The aim of the LEAP projects was to publish multi-layered e-publications and develop and link them to associated digital archives. The original LEAP project was funded by the AHRC while the LEAP II, A Trans-Atlantic LEAP, was supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This final map project is part of a 2011 LEAP II project "Placing immateriality: situating the material of highland Chiriquí" by Karen Holberg. The files contained in this record include an .mxd map project and an image of the...

Research and analysis of these excavations has primarily focused on reconstructing the blacksmith shop and specific blacksmithing activities. Despite the reconstruction of the shop in 2009, there remain significant questions about the daily lives of the enslaved...

Records for females in 18th-century society are often scarce. Such is the case for our investigations into President James Madison’s Grandmother Frances Madison. Widowed in 1732, she ran the Montpelier plantation for the first thirty years of its existence. Using a combination of archaeological evidence, a scattering of court records, and information on her oldest son (James Madison, Sr.), we build a case for her intersection with paternalistic society and the mark she left on the destiny of the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research at the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2010, excavators discovered the remains of an 18th-century vessel below the foundation of the World Trade Center in New York City. The wreck was excavated and sent to the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University for conservation and documentation. As part of that...

This is an abstract from the "Re-discovering the Archaeology Past and Future at Fort Ticonderoga" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Fort Ticonderoga was the site of nearly two and a half decades of military occupation during the 18th century.

This is an abstract from the "Rebuilding The Alexandria Waterfront: Urban Landscape Development and Modifications" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Ships were an inextricable part of Alexandria's commercial history, both as they traversed the water and as they sat under the waves. As part of Alexandria's expansion into the Potomac River, old and derelict vessels were used to fill in land and build out wharves so that sailing ships could take...

The blacksmith shop at George Washington’s Mount Vernon is situated roughly 200 ft. north of the mansion house and was extant in that location from at least 1762 through Washington’s death in 1799. This period featured multiple reorganizations of the grounds and dependencies, in particular the area between the mansion and the blacksmith shop was converted from a work yard to the formal North Grove. The remains of the blacksmith shop and related archaeological features have been excavated on five...

Since Bartosiewicz, Van Neer, and Lentacker published their ground-breaking research on the osteological identification of draught cattle, zooarchaeological studies of traction animals have proliferated.  Whereas most of these studies draw from Old World assemblages, this research applies Bartosiewicz, Van Neer, and Lentacker’s (1997) methodology for assessing draught cattle to eighteenth-century assemblages from Drayton Hall, South Carolina, and Oxon Hill Manor, Maryland.  In assessing the...

In September of 1777, the British and Continental Army engaged in a series of battles, known as the Philadelphia Campaign.  Although not the largest battle of the Revolution or the Philadelphia Campaign, the Battle of Paoli rose to iconic stature among the soldiers and the citizens of Southeastern Pennsylvania.  Then as word spread throughout the Colonies about the...

On the night of September 20, 1777, British General Charles Grey led his men on a bayonet raid upon American General Anthony Wayne and his encamped Pennsylvania Regulars.  The British burned the camp, injuring many, and killing 52.  The battle quickly became recognized as the "Paoli Massacre" with the battle cry "Remember Paoli!" heard throughout the remainder of the American Revolution.  Archaeological fieldwork at Paoli Battlefield not only seeks to understand the conflict, but the legacy of...

While the ostensible motivation for Spanish missionization in the Americas was religious conversion, missions were also critical to the expansion of European economic institutions in the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. Native American labor in mission contexts was recruited in support of broader programs of colonialism, mercantilism, and resource extraction. Archaeological research throughout North America demonstrates the importance and extent of the integration of Native labor into...

During late September, 1989, and again in mid-October, personnel from the Midwest Archeological Center conducted archeological investigations at Grand Portage National Monument. Those efforts were precipitated by the planned installation of a new drainage system within the reconstructed fur trade Depot. That drain would function to remove ground water from two replicated structures inside the Depot, namely, the Kitchen and the Great Hall. Prior to installation of the drain, seven test units...

For three weeks during the summer of 1991, an archeological team investigated the abandoned estate of White Haven, family home of Julia Dent Grant, which now is referred to as Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site since coming into the National Park System in 1990. Those excavations served two major purposes: (1) to provide information on the structural evolution of White Haven for preparation of a Historic Structures Report on the property; and (2) to examine two large open grassy parcels...

Describes an 1858 Discovery by two Spanish creole farmers in Chirique of a cash of golden artifacts and eventually a graveyard. The two excavated the artifacts without being discovered until May of 1859. After they were discovered thousands of people looted the graveyard located in Huscal (25 miles from the current city of David). Thousands of pounds of gold were reportedly taken from the gravesite. This document also contains bulletins from the subsequent meetings.
