Prioritizing the Concretions from Queen Anne’s Revenge for Conservation: A Case Study in Managing a Large Collection (2016)
In the ongoing excavation of archaeological site 31CR314 (Blackbeard’s flagship Queen Anne’s Revenge), approximately 3,000 concretions have been raised as of Fall 2014. With a plan for complete recovery, and considering that an estimated 60% of the site has been excavated so far, over 5,000 concretions could eventually be recovered. With the substantial amount of conservation to be done and only 2 full-time conservators, a plan for how to proceed through the collection was needed. Over the...

The Private Side of Victorian Mourning Practices in 19th-century New England: The Cole’s Hill Memorial Cache (2018)
Excavated from Cole’s Hill in downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts, a cache comprising of a collection of 19th century personal adornment artifacts, daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and organic materials, potentially provides an alternative view of mourning and memorialization practices in Victorian-era New England. The associated artifacts possess characteristics indicative of Victorian mourning symbols and material types. However, no other current examples of this mourning practice exist in the...
Privy to the Past: Refuse Disposal on Alexandria’s 18th Century Waterfront (2017)
While the discovery of an 18th century ship on the site captivated the media and public….just a few feet away we quietly worked to excavate another exciting find…a public privy. The large privy, one of four uncovered at the site, was located fifteen feet from the 1755 Carlyle warehouse, and is thought to be associated with this first public warehouse in Alexandria. Thousands of seeds, ceramics, glass, shoes and other unique finds provide a window into the lives of these early residents that...

The Problem of the Atlatl (1940)
J. Whittaker: “additional lever or toggle-joint by means of which comination the propulsive force applied to the spearshaft is greatly increased.” “We have scratched the surface of an intriguing field of research....and prolific literature.” [Already! and mentions experiments - personal? - but no descriptions]. Problems: origins, symbolic significance. Green River sites, Webb’s conclusions about bannerstones which he regards as from poor analogy to Guernsey + Kidders SW atlatls which had only...
Problematic at Best: Assigning Sex to Prehistoric Remains with Consistency (2018)
Historically, the sex of prehistoric human skeletal remains has been visually assessed by researchers who are (hopefully) knowledgeable about the population being examined. However, methods of assigning sex can be largely subjective and often lead to inconsistent results. In this study, we consider human skeletal remains from the Medio period (A.D. 1200–1475) from Paquimé, a site in northern Chihuahua, Mexico, that was the economic and political center of the Casas Grandes region. The sexes of...

Procession and Sacred Landscape (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Sacred Southwestern Landscapes: Archaeologies of Religious Ecology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The idea of a sacralized landscape is popularly associated with site-specific Native American religious beliefs and practices, but a landscape and its features can have religious meaning for other people as well. This paper examines the northern New Mexican folk-Catholic tradition of religious procession. Processions...
Production and Consumption in the Old West: Examining Cottage Industry and Diet at the Nate Harrison Site (2018)
A life-long laborer, Nate Harrison engaged in many industrious activities during his time on Palomar Mountain in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Using historical, photographic, and archaeological evidence, this paper aims to analyze and evaluate the different industries in which Harrison participated and the significance of these activities for the local community. Soil-chemistry studies, faunal analyses, and various archaeologically-uncovered tools present a robust portrait of activity and...
Productive Partnerships: How Municipal Cultural Resource Management (CRM) Programs and Student Research Can Support Each Other (2016)
For decades, Cultural Resource Management (CRM) projects have yielded a wealth of information and artifacts. While some of these projects have been incorporated into academic research, many remain unstudied and unpublished. The situation is especially problematic in municipal and small-scale archaeology programs that are constrained by time, logistics, and budgetary considerations. Fortunately, students are in a prime position to help remedy the issue by working with such programs. The...

Programme to Practice: Public Archaeology Is Feminist Archaeology (2018)
Margaret Conkey and Joan Gero published "Programme to Practice: Gender and Feminism in Archaeology" in 1997 to underscore the ways feminist critiques of science could transform the practice of archaeology. In this paper, we argue that their feminist critique profoundly shaped the practice of public archaeology. We explore the nature of scientific inquiry, multivocality, politics and collaborative forms of knowledge production, and the necessity of making interpretations more meaningful as...
