Waders and Snake Chaps: Targeted Exploration and Ground Truthing in the Great Dismal Swamp (2016)
The Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina was home to disenfranchised Native Americans, enslaved canal company laborers and maroons who lived in the wetlands temporarily and long term ca. 1660-1860. This paper discusses recent and ongoing research to identify mesic islands, likely sites of maroon occupation, in the interior of the Swamp. In the past decade, the Great Dismal Swamp Landscape Study (GDSLS) has intensively investigated a few maroon and enslaved labor sites, leaving...
What Remains: Using LiDAR to examine the effects of plowing on memories and mounds in Illinois (2016)
Constructing monuments is, in essence, a construction of memory. Conversely, destruction of monuments can be the erosion of memory. Pre-Columbian peoples in the Americas built and maintained monuments as a form of memory-making and place-making. Digital Elevation Models (DEM) provide us an opportunity to re-discover the monuments and re-animate the memories that have been obscured since European arrival. Using LiDAR data, geo-referenced with historic maps, we look at the present state of...
Work Plan for Conducting National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Eligibility Determination for 62 Archaeological Sites on Cibola National Forest Lands Withdrawn to Kirtland Air Force Base (2006)
This document details plans to conduct the archaeological testing necessary to complete National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility assessments of the remaining 62 sites on US Forest Service (USFS) lands withdrawn to the Department of Defense (DoD) at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) for which eligibility has not been determined. This investigation will help to complete the inventory of cultural resources recorded at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) and will assist Kirtland Air Force...
The Yaxhom Valley Survey II (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The second season of the Yaxhom Valley survey, conducted during the summer of 2018, continued its assessment of LiDAR imagery collected by an NSF-sponsored mission flown over the eastern Puuc region of Yucatan, Mexico. Our focus shifted to Muluchtzekel, which LiDAR revealed to be the dominant site of the entire valley. We covered approximately one square...
