The Highbourne Cay Shipwreck, found in the Exumas, Bahamas, is the most intact example of a ‘Ship of Discovery’ in the world. The identity and purpose are still unknown, yet a recent, non-intrusive visit to the site recorded no obvious signs of damage to the ballast mound. Because the site has been disturbed and re-covered on two documented occasions, valuable reflexive questions can be asked decades later regarding the effectiveness of conservation in situ. Soon, the Bahamas will be lifting...

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Paleolandscape Investigations in the Gulf of Mexico" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Over 40 years ago Coastal Environments Inc. pioneered a phased approach to identify prehistoric occupations on the now submerged outer continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. This work homed in on a target in the Paleo-Sabine Valley and identified one of the first in situ, submerged prehistoric sites known in the Americas....

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For several decades the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation (JYF) has run an immersive living history museum with a re-created Powhatan Indian town on the grounds of the Jamestown Settlement. Based on the nearby archaeological site of Paspahegh, a pre- and post-contact Powhatan town site, the material culture used by the interpretive staff has been driven almost exclusively by archaeological...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Community Archaeology in 2020: Conventional or Revolutionary?" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the last twenty years community engagement has become more prominent if not mainstream in archaeology, perhaps to the point that our concept of community archaeology has become generalized. In this paper I will examine the concept of community archaeology, its theoretical underpinnings as activist archaeology...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since its discovery by sport divers in the Cooper River near Charleston, South Carolina during the 1970s, the Strawberry Vessel shipwreck was believed to represent the remains of a British gunboat lost in 1781, however XRF and SEM analysis of hull sheathing samples recovered from the wreck in 2018 suggests the Strawberry Vessel was constructed no earlier than 1810. In light of these...

With the signing of the Treaty of Cordoba in 1821, Spain formerly recognized Mexico as an independent nation. As identity shifted from colony to country, processes of modernization accelerated and rural households were transformed. These transformations led to increased attacks on the traditional structures of home life, family, and community, attacks that ultimately erupted in the rural uprisings associated with the Central Mexican experience of the Mexican Revolution. Drawing on...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This is the story of one small man with huge responsibilities. Quash was one of Butler’s enslaved people on Little St Simons Island, Georgia during the antebellum period. Even under the thumb of overseer Roswell King, Quash managed to gain his own form of autonomy, lived in his own house that was much larger than a traditional slave dwelling, on his own island. During the spring of...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2019, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (NMAH) hosted international experts in shipwreck timber conservation to consult on the long-term stabilization and preservation of the Revolutionary War gunboat Philadelphia. The gondola sank at the Battle of Valcour Island in Lake Champlain on 11 October 1776 and was raised in 1935. It is the oldest surviving American...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Medieval to Modern Transitions and Historical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Numerous farmsteads were established in Iceland's highland margins and back valleys during the late 9th and early 10th centuries, as part of the rapid process of settlement across the island. Many of these marginal farms were deserted sometime between the 11th and early 16th centuries, only to be re-settled...

This is an abstract from the ""Re-excavating" Legacy Collections" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Army Corp of Engineers Mobile District funded excavations in Mississippi to salvage a number of Native American sites along the Tombigbee River from the construction of the Tennessee-Tombigbee River lock and dam complex. Three of these sites, Tibbee Creek (22Lo600), Kellogg (22Cl527), and Yarborough (22Cl814) are...

In 2017 the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission teamed up with the University of Rhode Island’s Applied History Laboratory to create a Geographic Information System (GIS) incorporating the state’s complex assortment of archaeological and historical sites. With support from the National Park Service, their objective is to collect and share the stories of Rhode Island through an effective and sustainable geospatial database of known archaeological sites and properties in...

Catoctin Mountain has always been a challenging landscape, but one that rewards perseverance. Native Americans negotiated its rocky slopes in search of rhyolite for stone tools, and hunted and camped along the freshwater streams and springs. Workers from the nearby Catoctin Iron Furnace burned its ample timber for charcoal to fuel the ironworks. Innovative farmers and homebuilders created flat terraces for their houses and gardens on the mountainside. During the Prohibition era, some of the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Advocacy in Archaeology: Thoughts from the Urban Frontier" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper sees heritage as a community resource to challenge racist urban planning policies in a historically African American neighborhood of Brooklyn. It examines this case through Ruth Wilson Gilmore's concept of abolitionist geography, which views urban space as an extension of enslavement and confinement. Urban...

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. Over a third of Lower Manhattan’s landmass is composed of fill contained within buried wharves, bulkheads, and other landfill retaining structures. Archaeological investigations have increasingly afforded opportunities to examine the construction methods used to build these early structures in New York City and elsewhere. This...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Prior to the Civil War both whites and free African-Americans were interred at Cedar Grove cemetery in New Bern, North Carolina. In 1914, the Jim Crow Era city fathers decided to remove 14 African American burials to the black cemetery three blocks away. A century later, a local reporter and a community activist joined forces to right the past wrong and return the burials to their...
