Papa’s Work Is Not Fathering (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Hood Archaeologies: Impacts of the School-to-Prison Pipeline on Archaeological Practice and Pedagogy" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Stereotypes and concomitant expectations for priority setting in archaeological careerism exist in tension with deep anthropological drives to understand and embody family ideals. Archaeologists, long confronted with the idea that “engendering archaeology” (cf. Conkey and Gero 1991)...

The Paradise of Memory: Florida's Historic Cemeteries (2018)
Nowhere else in our society are we as cognizant of the cultural landscape of our communities as in our historic cemeteries. Burying grounds are not merely components of a community’s physical landscape, but they also reflect the community over time. Markers and monuments are often the only structures that survive as physical testaments to individuals. Florida’s cemeteries are the repositories of last statements and speak to both the individual and collective cultural makeup of the communities...

Parallels in History: Shipwreck Salvage and Exploitation of Archaeological Resources in Florida and Aruba (2018)
Beginning in the 1950s, Florida witnessed a fascinating and tumultuous series of events concerning the salvage of historic shipwrecks. Before the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987, many historic shipwrecks in Florida were actively salvaged with little regard for their archaeological value. Currently, Aruba is experiencing similar salvage activity coupled with a lack of comprehensive legislation that protects terrestrial and submerged archaeological sites. This paper draws parallels between...

This is an abstract from the "*SE New Orleans and Its Environs: Historical Archaeology and Environmental Precarity" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. McDonough No. 5 School (1882-1930) was built in the historic Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans and was one of the first schools to educate black children. But as the neighborhood turned whiter and wealthier, the school was renovated, the black children turned away and relocated, and the newly...
Parasols, Picnics, and Pavillions: Feminization of the Florida Frontier (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This poster analyzes how the Federal army and its camp followers imposed a white American identity, specifically a feminine identity, on the Florida frontier in the early 19th century. To answer this question, I used archival and archaeological data from Fort Brooke, Tampa to better understand the ways that women contributed to the drive to civilize the borders of the new United States....
Paris-Cayenne: Ceramic Availability and Use within the Plantation Context in French Guiana (2018)
French Guiana presents a unique context in which to explore Caribbean plantation slavery due to several factors: it’s non-island geography, the distinct experiences of enslavement within French Caribbean colonies, and the unusual colonial agricultural economy. While sugar was sustainable for a short period in the early 19th century, plantations producing a variety of agricultural commodities were much more typical. In 2016, three nineteenth century plantation slave villages were the subject of...

Funded by the Friends of the Minute Man...
The Parque de Santa Cruz Project: Life on the Northern Margin of the Valencia Community (2009)
Prehistoric occupation of the Tucson Basin extends back at least 6,000 years. Not surprisingly, as a primary watercourse, the Santa Cruz River has been the focus of much of the prehistoric activity. Approximately 4,000 years ago, early agriculturalists began farming along the banks of the river, supplementing a diet composed primarily of wild foods. As agricultural technology developed, people built canals in the floodplain. The canals increased crop yields and reduced some of the risks...
Parsing out the Pace of Occupation at Poverty Point (2018)
Built by hunter-gatherers, the Poverty Point UNESCO World Heritage site is a three-square-kilometer earthwork complex of two massive mounds, several conical and flat-topped mounds, and six elliptical ridges enclosing a 17.4-hectare plaza. The Late Archaic Poverty Point culture (ca. 3800-3000 cal. B.P.) exhibited an unprecedented form and scale of social organization indicated by non-local material measured by the metric ton and the construction of extraordinary monumental architecture at a scale...

Parties at the Big House: Feasting, Alcohol, and Political Strategy at James Madison's Montpelier (2013)
Archaeological investigations at James Madison’s Montpelier have shed light on activities associated with James Madison Jr., 4th president of the United States. Madison’s political career and contributions to the founding of the nation made his name last throughout history. Perhaps just as crucial to securing his legacy were the parties hosted by his wife Dolley Madison both in Washington and at the family home. Of particular interest is the fact that the couple entertained extensively after...
Partnering for Heritage Preservation in Flagstaff, Jamaica (2016)
In 2015, archaeologists and community members in Flagstaff, Jamaica cooperatively excavated the site of a 19th-century British married soldier’s quarters, located in the former Maroon Town Barracks.
