Detroit's riverfront area has been a mixed industrial, commercial, and residential neighborhood since the mid 19th century.

Soiled Doves and Fighting Men: Sexually Transmitted Diseases in 19th Century Tucson, Arizona (2019)
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 1: A Focus on Cultures, Populations, and Ethnic Groups" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphillis and gonorrhea, were commonplace on the frontier in the 19th century. The spread of such diseases is often attributed to the fact that prostitution was also quite prevalent. In mid to late 19th century Tucson, Arizona, most Tucson residents accepted prostitution as an...

Soldier's Exemption: Post-War Domestic Consumption in Flagstaff, Arizona (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. With the impact of World War II and the development of Route 66, Flagstaff, Arizona grew exponentially from the 1940s to the 1960s. This growth is seen through a series of domestic artifacts collected at a home in Flagstaff’s Southside Historic District. Due to a lack of archaeological context, in this poster, we explore the items through the history of the Carrenos, a Hispanic family who...
Solving the Mystery of the Black’s India Pale Ale Bottle from the John Marsh House, Contra Costa County, California (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During excavations at the John Marsh House built in the mid-1850s several whole bottles were found in the foundation trench. Two were Hunyadi Janos bottles, but the third was an exciting find because it still retained a paper label that was mostly intact that said “Black’s India Pale Ale.” Over the next thirty years efforts to learn more about this bottle were ineffectual. However,...
Solvitur Ambulando: Geophysical Surveys at Mission San Antonio de Padua, California (2018)
A Program of multimedia geopysical survey of the entire complex of Mission San Antonio is being conducted over a multiyear period. A great deal of information has been gleaned from non-destrucrtiuve, non-intrusive research allowing achaeologists to focus more clearly on specifiuc areas of interest and provide an inventory to help land managers to preserve as much of this-well preserved archaeological site as possible. The project highlights the benefil of the results of collaboration between...
Some Aboriginal Sites on Green River, Kentucky (1916)
J. Whittaker: (Reprinted 2006 Gustav’s Library, Davenport IA) Reports on burials from "The Indian Knoll" and other sites. Most attention to antler hooks and bannerstones, interpreted tentatively as "netting needles and mesh spacers", experiment shows they work. Atlatl theory considered, but: 1) no definite evidence of atlatls in area 2) atlatl should be one-piece for strength, 3) no points associated [not true, he reports lots of points from burials, including antler point in bone] 4)...

Some experiments in the use of the atlatl (1943)

Some Highlights from the Past Two Decades of Archaeological Research in New Orleans (2024)
This is an abstract from the "*SE New Orleans and Its Environs: Historical Archaeology and Environmental Precarity" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. It has been nearly 19 years since Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed the city of New Orleans, and 14 years since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill created immeasurable damage to the Louisiana coastline. While one would be hard pressed to find much good that came from those events, recovery efforts in the...
"Some interest has been expressed in regard to the diet of the children": The Documentary and Archaeological Implications of Food at the Dorchester Industrial School for Girls. (2018)
The "flora" portion of past diets tends to be an aspect of archaeological assemblages that becomes partially inferred, rather than completely recreated. When they exist, documentary records such as purchase lists and recipes can suggest dietary preferences. Archaeologically recovered macrobotanical assemblages display a concrete portion of consumption practices, but within the constraints of showing a small percentage of plant material that only survives in certain preservation...

Somewhere Between a Savannah River Broadspear and a Model 1855 Rifle: An Archeological Legacy and Recent Research at the Site of the Harpers Ferry Armory (2016)
Harpers Ferry is fortunate to have a rich history of nearly 60 years of professional archeological endeavors. Over half of that has been under the tenure of Regional Chief Archeologist Dr. Stephen Potter. His relentless enthusiasm and support, as well as encyclopedic knowledge, were pivotal in driving new research within the park. Recently, the focus has been on the Armory site. While the Armory is best known for its history of firearm technology, the archeological investigation revealed a...
"Somewhere in No-Man’s Land": Army Camp Hanford and America’s Defense Program (2016)
For four decades, Hanford reactors produced plutonium, generating the fuel for America’s first atomic bombs. In 1950, as the Arms Race increased, the Department of Defense established Anti-Aircraft Artillery sites throughout Hanford to protect the nation’s top secret nuclear facilities. Under the Army’s command, these AAA batteries, base camps and battalion headquarters were home to the men that were "the last defense." This paper will present the historical artifacts recovered from a refuse...

Sourcing a Secret Recipe: An XRF Study of Barbadian Ceramics (2015)
During the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, enslaved African and poor white potters produced redware vessels in eastern parishes across the British Caribbean Island of Barbados. While potters predominantly catered to the burgeoning Barbadian sugar industry, they also crafted domestic vessel forms that emerged as key fixtures in local markets. Despite their economic impact, Barbadian potters are archaeologically invisible: The utilitarian wares they produced are nearly identical to...
