Carbon and oxygen isotope analyses of dental apatite from a captive slave population (ca. 1840s) from the Grassmere Plantation (now the Nashville Zoo) in Tennessee is examined to reconstruct childhood diet and determine whether individuals were local to the Middle Tennessee region or forcefully moved from another locale. Among the 19 burials recovered, enamel apatite was obtained from 11 individuals, representing 3 juveniles and 8 adults (3 males, 4 females, and 1 unsexed). At least two teeth...

A Study of George White through Flight and Light (2018)
Imaging is a critical part of the archaeologist’s toolkit. Likewise, the capture, manipulation, enhancement, and interpretation of images has been the subject of significant research in computing over the past 20 years. This project brought together five students studying archaeology and computing to collaborate on fieldwork—and the hardware and software that supports that fieldwork—to engage in an exploration of the life of George White, a freed slave and property owner in Madison and Jackson...
Subjectification and the Archaeology of Violence: The 19th century Anti-Chinese Movement in San Jose, California (2015)
Communal violence is often central to subjectification and the process of creating and sustaining social difference. Preliminary results of archival studies and archaeological research trace the relationship between violence and subject formation among participants of the anti-Chinese movement in 19th century San Jose, which enacted campaigns of harassment and direct violence against Chinese immigrant and Chinese American residents of the city. What material practices and social performances...
Subsistence Practices at Healy Lake Village Site (2018)
Healy Lake Village site (XBD-00020), an important multicomponent site with occupations spanning the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene, provides an important opportunity to address fundamental issues of sub-arctic hunter-gatherers economies as they changed through time. To date, there are a limited number of sites in former Beringia with preserved faunal remains. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is an analytical method that can confirm the visual identifications of burned bone as...
Subverting Forced Confinement? Methodological Approaches to Re-peopling Archaeological Studies of Institutions (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Our overarching interest in analyzing, recording and interpreting material remains can sometimes prevent us from moving beyond...
