Talegas and Hoards: The Archaeological Signature of Contraband on a 1725 Spanish Merchant Vessel (2013)
Nuestra Señora de Begoña, a Spanish merchant vessel bound from Caracas to Tenerife, was wrecked at La Caleta in the Dominican Republic in 1725. An investigation of the incident resulted in charges being brought against Captain Don Theodoro de Salazar and his conviction of silver smuggling. Contemporary salvage of the Begoña cargo was only partially successful, but some 21,000 pesos in silver were recovered including "six talegas found under the captian's bed." Only 8,761 pesos were...
Teaching With and For the Recent Past: Applying Contemporary Archaeology Pedagogically (2015)
From abandoned council flats to the World Trade Center site, scholars are attempting to understand the material remains of the very recent past by using the methodology of archaeological "excavation." These archaeologies of the contemporary past make familiar items unfamiliar as they explore material residues of late capitalist, post-industrial societies and beyond, participating in what Holtorf calls the merging of "archaeology in the modern world with the archaeology of the modern world." The...

Telling Cultural Histories in Natural Spaces: Documenting Agrarian and Multiracial Heritage in a Municipal Nature Preserve in Austin, Texas (2025)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since the City of Austin acquired the 147-acre property in the late 1990s, the Stephenson Nature Preserve & Outdoor Education Center (SNPOEC) has provided a space for Austinites to appreciate and steward the “nature, wildlife, and ecosystems of Central Texas.” A rich cultural history of Central Texas, however, also lies beneath the preserve’s urban forest canopy. Building upon...

Testing for Mass Processing in Archaeological Ungulate Remains (2017)
Archaeological applications of ethnographic models require that variables derived from the activities of living people be translated into archaeological terms. Enloe suggested that processing caribou (Rangifer tarandus) carcasses for food storage should be recognizable in patterns of bone fragmentation. He predicted that relatively uniform and large-sized bone fragments would result from mass processing for marrow as part of logistic collector subsistence strategies, compared with smaller and...

Tracking dogs across the Pacific using ancient mitogenomes (2017)
Dogs were introduced to the islands of Australasia and the Pacific during human migrations and colonisations, but the timing and dispersal routes are unclear. To investigate these Oceanic dog introductions and movements, we generated complete or near complete ancient mitochondrial genomes from archaeological dog specimens from Thailand, Island Southeast Asia and Pacific islands, and from modern dingoes. When combined with additional published complete mitogenome sequences from modern dogs from...
Traditional Dena’ina Land Use at the Cottonwood Creek Village Site, Southcentral Alaska (2017)
The Dena’ina and Ahtna developed a sedentary socioeconomically-stratified lifestyle with material inequality by the time of European contact. The development of permanent villages indicates a shift into a complex society with qeshqas (leaders) who had better food, larger houses, and more wealth. Semisubterranean depressions at Cottonwood Creek, ranging from 802 years cal BP to modern age, are remnants of storage and house pits still present on the landscape. Geochemical testing of sediments has...
