This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution”: Identifying and Understanding Early Historic-Period House Sites" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Early colonial archaeological sites often exhibit low artifact densities during walkover or other early-phase field investigations. Furthermore, numerous feature classes may be present but not sampled by traditional testing strategies. These are detectable with geophysical surveys,...
High Frequency Ground-Penetrating Radar Survey in the Jamestown Church: Mapping Structural Elements and Human Burial Orientation (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Excavating the Foundations of Representative Government: A Case Study in Interdisciplinary Historical Archaeology." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Ongoing investigations at the Jamestown Church include novel implementation of high-frequency (2.3GHz to 2.7GHz) GPR antennas to generate high-resolution and non-invasive subsurface data. The main targets were: 1) a potentially high-status Euro-American burial...
Reading Between The Iron Lines: An Analysis Of Cannon Arrangement On Caribbean Shipwrecks (2018)
The aim of this study is to explore how cannon distribution on shipwreck sites can be analyzed to reflect the wrecking event of the ship, crew procedure or emergency action in jettisoning heavy artifacts during a time of disaster, post wrecking salvage operations and in situ changes on the site due to environmental factors like marine growth patterns and fluvial processes. The datasets will include unpublished archaeological information gathered during the 2015 and 2016 East Carolina University...
