This report discusses the foci of the project in 2004: the ongoing forensic research of the vessel's crew, interment of the remains, completion of the excavation of the submarine's interior, and the documentation of artifacts recovered during the excavation. The objective of the year's work was to gather data sufficient to answer critical questions about the H.L. Hunley crewmen and what happened to them and their vessel.

This report discusses the survey operations conducted over the area using nondestructive remote sensing instrumentation, excavation procedures, analyses of cultural materials recovered or observed in situ and the associated contextual environment. It also presents the rationale for recommended site-treatment options.

The most renowned stage portrayer of Sherlock Holmes, it was William Gillette who brought Conan Doyle’s detective to life for audiences as well as for every actor that followed in his footsteps. Most importantly, he originated the Holmes "look": the deerstalker hat, the curved pipe, and the Inverness cape. In his day, Gillette was the wealthiest actor in the country. He spared no expense in building his eccentric stone "Castle," perched high above the Connecticut River, and in the creation his...

The territorial waters of Virginia contain several thousand historically significant shipwrecks from over 400 years of occupation and development by Europeans. This GIS and HARP are tools to effectively protect and manage these resources by locating and assessing submerged shipwreck resources that could be impacted by development and other activities.

Human response to sea-level rise is an important aspect within the broader topic of coastal prehistory. Sites found on today's continental shelf directly contribute to the archaeological record and are, in some cases well preserved under water. Recent emphasis on continental shelf archaeology, or submerged prehistory, has encouraged prehistorians to embrace underwater archaeology in order to fully appreciate past lifeways and adaptation to sea-level change in the final Pleistocene and early...

In 1998, a team from Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática (CNANS) undertook the rescue excavation of Angra D, a probable 16th or 17th century Iberian shipwreck located in the construction area of a dock in Angra Bay (Terceira Island, Azores). The study of the site was never completed. In 2011, a team from CHAM continued the study of Angra D, reassessing the archaeological archive, the ship timbers and the artefacts. This study suggests that Angra D is probably a small merchant...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Geochemical studies of archaeological ceramics often assume little to no post-depositional change to the makeup of the artifact. This study uses ICP-MS trace element and lead (Pb) stable isotope analysis to investigate how a freshwater submerged depositional environment affects the geochemical signatures of archaeological ceramics. We test the null...

This is an abstract from the "An Exchange of Ideas: Recent Research on Maya Commodities" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Production of salt cakes for trade in modern and historic communities provides three testable hypotheses for identifying ancient Maya trade of this commodity. If salt cakes were transported in pots as in the Philippines, briquetage would be found at consumer communities, as suggested for Aventura, Belize. Only non-vessel...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Shipwrecks are adversely affected by human activities. Some of the most common activities conducted by humans, include recreational SCUBA diving and fishing, have the potential to destroy the data and cultural integrity of these sites. Human interaction with shipwrecks requires additional research in order to find the best way to limit human impact on...

Marine reconnaissance off the coast of San Pasquale, Calabria in southern Italy revealed a dense offshore terrestrial peat deposit dating to the mid Holocene. Subsequent radiocarbon dating of samples revealed a conflict with regional relative sea level curves and local patterns of terrestrial uplift. As such, initial analysis suggests that these deposits result from a local hyperpycnal flood event and are not subaerial drowned deposits resulting from Holocene coastal evolution and rapid marine...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "What’s in a Name? Discussions of Terminology, Theory and Infrastructure of Citizen Science in Maritime Archaeology" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The lack of broad representation in the archaeological community has been well documented and acknowledged over the last several decades. Recent social upheavals in the United States have rightly drawn renewed attention to this issue and, as a result, many...

Indigenous peoples remain under-represented in maritime archaeology. What strategies are maritime archaeology practitioners using to increase Indigenous participation? This paper introduces the concept of Indigenisation—institutionalised (normative practice) change efforts towards Indigenous inclusion underpinned by principles of recognition and respect for Indigenous peoples, knowledges and cultures—to the discipline of maritime archaeology. Drawing on the Design and Evaluation Framework for...

Paleolithic sites situated in the Hrvatsko zagorje region of north-western Croatia (Krapina, Vindija) are well known because they contain important finds of fossil human remains associated with both faunal remains and lithic industry. However, in recent years, work on Mousterian sites in Dalmatia (south Croatia) has intensified. It focuses on three types of sites, (caves, open-air, and an underwater site) as well as on a systematic survey of the region. This poster briefly presents one of each...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the 19th century, a fort and independent settlement of enslavement escapees and their descendants emerged along the Apalachicola River. Prospect Bluff, which eventually became to be known as “Negro Fort”, was a place where Maroons resisted the institutions of slavery. Prospect Bluff hosted a vibrant community of Maroons. At its peak it was home to...
