First blood of the American Revolution was spilled in New York City, a place long known for its diversity and strong political opinions. Past, present, and future New Yorkers have advertised their allegiances in various forms from development and architecture to consumer choices. The advertisement of socio-political beliefs and national allegiance can be found in New York’s City Hall Park and South Street Seaport. Following the Revolution potters in both Britain and China quickly helped to...

Silk and Rifles: A Gender Analysis of Blockade Runner Cargos (2017)
This presentation examines the tension between nineteenth-century Southern gender expectations of upper-class femininity contrasted with the necessities of wartime. It will assess whether this tension is evident in the material record by analyzing the cargo of Confederate blockade runners entering the affluent ports of Wilmington and Charleston. By examining the cargo from blockade runners, as well as looking at historical records, this presentation will draw conclusions about what women wanted...
A Silk Purse from a Sow’s Ear: The History and Archeology of the Monumental Core in Washington, DC (2016)
The Monumental Core in the District of Columbia contains some of the nation’s most iconic landscapes, landmarks and memorials. The modern landscape bears little resemblance to the natural environment or the nineteenth-century city. For thousands of years, Native Americans camped along the bank of a tidal creek. After the City of Washington was established in 1790, the creek was transformed first into a canal, then a foul sewer that carried the city’s waste into the Potomac River. Areas of open...

The Simple Life: Archeological Investigations of a German Immigrant Family Compund in Austin, Texas. (2013)
This paper explores the Schneider family, German immigrants who, between 1854 and 1920, built a successful saloon, general store, and a small real-estate empire in the heart of Austin, Texas. Over a period of seventy years, they witnessed their neighborhood transition from quiet residential area, to bawdy Red Light District, and eventually become a warehouse district. In spite of the family’s growing land wealth, they lived a modest lifestyle; and they remained in their original home until the...

The Single-Use Vessel: Reuse And Recycling In The Construction Of The Cuban Chug (2017)
There is no singular theoretical model that explains the life cycle of the Cuban chug. Its creation as a single use vessel is singularly unique to boat construction. The vessel must be strong enough to withstand and ride the Florida Current, constructed of materials that are readily available to the average Cuban citizen, and be able to be transported and launched quickly to avoid detainment by Cuban authorities. Once a chug reaches the territorial waters of the United States its passengers will...
The Sinking of HMAS Sydney: Consequences and Memory (2017)
This paper will examine the sinking of HMAS Sydney in the Indian Ocean on 19 November 1941, by the German raider, SV Kormoran. All hands on the Sydney were lost, a total of 635 men, one-third of the nation’s Navy. The fate of the Sydney has always remained controversial, due to the lack of survivors. Despite numerous attempts, investigators consistently failed to trace the wreckage of either ship until 2008, when the crew of SV Geosounder located both vessels, thus closing one of the most tragic...
Sisneros and Cisneros: Place-Based Community Development Among Hispanic Homesteaders in Northeast New Mexico (2017)
In 2016 the Office of Contract Archeology surveyed 9,466 acres of private land in northeast New Mexico. The block survey included several entire homestead allotments belonging to Hispanic families between 1900 and 1940. Due to their location on private land, many of the sites are in relatively pristine condition. Analysis of the sites, architecture, and archival documents was a unique opportunity to understand how these dispersed Hispanic homesteaders relied on each other and organized into a...
Site Formation Processes of the Wreck of the U. S. Steamer Convoy in Pensacola Bay, Florida (2013)
This paper examines the site formation processes of the U. S. steamer Convoy that sank in the Pensacola Pass in March 1866 after an overturned coal-oil lamp in the engine room caused a fire that consumed ship. Not only will the paper discuss the vessel’s Civil War history but also the deliberate and opportunistic salvage operations conducted during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The research compares a recent survey of the wreck site, constructed by archaeologists from the University of...
"The Site Mama": Mothering and Mentorship as the Taproot of Community Driven Research Projects (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Women’s Work: Archaeology and Mothering" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Most every site, every crew, has their “site mama”; a lady who reminds everyone to drink water, pick up their garbage, and check for ticks. The Site Mama does the unpaid labor of keeping the crew and site well. Community oriented archaeology, which thrives only under an ethic of care, is many times formulated and dependent on this same...
Site Monitoring at Fort Eustis, Virginia (2018)
Since 2010 the Fort Eustis Cultural Resources Management staff has been conducting a program of annual site monitoring visits in which each of the more than 200 known archaeological sites on Fort Eustis is visited at least once a year. The monitoring program has provided a baseline knowledge of site conditions and regular opportunities to observe any disturbance. This paper will discuss the benefits of site monitoring at Fort Eustis, including how improved knowledge of the landscape and...
Site Stewards in Northwest New Mexico: Protecting Our Cultural Heritage via a Community-Supported Program (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In northwestern New Mexico, there are thousands of archaeological sites that span the complete cultural and temporal spectrum of human occupation in the region. Many of these cultural resources are located in remote areas and as backcountry sites, are often prey to looting and vandalism, particularly those exhibiting standing architecture and rock art. In many...
Site Study and Reconstruction of the Pillar Dollar Wreck, Biscayne Bay, Florida (2015)
Long known to treasure hunters, the "Pillar Dollar" Wreck in Biscayne Bay, Florida, remains relatively unstudied. Ballast scatters and some wooden structures are visible on the sand, though what remains buried underneath is still a mystery. This project aims to uncover that mystery, and, if possible, reconstruct the vessel in an effort to gain more information regarding its origins and identity.
Sites of Difficult Memory: The Haciendas of Chimborazo, Ecuador (2015)
From the 17th century until the land reforms of the last fifty years, hacienda agriculture dominated the highland region surrounding Chimborazo, Ecuador. Many of the central building complexes of these operations now stand as ruins on the landscape. Through interviews, historical research, and site survey, I explore the role that these ruins play as silent witnesses to a difficult past for rural indigenous communities today.

Sixty Years of Archeology in Independence National Historical Park: Learning from the Past, Digging for the Future (2016)
Beginning in the early 1950’s archeologists began sifting the soil beneath Independence National Historical Park in an effort to help inform and guide the development of a new national park. Over the course of subsequent decades the formative work of Paul Schumacher, Barbara Liggett, and John Cotter, among others, shaped the park’s physical appearance, as well as the interpretive experience, for generations of visitors. In the process, these pioneers and their work played a key role in the birth...
Sixty Years of Encampment Archaeology at Valley Forge (2015)
From Lexington and Concord to Yorktown, fighting for the newfound independence of the American colonies occupied soldiers for only a fraction of the eight years spent engaged in conflict. The archaeology of the American Revolution goes well beyond the battlefield locations that dot the American landscape. With soldiers spending up to six months of the year in encampments, places like Valley Forge offer researchers the opportunity to understand the time spent outside the fighting season. This...
Skeletons in the Cabinet: Historical Memory and the Treatment of Human Remains Attributed to the Schenectady Massacre of 1690 (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As the first historic district in New York State, the Stockade Neighborhood of Schenectady is distinguished by a rich collective memory. Paramount among these historical memories is the Massacre of 1690. The story of the 'massacre' has been venerated through first-hand accounts, ballads,...

Slate Pencils and Stoves: The Impact of the Rosenwald Fund on Schools in Gloucester, County Virginia (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Before, After, and In Between: Archaeological Approaches to Places (through/in) Time" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The creation of the Rosenwald Fund in 1917 seems like a small event, but had a large impact on portions of the population. The fund helped rural African American communities in the South build over 5000 state of the art schoolhouses in their communities, often replacing old structures that...
