Assessing Environmental Impacts on Shipwreck Sites: Results & Lessons Learned from the 2009-2012 Gulf of Mexico Shipwreck Study (2013)
Shipwreck sites are subject to large scale oceanographic and environmental processes which can impact interpretation of the site as well as the stability of the wreck itself. Along the Outer Continental Shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico, alluvial deposits comprised of varying quantities of clays, silts, and sands dominate the seafloor. The movement of these deposits through both ongoing processes (such as currents and waves) and punctuated events (such as hurricanes) significantly impact...
Big Bangs and Little Bangs Mounds (12HU25 and 12HU26) 1964
The USACE, Louisville District obtained this collection through an archaeological test excavation at the Huntington Reservoir Project in 1964. Indiana University’s GBL was contracted to perform the fieldwork. Three mounds were excavated in the Huntington Reservoir on the Upper Wabash River, Huntington, Indiana. One was a small remnant of a mound (12HU27); the other two were semi-conical mounds (12HU25 and 12HU26) which did not contain burials. Of the three mounds located in the initial survey,...

EXAMINATION OF BULK SOIL AND DETRITAL CHARCOAL FOR RADIOCARBON DATABLE MATERIAL FROM SITES ALONG THE ARKANSAS RIVER, COLORADO (2004)
Nine sediment samples and twelve charcoal samples from sites along the Arkansas River in southern Colorado were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from river terraces adjacent to the Arkansas River between Pueblo Reservoir near Florence, Colorado, and Adobe Park just west of Salida, Colorado, for the Pueblo Dam Paleoflood Study. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable...
Excavation of Big Bangs and Little Bags Mounds, 1964 Huntington Reservoir Project, Huntington, Indiana (1964)
The excavation of three mounds in Huntington County, Indiana, on the Upper Wabash River was accomplished in 1964 under auspices of the National Park Service through a grant administered by Indiana University. The mounds, three of the twenty-four sites located in 1963 by John Dorwin during the preliminary archaeological survey of the Huntington Reservoir, were located on the property of Mrs. C.W.H. Bangs, resident of Huntington, Indiana. Permission was obtained for the necessary excavation from...
Field School at the Troyer Site (12WB116) 1975-1976
Archaeological investigations were conducted by Ball State University at the Troyer Site (12WB116) under the direction of principal investigator B.K. Swartz, Jr. The field work consisted primarily of excavations performed as part of a field school, which ran during the summers of 1975 and 1976. The Troyer Site is located in Wabash County, Indiana near the Mississinewa Reservoir. The purpose of the field work was to locate the site of the Battle of Mississinewa (December 17 and 18, 1812) and...
History of Industrial Pollution in Cataño, Puerto Rico (2024)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The municipality of Cataño in the San Juan Metro Area has long been impacted by industrial pollution, beginning with early colonial gold extraction and smelting in the 16th Century, the monocultural plantation export economy, and, more recently, due to a petroleum refinery and other large-scale industrial activities. The effects of...
Lafayette Lake 1977
The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as “Lafayette Lake 1977.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two and a half linear inches. Lafayette Lake 1977 was contained within...
Long Branch Lake Survey 1974-1978
The Long Branch Lake Survey 1974–1978 was authorized under the Flood Control Act of 1965 (Grantham 1986:1). The investigation was initiated because the construction of Long Branch Lake would directly impact and result in the loss of significant archaeological data. Since preservation was unfeasible, the USACE, Kansas City District, contracted with Northeast Missouri State University to recover archaeological data in order to mitigate the effects of construction. Between the summer of 1974 and...

POLLEN ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF PLANT REMAINS PRIOR TO RADIOCARBON DATING FOR AN AREA WEST OF CEDAR CITY, UTAH (2004)
Two soil samples from a human-modified ephemeral stream west of Cedar City, Utah, were submitted for pollen analysis to determine if either of these samples represents lacustrine conditions. In addition, macrofloral remains saved from the two pollen samples and an individual charcoal sample were examined for organic material to submit for radiocarbon dating.
POLLEN AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS FOR AZ N:7:81 (ASM), YAV 22/81, PRESCOTT, ARIZONA (2003)
Site AZ N:7:81, located on the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Reservation in Prescott, Arizona, has been examined previously for pollen (Cummings and Moutoux 1998). Two additional pollen samples were examined to provide additional information. They represent sediments behind a rock alignment, which is now considered to be natural, so it can act as a subsurface control, and sediment behind Feature 1, a probable check dam. A bone fragment also was submitted for identification using protein residue...
Pomme de Terre Unprovenienced Material N.D.
There is no report or documentation associated with this investigation. The VCP could not determine why the investigation was initiated, who the investigating organization was, who supervised the fieldwork, and when the fieldwork was conducted. It is possible that this unprovenienced material consists of several small investigations that have since lost their identifying project information. The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and...
Sediment Identification Challenges: Is That Really Ancient Bilge Mud? (2013)
Excavations of shipwrecks at Tantura Lagoon in Israel between 1995 and 1997 resulted in a rich collection of sediment specimens which have been catalogued as ‘bilge mud’ – the residue that collects in the bottom of a ship’s hold. Some of these samples have been analyzed for the presence of pollen, seeds, insects and other organic materials, but the body of the sediment itself also holds important clues to the past travels of the vessels. Using techniques more common to oceanography and...
Site 23PO309 Investigation 1967
An archaeological investigation of site 23PO309 in Polk County, Missouri, was conducted in 1967, prior to the construction of Stockton Lake; however, there is no report or documentation associated with this investigation. The VCP could not determine why this investigation was initiated or who supervised the fieldwork. An Archaeological Survey of Missouri Survey Sheet for 23PO309 that was available from the State Historic Preservation Office revealed that Rolland E. Pangborn recorded 23PO309, a...
Stockton Lake Survey and Wimmer Collection 1992-1993
Stockton Lake Survey and Wimmer Collection 1992–1993 is somewhat unique in that it includes materials that were recovered from the Stockton Lake area by an amateur archaeologist, as well as materials that were recovered as part of an official archaeological investigation in the same area. The Stockton Lake Survey and Assessment investigation was carried out in the Stockton Lake areas of Dade, Cedar, and Polk counties, Missouri, between the fall of 1992 and the spring of 1993 by Historic...
