Grave Identification Survey Fort Lee Adams Roundabout, Prince George County, Virginia (2010)
This investigation addressed the location of an unmarked cemetery on property currently owned by Prince George County, adjacent to U.S. Army Fort Lee Military Reservation in eastern Virginia. Historical research indicated that the burial ground was associated with the laboring Sisters of the Vine Burial Association who used it as a cemetery in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Open, wooded, paved and wet conditions in the roughly 1.3-acre project required the use of...
Great House Formation: Agricultural Intensification, Balanced Duality, and Communal Enterprise at Mitchell Springs (2021)
Mitchell Springs provided the central Montezuma Valley of southwestern Colorado a rare and reliable water source that has been used by ancients for millennia. People began to settle near the springs in the middle of the AD seventh century and by the twelfth century a sprawling watershed-wide community with large-scale architectural and agricultural works had formed. Using a combination of data from surveys and recent excavations, this article explores the ties between the rise of elite...

Ground Penetrating Radar Investigation Phase I Testing of the Parade Ground, Phase II Testing of Locus 3 and Continental Par, Fort Monroe/Historic Fort George, Fort Monroe, Virginia 23651 (2004)
Numerous potential features have been interpreted from GPR data and time-depth slice images. While most of the targets identified are likely attributed to Fort Monroe activities, there is a strong possibility that some of these GPR targets are from historic Fort George. At the Continental Park - Locus 3 Site, a linear feature observed north of Fenwick Street, trending parallel to, and about 13 feet north of, the sidewalk, appears to be more characteristic of a brick wall or wall foundation,...
