Digging Close to Home: An Archaeological Field School in the University’s Back Yard (2023)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 2022 University of Kentucky Campus Archaeology Project was the first on-campus field school offered at the university. The site was located on the periphery of the main campus, in the rear yard of a Victorian house that was integrated into the university landscape in the late twentieth century. Prior to its use as a campus office building, the house was a private residence for decades...
Engaging Students and Communities About Archaeological Sites and Collections Through Digital Knowledge Mobilization (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Students get quickly engaged with archaeological sites and collections when they use digital technologies to tell stories and connect with others. Yet, the wide array of tools available can lead to poorly conceived results when projects need to be completed in the space of one semester by undergraduate students. In this session I will explore options to train students in...

Obligations and Opportunities of Old Collections, a Boston Perspective (2015)
The City of Boston Archaeology Laboratory contains nearly two-dozen archaeological assemblages totaling 2,000 boxes and well over 1,000,000 artifacts. The vast majority of these collections were excavated between 1975 and 1995, which poses a monumental challenge of re-cataloging, re-organizing, and re-analyzing collections that have defined the early history of Northeast historical archaeology. These collections also represent a great opportunity for students and researchers to examine...
