16 by 16 - Forest Service Fire Lookout Restorations in the Rocky Mountain Region (2016)
Fire lookouts are symbolic within the US Forest Service. Following the devastating fires of 1910, early fire detection became a priority, and lookout towers began to be built throughout the country. Although technology has practically made lookouts obsolete as early fire warning systems, their historic significance and a powerful nostalgia makes them the ideal subject for a preservation initiative which focuses on restoration and celebration of these important icons. In 2013 the USFS, Forest...
1607 to 1619: An Examination of Change over Time at James Fort (2018)
Within the first few weeks of landing on Jamestown Island in the spring of 1607 the colonists set about constructing a triangular palisaded fort. At first tents served to house the colonists, and to shelter their place of worship. Slowly but surely with the first public buildings, the storehouse and the church, more permanent structures began to rise. The interior of the fort would see many changes during these years, both reflected in the documentary record as well as the archaeological record....
A 1611 Blockhouse and Earthworks for the Protection of Cattle: Virginia’s Earliest Bovine Husbandry, near Jamestown (2017)
From the earliest years of the English colonization of Virginia, Bos taurus played a significant role in settlement as a source of meat, dairy products, and draft power. Following the "Starving Time" winter of 1609/1610, when everything wild and domestic that could be eaten was consumed, including human flesh, on-the-hoof animals, as opposed to barreled beef, entered the colony. These animals soon were being taken by Native Americans. Thus, upon his arrival in May 1611, Sir Thomas Dale ordered...
The 1622 Tierra Firme Fleet In Dry Tortugas National Park (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Primary source documents suggest that a hurricane wrecked seven to nine Spanish vessels of the Tierra Firme Fleet in the lower Florida Keys on 5 September 1622. Over the past 400 years, only treasure hunters have located three of the doomed fleet. Documents point to another three vessels wrecking in modern Dry Tortugas National...

The 16th Century Merchant Community of Santa Maria Acxotla, Puebla (2015)
Although merchants were an important component of the prehispanic and post-conquest landscape, not much is known about the internal organization of merchant groups and the structure of their respective communities. This paper examines the size, composition, and internal organization of the small merchant community of Santa Maria Acxotla located in the Puebla-Tlaxcala basin of highland Mexico. Census data collected 39 years after the conquest suggests that specialized merchant communities...
A 16th-Century Public Dump in Rouen (2014)
Un site destiné à recueillir les déchets des habitations voisines au nord-ouest du centre-ville historique de Rouen, aux abords du château de Philippe-Auguste, a été fouillé en 2012. Cet immense dépotoir a livré une grande diversité de mobilier archéologique illustrant la vie quotidienne de la ville de Rouen au 16e siècle. L’abondante céramique domestique associée à quelques pièces plus luxueuses, témoigne d’une consommation locale et extra-régionale (céramiques du Beauvaisis ou grès...
A 16th-Century Spanish-Basque Batel (Ship's Longboat) Excavated at Red Bay, Labrador, Canada. (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Among the more obscure discoveries to have come to light from the extensive Parks Canada underwater excavations conducted at Red Bay, Labrador from 1978 to 1985, are the rare, if not entirely unprecedented remains of a 16th-century Iberian batel (ship's longboat). Attributable to the Spanish-Basque period of commercial whaling...
The 1725 Nuestra Señora de Begoña: Ongoing Investigations of a Spanish Merchant Fragata and Cultural Conservation Strategies in La Caleta de Caucedo, Dominican Republic (2013)
On 21 May 1725 the Spanish merchant vessel Nuestra Señora de Begoña wrecked in La Caleta de Caucedo on the south coast of Hispaniola. While there was no loss of life, contemporary legal texts pertaining to the sinking event document the complete loss of ship and cargo, ineffective salvage efforts, and the conviction of its captain for contraband silver. Indiana University has conducted excavations of the shoreward spillage area of the Nuestra Señora de Begoña since 2010. Preliminary findings...
175 Water Street to Washington Square Park: is flexibility the key to urban archaeology? (2014)
Thirty years ago, during what could be called the ‘Golden Age’ of New York City archaeology, I served as PI on a block-wide urban project in Lower Manhattan. The field methods were traditional, albeit with the help of a backhoe, and the findings spectacular. Three decades later, as ‘Project Archaeologist’ for the reconstruction of a park in historic Greenwich Village, the archaeology relied even more on heavy equipment and was limited to monitoring or testing associated with the introduction of...
The 1799 Siege of Acre: A Re-evaluation of the Historical and Archaeological Record (2014)
Napoleon’s failed siege of Acre, Israel in the spring of 1799 was a turning point in his eastern campaign. Had he succeeded in gaining control of the port, he would have been well-positioned to challenge Britain’s influence in the East. It was only through the assistance of the British naval commander Admiral William Sidney Smith that the city was able to withstand the siege; Smith kept up a constant bombardment of Napoleon’s position from his fleet for over two months. Understandably,...

The 1812 period Naval Hospital at Point Frederick, Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario (2014)
Over the last five years, archaeologists’ understanding of the War of 1812 Naval Establishment at Point Frederick / Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario has undergone some profound changes. Among these is the recognition that the 1812 period naval hospital does not correspond with the current Commandant’s house, but instead represents an entirely separate and ruined structure associated within the same area of the complex as the Commandant’s house but distinct from it. Through the...
The 1817 Privateer Ghost Fleet of Matagorda, Texas, and the Search for Louis-Michel Aury’s Lost Port (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In May 1817, French privateer Louis-Michel Aury was at a crossroads. After disembarking filibusters on the northern coast of New Spain and reconnoitering a new camp location in Matagorda Bay, he returned to Galveston Island only to learn it had been usurped by the famed pirate Jean Lafitte. Aury retreated to Matagorda Bay with more than a dozen vessels and...

Locations on the map correspond to significant culture historical events and possibly to archaeological sites.
The 1839 Parker Academy: On the Frontier of Transformative Resistance and Social Justice (2017)
The Parker Academy, founded in 1839 in southern Ohio, was the first secondary school in the country to house multiracial, coeducational classrooms. Furthermore, several primary sources suggest it was also a participatory component of the Underground Railroad network. This paper highlights our findings of recent excavations and continuing archival research to explore how the school was a site of everyday resistance under a framework of transformative change through education for a multi-racial...
The 18th Century Shipbuilding French Industry : New Perspective on Conception and Construction (2016)
The Machault, a French frigate, sank in Chaleur Bay, Québec, in the context of the Seven Years War, in 1760. Built in Bayonne, the archaeological analysis of the frigate gave us a unique vision of the 18th century shipbuilding industry. Coming from a privation shipyard next to the Arsenal of Bayonne, the Machault lay amidst a clash between regional shipbuilding traditions and the globalisation of naval techniques in Europe. The study of the ship’s structural remains provides a unique view of...
18th Century Stoneware From New Jersey (2016)
The origins of the New Jersey stoneware industry -- and perhaps even the American stoneware industry -- seem to lie in the late 17th century with an awareness that high-grade clays suitable for making dense, hard, durable pottery were present in the South Amboy area of Middlesex County in the Province of East Jersey. As early as 1685-86, there are indications in the court records of Burlington County in West Jersey that such clays were known to early settlers. This clay source was presumably...
18th to 20th Century Architectural Changes of Embudo’s Torreon (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This poster will analyze the architectural changes of an 18th-century defensive tower called a Torreon, located in Dixon, New Mexico—previously known as the buffer community Embudo. Acting as community protection against Plains Indians during Hispanic settlement in Northern New Mexico, the Torreon’s initial use as a defensive structure may be identified...
18th-Century San Antonio Spanish Colonial Mission Complexes: An Evolution, American Revolution, and Tejano Ranchos1 (2017)
Recent historical archaeology studies have provided new perspectives of indigenous interaction with Spanish Colonial Missions in the United States. By 1718, Texas colonists were the product of Spanish and native intermarriage for over 200 years before their arrival. Few studies have considered the multicultural aspects’ effect to the historic landscape and archaeological record. An emic perspective of how 18th-Century Tejano Ranchos evolved from the Spanish Mission complex has yet to be...
The 1912 Grave Desecration of the Milwaukee County Institution Grounds Poor Farm's Cemetery (2015)
This research looks at the institutional desecration of graves at the Milwaukee County Institution Grounds as overseen by Superintendent Ferdinand Bark, the reaction of the surrounding community to that disturbance, and the ensuing investigation. The paper also explores the relationship of this historical event to the evidence from the 1990s and 2013 archaeological excavations conducted at the location of the cemetery. The event will be viewed within the historical context in which it happened...
