A "Fortified Citadel": The Archaeology of an English Civil Wars Fortification in St. Mary's City, Maryland (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeological Research of the 17th Century Chesapeake" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Between 1642 and 1651, the English Civil Wars, or English Revolution, would rage across the British landscape. Actually a complex series of conflicts, this civil war would have profound implications for the history of the British Isles. Less well known is how this conflict resonated in other regions within the British...

Forts on Burial Mounds: Strategies of Colonization in the Dakota Homeland (2016)
For hundreds of years, Upper Midwest Dakota constructed burial earthworks at natural liminal spaces. These sacred landscapes signaled boundaries between sky, earth, and water realms; the living and the dead; and local bands. During the 19th century, the U.S. Government took ownership of Dakota homelands in Minnesota and the Dakotas leading to decades of violent conflict. At the boundaries of conflict forts were built to help the military "sweep the region now occupied by hostiles" and protect...
The Foundation of Fransciscan Missions: Trial and Error and Implications for Archaeological Research and Resource Management (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The locations and layouts of Franciscan missions was prescribed in great detail by the Crown. Yet, as it often happens with rules and regulations and their implementations, the realities of building a shield against perceived or real...
The Foundation of Meaning (2013)
Sometime in the 1870s, a small set of subterranean stones became an object of importance and pilgrimage. Promoters, travel writers, and visitors claimed that the stones were the original foundations of George Washington’s boyhood home near Fredericksburg Virginia. The site was already well known as the site of Parson Weems’s famous Cherry Tree parable, but as the landscape recovered from the Civil War, residents look for other ways to have a less troubled American past. Washington provided the...
Four Ships, Three Years, Two Blocks: Managing Alexandria’s Derelict Merchant Fleet (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Archaeology: Down by the Water" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Adopted by City Council in November of 1989 and incorporated into the zoning ordinance in 1992, Alexandria’s Archaeological Protection Code serves to preserve the city’s rich heritage for future generations of scholars and the public. Recent large-scale projects along the waterfront have unearthed amazing finds, perhaps beyond what the...
Four Years of Passport in Time: Public Archaeology and Professional Collaboration in a Nevada Ghost Town (2016)

Sponsored by the APTC Student Subcommittee and aided by the Ethic Committee, this event is designed to challenge students in terrestrial and underwater archaeology with case studies relevant to ethical issues that they may encounter in their careers. Teams will be scored on clarity, depth, focus, and judgment in their responses. The bowl is intended to foster both good-natured competition between students from many different backgrounds and...
Foxy Ladies: investigating human-animal interactions at Agvik, Banks Island (2017)
Outstanding organic preservation at many Arctic sites gives archaeologists access to large artifactual and faunal assemblages through which to examine human-animal interactions. However, much of the research focused on these interactions conceives them not only in ecological/economic terms, but also examines them at the level of entire communities (e.g. zooarchaeological studies of subsistence) or focuses on the predominantly male realm of hunting. The Arctic ethnographic record reflects a...
Fragile, Organic Artifacts from Alpine Ice in the Athapaskan Homeland, Southern Yukon, Canada (2017)
Since the late 1990’s, a significant collection of fragile, organic artifacts has been collected from melting alpine ice patches in southern Yukon, Canada. The ice patch study area is in the Athapaskan homeland, and was an area strongly impacted by the White River Ash event, ca. 1200 yBP, which possibly triggered southward migrations of some Athapaskan speakers. This paper will present an overview of the Yukon ice patch project and will include a description of organic hunting artifacts...
Fragments of Student Life: An Archaeometric Approach to Life on College Hill, Brown University, Providence, RI (2016)

Framing Pattern and Shipwright Agency: Understanding the Uniformization of the French Navy in the Late 17th century (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "From the Bottom Up: Socioeconomic Archaeology of the French Maritime Empire" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sunk in 1692 at the Battle of La Hougue during the Nine Years' War (1688–1697), the wrecks of Saint-Philippe, Magnifique, Merveilleux, Foudroyant, and Ambitieux constituted what is considered to be the first navy of France. These ships were built by master shipwrights who were already seasoned...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "California: Post-1850s Consumption and Use Patterns in Negotiated Spaces" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. California State University Channel Islands campus was originally constructed as the former Camarillo State Mental Hospital. This location serves as a case study for examining changes in communities and land use in California throughout time. Archaeological surveys on campus, artifact analyses, and...
François Janis, Jean Ribault, and Clarisse, a Free Woman of Color: A Discussion of Exclusion, Structural Violence, and Privilege in Ste. Genevieve (2016)
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the town of Ste. Genevieve (in present-day Missouri) was supported by agriculture, salt production, and fur-trading, all of which were dependent on enslaved African American and Native American laborers. French emigrants and New World French descendants made up the majority of Euro-American settlers and French cultural traditions structured daily life in the community. The built environment included architectural barriers, a...
The Fredericksburg Slave Auction Block: A Material Reminder of Race Relations in Virginia (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Monuments, Memory, and Commemoration" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Cultural memories in Fredericksburg, Virginia, are numerous and pervasive. While some stories are rooted in recorded data, others are the product of changing tales over time—modified as they filter through the lens of cultural consciousness. Recognition of these traditions is imperative during urban archaeology. In 2018, Dovetail Cultural...
Freedom Come: The Archaeology of Postemancipation Life in Dominica (2017)
Archaeological interest in postemancipation life on plantations has received significantly less attention than those dating before emancipation. The resulting neglect misses several opportunities to unveil the complexities of postemancipation social and economic life and the impact of full freedom on the material and spatial practices of formerly enslaved individuals. I show how both planters and free people reorganized their physical surroundings and what this reorganization can reveal about...
Freedom in Florida: Maroons Making Do in the Colonial Borderland (2018)
We define Maroons by their overt resistance; theirs was one of the most extreme forms of anti-slavery resistance in the Americas and for many scholars is representative of the human desire to be free. Maroons removed themselves from the places in which they were enslaved and created new places apart from this brutal existence. However, reducing our understanding of Maroon life to a history of domination and resistance limits the scope of Maroon agency and values certain forms of action, such as...
Freedom on the Frontier: The Archaeology of the Black Regulars of Fort Davis (2017)
In the late 1860s, the frontier army provided opportunities for black Civil War veterans, displaced northern black workers and formerly enslaved men to develop careers. During the Civil War, black soldiers had successfully won the fight for equal pay, and the military was a rare space that offered regular pay, educational opportunities, and limited opportunity for upward mobility. The segregated cavalry and infantry units of the black regulars, however, quickly became posted in some of the...
The Freeman Family Of Black Governors: Agency And Resistance Through Three Generations (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Enslavement" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From the mid-18th to mid-19th century, African American communities in New England t developed their own political and cultural structure headed by elected officials known as Black Governors or Black Kings.

French military lunettes at Ft. Bridger, WY (2016)
Fort Bridger, WYhas a strong connection to French colonialism in North America. While the original trading post was created to accomodate French traders in the West, the French influence on military structures has not been as well researched in this region. Lunette fortifications that were recorded on historical documents have been found through magnatometry, and are currently being excavated. Features have been discovered that do not match the historical records exactly, however, such as a...
The French or the British: Who Built "Better" Ships? (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "From the Bottom Up: Socioeconomic Archaeology of the French Maritime Empire" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Throughout the 1700s, France and Great Britain warred over command of the sea. Internally, administrators of both countries, inspired by the rationalism of the Enlightenment, pushed shipwrights to design ships scientifically, convinced that this would give their navy an edge in battle. Shipwrights...
