Recent underwater archaeological research in El Salvador explores identity formation and consumption through an examination of material culture from a mid-19th century steamship wreck. Analyses of data from a circa 1860 shipwreck with remarkably well-preserved cargo allows insight into the consumption patterns involving both sumptuary and quotidian goods at a moment during the first decades of the Republic of El Salvador, founded in 1841. This transition from colony to republic saw dramatic,...
If a Picture is Worth a 1,000 words, How Much are GIS Coordinates Worth? The Use of Visual History, Oral History, and GIS Data to Define the McAdoo Plantation Home (2013)
In the mid- 19th century, General John David McAdoo operated a plantation in Washington County Texas. Dismantled in the 1960s, all that remains of the house are the stone pier foundations. During the summer of 2012, Texas Tech University excavated and mapped the stone piers using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The primary goal of these investigations was to document the layout and extent of the structure’s remains. Information about the house comes from both an oral interview and visual...
If It were Your Grandma: A Tribal Perspective on NAGPRA in Utah (2017)
In 1990, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was passed. The passing of NAGPRA was a huge step forward for indigenous rights; the law allowed tribes to decide the ultimate outcome of Native American burials found in any context on federal or tribal land. In Utah, there are also state laws that require similar standards of protection on private land. That being said, the repatriation process can be long and painful for many tribe members who are concerned with the...
If Walls Could Whisper: Tales from a Talus Room (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Despite its remoteness and the restricted access, there are very few standing structures on the Pajarito Plateau where Los Alamos National Laboratory now resides. One notable exception is Nake’muu Pueblo which was first built during the Coalition Period (A.D. 1225-1300). Pueblo de San Ildefonso oral history describes that Nake’muu was reoccupied following...
If You Are Not At the Table You Are On The Menu: How To Be An Advocate For Historical Archaeology In Today’s Political Environment (2018)
Given today’s political environment, we must all be advocates for historical archaeology. If we are not fully engaged in the political process, then we must live with the consequences resulting from our inaction. In this working session, you will learn the ins and outs of being an advocate for historical archaeology. After a review of the current threats to government-supported and mandated historical archaeology in the United States, we will break into small groups to discuss: How and where...

This is an abstract from the "If You Are Not at the Table You Are on the Menu: How to Be an Advocate for Historical Archaeology in Today’s Political Environment – Second Round" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This session was held at the 2018 SHA annual meeting. Given the continuing political environment, we felt the need to continue the discussion in 2019. As noted in 2018, we must all be advocates for historical archaeology. In this working...
If You Can’t Take The Heat: Archaeology Of A 1760s-1800 New Jersey Out Kitchen (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Once ubiquitous, out kitchens were set apart from dwellings to keep cooking fires away from the house during summer months. This separation ensured that uncontrolled fires did not spread to a family’s home. Out kitchens were places where people cooked -often women, clothing was cleaned, tended and mended, and quarter was given to apprentices and free and enslaved laborers....

Illegitimate Children, Single Parents, and Methodism in an African American Enclave in the Dominican Republic (2015)
In previous research on an African American enclave in Samaná, Dominican Republic baptism and marriage records have provided a wealth of information; this data has been looked at for marriage patterns within and beyond the confines of the community, naming practices, and even spatial information regarding where individuals lived. This paper, however, will begin a discussion on a component of these documents which has, to date, gone unexplored: legitimacy rates and the baptism of illegitimate...
Illicit Trade and the Rise of a Capitalistic Culture in the 17th-century Potomac River Valley: An Analysis of Imported Clay Tobacco Pipes. (2016)
Scholars disagree about the impact of English mercantilist and Dutch free trade policies on the development of the 17th-century British colonies in the mid-Atlantic region and many argue that because the Dutch were rarely mentioned in the records of Virginia or Maryland after 1660 and the passage of the Navigation Acts, Dutch merchants were absence from the colonies. However, my research, which draws on a close reading of the archaeological and historic record focusing on trade patterns,...
Illuminating Event-Based Significance at Three Rock Art Sites on Vandenberg AFB, CA (2018)
Although we now have highly technical equipment that allows analyses and observations of rock art in new ways, this should in no way diminish pursuing our personal sense of curiosity, ability to develop hypotheses out of hunches, and test those hypotheses as best we can, to discover layers of significance for a rock art site that no piece of equipment would ever be capable of detecting. One such area of inquiry is consideration of ephemeral, event-based ways rock art interplays with the...
(Illuminating the Lighthouse: An Historical and Archaeological Examination of the Causes and Consequences of Economic and Social Change at the Currituck Beach Light Station. (2017)
A "Light Station" is no mere beacon - it is a complex of changing buildings on a footprint that has altered considerably over time due to fluctuations in its management and the world that surrounds it. This project gathered historic and archaeological data in order to illuminate potential relationships between economic and social investment in lighthouse complexes, and enhance our understanding of the multitude of factors that drive the establishment and development of lighthouse communities....

Images on the Move: Archaic Rock Art of Northern New Mexico (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Northern Rio Grande History: Routes and Roots" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaic foragers represent one extreme of the relationship between routes and roots. There is a wealth of evidence in the US Southwest of the itinerant, ambulatory lifeways of ancient populations—impermanent campsites, lithic scatters near likely animal trails and watering holes, and the enigmatic rock art that appears along watercourses or...
Imagining and Analyzing Paths: Using Modern GIS Techniques to Identify Historical Trails (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Roads, Rivers, Rails and Trails (and more): The Archaeology of Linear Historic Properties" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since 2011, Alpine Archaeological Consultants, Inc. of Montrose, Colorado has documented a number of historic trails for the Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service (USFS). Most of our work has occurred on the Old Spanish (OST) and the Santa Fe National Historic...
Imagining Conformity: Consumption and Sameness in the Postwar African American Suburbs (2015)
In the wake of World War II many Americans settled in suburbs that have been persistently derided for their apparent social, material, and class homogeneity. This paper examines the African American experience of post-World War II suburbanization and the attractions of suburban life for African America. The paper examines an Indianapolis, Indiana subdivision that placed consumption at the heart of postwar citizenship. Rather than frame such suburban materiality simply as resistance to anti-Black...
Imagining the Black Landscape: The Materiality of Gentrification and African American Heritage (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. Most American cities like Indianapolis, Indiana have historically African American neighborhoods that are today distinguished by vacant spaces and ruination reflecting state demolition programs, displacement, and ill-conceived modernist construction. While much of the historical landscape has been razed, planners routinely invoke and...
