Revisiting Parting Ways Forty Years Later: Some Research Challenges and Successes (2015)
Nearly 30,000 18th- and 19th-century artifacts were recovered during the excavation of the small African American community of Parting Ways in Plymouth, Massachusetts by James Deetz beginning in 1975. The artifacts are currently housed at the Massachusetts Historical Commission in Boston. Original interpretations attributed all the artifacts to the late 18th- and 19th-century African American occupation of the site, but subsequent research indicated that Parting Ways was occupied in the middle...
Revisiting Past Excavations: An In-Depth Look at Feature B7 from the African Meeting House, Boston, MA (2015)
This paper analyzes a pit feature that was identified during a 1984 excavation in the basement of the African Meeting House, located in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood. Full excavation of the feature followed in 1986; however, complete analysis of the resulting artifact collection was not possible at the time. Predating the construction of the prominent African Meeting House, the feature is likely the privy of Augustin Raillion, a hairdresser who occupied a house at 44 Joy Street with two...

Revisiting Root Cellars at The Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee. (2018)
The Hermitage, a plantation owned by Andrew Jackson near Nashville, Tennessee, has been the site of archaeological investigations since the 1970s. Much of this work has focused on the large enslaved community living at the site, with the study of the remnants of their dwellings a key element of this research. Sub-floor storage pits, generally referred to as root cellars, have been found at nine Hermitage slave dwelling locations. These features are present in all three of the separate quartering...

Revisiting the Depopulation of the Northern Southwest with Dendrochronology: A Changing Perspective with New Dates from Cedar Mesa (2023)
This is an abstract from the "Research, Education, and American Indian Partnerships at the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The depopulation of ancestral Pueblo people from the northern Southwest has been a fascination of archaeologists for decades. Using a suite of social and environmental models, scholars have attempted to explain the processes that led tens of thousands of people to vacate hundreds of...
Revisiting the Function of Humboldt Points: Reflections from the Late Prehistoric Hackney Site in Mariposa County, California (2018)
CA-MRP-283, the Hackney Site, is a late prehistoric/protohistoric site in Mariposa County, California. Excavated by California State University, Los Angeles in 1972, the flaked-stone assemblage includes debitage, projectile points, and flake tools. A reanalysis of the debitage shows that late stage biface production, expedient flake-tool production, and the production, repair, and replacement of projectile points were all common activities at the Hackney site. A recent analysis of the projectile...
Revisiting the Highbourne Cay Shipwreck Site: Research Potential, Conservation in situ, and the future of Bahamian Material Culture (2015)
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...
Revisiting the Rubber-Sided Museum: A Case Study in Collections-Based Research (2018)
Archaeological repositories abound in significant but overlooked collections. This paper presents a case study based in one such collection: the Hendricks-Hodge Expedition to the ancestral Zuni pueblo of Hawikku, NM (1917-1923), which accumulated 25,000 artifacts now in the NMAI, many remaining unstudied. Drawing on current interdisciplinary research into its seventeenth-century Spanish mission, this paper considers challenges of extracting new interpretations from older collections. Research...

Revolution or Fad: Perspectives on Community Engagement in Archaeology (2020)
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...
The Revolution Will Not Be Analyzed Here: Knocking the Cooper River Strawberry Vessel Shipwreck Out Of The American Revolution With Metallurgical Analysis Of Hull Sheathing (2020)
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...
Revolutionary Households: Archaeology at the Hacienda San Miguel Acocotla (2013)
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...
The Revolutionary Quash (2020)
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...
