This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Is it the responsibility of the archaeologist to explain ethical issues of working in a historic cemetery to those who contract them? Should the focus of the project shift to strictly above ground survey and beautification to commemorate those lives buried there? Is it better to leave the headstones, lost to time, underground until a solid plan is set in place for the revitalization...

As the organizers of this session argue, understanding the ethics of engagement in archaeology is maturing rapidly and we are reaching the point where our community engagements are no longer self-evident. Rather we increasing understand that they need interrogation and critique, and this needs to be an embedded part of our routines. This paper will argue that knowing the nature of our engagements requires a deep ethnographic reading of the contexts of our research and the multiple roles it plays...

Establishing intra-and inter-site chronologies for the dwellings and workshops at Monticello’s Mulberry Row has been a focus of study for decades. While broad temporal outlines are clear, we argue here that further progress depends on gaining better analytical control of a key issue: time averaging of archaeological assemblages. In this poster, we present our iterative process to develop methods to estimate variation in time averaging between these assemblages at different levels of aggregation....

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Founded in 1855, the Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum saw 30,000 patients pass through its doors before the institution moved to a new facility in 1935. Vital expansion of the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), located on the former asylum property, prompted historical and archaeological investigations of the now-unmarked Asylum Hill...

The 1693 Charter establishing the College of William & Mary in Virginia, includes a mandate to educate the "Western Indians." After securing funding for the Indian school from the estate of the scientist Robert Boyle, a magnificent Georgian-style structure was built to house the "Indian boys." The received history about this endeavor maintains that the Indian school at William & Mary was unsuccessful. Documentary evidence from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as archaeological evidence,...

This is an abstract from the "The Arch Street Project: Multidisciplinary Research of a Philadelphia Cemetery" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In late 2016, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that human remains were uncovered at a local construction site, 218 Arch Street, formerly the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia (FBCP) cemetery. Over the course of 2017 three phases of excavation ranging from extreme salvage to controlled CRM excavation took...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Ideal gender roles feature prominently in biographies written about George Washington. Once his father passed away, a young Washington was raised by his single mother, Mary Ball Washington. The narratives of Washington’s life, and his mother’s influence upon him, are dynamic, reflecting prevailing gender ideologies of the times in which they were written....

This is an abstract from the "Deepening Archaeology's Engagement with Black Studies" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the popular imaginary, Canada is considered a land of freedom that is inclusive and without a colonial past. This problematic myth of Canadian exceptionalism is founded on a national history that romanticizes the Underground Railroad, while neglecting Canada’s direct participation in the enslavement of Black and Indigenous...

An archaeological field investigation, inaugurated by John R. White of Youngstown State University in 2007, ultimately revealed the remains of an antebellum, single tuyere, charcoal iron blast furnace located in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The facility, originally called the Seth and Hill Furnace, is presently known as the Springfield Furnace by locals. The configuration, constructed generally of heavy ashlar and rubble detritus, is listed historically as utilizing heated air, or 'hot blast'...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Though greatly expanded both in quantity and diversity of subject matter in recent years, literature for the middle-grade audience largely fails to include storylines featuring archaeology, particularly evident in graphic novel formats. As archaeology is not a prominent piece of traditional public education, young people may not be exposed to the field...

When the viceroy of New Spain gave permission for the establishment the colony of New Mexico in the late 16th century, he acknowledged the importance of indigenous people to the colonial enterprise, urging the governor to treat indigenous Pueblo people kindly so that they would work for the colonists. The Spanish colonists’ economy largely consisted of the barter of subsistence goods. Throughout the 17th century, Pueblos and other indigenous peoples both engaged and were integrated into the...

This is an abstract from the "Advancing Public Perceptions of Sustainability through Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

As the British Navy patrolled the West African coast in an effort to enforce the cessation of the Atlantic Slave Trade beginning in the early nineteenth century, several American and European traders shifted their focus a slightly inland, establishing trading sites on the more visibly protected tidal branches of the Rio Pongo of coastal Guinea. This paper explores the material culture used and maintained by one of these establishments at the site of Gambia, considering how material consumption...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For more than a century, books, movies, and other media have portrayed the Ozarks region of the U.S. as historically isolated, rural, backwards, and overwhelmingly white. However, recent studies have begun to reveal a more complex and nuanced picture of life in the Ozarks during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Our investigations of a company town...
