Blue Willow Vessels and Life’s Other Mysteries: Understanding high value ceramics and their role in identity formation within contexts of company town economic deprivation (2018)
Historical archaeologists have long recognized the connection between material culture and identity. Ceramics, in particular, have the opportunity to inform researchers about economic choices, consumer decisions, and societal trends. However, when looking at communities that experience social and economic deprivation, the presence of (oftentimes more expensive) decorated vessels can cause confusion. Excavations conducted in 2016 focusing on the poorest workers’ housing in a coal company town in...
Blue-green stone mosaics in the U. S. Southwest and Northwestern Mexico: origins, spatio-temporal distribution and potential meanings (2017)
Intricately-crafted mosaics are prevalent among blue-green stone artifacts created in prehispanic Mesoamerica, but are rarer in the prehistoric United States Southwest and Northwestern Mexico (SW/NW). Because they occur earlier in Mesoamerica and are the most Mesoamerican-like of the SW/NW blue-green stone creations, we propose that the production and use of these artifacts in the SW/NW was derived from Mesoamerica. We describe the degree to which mosaics manufactured in the SW/NW resemble and...

Blueprints of BOMARC Missile Facility at McGuire Air Force Base (2017)
This file is a collection of blueprints of the BOMARC missile facility at McGuire Air Force Base. Blueprints include plans for various buildings, pavement profiles, loading docks, heating and venting systems and water treatment centers. The dates of the blueprints range from 1953 to 1962.
Blueprints, First Floor, Basement, and Research Section, School of Aviation Building 661, Randolph Air Force Base, Texas (1993)
Blueprints of the basement and first floor to be used for the proposed undertaking at Building 661, Randolph Air Force Base, Texas. This letter is part of a group of letters and supporting documentation for the proposed undertaking to rehabilitate the south wing of the first floor and the north wing of the basement at Building 661, Randolph Air Force Base, Texas. The projects focus on the interior of the building that was originally constructed to serve as the installation's School of Aviation...
Blurred Boundaries: Internal and Illicit Plantation Economies (2015)
Craft production, hired time, personal cotton plots, theft, and diverse trade networks created a patchwork of economic opportunities for several hundred slaves on Witherspoon Island, a 19th century cotton plantation in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. This paper explores the impact of household and community involvement in a myriad of economic practices that were at times sanctioned, expressly forbidden, or tacitly accepted by the plantation management. When the archaeological and...
Blurred Lines: Queering the divide between pre-historic and historic archaeology (2015)
The infamous divide between historic and pre-historic archaeology in the North American tradition often rests on the introduction of written texts or the arrival of Europeans to a region. With the division comes methodology that is considered acceptable by each group. Well-renowned archaeologists have discussed this divide in detail, yet we continue to maintain the boundaries due to lack of implementation of new theoretical/methodological paradigms. This paper discusses the queering of...
Blurring Disciplinary Boundaries: Historical Archaeological Investigations at St. Nicholas Abbey Sugar Plantation (2013)
Since 2007 faculty and students from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia have conducted archaeological investigations at St. Nicholas Abbey sugar plantation, one the most important heritage site in Barbados. The interdisciplinary research program developed for the site seeks to uncover evidence that will help in the restoration, preservation, and celebration of this important historic landmark. While deeds, maps, paintings, and other documentary sources offer insights into...
Boat Ramp #1 Site (12MO314) 1987
The USACE, Louisville District obtained the collection through an archaeological test excavation at the Boat Ramp Number One Site, Lake Monroe Reservoir Project in 1987. Test excavations were conducted under the supervision of Jeffery A. Myers and Patrick J. Munson by the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana University (GBL) in contract with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reservoirs. Fieldwork consisted of hand excavation of the trenches to assess the...
Boats and Captians of Cahuita: Recording Watercraft and Small Boats of Costa Rica (2016)
The boats of Cahuita, Costa Rica vary in design, size and decoration. This poster displays the design variation and depicts the East Carolina University summer field school methods used to record these small watercraft. The differences in design are catalogued through photography and also with recorded measurements. The information gathered should be sufficient to reconstruct the vessel at full scale. In some cases, the data was further utilized to create more practical three dimensional...
Boca Negra Wash: Investigating Activity Organization at a Shallowly Buried Folsom Camp in the Middle Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico (2017)
Shallow open-air Folsom sites in central New Mexico have been known for six decades, but have received little investigation; most are known only from surface collection. Their post-occupational geomorphic histories of erosional exposure and reburial, coupled with limited archaeological investigation, pose significant challenges to efforts to examine and interpret Folsom intra-site activity organization. We report on our efforts to detect and make sense of patterning in the distribution of...
Boca, California- House On The Hill Project: Results of 2016 Field Survey (2018)
During 2016, fieldwork was carried out in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains at Boca, a late 19th century company town that provided lumber for the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Comstock mine. Boca was also one of the largest producers of naturally harvested ice, selling to individuals and companies, including the railroad. Use of iced railcars provided the means for the transcontinental railroad to successfully ship perishable goods long distances, giving later rise...
Bodies Apart: Dissection and Embodied Structural Violence in a Historic Skeletal Assemblage from San Francisco (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Historic-era skeletal samples from the United States routinely reflect marginalized and vulnerable populations, many of which were also subject to dissection, a partible practice widely considered a form of desecration in the nineteenth century. Using historic and osteological data from a skeletal assemblage (MNI=25) at Point San Jose in San Francisco, CA (AD...
Bodies Lying in State: Nationalism, the Past, and Identity (2013)
In the twenty-first century, nationalism continues to be a powerful motivating ideology in global, national, and local politics. In the hope of overtly and covertly strengthening cohesive nationalist sentiment and identity, individual states often use the very bodies of past peoples as symbols and ideological tools. This is evidenced in the differing display (or lack thereof) of human remains in the national museums of Denmark, Egypt, and the United States. In each case, the identification of...
