Preservation of American Antiquities; Progress during the Last Year; Needed Legislation (1906)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Edgar L. Hewett.

Prior to 1904, the only act of our Government looking toward the preservation of our antiquities was the reservation and restoration, by act of Congress of March 2, 1889, of the Casa Grande ruin in Arizona. During the last fifteen months a definite policy of preservation has rapidly developed, so that at present it may be said that approximately three-fourths of all the remains of antiquity that are situated on lands owned or controlled by the United States are under custodianship more or less...

Preserving Heritage: The Challenge of Race and Class at the Pyrrhus Concer Homelot (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Allison J.M. McGovern.

This paper discusses community outreach and archaeological investigations at the Pyrrhus Concer Homelot in Southampton, New York. Pyrrhus Concer was born to an enslaved mother during the Gradual Emancipation Era in New York State, and he is locally remembered as a freed slave, a whaleman, a philanthropist, and a respected community member. Despite local awareness and memorialization of Concer’s homelot, his home became the locus of a heated battle between local preservationists, planning board...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Paul Mardikian.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Lives Revealed: Interpreting the Human Remains and Personal Artifacts from the Civil War Submarine H. L. Hunley" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The waterlogged, anoxic and mostly sealed conditions that prevailed inside the Hunley for 136 years provided an optimal environment for the preservation of the human remains from the eight crewmembers. Of all the materials preserved on the submarine, conjoined...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project has been conducting excavations in Niles, Michigan over twenty years as part of Western Michigan University’s archaeological field school, now in its 44th year. Students learn archaeological field and lab methods while recovering material evidence from the eighteenth-century site of Fort St. Joseph, a mission-garrison-post. Much of the success of...

Preserving the Past: Managing Prehistoric and Historic Canoes (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alyssa D. Reisner.

Cultural resource managers often encounter historic and prehistoric wooden canoes during their archaeological field investigations or inventory process. There is considerable variation in ways that state entities manage these vessels. Different techniques are used, including but not limited to, in situ preservation, excavation, conservation, and museum exhibition. The current study examined and compared various options and techniques employed in the management of wooden canoes, mainly focusing...

Preserving the Peripheries and Excavating at the Edges: An Examination of the Drinking Spaces at Two Protected Frontier Sites (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan Victor.

Frontier spaces are busy, dynamic zones of meeting, and change, yet often in the realm of research and preservation, these locales are given peripheral attention in favor of more well-established metropoles. I examine two sites: Smuttynose Island, in the Isles of Shoals, Maine, and Highland City, Montana. Thanks to the efforts of the Smuttynose Island Steward Program and the United States Forest Service (especially the Passport in Time Program), these two frontier resource-extraction communities...

Prestige Foods and the Adoption of Pottery by Subarctic Foragers (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Boyd. Megan Wady. Andrew Lints. Clarence Surette. Scott Hamilton.

In the last two millennia before European contact, pottery technology was adopted by foragers across much of the southern Canadian Boreal Forest in response to the spread of Woodland (~100 BC – AD 1700) cultural influence. However, the function and importance of pottery in these northern societies remains unclear due to a combination of poor organic preservation, thin and disturbed stratigraphy, and limited archaeological exploration. In this study, we summarize the results of food residue...

The Price of Death: Materiality and Economy of 19th and 20th Century Funeral Wakes on the Periphery of Western Ireland. (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sara Morrow. Ian Kuijt.

What is the price of death? Funeral wakes, at the intersection of religion, community, and material consumption, are one way to consider the connotation of marginal communities as representing national and local traditions and historic identity. The coastal islands of rural western Ireland have historically been presented as culturally isolated, economically disadvantaged, and geographically inaccessible. In the Western region, religious and local traditions surrounding death have been...

Prioritizing the Concretions from Queen Anne’s Revenge for Conservation: A Case Study in Managing a Large Collection (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberly P Kenyon.

In the ongoing excavation of archaeological site 31CR314 (Blackbeard’s flagship Queen Anne’s Revenge), approximately 3,000 concretions have been raised as of Fall 2014. With a plan for complete recovery, and considering that an estimated 60% of the site has been excavated so far, over 5,000 concretions could eventually be recovered. With the substantial amount of conservation to be done and only 2 full-time conservators, a plan for how to proceed through the collection was needed. Over the...

The Private Side of Victorian Mourning Practices in 19th-century New England: The Cole’s Hill Memorial Cache (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nadia Waski. Victoria A Cacchione.

Excavated from Cole’s Hill in downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts, a cache comprising of a collection of 19th century personal adornment artifacts, daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and organic materials, potentially provides an alternative view of mourning and memorialization practices in Victorian-era New England. The associated artifacts possess characteristics indicative of Victorian mourning symbols and material types. However, no other current examples of this mourning practice exist in the...

Privy to the Past: Refuse Disposal on Alexandria’s 18th Century Waterfront (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth Waters Johnson.

While the discovery of an 18th century ship on the site captivated the media and public….just a few feet away we quietly worked to excavate another exciting find…a public privy. The large privy, one of four uncovered at the site, was located fifteen feet from the 1755 Carlyle warehouse, and is thought to be associated with this first public warehouse in Alexandria. Thousands of seeds, ceramics, glass, shoes and other unique finds provide a window into the lives of these early residents that...
