This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Seminole Wars of the nineteenth century were critically important in establishing the modern Tribal identity of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the consequences of the conflict reverberate throughout the community today. Yet relatively little archaeological work has been done to study the small military engagements that characterized the Third Seminole War (1855-1858) in south...
A "Home in the Country:" Material Life at the House of the Good Shepherd Orphanage, Tomkins Cove, New York (2016)
In 2014, the Public Archaeology Laboratory conducted archaeological excavations at the former House of the Good Shepherd orphanage in Tomkins Cove, New York. Over 4,000 domestic and structural artifacts were found at the site, offering glimpses into its nineteenth-century orphanage history as well as its use as a Fresh Air Association summer retreat during the twentieth century. Although small, the nineteenth-century artifact assemblage reflects the life of the orphans who lived there. Current...
Home Space: Mobility and Movement in the Creation of a Working-class Urban Landscape (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boxed but not Forgotten Redux or: How I Learned to Stop Digging and Love Old Collections" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Historical archaeologists often interpret artifacts through the lens of household and family as the location for the development of practice and identity. Economic uncertainty for working-class households in historic urban contexts, however, meant that some families moved as many as...
Homeland: An Archaeologist’s View of Yellowstone Country’s Past (2006)
J. Whittaker: Nice personalized illustrated narrative of Montana prehistory. Anzick Clovis site frequently referred to. Lithic archaeology includes projectile point chronology, knapping discussion featuring work of Ray Alt, Bonnichsen. Shoshone legend of how coyote stole knapping knowledge from wolf. Experiments with bow (Alt) and atlatl leave them skeptical of ability to distinguish points by size, and of penetrating ability of atlatl dart. [Stories about effectiveness of bow and arrow, and...
Homestake Aqueduct: Bringing Water to Mines and Mills in the Black Hills (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. The Homestake Aqueduct (39LA2057) in Lawrence County, South Dakota is a pipeline constructed by the Homestake Mining Company to transfer water from Spearfish Creek to the mines and mills of the Lead-Deadwood area. This predominately subterranean system was likely started in 1879 and...
Homestead-Era (ca. 1887-1942) Subsistence on the Pajarito Plateau, New Mexico (2018)
Beginning in the 1880s, Hispanic- and Euro-American homesteaders expanded onto the Pajarito Plateau in northern New Mexico. While journals and documentary accounts from visitors and descendants provide insight into the everyday livelihood of these farmers and ranchers, few studies have investigated their shared experience based on examination of physical remains. In this zooarchaeological analysis we identify and quantify the animal remains from several homesteader cabin sites at Los Alamos...
Homosocial Bonding in the Brothel: Analyzing Space and Material Culture through Documents (2016)
Brothel madams were often responsible for managing their establishments and the women who lived and worked in them. Unsurprisingly, "female boarding houses," the euphemism often used for such sites on historic maps, have typically been gendered as female spaces. On the other hand, saloons tend to be thought of as male spaces despite the presence of prostitution in most of these businesses. This paper will begin to argue that a rethinking of space and gender in regards to brothels will provide...
Honing an Integrated Approach to Geoarchaeological Research in Alluvial Environments of the Lower Ohio River Valley (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Identification and interpretation of buried cultural deposits in alluvial settings is improved by an integrated approach that considers the area at an appropriate scale in line with prehistoric land use; applies key underlying concepts; and utilizes multiple methodologies of subsurface investigation, laboratory analysis, and environmental modeling. Success at...

Hopewellian Meteoric Iron Use: An Experimental Approach for Exploring Production and Function (2023)
This is an abstract from the "From Hard Rock to Heavy Metal: Metal Tool Production and Use by Indigenous Hunter-Gatherers in North America" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Hopewell artisans were innovative and highly skilled craftspeople, demonstrating proficiency with a wide variety of exotic materials, including meteoric iron. Here we explore the material properties of this unique raw material in terms of production and possible function. In this...

This is an abstract from the "Monumental Surveys: New Insights from Landscape-Scale Geophysics" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Monumental timber post circles or "woodhenges" are ancient and enduring elements in the ritual landscapes of Native North America. Examples are known from as much as 3500 years ago at Poverty Point; from 2400 years ago in Adena ceremonial contexts in the Ohio Valley; from 1000 years ago at Cahokia; and in contemporary use...

"A Horrible Quantity of Stuff": The Untapped Potential of Northeast Region NPS Collections (2016)
All archeological material found on National Park lands must be curated and cared for in perpetuity, though often very little funding is designated for this purpose. This has led to an enormous backlog of artifacts and records in almost every park. For the last 15 years, the Northeast Museum Services Center has been providing cataloging services to National Park Service units in the Northeast Region. In that time, we have recovered an incredible amount of data about the NHPA-generated archeology...
Horse Culture and English Customs: The Importance of the Saddle Horse in 18th-Century English Colonies (2013)
Research into the origin of horse furniture found in colonial assemblages in Maryland has revealed new information about the predominance of saddle horses for travel there. English Customs records from 1697 to 1770 illustrate that more bridles and saddles of English manufacture were imported to Maryland and Virginia than to any other English colony in the New World, indicating that saddle horses may have been far more important in the Chesapeake than in other English colonies. This paper looks...
