From summer 2014 through spring 2015, The Mannik & Smith Group conducted Phase I and Phase III investigations of two partial city blocks in the Uptown neighborhood of Toledo, Ohio. The Phase I survey identified a total of 29 features, including building foundations and utility features associated with domestic occupations, commercial enterprises, and a hospital and representing deposits from the 1860s through the 1950s. Phase III data recovery excavations focused on 12 of these features, dating...

Common in the post-medieval period, annual ‘patterns’ or feast day celebrations of local patron saints remains an ongoing tradition in parts of rural Ireland. At times suppressed by the Catholic Church, pattern day activities typically involve visiting sacred monuments (e.g. wells, stones, trees, and medieval monastic ruins) to carry out a series of devotional practices. Such traditions represent the intersection of medieval heritage with both specific local conditions and broader historical...

The taphonomic processes that affect archaeological remains in a given location are some of the most significant factors to be taken into consideration when assessing the type and amount of information potentially recoverable from an archaeological site.  These processes vary widely based upon geographic region.  Human agency as a taphonomic process has similar geographically and culturally-based variability.  Through remembrance, memorialization, and commemoration, or lack thereof, to include...

This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Initial excavations at Bulow Plantation in Northeast Florida suggested that the destruction of the site by Seminole forces in 1836 had obscured much of the detail of enslaved life there.  However, excavations at a second cabin suggest that a much deeper story can be told about the lives of enslaved peoples at Bulow Plantation in the early 19th century than...

This study focuses on the archaeological correlates of the lived experience of immigrant communities that worked along New York's canal systems during the nineteenth century. A part of ongoing dissertation research, this poster is meant to illustrate case studies of the events and pressures of immigrant labor with the goal of fostering a better understanding of New York's industrial, political, and social history. Issues involved in this complex topic include trade agreements and cost...

The mid to late nineteenth century emergence of purpose-built sailing vessels to ply the Welland Canal was a relatively simple solution to meet the diverse demands of bulk cargo transportation in the Great Lakes. As such, ‘sailing canallers’ were an important economic link between the eastern and western United States, connecting economic and industrial landscapes of the Midwest with eastern markets, and fueling the expansion of major Great Lakes industrial centers. With few drawn plans, and no...

In July 2015, ASM Affiliates Inc. (ASM) conducted an excavation of an 1860s mining camp at Logan City, Lincoln County, Nevada.  In 1864, Mormons, miners, and the military had moved into, what is now, Southeastern Nevada, in a quest for land, water, and silver.  Native Americans resisted these efforts and briefly expelled miners from Logan City; however, the miners returned and established a substantial camp surrounding Logan Spring. During an extensive survey in 2013 and 2014, ASM archaeologists...

The Abiel Smith School, located on Boston’s historic Beacon Hill, was one of the oldest all-Black schools in the country and operated from 1834 to 1855. According to documentary evidence, the school was underfunded, mismanaged, and often at the center of debates about segregation. The Northeast Museum Services Center, in partnership with the Boston City Archaeology Program, is rehousing and researching the artifacts associated with the school that were excavated in the 1990s. The artifacts tell...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the late nineteenth century as global competition increased the Caribbean sugar industry consolidated into a small number of central factories and rum distilleries. The industrial capacity of some plantations was upgraded with the introduction of steam-powered mills, whereas other elements of infrastructure like fields and laborer housing continued to be used. Thus masonry...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Glen Eyrie Middens: Recent Research into the Lives of General William Jackson and Mary Lincoln “Queen” Palmer and their Estate in Western Colorado Springs, Colorado." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Artifacts recovered during excavations at site 5EP7334 date between the 1880s and the early 1900s, which coincides with the earliest occupation of the Glen Eyrie Estate by the Palmer family and estate staff....

Mining districts are inherently violent places. Deaths, accidents, and injuries are topics that appear liberally in historic literature; period newspapers almost gleefully reported on deaths caused by accidents and foul play. Suicide, however, was a form of death often accompanied by stigma, and frequently reported with overtones of pity. Rarely does violence manifest itself in the archaeological record. This paper discusses the unexpected discovery of a Depression-era suicide in a central...

Gulf Archaeology Research Institute, a nonprofit scientific research organization, has a 20-year history of integrating biological and physical sciences to better understand and protect Florida’s vanishing natural and cultural resources. Population growth, development, and natural threats from sea level rise to climate change are all rapidly diminishing our cultural resources. Necessity has required innovative approaches to understand and protect historic landscapes. Partnering with the Seminole...

This is an abstract from the "Military Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Built outside of Inverness, Scotland, Fort George’s construction was started shortly after the end of the last Jacobite Rebellion in 1746.  The massive show of force has never been engaged in any combat but has served as a barracks and training site for the British Army since it’s completion in 1769.  This paper looks at the construction and use of Fort George though an...

The Spanish Colonial mission complexes (churches, quadrangles, and outlying buildings and structures) brought about new order on native landscapes with the introduction of European urban planning. As a result, many researchers maintain that Old World plants and animals rapidly supplanted and displaced many types of native species, and they often define "wild" foods as supplemental to agricultural foods. Additionally, many scholars continue to support the notion that agriculture is an active...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. I looked to synthesize, and expand on, past historical and archaeological research pertaining to the nineteenth century at the San Luis site in Tallahassee, Florida. My intention was to further investigate the different ownerships of San Luis during this century. A further goal was to highlight the need to better understand the enslaved experience at San Luis during the ten year...

Excavations at colonial Brunswick and Civil War era Fort Anderson by Stanley South in the 1950s and 1960s were designed to make their shared footprint into a public historic park.  Historical data and the artifacts uncovered through his excavations formed the initial interpretations.  While this data was documented in field reports and select other venues, such as CHSA presentations in the 1960s and Method and Theory (1977), the publication of Archaeology at Colonial Brunswick (2010) largely...

At his death in 1799, George Washington recorded 318 enslaved people at Mount Vernon.  This number does not reflect the numbers of individuals who worked the property during the entire tenure of the Washington family from 1735 – 1858, and it does not begin to address individuals enslaved on the numerous properties owned by Washington or the vast acreage he administered on behalf of the Custis family.  To better understand the lives of all those enslaved individuals, Mount Vernon’s digital...

The La Bahia was believed to have passed in front of the Inn. Investigations never located the illusive trace. Plans to expand the parking lot created an opportunity to look on the northeast side; the backdoor to the Inn and dining room. Background research revealed that the Fanthorp’s residence was at the front of the Inn. If travelers departed the stagecoach at the front door they would have traipsed through the Fanthorps living space to get to the dining area. While many guests stayed at the...

A primary goal of the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project is to ensure the community’s education and engagement with the investigation and interpretation of an eighteenth-century mission, garrison, and trading post in present day Niles, Michigan. This paper discusses how archaeologists, community members, and online viewers experience the site from a first person perspective. Throughout the 2016 field season, we filmed hours of point-of-view footage using two Go-Pro cameras to show the ways...

Since its establishment in 1827, Lindenwood University has been a central location for educating young women.  Modern-day excavations of an historic campus trash dump have yielded a selection of glass bottles and bottle shards that can be identified for their cosmetic, medicinal, and educational applications for the girls who attended the university during the early twentieth century. Socio-economic information, such as the place of origin and price of the bottles’ contents, will contribute to...

            The looting of archaeological sites is not new. However, the glamorization of finding and selling artifacts has reached a larger audience through recent American television shows such as Spike TV’s "American Digger" and National Geographic’s "Diggers" which illustrate the unscientific removal and sale of cultural materials.   While federal and state laws protect sites on public land, sites on private property are less safeguarded.  In states such as Texas, which is 95% privately...
