This is an abstract from the session entitled "The World Turned Upside Down: Revisiting the Archaeology of the American Revolution" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper reports on recent archaeological and geophysical investigations at Cook’s Fort, Monroe County, WV, constructed by local militia in 1774 during Dunmore’s War and garrisoned by militia and used as a place of refuge by settlers throughout the Revolutionary War. During these wars this...

In 2011 McBride Preservation Services and the Kentucky Archaeological Survey conducted geophysical surveys and archaeological excavations of the Tebbs Bend Civil War Battlefield for the Tebbs Bend-Green River Bridge Battlefield Association and the American Battlefield Protection Program.  This investigation consisted of archival research, military terrain analysis, geophysical surveys, and archaeological survey and testing and resulted in the discovery and exposure of sections of the forward...

Approximately 2.28 ha of Matacanela were surveyed using an electromagnetic induction meter to measure near-surface variations in magnetic susceptibility and/or conductivity. Eight distinct areas were selected for survey deemed most likely to reveal Late Classic or Postclassic occupation or landscape features based on topographical features, LiDAR imagery, and surface finds. The primary areas of interest were off-mound and plaza areas containing domestic or non-elite contexts. The largest...

PROJECT Michael Nassaney.

The Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project is a collaboration between Western Michigan University and the City of Niles, MI to investigate, interpret, and preserve the physical remains of the site of Fort St. Joseph, a mission, garrison, and trading post complex occupied from 1691 to 1781 by the French then British. Since its inception, the Project has cultivated a robust program of public archaeology to involve and invest the community in the preservation of the site and more generally, the...

The Brooks River Archaeological District National Historic Landmark (XMK-050) in Katmai National Park, Alaska, includes sites that date from 2500 BC to the historic period--a cultural record that spans nearly 4500 years. While this district has already yielded data of great scientific importance--including the greatest concentration of Arctic Small Tool tradition dwelling sites in Alaska, and possibly in North America--it is suspected that as much as 90% of the cultural resources remain...

Fort St. Joseph is a 17th-18th century French (and later English) mission-garrison-trading post complex located in southwest Michigan. A geophysical survey was performed and the results of the survey were tested through archaeological excavation. The geophysical methods included ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic induction, electrical resistivity, magnetic gradiometry, and magnetic susceptibility. The results of the archaeological excavations demonstrate that magnetic gradiometry was the...

AMEC E&C Services, Inc. has been commissioned by AMEC E&E Services, Inc (AMEC) to perform a geophysical survey at Fort Dix, NJ. The geophysical survey is in support of a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Survey (e.g. an archeological survey), the purpose of which is to identify potential features of archeological significance, in advance of planned construction activities in the study area. The study site consists of a nominal 150 ft x 250 ft area located within Ft. Dix. Several anomalies were...

This report offers guidance documents and decision support tools to help cultural resource managers (CRMs) and field practitioners make effective use of geophysical techniques. The ATAGS (Automated Tool for Archaeo-Geophysical Survey) software tool, which allows the user to develop an effective survey design for a geophysical survey at a particular site, is described.

In August 1999, tests were conducted with three geophysical instruments on a lO-meter square grid in the northeast corner of the Carver family cemetery, George Washington Carver National Monument, Diamond, Missouri. The instruments included a Geoscan FM36 flux gate magnetometer, a Geoscan RM15 soil resistance meter, and a Sensors and Software Noggin 250 ground-penetrating radar unit. The magnetic data revealed patterns very similar to those identified by J. L. Emery as a result of her work in...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Geophysical survey techniques provide important tools to meet the goals of both academic research and public archaeology. In the Historical Households of Central New York Archaeological Project, we used geophysical and remote sensing methods to document the construction sequence and synthesize historical records (including drawings, maps, and written accounts) with the standing structures...

Between 2012 and 2014, the University of Georgia field school in archaeology undertook investigations at Raccoon Ridge, a highly disturbed Late Woodland-Early Mississippian site in the Georgia Piedmont. Systematic surface collections and shovel tests were used extensively to define the site’s geographical footprint. Geophysical survey, including shallow magnetic gradiometry and susceptibility, together with phosphate analysis were also utilized. Anomalies detected with these methods were...

PROJECT Duane Simpson.

This project sought to develop a non-invasive means to identify the locations of prehistoric and historic human burials using geophysical and soil chemistry. With field investigations conducted at rockshelters, open air sites, and historic cemeteries, geophysical investigations were very effective in identifying burials and other cultural features at all site types. Chemical analysis of the soil to verify burial locations appears to hold greatest promise in historic burials.
