Presently, no detailed distribution map of the full scope of prehistoric procurement activities in the Crescent Hills area exists. The Crescent Hills area near St. Louis, Missouri is synonymous with high-quality Burlington chert. This paper presents data gathered from a preliminary survey of procurement activity preserved in the Tyson Research Center. The spatial data within a Geographic Information System allows researchers to study the relationship between geologic context, occurrence, and...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Technologies and Public Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeologists using digital tools for outreach often face a specific set of challenges. Many organizations are working within low-resource environments, having small (or no) technology budgets or very restrictive I.T. policies. Archaeological information itself can be sensitive. Disclosure of specific locations can expose sites to...

The eastern Caribbean islands of Barbados and Martinique, formerly British and French colonies, early developed into lucrative sugar-producing territories. Despite the harsh labor demands of plantation slavery on both islands, during their free time, particularly over the weekends, slaves participated in insular domestic economies. This involved activities (e.g., small-scale farming, fishing, collecting wild foods and animals, craft production) whose products were consumed by households or...

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries wealthy American households relied on domestic labor for the running of the home. In the Northeast, this labor was provided by European immigrants, who often moved from job to job seeking better opportunities. While in the South, African Americans continued to perform the same work many had performed under slavery, often staying in the same geographical region as their family and former owners.  In Northern Virginia, these two forms of domestic labor...

The archaeology of childhood has developed over the past two decades, however the full depth of this field of study has not been explored. Prior to the late 1800s, over half the population of the United States was under the age of 20. Toys and artifacts associated with children are often overlooked and marginalized in the archaeological record. It is through children that culture is taught, altered, and created. Childhood is a period of time when personhood is malleable and can be influenced....

In October 1948, 19 residents of the Pennsylvania town of Donora died due to industrial air pollution. Another fifty residents would die over the following weeks and several hundred more would battle lung ailments for the remainder of their lives. This particular air pollution – a combination of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and fluorine – originated from a smelting plant situated within U.S. Steel’s Donora Zinc Works that made zinc used in galvanizing steel wire products. This paper aims to...

When dealing with the conservation of artifacts from archaeological contexts, one often focuses on a few special artifacts. This is often because there isn’t the time, money, or even simply enough artifacts to require looking at the larger conservation picture. Along Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site’s waterfront, a multitude of organic and inorganic artifacts, including ceramics, glass, wood, leather, and textiles, have been recovered. As a result, the conservation needs of whole...

In the early 1980s, archaeologists surveying the northern yard of the Leonard Calvert house (c. 1635) in Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC) uncovered small segments of a wide, gently curving fence trench that offered more questions than answers. Nearly 30 years later, over the course of multiple field school seasons, HSMC archaeologists explored more of the curious feature and revealed what appears to have been an oval-shaped fence with a single post at its center. Initial interpretation has...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Pierce Hichborn House (PHH), a historical home in the North End of Boston, has experienced transformations throughout its long history of occupation. Initially, the property was a single family home, before transitioning to a tenement building in the 19th century. Feature 7 of the PHH site, with a presumed date range of late 17th to early 20th century, manifests a blend of...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. After 20 years of excavation on the Fort St. Joseph floodplain where archaeological evidence of six structures has been found, Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project investigators turned their attention to exploring the southern boundary of the site. There are no known historical documents or maps that detail the extent of the fort, highlighting the significance of this research...

A significant portion of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA)'s unresolved loss cases involve incidents that occurred over water, at sea, or otherwise within a body of water.  In the context of underwater forensic archaeology, addressing these cases require a complex process of historical and archival research; large-scale GIS analysis; investigation and correlation with known incidents; and site search, survey, and recovery activities to the extent possible.  The end goal is to recover...

Among the building remains uncovered during JMA’s 2014 excavations of the site of Philadelphia's new Museum of the American Revolution were sections of the granite foundations of the famous Jayne Building. This building had been called an "ante-bellum skyscraper" by Charles Peterson, who rallied to save it from demolition in the 1950s. A century earlier, the construction of this substantial building had significantly altered its neighborhood and may have also influenced the later architecture...
