Historic Sites and Possible Worlds: Narrative-Building at Two Sites of African American History (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia G Markert.

Kate Gregory and Andrea Witcomb refer to the narratives of place and history that are created when people visit heritage sites as "possible worlds" – the mental and physical spaces where history is then grappled with, conceptualized, and understood.  This paper considers two sites of African American history where archaeology has been conducted over the past five years, Timbuctoo, NJ and the Sellman Tenant House at SERC in Edgewater, MD, and explores the way narratives around these historic...

Historical Archaeology as Ghost Hunting (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only April Beisaw.

Archaeological sites can be haunted by past peoples if we convey the stories necessary to presence them; no paranormal powers required. The magic of a ghost story lies in its ability to conjure the emotions of the listener. Many ghost stories are warnings of things that happened, and might happen again. Telling the tale provides listeners with worse-case scenarios and vague instructions on how to avoid a similar fate. Historic sites that contain standing ruins are ripe for such tales because...

Historical Archaeology in Transportation Projects in Arizona (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sara C. Ferland.

Transportation projects come with a unique set of challenges; including the limitation of fieldwork to the right-of-way, the potential for a project to bisect entire landscapes, and sometimes the fact that the road itself is a resource. This paper will provide an overview of the types of historical resources and issues that are encountered during transportation-related projects in Arizona, and examples of how we address them.

Historical Archaeology: A Half Century Critique (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Schuyler.

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. Historical Archaeology had a slow and difficult birth across three decades. Even as late as 1967, the foundation year for the SHA, many archaeologists dismissed the field and opposed its establishment. The basic critique was "why excavate if you are dealing with documented history?" Fifty years later Historical Archaeology is...
