Railroads, roads, canals, and utility lines are becoming an increasingly common type of historical site in Arizona.  Such components of historical infrastructure are important because of their role in the settlement and development of the state. However, project-based archaeological survey often results in these sites being recorded in piecemeal fashion, and their significance evaluated by segments within a given project area rather than the resource as a whole. This session will focus on...

The numerous photographs of Nate Harrison by visitors to his Palomar Mountain property are an undeniable part of his continuing legacy. There are 32 different images, making Harrison the most photographed 19th-century San Diegan. This was a remarkable feat considering that he lived so far from the urban center of the city. Photography and photographs have long been a cornerstone of substantiating historical existence and constructing knowledge about the past. This paper discusses the social,...

The USS Castine was emblematic of the New Navy’s transformation from wood to steel vessels in the late nineteenth century, and of the evolving use of a vessel over time.  During a 29-year service career spanning the Spanish American War and World War I, the unheralded gunboat proved to be an indispensable workhorse as a blockader, coastal combat vessel, training ship, submarine tender, U-boat chaser, and globetrotting reminder of the long reach of American naval power.  Following the end of its...

Plantations in Grand Bay in southeastern Dominica have been venues for periodic episodes of resistance and rebellion, most recently in 1974, which were recorded in colonial archives because of the reporting and investigating of these events. While in this venue the perspective provided by the archive lends itself to the reporting of a series of events, archaeology at plantations in Grand Bay is more amenable to the study of long term processes such as the manipulation of space as a means of...

The American drive-in movie theater played a valuable role in the entertainment of the country during the mid to late twentieth century. During its heyday in the 1950s, the drive-in theater was a primary family recreation locale. Convenience was key; families could wear anything; they could eat, drink, or smoke in their cars; and there was always a place to park. Many drive-ins installed play areas, picnic areas, and concession stands. Some theaters even offered miniature golf courses, driving...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. To test the validity of portable X-Ray Fluorescence (PXRF) for chert sourcing, thirty-two chert artifacts from the Waterloo Regional Museum in southern Ontario were compared to chert source samples. The use of PXRF in archaeology has raised questions about the method’s validity. The portable versions of XRF have lower energy outputs which in turn produces...

During the relocation of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows building in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2008-09, six old railroad rails were removed from the west side of the building. These rails had been used to prevent cars from hitting utility boxes and other fixtures located along the building. The rails had been placed vertically in the ground with the flat bottom of the rail facing out. Each location where the rails were used consisted of two rails on either side of the fixture and...

During the Seven Years' War, the British and French vied for control over the Champlain Valley and its influential waterway. In an incredible feat of ship construction, in 1759, the sloop Boscawen and its brig counterpart, Duke of Cumberland, were built and launched in less than two months. Boscawen was utilized throughout the remainder of the war and served as a warship and transport vessel. At the end of its career, the sloop was abandoned and later sank in the shallow waters of the...

The discovery of Sir John Franklin's lost ship HMS Erebus by Parks Canada’s Underwater Archaeology Team and its partners in September 2014 promises long-waited answers to the great mystery of the Franklin expedition. The initial archaeological studies of the site in 2014-2015 clearly demonstrate a great potential for in-context, intact artifact group discoveries. This paper describes the artifacts raised so far and some others yet to be mapped and raised, in an effort to demonstrate the enormous...

In conjunction with a structural assessment of Drayton Hall’s iconic two-story portico in the spring of 2012, archaeological investigations were conducted adjacent to the foundations of the portico. These test units were of particular interest as they revealed the conditions and extent of the spread footers at the base of the square piers and walls that support the portico above. The excavations also exposed various construction techniques used in the brick masonry walls and columns which are...

Robert Davidson built Holly Bend (sometimes called Hollywood in the 20th century) between 1795 and 1800 on 420 acres that his father, Major John Davidson (early settler and Revolutionary War participant from Mecklenburg County), gave him in 1795. The house, which was built in a bend of the Catawba River and is reputed to have been named for the holly trees that grow in great abundance in the area, was completed before Robert married Margaret Osborne on January 1, 1801. Robert Davidson,...

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. WWII was a time of significant cultural upheaval in the United States. America’s participation in the war produced substantial changes to gender roles, consumer behavior, advertising, labor, children’s activities, and entertainment, and saw a swell in expressions of nationalism and patriotism. By analyzing a collection of WWII-era artifacts that includes...
