Virginia’s archaeological site inventory contains detailed information on nearly 43,000 sites in datasets maintained by the Department of Historic Resources (State Historic Preservation Office). At times, responsibility to protect sensitive sites from looting and vandalism seems to run counter to providing information to the public about Virginia’s archaeology. But the two are not mutually exclusive. This paper will explore Virginia’s historical approach to archaeological data dissemination with...

Strontium isotope analyses have become a vibrant frontier for historic cemetery research in the United States. Isotopic analyses can make vital contributions to our understanding of the past, particularly in the categories of demographics, temporal refinements, and individual identifications. This analytical method can be understood as a catalyst for research- similar to a catalyst in a chemical reaction. When utilized in combination with multiple lines of evidence, strontium analyses become a...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in the Indian Ocean" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. What do we know of early modern colonial urbanisms in South Asia? Archival sources provide meta-narratives of the “rise and fall” of colonial outposts. This paper revisits these histories and the heritage management practices they engender.   In Velha Goa, the former capital of the Portuguese eastern empire, the story of the city’s...

The nineteenth century history of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head/Aquinnah is a snapshot of continuous Native American presence on Martha’s Vineyard over thousands of years. Residents were placed under state guardians in 1781. Between 1863 and 1878, communal lands were subdivided and distributed among tribal families, and a census of tribal members and professional survey of existing homesteads was completed. Aquinnah ceased to be an Indian reservation with town incorporation in 1870,...

Archaeologists have often eschewed technology as too expensive or superfluous for public outreach efforts. How can we as professionals overcome these long-held ideas and start to bring our projects into the digital age? This paper attempts to answer this question by examining how affordable cutting-edge technology can enhance public interpretation of archaeological resources. Augmented reality and 3D modeling were used in conjunction to visualize long-gone historical structures within the modern...

The Bight of Benin region is well known as a locale filled with poignant places associated with the trans-Atlantic trade in enslaved individuals. This paper follows recent efforts in the region aimed at writing landscape features into deeper historic narratives and exploring them in terms of broader political and economic processes.  In so doing, it pushes beyond coastal points of loss and into dynamic cosmopolitan interior places.  It argues that the historical and archaeological arc of...

In this paper, we present the results of archaeobotanical analysis from the Cane River Site in Yancey County, NC. Thirty-three samples were collected during the 2013-2014 field season from features associated with different spatial contexts such as household architecture and palisades. Our results show that corn, beans, and squash are ubiquitous in the assemblage, indicating that Cane River has unexpectedly high amounts of domesticates given its higher elevation and lack of lowland floodplains....

Archaeogaming, the study of the intersection of archaeology in (and of) video games), explores a unique class of ordinary artifacts that effortlessly occupy both real and virtual worlds. This presentation explains archaeogaming's many branches while providing a new way of discussing digital games, dismissing their appearance as simply media objects, treating them instead as both archaeological artifact and site created by both hardware and software into vehicles of iconoclasm. As archaeologists,...

This is an abstract from the "The Public and Our Communities: How to Present Engaging Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeogaming is multidisplinary approach to understanding the intersection between archaeology and video games. Our work in this field has been directed towards using it to create a new avenue for reaching out to the public. As part of this new avenue, archaeogaming provides an opportunity to reach different groups...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Reinterpreting New England’s Past For the Future" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Myles Standish House Site in Duxbury, Massachusetts, is familiar to most historcial archaeologists through James Deetz’s 1977 publication In Small Things Forgotten. In it, Deetz highlighted the 1635 foundation ruins as the earliest systematic excavation of a post-contact period site in the United States and an important...

In its letter to Johnny C. Johnson, Inc. the Archaeology Branch identified this property as a high probability locale due to its apparent proximity to a first rank stream indicated on the 15 minute series USGS topo quad for Burgaw . Upon arrival in the field, however, it was immediately obvious that this locale was of a very low order of site location probability. The first rank stream was not a stream at all but a low swampy area that had been ditched for drainage . Examination of the soil...

On May 14 and 15, 1982 an archaeological reconnaissance was conducted at the Otter Creek subdivision located approximately two miles north of Carolina Beach in New Hanover County, North Carolina. One archaeological site was located in this reconnaissance. The boundaries of the site were defined and a determination was made that the site warrants at least additional testing to determine its research potential. The archaeological reconnaissance was conducted by Dr. Thomas Loftfield; historical...

The project area is indeed a high bluff overlooking a branch of Washington Creek . The ground is dry and the soil profile typical of old farmland, i.e . it contains a well plowed anthropic A horizon with a clearly delineated subsoil beneath. The majority of the project area fell into this category . The remaining peripheral zone was flooded, but was an extremely steep bank descending to the creek . Occupation on the bank would have been precarious and so it was considered a low priority area....

In October, 1986, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington conducted an archaeological reconnaissance on approximately 42 acres of a tract proposed for use as a borrow pit in Columbus County, North Carolina (see map). Dr. Thomas C. Loftfield was principal investigator, James Legg and Martin Maestas served as field crew. Approximately 80% of the high ground in the project area consisted of plowed fields. While visibility in most field areas was about 50%, a pattern of 10 foot wide lanes had...

On the 29, 30, and 31 of January and l, 2, and 3 of February 1983, CZR, Incorporated, conducted an archaeological survey of a 485-acre site to be used for land application of treated waste water from the town of Ahoskie, North Carolina. The purpose of the survey was to assess cultural resources occurring on the site which may be impacted by the proposed expansion An estimated 85 percent of the project area was actually examined during the survey. The survey methodology consisted of...

This project. involving a contract between the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and Coastal Zone Resource Corporation. was designed to locate and investigate any cultural remains which may have been located within a corridor 400 feet wide centered on the existing Catfish Lake Road right of way. The road will be widened and paved, and Federal Highway Administration guidelines require that such an evaluation be performed. Sites located were to be evaluated for potential of nomination to...
