Laser Scanning as a Methodology for the Documentation and Interpretation of Archaeological Ships: A Case Study Using the 18th Century Ship from Alexandria, VA and the 18th Century Ship Found Below the World Trade Center in New York. (2018)
In January of 2016, the remains of an 18th century wooden ship were found during construction on the waterfront of Alexandria, VA. The ship was excavated and stored, and in June of 2017, the disarticulated timbers were shipped to the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University for documentation and conservation. To document the ship, each individual timber is laser-scanned, and the individual laser scans are being re-assembled in the nurbs 3-D modelling suite Rhinoceros 5. This...
Lasers and Pixels: Using Terrestrial LiDAR and Photogrammetry to Record Rock Art at the Polychrome site in Montezuma Canyon (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry are quickly becoming extremely useful tools for archaeologists. This is especially the case for documenting complex rock art panels that can be difficult to fully represent using traditional techniques constrained to 2D formats. In contrast, terrestrial LiDAR and photogrammetry provide a...
Last Call! One More For The Road: Dissertating With Existing Collections (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the pursuit of acquiring knowledge a common culture of archaeological practice of keeping everything poses critical issues. Materials, at times unanalyzed and certainly underutilized, sit in repositories collecting dust while taking space and requiring financial obligations. These...
The Last Schooners Project 2019 Pilot Season: the Katie Eccles (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Nuts and Bolts of Ships: The J. Richard Steffy Ship Reconstruction Laboratory and the future of the archaeology of Shipbuilding" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Last Schooners Project conducted its 2019 pilot season researching the ships and sailors which persisted in sailing commerce on the Great Lakes long after sail had been supplanted by steam, in what was one of the most important transitions...
The Last Spear Throwers (2006)
J. Whittaker: Hunting with Jimmy Okitkun on the Yukon delta, spearing seals with atlatl because in fresh water they sink if you shoot them. Spear of driftwood with ivory or brass harpoon. Chasing seal with motor boat, repeated throws up to 100 feet before success. Graphic shows “nuqaq” simple Arctic form with paddle handle, one hole for finger, ivory hook [much like the one I made]. [Nice article].
Lasting Legacies of the Hermitage Archaeology Program (2018)
With nearly 30 years of hindsight now available, my brief three years as archaeological field assistant at the Hermitage from 1988-1990 not only started what would become lifelong friendships with Larry McKee and Sam Smith, but also had significant and lasting impacts on how I approached the Middle Tennessee landscape, fieldwork, labwork, archival research, and archaeology in general over my career. Here, I will reflect on my personal "take away" from the distinctive methodological and...
The Late 1570s Manila Galleon Shipwreck in Baja California (2017)
Our fourteen Mexico-United States expeditions from 1999 to 2015 to a wreck site along the desert shore of Baja California, and study of contemporary documents, have enabled us to reconstruct the story of the earliest eastbound Manila galleon shipwreck. The results include dating the ship to the period 1574 through approximately 1578, recovering her history, and explaining her tragic fate. We have discovered lead sheathing with iron nails from her lower hull, large amounts of beeswax from her...
Late 17th-Century Demographic and Settlement Patterns Among Swedish Families in the Delaware Valley (2015)
Following Holland's takeover of the New Sweden colony in 1655, the Swedish communities along the Delaware River continued to grow and spread. A database of individuals and families based on historical and genealogical data opens a window on the demographics of the 17th-century Swedish settlements. The 1671 and 1693 Censuses of the Swedes on the Delaware list the names of each listed head of household who was a member of one of the Swedish Lutheran churches. Genealogists, particularly the late...
Late Archaic (San Pedro Phase) Occupation in Niagara Canyon, Chiricahua National Monument: Results of the 2017 UNM/NPS Excavations (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Partners at Work: Promoting Archaeology and Collaboration in the Chiricahua Mountains" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the summer of 2017 a joint crew of UNM/NPS researchers undertook test excavations at two Late Archaic loci within Niagara Canyon, a small watershed in the northwestern corner of Chiricahua National Monument. Located 0.6 kilometers from one another, both sites (CHIR00032 and CHIR00040) have yielded...
Late Archaic Maize in the Trans-Pecos of West Texas: Implications and Future Research (2021)
This is an abstract from the "The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The recovery of Late Archaic maize from the Trans-Pecos, peripheral to the American Southwest, adds to an expanding list of primary crop acquisition by foragers that occupied the arid region. The region, however, lacks clear demographic and settlement patterns diagnostic of this period from adjacent regions. Lacking key similarities, local...
The Late Holocene Geomorphic History of Montezuma Canyon and the Puebloan Agricultural Landscape (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Our study identified four depositional packages in our Montezuma Canyon study area, the older two of which formed the Ancestral Puebloan canyon bottom agricultural landscape. The older unit began accreting during the mid-Holocene and was formed by a meandering channel that periodically overflowed its banks, filling the...

Late Holocene Nearshore Marine Productivity, Climate Change, and Changing Sociopolitical Dynamics on California’s Northern Channel Islands (2024)
This is an abstract from the "AD 1150 to the Present: Ancient Political Economy to Contemporary Materiality—Archaeological Anthropology in Honor of Jeanne E. Arnold" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Understanding the social, political, and economic dynamics of coastal hunter-gatherer-fishers was a hallmark of Jeanne Arnold’s multi-decade archaeological research. Arnold integrated marine climate records and archaeological data to develop hypotheses...

J. Whittaker: Different bone/antler points replicated and tested on carcasses. Atlatl assumed, but crossbow used in controlled experiments.
Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Hispanic Communities in the Salt River Valley (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Historical Archaeologies of the American Southwest, 1800 to Today" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Comparison of archival and archaeological data from contract investigations of Hispanic residences and commercial loci provides an opportunity to investigate multiple strategies for economic survival in the Phoenix Basin. Late nineteenth century agricultural and urban settings are examined from Tempe and Phoenix to...

Over the last eight years, the Center for Big Bend Studies (CBBS) has investigated a number of Late Paleoindian thermal features in the Big Bend region of Texas. Excavation of these features and attendant laboratory analyses have provided new insights regarding hot rock cooking...
