In 2006 the authors embarked on a multiyear project to find, define, and interpret the July 12, 1780 Battle of Huck's Defeat, or Williamson's Plantation.  At the time, the battlefield was popularly understood to be a mile from its actual location.  Through historic document research, systematic metal detecting, the application of KOCOA, and other military analyses, the battlefield and battle episodes were located and defined. That, however, was not the end of the story.  Today, the battlefield...

On the frigid morning of 29 January 1863 the California Volunteers under the command of Patrick Connor attacked the Shoshone village at Bia Ogoi in response to ongoing hostilities between whites and Native groups.  The result was the death of at least 250 Shoshone, many of them women and children, and 21 soldiers.  Over the course of the past 150 years extensive landscape modification has occurred from both natural and human agents obscuring the events of this fateful day.  A major focus of a...

In May 1962, trucks and moving vans pulled into an African American community known as "Little Egypt" in northeast Dallas, Texas.  Within a single day, the residents were packed up and moved out. Bulldozers swept in, making way for a commercial center, leaving little trace of the previous occupants. Who were they?  Where did they go? What was their story? In 2015, Dr. Tim Sullivan (Anthropology) and Dr. Clive Siegle(History) of  Richland College (Dallas County Community College),  combined their...

This is an abstract from the "Canine Resources for the Archaeologist" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout the American South, it is not uncommon for historical African American cemeteries and burial sites to possess little to no written records, complicating preservation efforts. Since 2010, researchers and students at Western Carolina University, in cooperation with Martin Archaeology Consulting, have utilized human remains detection (HRD)...

Los Angeles’ first public cemetery (1850-1890) was excavated over a decade ago by archaeologists during construction for a new high school. With no remaining headstones, identification of remains solely through archaeological data was impossible. However, combined with genealogical research, the study resulted in the identification of two little girls remaining in the cemetery—Lulu and Annie Jenkins. Last year, a journal surfaced belonging to their uncle, Charles Jenkins, a civil war veteran,...

During the past three years the New Acadia Project has surveyed portions of the Teche Ridge in search of the original home sites and...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution”: Identifying and Understanding Early Historic-Period House Sites" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Development projects on forested or open land are usually amenable to traditional soil assessments using small-diameter, hand-powered augers. These projects generally present little difficulty in archaeological testing and can be effectively assessed using systematic shovel test pit...
