper examines this lithic assemblage and evaluates whether its presence and distribution is the result of prehistoric Native Americans’ activities at the site or production/curation by the...
