The Warwick Plain Scale: An Early Seventeenth-Century Navigational Instrument (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael J Gilbart.

One of the most intriguing artifacts recovered from the Warwick, is a wooden, mathematical instrument called a plain or ‘plaine’ scale. Plain scales were small, wooden instruments used by ships in the early-17th century. The plain scale allowed pilots and navigators to determine a ship’s position with dividers and the graduated markings on the scale. This paper examines the history of plain scales, the use of the plain scale for navigational and astronomical purposes, and how the Warwick...

"Washington Began To Make The Highways Around Philadelphia So Unsafe With Parties From His Fortified Camp:" The Strategic Importance Of The Valley Forge Winter Encampment—A Historical, Archaeological, And Landscape Perspective (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jesse A West-Rosenthal.

The now infamous site of the Valley Forge winter encampment consists of the location where roughly 12,000 soldiers of the Continental Army camped during the winter of 1777-1778. Valley Forge is located just twenty miles northwest of Philadelphia. This position enabled the Continental Army to be close enough to the city to maintain pressure on the occupying British forces as well as being far enough away in a high-ground position just outside the city to avoid the immediate threat of attack....

Washington's Board of Public Works and the Burial of Herring Hill in Georgetown, District of Columbia (An Archaeology of Municipal Infrastructure). (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Palus.

A dramatic investment in the infrastructure of Georgetown followed the establishment of a single municipal government for the City of Washington in 1871, and the abolishment of Georgetown’s charter as an independent municipality. Establishing new street grades in this context resulted in the near-burial of homes in an African-American section of Georgetown called Herring Hill, which became an unofficial dump for fill excavated during infrastructure work. Beginning in February 2011, The District...

Water and Wood Landings can leave a Mark: Ship Graffiti as Evidence of Visitation to Cocos Island, Costa Rica (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jason, T. Raupp. Omar Fernández López. Annie Wright.

With the rounding of Cape Horn in the late eighteenth century, pelagic whalers forever altered the landscape of the Pacific Ocean. The vast whale populations they found led to an exponential growth in ships exploiting the rich hunting grounds and exploring for sources of fresh food, water, and firewood. Locations of islands offering reprovisioning opportunities spread among whalers and visits were incorporated into seasonal movements. One such place that became well known for abundant sources...

Water At Montpelier: Creating And Controlling A 19th Century Plantation Landscape (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica G Moses.

In the early 19th century, James Madison's plantation in Orange County, VA was undergoing a number of dramatic changes as the house and grounds were extensively modified. At some point during this period, an unusually complex water supply system was constructed in what is now called the South Yard, an area near the main house where enslaved families lived and worked. This paper examines the evidence for this system, along with other water sources within the formal grounds, to consider not only...

Water Wars: The St. Francis Dam Disaster and Resource Competition in the American West (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Snead. Ann Stansell.

Euro-American experience in the western states has been profoundly shaped by the fight for resources, among which water ranks extremely high. Traditional histories of such struggles focus on policy, macroeconomics, and large-scale social transformation. Historical archaeology, in contrast, offers the opportunity to emphasize the quotidian manifestations of these conflicts, particularly as they shaped the lives (and deaths) of local residents. Current fieldwork conducted by California State...

"The Water Was Let into the Pipes and Conveyed into the Town…": Wells, Chamber Pots, and Municipal Water in 19th Century Alexandria, VA (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kara J Wheeler.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Plumbing and sanitation were major health concerns for people during the 19th century. Inadequate sanitation practices caused an increased risk of disease and illness, especially in densely populated areas. Outbreaks of disease, such as the cholera outbreak in 1832, spread quickly, particularly in a port city such as Alexandria, VA where ships carrying goods might also be harboring...

This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Waterlogged textiles are a wealth of information in a very fragile package. Myriad studies have been conducted to determine appropriate conservation techniques. This poster provides a review of suggested conservation techniques and includes an analysis of those techniques that are most effective with respect to a sample’s color,...

The Waters Around You Have Grown: Discovering Staten Island's Past through Protecting its Future (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only A. Michael Pappalardo.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Heritage at Risk: Shifting Responses from Reactive to Proactive" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Located at the tip of the New York Bight, Staten Island suffered more direct damage from Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge than any other NYC borough. In response, the Living Breakwaters Project calls for a series of house-sized concrete blocks strategically placed offshore to reduce wave energy, promote calm water,...

The Way Forward: Native and Non-Native Collaboration as well as Multi-disciplinary Research Strategies (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas Sheridan. Stewart B. Koyiyumptewa.

As Native peoples assert their sovereignty over intellectual property as well as land and water, relationships between them and anthropologists are entering a new era characterized by collaboration as well as conflict. Ethical anthropologists in North America recognize that they need to secure tribal/First Nations permission for their research. Sometimes permission is granted only for projects of interest to the tribes themselves. And sometimes publication of that research for a wider audience...

Way Hay and Up She Rises: The Recovery, Conservation, and Documentation of a Historic Admiralty Anchor from the Gulf of Mexico (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John R. Bratten. Christopher Horrell.

In 2013, a historic anchor was recovered from the Gulf of Mexico by a contractor working for an offshore energy operator. Because the operator failed to notify the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) of the discovery, the operator was in violation of regulations protecting submerged archaeological resources. A compromise was reached between the bureau and the operator resulting in the transportation of the anchor to the University of West Florida (UWF) for conservation and...
