The United States Air Force (USAF), Headquarters, Air Mobility Command (AMC), has conducted real property surveys and evaluations at selected installations throughout the continental United States to identify potentially significant Cold War buildings and structures. The immediate goal of the study is to provide the baseline information required for compliance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and for the completion of Cultural Resources Management Plans (CRMPs)....
Prosthetic Memories, Finnish WWII Army Photographs and Online Commemoration (2019)
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 2: Linking Historic Documents and Background Research in Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. We will examine Finnish Army photographs from World War Two, that we argue, can shape Finnish views of the war. The photographs have been published in an online gallery, and have mnemonic potential beyond their use in scholarship. Images can be viewed as what Alison Landsberg calls "prosthetic...
Public Memory and Dark Heritage at Santa Claus Village (2016)
Cutting across the Arctic Circle in the heart of Finnish Lapland, Santa Claus Village celebrates familiar holiday legends while offering visits with Santa and the opportunity to purchase a host of consumer goods. The Yuletide tourist attraction north of Rovaniemi sits on a landscape that was a Luftwaffe airbase during World War II, and many of the foundations of the massive base’s support structures visibly dot the forests around Santa Claus land. The history of Finland’s status as...
Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Church Crookham; Housing the British Army's Gurkha Regiments (2017)
In 2004, an archaeological investigation and recording began of the barracks at Church Crookham in Hampshire prior to its demolition. Although these simple 1930s structures were of limited intrinsic architectural significance, as a collection of structures the site was of considerable historical and social interest. Hastily constructed before the outbreak of World War II, its function changed over time. Notably, between 1970 and 2000, the barracks housed Gurkha regiments, military units of the...
Quite Voices and Silent Houses: Video ethnography on Inishark (2013)
Video interviews, oral histories and historical records provide an important means of reconstructing past island lifeways. In this presentation we illustrate how the Cultural Landscapes of the Irish Coast project employs video ethnography to document 1940-1960 island life. Over the summers of 2009-2012 we conducted multiple video interviews with five islanders while revisiting Inishark, conducting on-camera interviews in their homes that were abandoned 50 years ago, and having them discuss the...
Race and the water: the materiality of swimming, sewers and segregation in African America (2017)
Few dimensions of the color line were monitored as closely as access to American rivers, beaches, and swimming pools, which became strictly segregated in the early 20th century. This paper examines the heritage of color line inequalities in Indianapolis, Indiana's waters, where beaches were segregated, African Americans were restricted to a single city pool, and waterways in African-American neighborhoods still accommodate sewer overflows. Despite that history, a new wave of urbanites is now...
Ralph H Cameron and the Grand Canyon (Part 1) (1978)
For over thirty years, Ralph Henry Cameron- Arizona businessman, miner and politician - attempted to develop and control the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Cameron's interest in the canyon dated from the 1880s when prospectors explored the depths of the canyon, and stage coaches started bringing curious tourists to view the spectacular work of nature. Cameron helped to build the first trails into the canyon and opened its first flourishing mine. In time, however, his construction of a tourist...
Ralph H. Cameron and the Grand Canyon (Part II) (1978)
Ralph Cameron's election in 1920 to the United States Senate from Ariwna came at an opportune time. Congress, the year before, had incorporated his mining claims into the newly created Grand Canyon National Park, and the United States Supreme Court had just ruled that his claims there were invalid. As matters stood, there seemed little likelihood that Cameron could realize his dream of converting strategically located mineral sites into a fortune. But Cameron's optimism never deserted him....

(Re)Telling the History of Cleveland Urban Neighborhoods (2017)
Like many Rust Belt, Midwest cities, Cleveland has seen a large demographic shift over the last century in its urban neighborhoods. In many cases, the same street or city block has been shaped by the unique sociocultural practices and material arrangements specific to a range of different racial and ethnic groups. In this paper we focus on the 20th century history of two different downtown neighborhoods, Hough and Cedar-Central. We examine how the representations of urban space specific to...

High-resolution geophysical surveys required by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in advance on oil industry activities have resulted in the discovery of several hundred shipwreck sites well offshore in the ultra-deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf. Public, academic, and Federal interest in these sites, coupled with the availability and affordability...
A Record of a Portion of the Yuma/California Main Canal and the Yuma Valley Railroad (2009)
The Yuma Irrigation Project (YIP) was an early and essential Reclamation project in the Southwest, and the Yuma/California Main Canal and the Yuma Valley Railroad were important contributors to the success of the YIP and the early development of Yuma, Arizona. Construction on the YIP began shortly after a new federal agency - United States Reclamation Service - had been given authority to reclaim arid and semi-arid lands in the West in 1902. In only a couple of decades, the YIP infrastructure...

Recovery of Additional Information from the Gila River Farm Expansion Area (1988)
As a result of a cultural resource investigation of the Gila River Farms expansion area conducted by Archaeological Consulting Services Ltd. (ACS), a number of significant cultural resources were identified within the project area. Of particular interest was cultural material associated with the World War II Japanese-American internment camp of Camp Rivers. This camp was used between May, 1942 and November 1945 and housed approximately 12.000 Japanese and Nisei (Japanese-Americans born and...
Reforming the Collection: Documentation, Fieldwork, and the NAGPRA Process at SUNY Oswego (2018)
The discovery of human remains in the SUNY Oswego archaeological collection in 2005 led to a ten year inventory process to fulfill our responsibilities under NAGPRA. From the beginning, our fundamental difficulty was the overall lack of documentation and information about the materials comprising the Oswego collection. Difficulties with the existing catalog and storage condition of the materials heightened the difficulties of inventory process. Many of the sites represented in our collection...

This is an abstract from the "The Transformation of Historical Archaeology: Papers in Honor of Charles E Orser, Jr" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1918 Finland fought an enormously brutal civil war between "White" and "Red" factions. During and after the war, victorious White forces conducted mass executions and buried large numbers of Reds and their sympathizers in shared graves, but there was very little formal commemoration of that...

Restaurants, Businesses, and Graveyards: Mapping the "Resettlement" of Japanese Americans in Chicago, 1943-1950 (2017)
The forced dislocation of West Coast Japanese Americans to incarceration camps during WWII deeply affected community formation, leadership, and livelihoods. The dislocation had barely been carried out when the War Relocation Authority (WRA) conceived and put into action a program of controlled (re)movement east. This "resettlement" did not play out as administrators had hoped. This paper traces the resettlement of Japanese Americans in Chicago during and immediately after the war (1943-1950),...
