This is an abstract from the "Zooarchaeology, Faunal, and Foodways Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Institutions today struggle with the same questions as those in previous centuries – how should we balance nutritional requirements and budget constraints? Is the diet designed to punish, reform or rehabilitate? Should there be set minimums for the quantity and quality of  the food? This paper uses a combination of faunal analysis and...

At Reaume’s Trading Post - a late 18th-century fur trade winter camp located in Central Minnesota – the acquisition of food and the trade for pelts left a varied assemblage of faunal remains on the site. The results from the faunal analysis suggest a deep entanglement of ways and peoples in a context where members of fur trade society shared, contested and interacted around a common need: food. What kinds of meat products were consumed or sought after by the traders, voyageurs, trappers and...

Is sensory archaeology queer archaeology? This paper uses examples from the historic archaeology of confinement and enculturation to explore the potential of a sensory approach as a queer methodology. The primacy of vision has been challenged by both sensory archaeologists and queer theorists, and both acknowledge a multiplicity and fluidity of the senses. Envisioning a multi-sensorial subject allows archaeologists to approach the queerness of individual and group experience outside the confines...

Research on landscapes of colonization and colonialism has been predominantly ungendered. Feminist post-colonial theories and research have revealed the centrality of gender and sexual systems and power dynamics in the formation of landscapes of colonization and colonialism.  Colonization involves what I call external colonialism, involving invasion and territorial conquest, which was a gendered and sexual landscape process called the conquest of women by the Spanish, and involving English...

  The Hermitage archaeology program fulfilled the dreams of many, from the children enrolled in the education program and the Earthwatch volunteers to the dozens of summer archaeology interns, many who now professional archaeologists working across the country.  The archaeological research program at The Hermitage was critical to understanding the social and working lives of enslaved individuals, their interaction with the Jacksons, and The Hermitage landscape. Yet, one of the true legacies of...

Welcome to the SHA’s fifth annual Ethics Bowl! Sponsored by the APTC Student Subcommittee and supported by the RPA and SHA Ethics Committee, this event is designed to challenge students in terrestrial and underwater archaeology with case studies relevant to ethical issues that they may encounter in their careers. Teams will be scored on clarity, depth, focus, and judgment in their responses. The bowl is intended to foster good-natured competition between students from different backgrounds and...

This is an abstract from the "Military Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Given relatively little attention in the broad study of United States history, the U.S.–Dakota War of 1862 nonetheless sparked a momentous chain of events that still resonates in the state of Minnesota and beyond. One important aspect of this conflict included fortifications built by Euro-American settlers in defense of desperate Dakota attacks. One such settlers’ fort...

As a resource, the archaeological record is finite and remains largely incomplete. Within the context of Southeastern American archaeology, the incompleteness of the record can be seen in the study of shell rings. Many unidentified shell rings exist in the archaeological record, and their detection remains difficult – even with remote sensing techniques – due to the fact that many are located under heavily forested canopies. However, with the use of object-based image analysis (OBIA), such...

During the late fall of 1994 and the early spring of 1995, Phase I and Phase II archaeological surveys were conducted at Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area, Kure Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina. During the course of the background research, it was determined that control of a sizeable portion of the recreation area first described in the Scope-of-Work (150 acres ±) had reverted to the United States Army, leaving just over 100 acres to be studied. Historic properties were identified...

During October and November of 1977 the Wilmington District, USArmy Corps of Engineers sponsored a magnetometer survey of Masonboro Inlet und the northern end of Masonboro Island to isolate cultural material which might be adversely affected by inlet modification and jetty construction planned for 1978. The remote sensing survey located one anomaly, site number four on Masonboro Island and an anomaly cluster in the inlet, site number three, which were interpreted as cultural material meriting...

Jews in the 17th - 19th Centuries lived perpetual ‘others,’ their lives typified by displacement, often through forced exile or social and economic ostracization. These individuals exemplified life in the Diaspora, defining their experience in juxtaposition to the regions where they lived. They marked their identity as being members of a global Jewish community all the while assimilating to the societal norms of their temporary homelands. The archaeology of the Jewish communities in North...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1519, Hernán Cortés ordered ten of his eleven ships scuttled in response to two mutinies. Prior to the scuttling event, contemporary chroniclers, including Cortés, described stripping the vessels of all usable items such as ground...

The discovery of Culturally Modified Trees (CMTs) within an area slated for development necessitated a detailed analysis to confirm the age and association of these trees as part of the local planning process. Controversary surrounded the development and neighbors were quick to engage the local Native American communities with the goal of halting the development. At least six CMTs were identified; however, the type, size, and modification of the trees did not adhere to the typical traits of CMTs...

In 2006 the authors embarked on a multiyear project to find, define, and interpret the July 12, 1780 Battle of Huck's Defeat, or Williamson's Plantation.  At the time, the battlefield was popularly understood to be a mile from its actual location.  Through historic document research, systematic metal detecting, the application of KOCOA, and other military analyses, the battlefield and battle episodes were located and defined. That, however, was not the end of the story.  Today, the battlefield...
