Improving Their Lot: Cultivating Communities & Landscape Change in Maine, 1760-1820 (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Frontier landscapes are often portrayed either as ripe for settlement and replete with resources, or as dangerous, harsh peripheries that pioneers adapted to. Given factors like harsh winters and warfare, the latter portrayal dominates narratives of the Eastern Frontier during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. To interrogate notions of a largely intractable frontier...

"…in a few years by death and removes they were all gone…": Forced Relocation as Racial Violence (2016)
Indigenous dispossession and forced relocation remain central features of historical narratives, as they are used to explain the seemingly "natural" cultural loss and subsequent disappearance of Native peoples. However, these occurrences are less frequently remembered as acts of violence that supported privilege and cultural hegemony. In this paper, documentary and archaeological evidence are used to highlight instances of indigenous removals on eastern Long Island in the post-contact era, and...
"In a New York State of Mind: Developing Stoneware Traditions in Virginia from Richmond to the Upper Shenandoah Valley" by Kurt C. Russ (2016)
From urban centers like Richmond to backcountry markets in the upper Shenandoah Valley, developing Virginia stoneware manufacturing traditions were strongly influenced by New York and New Jersey production. The migration of potters rooted in this early transplanted Germanic stoneware tradition -- many sought out by Virginia businessmen and entrepreneurs beginning in the last decade of the eighteenth century – resulted in regional styles and variation in production in Virginia reflective of...
"…in a shanty I have constructed of planks, logs, and sand:" Final Interpretations for the "Peace-ful" Investigations of Temporary Civil War Barracks at Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site (2016)
Constructed in 1862 over the ruins of the Colonial port of Brunswick, Fort Anderson was part of the Confederate coastal defense network designed to protect Wilmington, North Carolina. Early archaeological work in the 1950s documented the presence of Civil War-era chimney falls comprised of recycled colonial bricks and ballast stones in an undeveloped, wooded area of the public historic site. Archaeological investigations undertaken within this area by the 2009 and 2011 William Peace University...

In Aguayo's Steps: From Thatched Jacals to Adobe Walls and Beyond--Archaeological Investigations at the 1722 site of the Presidio San Antonio de Bexar (2018)
From 2013 to 2014, the City of San Antonio hired CAR, UTSA to conduct archaeological monitoring and test excavations at the site of the 1722 Presidio San Antonio de Bexar, also known in the 19th and 20th centuries as the Plaza de Armas. The presidio represents one of the founding triad of mission, presidio and villa in what is modern day San Antonio. The 300th Anniversary of the founding of the City of San Antonio is being celebrated in 2018, and the discovery of archaeological deposits...
In Appreciation Of Marley Brown (2015)
I first met Marley Brown in 1973 when he was both a PhD candidate at Brown University and an Assistant Professor – a dual status that reflected his role in the early development of Historical Archaeology. As both a student of the young field and one of its early leaders, Marley had a unique place in the growth of Historical Archaeology in New England. Marley would go on to be an inspiration, mentor, critic, collaborator and friend. Anyone who has worked with Marley knows that he could be all of...
In Awe Of Death: A Comparative Analysis Of Glass Viewing Windows In American Caskets and Coffins (2017)
A comparative analysis of glass viewing windows present within interments during the Victorian Era and into the early twentieth century provides a unique perspective on the socioeconomic status of black and white communities throughout this time period, as well as an interpretation of assumptions made as to which individuals purchased these adornments for their dearly departed. This study examines Freedman’s Cemetery in Dallas, Texas, as well as seventy-nine other historic black and white...

In Every Grain of Sand, There is a Story: The story of Ada K. Damon as a Case Study in Fostering Maritime Archaeological Heritage and Education in Massachusetts. (2017)
In 2015, SEAMAHP and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources (MBUAR) partnered with Salem State University, National Park Service (NPS), the Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS) and the PAST Foundation to offer a field school that examined the life and death of Ada K. Damon – a 19th century schooner that has been landmark on the shoreline for over 100 years. This pilot program successfully raised enough awareness and interest that Salem State University requested a second...
In Hot Water: Climate Change and Underwater Archaeology (2016)
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. To date, however, archaeologists are still developing their relevancy and role in informing climate change research, management strategies, and understanding. Coastal and underwater archaeological research has significant potential to offer insights into past human adaptations to climate change, and to provide an anthropogenic lens through which the history of climate change might be viewed. In addition to providing historical...
In Memoriam: Challenges in Historic Burial Ground Conservation (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Gravestones and monuments from settler burial grounds penetrate the North American landscape; early cemeteries function as historic resources in a myriad of ways, serving as records of ancestry, vernacular art, sociocultural and religious sentiments, and demography. Despite public interest in these sites, most struggle to preserve, maintain, and rehabilitate their spaces and markers....
In Pursuit of Eighteenth-Century Urban Landscapes in the "Old North State:" A Summary and Common Themes of 50+ Years of Urban Archaeology in North Carolina’s Colonial Country-politan Port Towns (2018)
Given their historically modest size and meager populations, one could hardly consider the colonial port towns of North Carolina "urban" by period standards when compared to contemporary Philadelphia or Charleston. Largely due to unique coastal geography, the culturally rural character, and comparatively late development of North Carolina during the colonial era, smaller towns shared common characteristics of design and development that fulfilled regional needs as developed centers, where...

In Search of a 17th-Century Iberian Work Horse (2013)
The coastal stretches along Portugal's Algarve are historically notorious for storms in which vessels were lost during return voyages from southern destinations. Archival documents have revealed that an Iberian work vessel, perhaps a little-known but ubiquitous ship type from the Age of Exploration known as the patacho, was wrecked during a storm in the Bay of Martinhal in 1608. As the construction and operation of this particular ship type is virtually unknown, a research project was designed...
In Search of Agrarian Women in the Material Culture of the Post-bellum Sandhills (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Although World War I proved a boon for the suffrage movement, it resulted in the displacement of the agrarian communities of South Carolina’s Sandhills. Beginning in 1917, war preparations centered on the construction of Fort Jackson just outside of Columbia. As the Fort expanded, agrarian families across the Sandhills resisted development. This paper delves into the world of the...
In Search of Freedom: Investigating 19th Century African American Settlement Development in Southern Indiana (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Silenced Lifeways:The Archaeology of Free African-American Communities in the Indiana and Illinois Borderlands" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the early 19th century, free African Americans began moving from North Carolina to Orange County, Indiana, developing a small farming community in Southeast Township. This community, known today as the Lick Creek African American Settlement, thrived for several...
In Search of La Garita: The Archaeological Discovery of the Spanish Colonial Watch Tower and Powder House (2018)
The location of the Spanish Colonial Watch Tower and Powder House, built between 1808-1809, has been confirmed in San Antonio. These structures represented a significant military post that was, through its span of use, occupied by the militaries of Spain, The Republic of Mexico, The Republic of Texas, The United States, and The Confederate States of America. The long use of the structures ended in the late 19th century when the buildings were demolished and their locations were lost. The City of...
In Search Of....The Lost Kilns Of St. Elizabeths Hospital (2016)
St. Elizabeths Hospital was championed by Dorthea Dix during the 1840s-50s as a model hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill. Starting in 2005, Stantec has conducted archaeological investigations at the Department of Homeland Security’s new home on the Hospital’s West Campus. One of the persistent questions we are asked is: "Where were the kilns?" Annual progress reports to Congress mention the presence of "kilns" but give no clue as to their number, location, or nature. Various field...
In Sickness And In Health: Well-being Of Enslaved Laborers At The Hermitage Plantation (2018)
Prior to the nineteenth century, the practice of medicine was as much an art as it was a science in the Western world. By the antebellum period, European, African, African American, and Native American medical theory and practices intermingled on Southern plantations because of centuries of interaction. This study of the material culture of health and well-being at the Hermitage highlights the extent to which consumption, cultural beliefs, and incipient scientific discourse intersected to shape...
In Situ Digital Documentation of the 1559 Emanuel Point Shipwrecks (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Technology in Terrestrial and Underwater Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since 1996, University of West Florida (UWF) archaeologists have documented the vessels associated with Tristán de Luna y Arellano’s 1559 colonization fleet through standard survey methods. In recent years, with the relative low cost of underwater digital cameras, UWF documentation methods have evolved to include photographs and...
In situ Site Stabilization of HMS Fowey (2015)
HMS Fowey, located in Biscayne National Park, was uncovered and surveyed by the National Park Service (NPS) in 2013, after being damaged by Tropical Storm Sandy in 2012. The objective of the project was to record its current condition and surrounding environment, and to develop an in situ stabilization plan. Geological, geophysical, and oceanographic data were collected at the site and processed by NPS and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). These data, along with archaeological site information...
