"A Refuge of Cure or of Care": The Sensory Dimensions of Confinement at the Worcester State Hospital for the Insane (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Madeline Bourque Kearin.

American asylum medicine, the precursor to psychiatry, was predicated on an environmental approach to the treatment of mental illness: specifically, upon the creation of a curative environment that would rigorously organize patients’ exposure to sensory stimuli. This paper combines documentary records, evidence from surviving architecture, and geospatial renderings of the landscape in order to access those stimuli – consisting of the sights, sounds, smells, and tactile qualities of the natural...


Refugees, Resettlement, Revealed History and Commemoration of the Tutelo Diaspora (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sherene Baugher.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The history of displaced people is rarely commemorated and often part of a “silenced” history. In the late 1600s, the Tutelo Indians were driven out of their homelands in Virginia by Europeans. Their diaspora involved moving to North Carolina, then to another part of Virginia, and to refugee settlements in Pennsylvania. In 1753, the...


A Regional Approach to Submerged Naval Aircraft Studies (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Agustin J Ortiz.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the past few years Navy's approach to accounting for Navy aircraft losses has changed in order to better manage those resources. Where in the past the study and accounting of aircraft wrecks has been dealt with largely on a case by case bases, NHHC UA has now taken a more active role by conducting its own regional remote sensing surveys (the Regional Approach). Survey areas are...


Regional Maritime Networks of Bronze Age Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily K. DiBiase.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Bronze Age in the Mediterranean has been studied extensively in the past by a variety of researchers, including both historians and archaeologists, simply because it is the time during which “civilization” first develops. Maritime trade was a key element in the development of civilization. This project identifies the regional trade networks operating in the Bronze Age Eastern...


Regional Settlement Patterns in the Colonization of Historical Landscapes: the New Acadia Project Archaeological Survey (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark A Rees. Donald Bourgeois.

In 1765 more than 200 Acadian refugees settled on the natural levees along the Bayou Teche in south Louisiana. Two centuries later, the descendants of the Acadians were recognized as having created a homeland known as Acadiana. The Fausse Pointe region where the Acadian families initially settled, however, presented an unfamiliar and difficult environment in an already inhabited landscape. The New Acadia Project has systematically surveyed portions of a ten mile segment of the Teche Ridge in...


Regional Shipwreck Surveys – The Mainstay of UASBC (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jacques F. Marc.

One of the challenges for avocational U/W archaeology groups is finding an appropriate role in the professional archaeology community. The Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia (UASBC) tried its hand at many underwater archaeology activities early in its history including underwater excavations, which was exciting but proved too costly and time consuming.  The UASBC recognized early on, that in order to manage the submerged cultural resources of BC, the provincial Archaeology...


Regional Synthesis and Best Practices for the Application of Geophysics to Archaeological Projects in the Middle Atlantic Region. (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only William Chadwick. Elisabeth A. LaVigne.

As geophysical surveys become more common and a standard procedure on archeological projects within the United States, the question raised is whether or not the methods and systems being used are appropriate for the questions being asked by the principal investigators. Therefore, a compilation of geophysical methods used during archaeological investigations and their results in the Middle Atlantic region, primarily those used on transportation projects, was conducted as part of the Route 301...


Regional Variation Among Ancestral Pueblo Water Jars: A Geometric Morphometric Approach (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathleen Barvick.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pottery in the US Southwest has long been studied for the insights it provides into social identity. Differences in construction may suggest differences in conceptions of the correct way to make a ceramic vessel; when studied through the lens of practice theory, variation in form speaks to alternate communities of practice and may show boundaries in...


Regional-To-Global Trade Networks Reflected In Isolated Alaskan Gold Camps (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Robin Mills.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological excavations at a host of early-mid 20th century Alaskan mining camps over the past 25 years have provided a wealth of data on the influx of goods from local, regional, national, and international sources. This poster reviews changes in trade network patterns over time, as reflected in the archaeological record, relative to processes occurring at various scales of analysis...


Regionality and Relations to the State in the Andagua Valley, Southern Peruvian Andes (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexander Menaker.

This is an abstract from the "Itinerant Bureaucrats and Empire" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the mid-18th century, spurred by recent Bourbon reforms and claiming years of unpaid tribute, Spanish colonial officials journeyed to the town of Andagua in the high Southern Peruvian Andes. Yet upon arriving they encountered firm resistance to their regional colonial authority that coalesced around the leaders of reputed ancestor cults, nearly...

Rehabilitating America’s Forgotten Excavations: Case Studies from the Veterans Curation Program (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Patrick S Rivera.

Since the passage of historic preservation legislation in the middle of the twentieth century, the pace of mandated excavation has always exceeded the resources devoted to preservation and curation of our national heritage.  Many of the archaeological projects conducted on public land have never been properly inventoried, preserved, or publicized.  As a result, these investigations remain largely inaccessible to researchers, and they create an immense burden on repositories.  In 2009, the U.S....


Rehousing, retreating, and re-evaluation: The Ronson Ship as both a Museum Collection and an Archaeological Asset (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Hannah P. Fleming.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Ronson ship was excavated from a New York City block in 1982. A portion of the vessel and its fill contents were recovered and transferred to The Mariners’ Museum and Park, in Newport News, Virginia, for conservation and eventual display, but in 1987 conservation was suspended. Recently, renewed interest in the collection and the publication of a book on the excavation and...


Reimagining Methods in Historical Zooarchaeology: Applying the Pathological Index (PI) to Historical Assemblages in North America (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jenna K Carlson.

Since Bartosiewicz, Van Neer, and Lentacker published their ground-breaking research on the osteological identification of draught cattle, zooarchaeological studies of traction animals have proliferated.  Whereas most of these studies draw from Old World assemblages, this research applies Bartosiewicz, Van Neer, and Lentacker’s (1997) methodology for assessing draught cattle to eighteenth-century assemblages from Drayton Hall, South Carolina, and Oxon Hill Manor, Maryland.  In assessing the...


Reimagining Methods in Historical Zooarchaeology: Getting to the Meat of the Matter-Identifying Butchery Goals and Reconstructing Meat Cuts from Eighteenth Century Colonial Virginia (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Dessa E. Lightfoot.

Faunal remains from archaeological sites are only the byproduct of meals, discarded after the meat has been stripped from them.  A detailed butchery analysis is one way of thinking of bones as vehicles for meat, making it possible to link what was removed for consumption with what is found archaeologically.  Seeking to reconstruct meat cuts is another way to get at not just what species or how much people were eating, but how that meat was conceived of, prepared, and served.  Butchery analysis...


Reimagining Methods in Historical Zooarchaeology: Methods and Themes in Recent Literature (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Laura Masur.

This poster exhibits a survey of recent (2000-2015) literature on historical zooarchaeology in eastern North America. Emphasizing studies of colonialism and cultural mixture, this survey evaluates ways that historical archaeologists use zooarchaeological data to investigate topics such as human impacts on environments, economic strategies, and the expression of social identities. By focusing on trends in analytical methods and the research questions posed by archaeologists, this survey...


Reinterpreting a Nineteenth Century Dairy Agricultural Landscape (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only jean Cascardi.

Site 44FX0543, located in the western Piedmont region of Fairfax County at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, has had a long debated function by archaeologists and historians. A problematic interpretation of the site function as an enslaved African American dwelling dating to an unknown temporal period of ownership was the result of misinterpretation of landscape, previous archaeological investigations, and the likely misinformation gained through second-hand oral histories of the parkland. The research...

Reinventing the Colonial Plantation on French Saint-Christophe (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven R Pendery.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Comparative Perspectives on European Colonization in the Americas: Papers in Honor of Réginald Auger" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper examines the transformation of the plantation economy from tobacco to sugar production at sites on the island of Saint-Christophe (Saint Kitts) in the French Antilles. This shift was motivated by a drop in tobacco prices in the 1630s leading to sugar monoculture....


The Relational Landscape of Plantation Slavery: An Archaeological Survey of Enslaved Life at Good Hope Estate, Trelawny, Jamaica (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Hayden F. Bassett.

The enslaved community is often treated as a homogenous group – living, eating, dressing, buying, selling, and dwelling in the same way. This imposition of sameness fails to recognize the differential experience of enslaved laborers, and different means of agency existing within divided conditions of enslavement. This paper surveys the findings of recent archaeological investigations of the slave village of Good Hope estate, an 18th/early-19th-century sugar plantation in Trelawny, Jamaica. Home...

Religion, Memory and Materiality: Exploring the Origins and Legacies of Sectarianism in the North of Ireland (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Audrey J Horning.

The early seventeenth-century Plantation of Ulster, in which the English Crown sought to plant loyal British colonists in the north of Ireland, is commonly understood as overtly religious in intent and action, and is viewed as the foundation for today’s dichotomous divide between Protestant and Catholic communities in Northern Ireland. However, archaeological and documentary evidence complicates this straightforward narrative by demonstrating considerable cultural exchange and the emergence of...
