Avocational Diver Based Photogrammetry of Historic Shipwrecks (2021)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in a Digital Age (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 2018 through 2020, the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum hosted a number of workshops for local avocational divers to train them in photogrammetry and shipweck documentation. With support from the National Maritime Heritage Grant Program, these workshops trained more than a dozen local divers in the methods of...
Changing Attitudes and Perspectives on Public Participation in Archaeology: The Case of the Southwest Archaeology Team (2016)
In the early 1980s the Southwest Archaeology Team was formed under what is now the Arizona Museum of Natural History. Reacting to a need for an emergency response team to preserve information from archaeological sites, not protected by state or federal regulations, but being destroyed by development. While initially considered as outsiders and non-professionals, the acceptance of the public working on archaeological excavations quickly changed. This paper focuses on the changing attitudes and...
Community Archaeology in Action: The Partnership Between NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary and the Battle of the Atlantic Research and Expedition Group (2016)
In the three-plus years of its existence, the Battle of the Atlantic Research and Expedition Group has been engaged in a mutually-beneficial partnership with NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary. The Group, which is a part of the Institute of Maritime History, a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit corporation, is made up nearly exclusively of avocational archaeologists and historians all of whom are sport, or recreational, scuba divers. Yet since its founding in late 2012, it has conducted or...
Contextualizing Historical Avocational Reports: A Comprehensive Database of South Carolina Hobby Licensee Reports Over Five Decades (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since its establishment in the 1970s, the South Carolina Hobby License program has permitted avocational small-scale recovery of archaeological and paleontological material from state waters. Individuals may apply for a license through the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA). Licensees must submit...
The Evolution and Role of Avocationals in Underwater Archaeology (2015)
Underwater Archaeology started soon after scuba diving began in the early 1950s. For about the next 20 years, divers began to discover, document and analyze shipwrecks. In the early 1970s, those divers began to form groups to work on larger projects and to learn about archaeology. At about the same time, archaeolgy at universities began to offer courses and the discipline of underwater archaeolgy took root. Some of the avocational groups such as the Nautical Archaelogy Society and the Underwater...
Partnering for Public Education and the Development of an Avocational Maritime Archeological Corps in Biscayne National Park (2016)
In August 2015, the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) and Biscayne National Park collaborated to provide a Submerged Sites Education and Archaeological Stewardship (SSEAS) program in Biscayne National Park for local recreational divers. The SSEAS program is intended to train recreational divers in the methods of non-disturbance archaeological recording in order to provide them with the skills to independently and responsibly perform tasks associated with monitoring and protecting...
Photogrammetry and the Avocational Diver, a Collaborative Approach (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Through support from the National Maritime Heritage Grant Program the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum has hosted four workshops for local avocational divers which teach the basics of Underwater Archaeological methodology with a focus on photogrammetry as an effective way to collect valuable research data for ongoing resource management efforts. This paper will present the results of...
Projectile Point, Site 18HA001, Aberdeen Proving Ground (2003)
Two (2) photographs of a projectile point (identified as Brewerton eared notched) collected by J.F. Hoffecker and K.L. Moeller at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, US.
Shifting Sands: Evolving Educational Programming to Support Maritime Archaeological Research in Massachusetts (2018)
In 2015, the first accredited maritime archaeological field school took place under a partnership between Salem State University, NPS, NAS, the PAST Foundation, SEAMAHP, and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Resources. Examining a 19th-century schooner on the North Shore of Massachusetts, this field school launched two successive years of educational programs that spring boarded deeper research into historical, environmental, and methodological questions, for collaborating scholars. This...
