Tides And Times: Highs And Lows Of The Waterfront Wharf At Brunswick Town (2016)
The waterfront area of Brunswick Town, a small but important transatlantic port on the Cape Fear River, was a major shipping and commercial center for southeastern North Carolina. The major export of tar, pitch, and turpentine to British controlled areas helped established this town for naval supplies. In his original investigations of Brunswick Town, Stanley South noted ballast stone piles in the river that might be evidence of up to five colonial wharves. At one of these locations, river front...
Tides of Celadon: Glaze Developments in the Edgefield Pottery District, SC (2015)
Large alkaline glaze stoneware vessels from the Edgefield District of South Carolina have long been studied by ceramic historians and collectors. Manufactured by enslaved laborers in the antebellum period, these vessels were sold throughout the South. Historians and collectors have speculated that a lighter green glaze, called celadon, was manufactured earlier than a darker green-brown glaze. This assertion has not been tested systematically using available archaeological evidence. Excavations...

"The Time Has Come," the Walrus Said, "To Talk of Many Things: Of Shoes and Ships - and Sealing Wax - of Cabbages and Kings" and Twenty-five Years of the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery Project. (2017)
This paper provides a retrospective look at the political, regulatory, methodological, and ethical conundrums that characterize ongoing research that emerged from an archeological recovery contract completed in 1992. Today, the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (MCPFC) project has developed into a multifaceted research initiative focused on one of the largest systematically excavated and permanently curated collections of osteological and material culture remains in the United States. Since...

Implemented by Wayne State University archaeology student volunteers and faculty, this portable learning program is run as part of the Unearthing Detroit Project which focuses upon collections-based research and public archaeology in Detroit, MI. Time Jumpers integrates hands-on activities, artifact interpretation, and...
Time Pieces: The Use of Historic Maps in Transportation Archaeology (2018)
Landscapes can possess historical values coming from the full range of human history. Because the recognition and definition of archaeological resources is broad and not always well understood, identification and evaluation of such resources at the Phase I level must be made carefully, especially under the contexts of Section 106 compliance. The use of a variety of historic cartographic sources has proven extremely valuable in identifying, defining, and assessing these cultural resources. While...

Time Travel, Trebuchets, and Atlatls (2009)
J. Whittaker: Teaching archaeology hands-on. Claims student experiment demonstrated that javelin technique more appropriate analogy to atlatl than baseball throw. Experienced javelin throwers did better at accuracy and distance with atlatls than range of others. [Not enough details given to evaluate this experiment.]
Time-Geography in the Texas Frontier: Exploring The Topology of Difference at Fort Davis (2017)
Social life in the Fort Davis community was cleaved along ethnic, racial and gendered differences, which were reinforced in the forts architectural layout. The scale of interaction along these social fault lines has been studied in many ways, but the role of the topography in structuring interaction at the fort has not been fully explored. Rather than taking the spatial configuration at Fort Davis as a natural fact, we develop a deep particularism, to determine how entrained geology conditions...
Tlithlow Station: Puget’s Sound Agricultural Company and the Aftermath of the Oregon Boundary Dispute (2016)
Recent archaeological investigations at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in western Washington state have confirmed the location of Tlithlow (site 45PI492), a Puget’s Sound Agricultural Company (PSAC) outstation that operated between circa 1847 and 1858. As a subsidiary of the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), the PSAC supplied agricultural products to HBC posts and promoted British settlement of territory that was jointly occupied by Great Britain and the United States until 1846. After the boundary...
"To Advance Learning and Perpetuate it to Posterity": New Narratives from the Harvard Yard Archaeological Collections (2016)
Several systematic excavations have been carried out in Harvard Yard since the late 1970s, focusing on different locations, including the Old College, Holden Chapel, and, most recently, the Indian College. These projects have produced significant collections that exist in a variety of forms and conditions. Despite challenges, with attention, these finds can provide a rich, robust data set. New perspectives and analyses are enhancing our understandings of life at the college as it transitioned...
To Animate the Monster: Public Archaeology of Capitalism (2016)
Metaphors connecting capitalism and the phantasmagorical have always been rampant. References to the ghostly and ghastly point to the contradiction that capitalism is equally pervasive and invisible or, at least, elided. While all aspects of the monstrous have become important narrative tropes in the modern world, we seldom use this same discourse to name capitalism as a monstrous system. And yet, the ghosts are restless; capitalism as a system has created a ‘nightmare world’ where the products...
To be, Rather Than to Seem: Comparative Colonialism and the Idea of the Old North State. (2015)
North Carolina has often been described as "a vale of humility between two mountains of conceit" a sentiment also reflected in the official state motto "to be rather than to seem." The idea that North Carolina was markedly different from either of its colonial neighbors has been almost universally accepted. The contrast has been forwarded by North Carolinians for generations, from historians to presidential candidates. For example, the often cited lack of a deep-water port has been used to...
"To Drain This Country": Historical Archeology And The Demands Of The War For Independence In The Route 301 Corridor (2016)
The Upper Delmarva Peninsula was a region on the periphery of military activity during the American Revolution. For a short time in 1777 the area witnessed some troop movements and experienced the effects of invasion and war. The longer lasting impact on the region was the constant need for foodstuffs and materiél required of the fledging American nation. With no strong logistical system, state and national governments called on their civilian population to fill the void. While the 1777...
To Give Chase Once Again. The Development of A National Park Service (NPS) Research Design In Search Of The Pirate-Slaver Guerrero In Biscayne National Park. (2018)
While the location of the engagement between HMS Nimble and Guerrero is generally known as Carysfort Reef, the historic delineation of this particular reef is not well defined, leaving the precise location of the wrecking event a mystery. Historical evidence provides insight into a possible archaeological signature of the series of mishaps immediately following the wrecking of Guerrero that may provide clues to its exact location. While previous research has focused south of Biscayne National...

To Let Sink or Swim: Evaluating Coastal Archaeological Resource Stability Through a System of Indices (2018)
Archaeological resources in the coastal zone are subjected to a variety of cultural, social, and environmental conditions that affect the resources’ stability, which can be defined in physical (e.g. structure, geophysical environment), socio-cultural (e.g. looting, vandalism), and regulatory (e.g. federal, state, and local mandates) terms. To effectively manage resources within this dynamic environment requires a holistic understanding of what drives stability (or instability) at each site. The...

To Save the Soul: Protective Marks in a Mortuary Context (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Well known within medieval churches, household items, and Pennsylvania Dutch barns, protective marks such as the hexfoil (also known as the daisy wheel or witch hex), and whorl or pinwheel can also be seen throughout the colonial world in a mortuary context. Intertwined with the iconography inscribed on gravestones from the 17th to the 19th century, these marks were brought across...
To Scuttle and Run: The Institute of Maritime History’s Search for Lord Dunmore’s Floating City of 1776 (2017)
Since 2008 the Institute for Maritime History (IMH) has supported a research project at the confluence of the St. Marys and Potomac rivers. This area is the suspected locus of Lord Dunmore’s scuttled fleet from 1776. As the last British colonial governor of Virginia, Dunmore fled the colony with a flotilla of loyalists, soldiers, and sailors. Aboard the civilian fleet, guarded by Royal Navy sloops and a frigate, Dunmore unsuccessfully attempted to restore order to an unravelling colony. After...
To the ends of the Earth: European Tablewares in El Progreso, Galápagos (1880-1904) (2017)
In 1878 Manuel J. Cobos founded a large-scale agricultural operation on the island of San Cristóbal, Galápagos. A merchant from the Ecuadorian coast, Cobos’ El Progreso operation, with 300 labourers at its peak, produced sugar, cane alcohol, leather, and a variety of other agricultural products exported to the city of Guayaquil on the Ecuadorian mainland. His home was several days sailing from Guayaquil to San Cristóbal, and 8 km uphill by oxcart or on horseback to the interior of the island....
