The Kawich Range is considered one of the least explored and most pristine mountain ranges in the Great Basin, part of 3.1 million acres withdrawn from public access in 1940s by the Department of Defense. Dames & Moore, under contract to Prewitt & Associates, was selected by Nellis Air Force Base to perform archaeological inventory and recordation of a 5,000-acre sample of the Kawich Range. The three phases of this project include: (1) preparation of a predictive model and research design; (2)...

Keeping It Local: Looking Inward at the Land Grant Community of San José de las Huertas (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Hill People: New Research on Tijeras Canyon and the East Mountains" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Founded in 1765 in the foothills northeast of Albuquerque, San José de las Huertas was the byproduct of Spanish imperial policy and the aims of largely landless families and a category of people known as genízaros to make better lives for themselves. The crafting of this community, and its accompanying identity, amidst a...
Keeping the Light: Lighthouse Keepers, Status, and the St. Augustine Lighthouse (2018)
In 1874 a new lighthouse tower was completed in St. Augustine, Florida to replace an older lighthouse imperiled by coastal erosion. A brick triplex constructed at the station in 1876 provided housing for light keepers and their families. From 1874 until 1889, Head Keeper William Harn and his family occupied the station, living in the Keepers’ House. Archaeology undertaken at the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum before, and during, construction work located a midden likely associated...
The Kentucky Ghost Ship and Ownership of Abandoned Watercraft (2018)
Circle Line V, previously known as Celt, USS Phenakite, USS Sachem, and Sightseer, and colloquially known as the "Kentucky Ghost Ship", is a grounded vessel off the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky that has become a popular attraction with kayakers and hikers. In addition to its striking appearance, the site is popular due to its reported history. Designed as a private yacht, it subsequently served in both World Wars, as a research vessel for Thomas Edison, and even as the backdrop in a Madonna...
"Kept on the Run": Urban Erasures in Essex County, NJ (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Urban Erasures and Contested Memorial Assemblages" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Essex County in northern New Jersey experienced dramatic urban development and change in the second half the 20th century. Essex is home to Newark, New Jersey’s largest city, as well as 21 other municipalities that range from poor and densely packed cities to affluent and amenity-rich suburbs. This paper examines how urban spaces are...

Kids in the Trenches: Women as Mothers and Professionals in Archaeology (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Women’s Work: Archaeology and Mothering" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In many STEM and academic settings being a woman with children can be seen as a liability to her progress in her field. While men are praised for being academics and fathers, mothers are routinely penalized in terms of their pay, ability to participate in professional conferences, advancement in the field, and publication rates. We...
Kill Holes in Context: A Study of Kill Holes in Prehispanic Southwest New Mexico (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mimbres Classic Black-on-white is the hallmark of the Mimbres Classic period (A.D. 1000-1130) in prehispanic Southwest New Mexico. Bowls from this region are often marked by an interesting practice where holes, called kill holes, are punched out of the bottom. Kill holes are found across sites in the Mimbres archaeological region, however, little statistical...

King Philip's War: America's Forgotten War (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The historiography of King Philip’s War, (1675-1676), was, like most history, written largely from the viewpoint of the victors; in this case, the New England Confederation of English colonists. Primary sources generally point to Metacom (referred to by the colonists as King Philip) as the aggressor in the conflict, and almost universally put Metacom’s forces, and even “praying Indians”...
Kiska: Alaska’s Underwater Battlefield (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In July 2018 members of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Delaware spent two weeks conducting an exploratory remote-sensing survey to locate and document WWII-era submerged archaeological sites in the waters off Kiska Island, Alaska, one of the last and most remote islands in the Aleutian chain. The often-forgotten Aleutian campaign was the sole WWII campaign...
Kitchen Space in the Wing of Offices at Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest (2018)
The Wing of Offices at Poplar Forest was excavated over the course of several years in the late 1980s and 1990s. Originally consisting of a kitchen, smokehouse, and possible laundry and storage spaces, subsequent owners of the property tore down the Wing and replaced it with two outbuildings. The re-analysis of kitchen related materials has demonstrated patterns of refuse disposal reflecting both the use of the space during Jefferson’s lifetime and the later occupation. Relationships to other...

The Knight’s Tomb (2018)
In 1901, archaeologists excavating the 1617 Jamestown church uncovered a large black ledger stone engraved with the silhouette of knight in armor. The stone held evidence for once having monumental brasses inscribed with the deceased’s identity, coat of arms, and death date, yet these have never been recovered. Now, over a century after its discovery, recent archaeological investigations and research have revealed new clues confirming the identity of this interred individual. This paper outlines...
