This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Boston-Higginbotham House was home to one of the founding families of Nantucket’s African-American community. The women of the Boston family served as a crucial element to the persistence and survivance of both the African and Native American cultures within the community. The Wamponoag matriarch and her female descendants found ways to subvert some Euro-American societal and...

This paper outlines developing dissertation research that integrates archaeological and historical evidence about the community of Andagua and the Ayo Valley in the Southern Peruvian Andes. Constructed as a Spanish colonial reducción, Andagua resides in a seldom-visited highland area, and today is merely considered a rural, provincial neighbor of Arequipa. Andagua, however, has a striking past evident in the substantial prehispanic remains that surround and lie buried beneath the contemporary...

Uncovered during ongoing efforts to restore the last standing Chinese operated laundry and merchandise store in The Dalles, Oregon, test excavation at site 35WS453 has exposed the deep roots of a largely vanished community. The thick stratified deposits at the site are the product of nearly a century’s worth of intensive occupation, followed by a long period of near abandonment. By coupling archival research with the archaeological record, we are gaining a clearer understanding of the site...

Between March, 2013, and October, 2014, the National Park Service Submerged Resources Center and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s Office of Renewable Energy Programs collaborated on a marine magnetic research and testing initiative resulting in the development of a custom ArcGIS python toolbox for visualizing and assessing marine magnetic survey data used to identify submerged cultural material. These tools, and the mathematical models driving them, were applied in numerous survey...

In addition to a nearly complete human skeleton dating to the Late Pleistocene, the submerged cave site of Hoyo Negro contains a diverse and well preserved assemblage of extinct and extant fauna from the Yucatan Peninsula. Recent and on-going investigations have focused on the documentation, sampling, and partial recovery of select specimens for description and analysis. Of particular interest are bears of the genus Tremarctos, a yet unnamed megalonychid ground sloth, cougars (Puma concolor),...

Longstanding questions about the main house at Ash Lawn-Highland prompted a Phase I archaeological study of the plantation’s domestic core and adjacent hilltop in 2014. This work revealed an area of interest just east of and adjacent to the 1870s wing. Phase II testing of this area in 2015 identified a substantial masonry foundation with partial basement. Associated material culture suggests that the structure dates to the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The projected architectural...

This paper will discuss the results of the archaeological investigations that were conducted as part of the establishment of a platted reburial area at Mission San Juan. The discovery of human remains during the stabilization and restoration of the Mission San Juan church led to a creative partnership between the Archdiocese of San Antonio and the National Park Service to provide a respectful reburial area that complied with the Texas Health and Safety Code, and did not compromise the integrity...

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. Four years of archaeological investigations have now been conducted by the University of West Florida at the site of the port settlement established by Tristán de Luna y Arellano on Pensacola Bay in 1559, and devastated by the loss of...

In 2015 the National Park Service and the City of St. Louis initiated a major redesign and renovation of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial; home of the Gateway Arch.  The memorial is located on the site of the French colonial 18th century village of St. Louis which later in the 19th century developed into the commercial hub of the city.  Due to the continued growth of the city throughout the 19th century as well as the destruction and redevelopment following the Great Fire of 1849 and...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In April of 1972, during the construction of a new home, a considerable number of pre-historic and 17th century historic artifacts were uncovered. James Deetz, then assistant director of Plimoth Plantation, was contacted, and excavations soon began. Deetz and his fellow researchers eventually put forth the opinion that they had found the remains of the lost homesite of Isaac...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recent investigations at 41AN162, sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation, exposed and documented several features associated with Caddo ceramics in an upland, non-aggrading landform. Historic-period plowing and extensive bioturbation has resulted in substantial reworking of site sediments and associated archaeological remains. However,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this poster, we present the preliminary findings on recent fieldwork at the Musgrove Shell Ring. Due to the ring’s low topography and dense vegetation coverage, archaeologists did not identify the ring prior to the review of new LIDAR data, which showed an anomaly approximately 60 m in diameter. Fieldwork consisted of a shell density survey and multiple...

In 1981, the archaeological staff of Historic St. Mary’s City began a period of intensive survey designed to uncover portions of the 17th-century city. Ultimately their efforts revealed the city’s historic core, an intersection at the beating heart of early Maryland governance. One of the anchors of the town’s center was the Leonard Calvert House. Home to the colony’s first (and later third) governor, the Calvert House was one of the largest wooden structures in colonial Maryland that at varying...

During the recent field season in Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, and off the Golden Gate entrance near San Francisco Bay, several new shipwrecks were discovered. They included the passenger steamship S.S. City of Rio de Janeiro, referred to as the "Titanic of the Golden Gate" due to the high loss of life and the passenger steamship S.S. City of Chester also lost near the Golden Gate after a collision with the steamship RMS Oceanic. Off Point Reyes, the Norwegian tramp...
