Thomas Tucker, a US Liberty ship operated by the Merchants and Miners Company on behalf of the US Maritime Commission, was part of the 42-ship convoy carrying material to the African Front during World War II. The ship was reported lost in action – torpedoed at Cape Point. The cargo included 25 Sherman tanks, 16 tank cars, 200 motor vehicles, and barbed wire. This disarticulated beach shipwreck site provides an ideal educational opportunity for students to conduct basic pre-disturbance...

Chicago's Nikkei community changed significantly from 1943 through the 1950s as "resettlers" from incarceration camps, military personnel, and, later, "war brides" joined the city's formerly small Nikkei population. The resulting community incorporated Japanese Americans from a wide range of geographic and economic backgrounds, many of whom had undergone wartime incarceration. Salient aspects of Japanese American life in Chicago such as housing, employment, and burial were affected by local...

In North America, some of the largest and most well preserved archaeological collections of perishable artifacts, including objects such as string, nets, baskets, textiles, mats, and sandals, are curated by the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and National Museum of Natural History. Generally poor preservation of these items has challenged interested researchers to recover as much information as possible from them, meaning that even some of the very early, minimally...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Heritage at Risk: Shifting Responses from Reactive to Proactive" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Numerous historic, prehistoric, and multicomponent archaeological sites are preserved within the boundaries of Colonial National Historical Park in James City County, Virginia. Dozens of these resources are experiencing active erosion partly as a result of climate-intensified weather events and rising sea levels...

In this short treatise, three important dams in central Arizona will be used to illustrate relevant issues of dam technology in the United States. These three structures - Roosevelt Dam (completed in 1911), Stewart Mountain Dam (1930), and Horseshoe Dam (1946) - Were built under the auspices of the U.S. Reclamation Service (today known as the Bureau of Reclamation) and the Phoenix-based Salt River Valley Water Users' Association (today the Salt River Project). Constructed across the Salt River...

In 1988, archaeologist Stephen Potter supervised the excavation of four battlefield burials found by relic collectors on the Roulette farm of Antietam Battlefield. Archival research into the discovery location, and the analysis of the artifacts and meager bone fragments, linked these men to the Irish Brigade. Nearly thirty years later, Civil War human remains continue to be the subject of inquiry. This review cites examples from several Civil War sites and contexts to illustrate how the process...

There are two large mounds on the south side of Pueblo Bonito that were extensively trenched in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Data from the re-excavation of three trenches are combined with new geospatial and remote sensing information to create a three dimensional reconstruction of mound history. Although low walls were built around parts of each mound at some point, there is no evidence that the mounds were ever enclosed by architecture. The mounds consist mostly of household...

Shortly after acquiring part of Jamestown Island in the 1890s, founders of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities conducted excavations around the Jamestown church tower and churchyard. The 1901-1902 excavation records and drawings indicated that they uncovered foundations, tile and brick floors, tombstones, and burials associated with three churches. The earliest foundation was interpreted as the 1617 church, where the first General Assembly met in 1619. The second...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Three Kiva Pueblo Revisited In 1969, the BYU Field School of Archaeology began intensive excavations at site 42Sa863, Three Kiva Pueblo, in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah. Four seasons of field-work, including analysis of architecture, ceramics, lithics, and various artifact materials were reported in a 1974...

Belair began in the 1740s as the plantation of Samuel Ogle, one of Maryland’s proprietary governors and a prominent member of one of the colony’s most influential extended families. Field archaeology and archival research identified two significant alterations to the mansion and curtilage: removal of surrounding dependencies and construction of a telescoping addition in the early 19th-century, and removal of the addition and construction of flanking hyphens and wings in the early 20th century,...

The royal palace of Sans Souci anchored elite attempts to inculcate royal power and authority in the Kingdom of Haiti, a fledgling state that emerged out of the turmoil of the Haitian Revolution. Despite the role this site has played in the production of historical memory in Haiti, negligible archaeological work has been carried out to study building chronology and the organization of space at Sans Souci. In the summer of 2015, an international team from the University of California, Santa Cruz,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Three-dimensional modeling of archaeological sites has been used in scholarly papers as well as in museum displays to illustrate the original appearance of the archaeological site. In addition to these valuable applications, three-dimensional modeling of partially-excavated or no-longer-standing archaeological architecture has significant value to the field of...

The analysis and disentanglement of human skeletal elements from commingled burial contexts is an essential step in creating individual identifications. This commingled analysis often includes a reliance on joint articulations to determine holistic element reassociations. Manual methods currently exist to test joint articulations for potential reassociation, but most appendicular joint articulations fall within the low reliability category for this method (Adams and Byrd 2014). Many cases of...

Three-dimensional technologies have provided new ways to record, reconstruct, and distribute the information gathered during fieldwork and subsequent study. This paper will overview the ongoing methodologies used to document and interpret the Egadi 10 ramming warship through theoretical reconstruction in Rhino and Orca3D as well as the importance of using contributory reconstruction to produce new research questions. It will also discuss how additional recording techniques, employed during the...

This is an abstract from the "Three-Minute Artifact Forum - Artifacts That Enlighten: The Ordinary and the Unexpected" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The majority of artifacts historical archaeologists find are ordinary objects; things we recognize instantly and have seen lots of. However, every once in a while, one of these ordinary artifacts speaks to us. It could be because of the density of the find within a site, a unique motif it contains,...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Science and African Archaeology: Appreciating the Impact of David Killick" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists and Indigenous and national governments agree on the need to address the wicked problem of heritage resource crime, but archaeologists have yet to deploy the full range of analytic tools at our disposal to assist in the investigation and prosecution of looting, vandalism, and grave...

This is an abstract from the "Sacred Southwestern Landscapes: Archaeologies of Religious Ecology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Pueblo worlds are remarkably similar, yet completely distinct. This paradox has challenged Southwestern anthropologists: how do Pueblo people, from Hopi to Taos, share similar worldviews and beliefs, but maintain unique histories of their paths of becoming? Elsie Clews Parsons and Edward Dozier characterized Pueblo...

Photography is an integral part of the archeological recordation process. This paper compares and contrasts the photographic methods of the 1991/1992 Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (MCPFC) excavations and the 2013 MCPFC excavations. In each case, the photographic record preserves the original burial context and is useful for analysis after that context is destroyed. The differences between the photographic methods of the 1991/92 excavations and the 2013 excavations represent not only...
