This is an abstract from the "Social Justice in Native North American Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For the past thirty years, Tongva leaders and cultural educators have created educational programs with local scholars in order to rectify the belief that the Tongva are extinct. In some instances, these programs were the result of irate letters from and protests by Tongva community members when exhibits, tours, interpretive signs,...
End-of-Life Choices and 19th Century North Georgia Cemeteries (2015)
In 1835, Carmel Baptist Church was established in the rural town of BrickStore, Georgia. Though not a large settlement by modern standards, Carmel drew from a dense population and was located in a built-up and developed area. Only 16 years later, the church combined with another congregation and instead of staying in BrickStore, the new Carmel Baptist Church was moved outside of the settled zone and into an unpopulated area marked only by the junction of two country roads. The cemetery...
Endscrapers (2010)
Selected Endscrapers
Endscrapers From the Eaton Site (2004)
After seventeen field school excavations, the Eaton Site assemblage is ready to be examined more closely. One hundred sixty-two endscrapers found on the site were studied. Just what endscrapers were used for and the controversy surrounding hafting is discussed. In addition, data concerning variability and patterning in six areas of the site are reported. What this suggests for the site, as well as the potential impact of extensive plowing on the sample, are also discussed. Site maps showing...
The Enduring Expression of Historic Memory: The Role of Artistic Works in the Understanding, Protection, and Promotion of Cultural Resources (2017)
Maritime disasters, military battles, and other significant traumatic events can develop enduring bodies of creative expression that work to preserve their memory, impact, and sense of place, and transforms them into shared social experiences even well after the events occurred. It may take the form of song, paintings, physical models, exhibitions, memorials, devotionals, novels, and/or film. In this symposium, archaeologists and historians discuss examples of these forms of artistry as they...
An Enduring People: The Grand Portage Ojibwe and Expanding the Historical Narrative of the Post-Fur Trade Era. (2016)
The North West Company at Grand Portage defines the colonial narrative on the north shore of Lake Superior. A more inclusive historical narrative recognizes the lasting presence of the Grand Portage Ojibwe. After the 1854 Treaty of LaPointe, the Grand Portage Ojibwe entered the Reservation Era. Over the next century, the Grand Portage Ojibwe utilized traditional lifeways mixed with wage labor jobs while enduring U.S. Government policies of assimilation. Today, the Grand Portage Ojibwe co-manage...

This is an abstract from the "The Public and Our Communities: How to Present Engaging Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Inspired to explore ways to increase the relevancy of archaeology to the public, I investigated ways in which archaeological and anthropological theory and methods can be used to engage with a community.

Engaging Communities through Conflict: A Case Study in the Development of Truly Engaged Scholarship in Two Communities (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Initiation of community engaged scholarship is not an event. It is often a long-term developmental process, requires recursive planning and assessment, and often engages multiple communities. We present a case study of a research project that grew into a community and collaborative archaeological endeavor that balances engagement between two...
Engaging Community in Climate Change, Heritage Resource Management and Citizen Science: Examples from Florida’s National Parks (2018)
The National Park Service’s core mission is to protect and preserve unimpaired for future generations natural and cultural resources under its management. Climate change presents unprecedented challenges as humans have set in motion an unstoppable sea-level rise that will eventually submerge, damage and destroy many heritage resources. Many sites are already undergoing severe erosion, and we struggle with prioritizing limited resources for protecting sites. What are our options? Using case...

Engaging Students and Communities About Archaeological Sites and Collections Through Digital Knowledge Mobilization (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Students get quickly engaged with archaeological sites and collections when they use digital technologies to tell stories and connect with others. Yet, the wide array of tools available can lead to poorly conceived results when projects need to be completed in the space of one semester by undergraduate students. In this session I will explore options to train students in...
Engaging the History of the San Fernando Valley: Collections and "Synergy" at CSUN (2017)
Perceptions of southern California’s San Fernando Valley have long pertained to its relationship to adjacent Los Angeles, with the region over time characterized as either agricultural hinterland or faceless suburbia. Such stereotypes overlook the numerous historical associations and resources of the region, in the process subverting the identities and "communitas" of valley residents. In 2016 courses taught in the Department of Anthropology at California State University-Northridge (CSUN) have...

Engendered Death: A Comprehensive Analysis of Identity in the Mission System of 17th Century Spanish Florida (2015)
Personal identity, while always fluid, was especially so in the borderlands that made up seventeenth-century Spanish Florida due to the collision of many different cultures within the colonial system. The Spanish missions set up by the Franciscans who travelled to the frontier of Spanish territory in Florida served as places wherein the Apalachee, the Guale, and the Timucua could negotiate issues of identity such as gender, social status, and age. Analysis of cemetery populations excavated from...
Engine at Full Power: How the conservation of USS Monitor’s main engine has become an avenue for outreach. (2013)
In 1987, The Mariners’ Museum (TMM) became the official repository for all objects recovered from the wreck of the USS Monitor. Starting in the 90’s, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began recovering large portions of the ironclad, which led to the retrieval of engineer John Ericsson’s 20-ton steam engine in 2001. Over the last decade, the conservation process has enabled experts to collaborate and provide insight into where and how the engine was fabricated, how it...
