This paper presents case studies in developing information literacy about archaeological methods and heritage resources, involving use of the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA) in graduate and undergraduate programs at Adams State University and Indiana University. DINAA is a linked open data hub which uses archaeological site definitions as a core from which to explore further information, including excavation and collections data, scholarly publications, and related...
Introduction to the Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology Symposium, and the Digital Network for Nautical Archaeology (DNNA) (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This presentation introduces the SHA2023 Open Symposium Digital Approaches in Nautical Archaeology, providing some initial context for the symposium’s objectives and scope, and the structure of the presentations and concluding discussion. The symposium is seen as timely given the now widespread use of digital methods for...
Mapping God's Little Acre: Digital Documentation of Newport's Colonial African Burial Ground (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The remarkable site of God’s Little Acre (GLA), the historic African and African American section of Newport’s Common Burial Ground, comprises the largest surviving corpus of gravemarkers from a colonial era African cemetery anywhere in the United States. In 2019, members of the Rhode Island Historic Cemetery Advisory Commission...
Mapping Up and Down: Automatic Mapping of Highland and Coastal Sites Using Multispectral Based Image Analysis Methods From Aerial Images (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Mapping archaeological sites has become more precise, faster, and cheaper than ever, especially once archaeologists began using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) to capture high-resolution aerial views of archaeological sites. Nevertheless, the next step, manually tracing structures and archaeological features from orthophotos, is still daunting...
Not Quite Just "Point and Click:" Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Photogrammetry as Aids to Coastal Heritage Monitoring (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Methods for Monitoring Heritage at Risk Sites in a Rapidly Changing Environment", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In contributing to the dire need for monitoring and documenting heritage sites at risk from sea-level rise and other climate impacts, researchers at the University of West Florida and the Florida Public Archaeology Network are exploring the use of both terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) and...
Site-seeing: Aeriality, Archaeological Survey and Objectivity in Coastal Peru (2017)
Far from being mana from the future, aerial imagery has been integral to both the practical and conceptual dimensions of archaeological survey almost from its inception. In this presentation, I argue that aerial photography captured via private and state-funded reconnaissance in the 1930’s and 40’s played a transformational role in the emergence of regional approaches in Peru’s desert coast in the mid 20th century. I discuss how the use of aerial imagery has both enabled and constrained the...
