The various architectural styles included Italianate, Colonial Revival, Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Classical...

Of all the posts at Fort Sam Houston, none is more complex stylistically than the Infantry Post. This complicated assemblage of stylistic influences is typified in the design of Long Barracks and Band Barracks, and is discussed in more detail later in this text. Less difficult to interpret are the post’s kitchens, mess halls, and latrines which were executed in a simplified form of the Colonial Revival style. The Colonial Revival style, also known as Georgian Revival, is an adaptation of the...

From an architectural perspective, buildings and structures at Camp Bullis are utilitarian in character. Some Craftsman and Bungalow stylistic influences can be seen in building proportions and detailing. Buildings were built economically to house, feed, and train troops; to administer training programs, and to maintain the military hardware used in training. Although the edifices of Fort Sam Houston project permanence and the public face of the Army as an enduring institution of the government,...

In January 2015, we instituted a monthly "Volunteer Day" at the Archaeological Research Laboratory at the University of Tennessee. Originally conceived as a way to increase outreach to the general public as well as prepare a large number of artifacts for curation, this activity has developed into a "citizen science" opportunity, where participants help collect data. Here we reflect on the positives and negatives of the program as we have implemented it over the past two years, with feedback from...

This is an abstract from the "The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Millington letters from 1910 to 1913 described military actions along the Rio Grande in Presidio, Texas, at the start of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920). These letters are handwritten accounts of the Mexican Revolution and what was occurring across the U.S.–Mexico international border and how this unfolded in the Big Bend region. This...

Among the papers left by William John Murphy and his wife, Laura Fulwiler Murphy, were some 500 letters and other papers. Ralph Murphy recalling on his own memory, wrote a book that he hoped to get published through commercial channels. The author's agent that he dealt with insisted that his manuscript was too dull and urged him to make it more dramatic. This he attempted in a revision which he called W. J., which never got beyond the manuscript form. There is a store of information about W....

Traditionally, Waapushukaamikw (‘house of the hare’) was a sacred site for Cree and closely related Northern Algonquian people in subarctic Quebec. Its use as a place of prayer was noted in the early 18th century CE by Jesuit missionaries, and some elements of this tradition have continued to modern times. Waapushukamikw, known by archaeologists as the Colline Blanche, was also an important lithic source in subarctic Quebec, used for some 6,000 years. Artifacts of Mistassini quartzite from this...

In the context of rapid social or environmental change, foodways offer a way to track how identities are negotiated amid new realities. The Protohistoric period (550–350 BP) in the Northeast was an early site of sporadic and often indirect Indigenous-European contact in North America and the Wabanaki of Maine and the Maritime Provinces were early participants in the world economic system. Analyses of the Devil’s Head and Birch Cove sites in Passamaquoddy Bay indicate that Wabanaki diets were...

The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as “Wabash County Excavation N.D.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folder, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is a quarter of a linear inch. The Glenn A. Black Laboratory of...
