Project Description

The rugged Isles of Shoals off the coast of Maine (New England) have a long history of human settlement dating from the late 16th century. Early communities were economically based on fish processing. Students will take part in ongoing archaeological research on the site of a fish processing station on Smuttynose Island, located adjacent to Appledore Island's Shoals Marine Laboratory. In this course you will learn about the past human communities that lived on the island (prehistoric to the late 19th century) and about organisms (fish, bird, shellfish) that were present in the marine environment during those periods. Students live at the Shoals Marine Lab on Appledore Island and commute to Smuttynose Island by boat (10 min) each day. Three meals a day are prepared by the Shoals Lab kitchen; students live in comfortable double dorm rooms. The Shoals Lab island campus is shared with other students studying marine science, marine biology, oceanography and ecology. Course work will include documentation, reporting and completion of architectural, historic and prehistoric site survey and excavation forms suitable for historic preservation submission. Training in field logistics, scheduling, ethics, and public relations are also part of this course. The Register of Professional Archaeology Standards and Practice will be used as a guide.

2011 Michigan Technological University Fieldschool in Industrial Archaeology

Image via WikipediaThe 2011 Michigan Technological University Fieldschool in Industrial
Archaeology will be back at the Cliff Mine and Clifton townsite for
the second year.


Join the Industrial Archaeologists from Michigan Technological
University, documenting an historic copper mine in the heart of the
Keweenaw Peninsula.  The Keweenaw is famous as one of the few places on earth where humans found abundant formations of "native" copper, ranging in size from pebbles to record-breaking boulders of pure
metal.  This will be the second season studying the ruins of the Cliff Mine and Clifton (1845-c.1870), the region's first profitable copper mine.  The site sits atop and below the 200-foot greenstone bluff that runs along the spine of the Keweenaw Peninsula, about 30 miles northeast of Houghton, Michigan.  We will be reconstructing the evolution of the industrial process using clues left by workers as they built, worked, and reworked the site's shafts, mill, engine house, kilns, stacks, shops, houses, and offices.

During the 2010 season, the research team completed a site survey,
gathering data using a Topcon Total Station and Digital Collector and
handheld Trimble GeoExplorer GPS units, supplemented with LiDAR
surveys of the ruined architecture.  During the past year, researchers
built this data into a GIS framework that also included historic maps
and photographs, aerial photographs, and multispectral satellite
imagery. Discussion, images, and films of the research were posted on
the project blog:
http://cliffmine.wordpress.com

The 2011 field school participants will continue research in these
areas.  Project members should anticipate learning and working in the
following areas:

1. Conducting excavations in the Stamp Mill Complex, investigating
work areas and processes in this well preserved and early example of a
mill.  In addition, student researchers will use excavation and shovel
test probes to better define the extent, functions, and state of
preservation of other buildings throughout the mine and community,
including in areas near the Avery Shaft.

2. Research teams will ground-truth the CliffMAP GIS predictions of
landscape features and transportation infrastructure.  They will base
testing on multispectral satellite images and historic aerial
photographs.  Students will learn multiple documentation techniques,
such as digital and optical mapping, use of ground-based, aerial, and
satellite-based remote sensing in survey- including LiDAR and perhaps
ROV aerial photogrammetry, Underwater Acoustic and Sonar survey,
measured drawings, photography, and artifact analysis.  The crews may
also have an opportunity to use a kite-based photography system.

3. Teams will continue to document the settlement of Clifton,
including more detailed mapping of the town and exploratory
excavations to assess research potential in this historic community.
The research focus includes attention to the food supply network, so
students can expect to learn archaeobotanical sampling strategies as
part of efforts to locate and understand the garden plots.

4. Michigan Tech's Industrial Archaeology research teams will be
collaborating with the the Nautical Archaeology Society's
International Field School at Northwestern Michigan College in
Traverse City, Michigan.  The NAS Divers and students will join us to
begin exploratory acoustic and sonar mapping of the Cliff dock at
Eagle River and other maritime industrial features.

All participants in the Cliff Mine Archaeology Project become public
archaeologists, collaborating with community members and other guests
to the site.  Along with fieldwork, there will be field trips,
lectures, and discussions devoted to the history and technology of
early copper mining in the Keweenaw and the communities and landscapes it produced.  These public lectures are further supplemented by public days at the site where all research team members show site visitors around the Cliff, its community, and landscape, while discussing
connections between the story of copper and the Keweenaw's communities today.

The course is co-taught by Timothy Scarlett and Samuel Sweitz. Both
Drs. Scarlett and Sweitz are published anthropologists and
archaeologists with experience in North American hardrock mining
history and archaeology, in addition to the industrial and historical
archaeology of the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

Course Details:

Students will live in Houghton. Michigan Tech will help guest students
to find accommodations in town for during the field school. Project
participants are encouraged to explore the Keweenaw during their time
off, and many will choose to bring outdoor recreation gear for
mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, and road biking,
and the many water sport opportunities provided by Lake Superior.
Students are also encouraged to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting of the
Society for Industrial Archaeology in Seattle, Washington. Both the
Keweenaw National Historical Park and Isle Royal National Park are a
short walk or bike ride from Houghton (To be clear, the NPS boat that
goes to IRNP is walking distance from Houghton, not the wilderness
island itself).

This is an equal opportunity course, and students with disabilities or
special needs should contact Dr. Scarlett to discuss accommodations
during the registration process.

Archaeological Field School on Edgefield, South Carolina Pottery Communities

Image via WikipediaArchaeological Field School on Edgefield, South Carolina Pottery Communities
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Anth. 454-CF and 455-CF (6 credits; 6 weeks), May 23, 2011 to July 1, 2011

This field school will provide training in the techniques of excavation, mapping, controlled surface surveys, artifact classification and contextual interpretation. Students will work in supervised teams, learning to function as members of a field crew, with all of the skills necessary for becoming professional archaeologists. Many students from past University of Illinois field schools have gone on to graduate study and professional field-archaeology positions. Laboratory processing and analysis will be ongoing during the field season. Evening lectures by project staff, visiting archaeologists, and historians will focus on providing background on how field data are used to answer archaeological and historical research questions.



** Historical Significance and Project Background

The first innovation and development of alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery in America occurred in the Edgefield District of South Carolina in the early 1800s. It remains an enduring mystery as to how these new ceramic methods were developed in that place and time, and how the techniques of clay choice, temper, and glaze developed over the following century. These potteries employed enslaved and free African-American laborers in the 19th century, and the stoneware forms also show evidence of likely African cultural influence on stylistic designs. Edgefield potteries thus present fascinating research questions of understanding technological innovations and investigating the impacts of African cultural knowledge and racial ideologies on a craft specialization during the historic period in America. This project entails an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and archaeological study of the first development in America of alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery forms, the development of that South Carolina industry over time, and the impacts of racism and African cultural influences on those processes.

The technological innovation of alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery was introduced in North America by potteries operated by Abner and John Landrum in the Edgefield, South Carolina area in the first decades of the 19th century. These technological developments by entrepreneurs of Scots-Irish heritage played out in a landscape shaped by racial difference. Numerous African-American laborers, including "Dave the Potter" who added inscriptions to his vessels, worked at these production sites. Advertisements in local newspapers in the early decades of the 1800s listed enslaved laborers with skills in pottery production. African Americans most likely participated in all phases of the production process, such as: building and maintaining the kilns; digging and transporting clay; working and grinding raw clay in "pug" mills; chopping wood for fuel; preparing glaze mixtures, tempers, and clay pastes; turning the pottery wheels and shaping the vessels; and loading and unloading the kiln  firings.

As local historians Holcombe and Holcombe (1989: 22) observed, the "District's ceramic entrepreneurs would never have been able to manufacture such large quantities of Edgefield wares without the slave participation." Indeed, in the period of 1800-1820, the recorded number of enslaved African Americans in the surrounding area had increased to comprise half of the Edgefield District's population. An illegal transport of enslaved laborers on the ship Wanderer delivered 170 newly-captive Africans to the Edgefield District in 1858. The production of remarkably shaped "face vessels" at local potteries have also been analyzed as presenting evidence of the influence of stylistic traditions from cultures of West Central Africa.

This project seeks to undertake detailed archaeological investigations of principal sites in Edgefield, conduct archival research, and start a multi-year community engagement and education program related to these subjects. Archaeological field schools and research teams at such pottery sites can explore both the production facility remains and the residential sectors for the enslaved and free African-American laborers. Primary research questions include: (1) examining the distribution of work areas and residential locations in each pottery site and analyze the degree of spatial segregation due to the impacts of slavery and racism; (2) understanding differential uses and development of those work and residential spaces, as reflected in archaeological features and artifact distributions, and the degree to which variations correlate with different racial categories associated with the occupants; (3) analyzing faunal and botanical remains to explore and contrast dietary and heal
 th patterns between residential sites and the degree to which variations correlate with different racial categories associated with the occupants; and (4) understanding the development and changes over time in the technologies of pottery production at these three manufacturing sites.

** Field School Overview
This six-week archaeological field school will focus on the site of Pottersville, where Abner Landrum started the first stoneware production facility in the Edgefield district in the early 1800s. We will excavate the kiln and related production areas and conduct surveys to locate the house sites of the craftspeople and laborers who created the Pottersville village surrounding that manufacturing facility. Instructors will include Prof. Fennell, U. Illinois doctoral student George Calfas, and archaeologist Carl Steen of Diachronic Research Inc., among others. The instructors and students will stay in local housing in the Edgefield area during this six week field school, and visit nearby archaeology sites and museums on weekend trips.

For additional information about this field school opportunity, please contact Chris Fennell by email at cfennell@illinois.edu, by cell phone at 312-513-2683, or check his faculty web page for background information on the multi-year archaeology project in Edgefield, South Carolina.

New Jersey Archaeological ALERT! Petty's Run

Lt. Gov. Guadagno wants archaeological dig on [NJ] Statehouse lawn buried

11/27/2010
Tom Hester Sr.

Angry preservationists charge she considers New Jersey historic site an ‘eyesore’

Lieut. Gov. Kim Guadagno wants the Petty’s Run archaeological site on the Statehouse grounds in Trenton that features the ruins of sections of colonial and industrial era mills dating back to the 1730s buried, her spokesman confirmed Friday evening.

Asked about the plan, which has angered historic preservationists and archaeology community activists, Sean Crisafulli told NewJerseyNewsroom.com, "Yes, the lieutenant governor is working proactively with all parties involved to refill the area next to the Statehouse as soon as possible to improve the grounds."

A string or reliable sources, who asked not to be identified, said they have not learned of the plan from Guadagno nor anyone else in the Christie administration. Guadagno, can see the dig from her office window on the south side of the Statehouse. Crisafulli did not respond to other specific questions.

The dig, which sources say the lieutenant governor considers an eyesore, does have the appearance of a construction site and has been surrounded by piles of weed-covered excavating dirt in a cyclone fence since the ruins were uncovered in 2008. The site is over 30 feet in depth.

Spokespersons for Gov. Chris Christie, or the Department of Environmental Protection or Treasury could not immediately comment or be reached to provide comment on the idea amid the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

It has been learned that Richard Hunter, the archaeologist who directed the dig in 2008 has been asked to discuss a potential burial of the site before the Statehouse Joint Management Commission on Tuesday. The panel is chaired by Richard Bagger, Christie's Chief of Staff and determines moves affecting the Statehouse property.

Hunter declined to comment on the issue.

Archaeological work began on the Petty's Run site to prepare it for its role as a focal point of what was planned by the Corzine administration as Capital State Park. The $87 million four-phase park was designed to include the Statehouse grounds and provide open space as far as the banks of the nearby Delaware River. Presently, access to the river is blocked by the four lanes of heavily-traveled Route 29.

But although Wallace Roberts & Todd, a well-known nationwide architectural firm was retained to design the park, the project has all but been declared dead under the Christie administration. The state has money for the project that under law cannot be used elsewhere.

Historic preservationists are enraged at the idea of burying the site, arguing it could be turned into a historic heritage site for tourists and a learning resource for visiting students as part of an effort to redevelop Trenton. The site sits between the Statehouse and the Old Barracks Museum, New Jersey's most popular heritage tourism site.

Hunter’s archaeologists uncovered the remains of the 1730s Isaac Harrow iron and steel plating mill, which was powered by Petty’s Run, a key water source in Colonial Trenton, that still runs west and downhill across the Statehouse grounds through a 130-year-old brick tunnel and empties into the Delaware River. Remains of the mill’s furnace and the waterwheel that powered the plant and the 1820 cotton and 1876 paper mills that followed, also has been uncovered as well as the remains of a 19th century rowhouse.

The steel mill was still in operation in 1776 when Gen. George Washington and his troops crossed the ice-peppered Delaware on Christmas Day night and won a surprise victory at Trenton, which saved the Revolution. Hessian soldiers were housed in the adjacent Old Barracks at the time.
Hunter's archaeologists would have to pause in their work to explain what they were uncovering and the historic meaning to state officials and workers and passerbys.

The park plan called for the Petty’s Run site to be enclosed in glass and feature a waterwheel that would be powered by the waterway, which, in turn, would provide enough electricity to power the lighting of the site and possibly the entire park.

Critics of the idea to bury the site, including legislators, argue that, like Gov. Chris Christie's decision to halt the Hudson commuter rail tunnel project, it would cost the state a great amount of money to first protect the ruins before burial and then cover them up.

"It would cost money now and add much more money later to take it out (uncover)," Richard Patterson, director of the Old Barracks Museum, said Friday. "To me, this is a wonderful thing to have next door to the New Jersey Statehouse. You can look over from the Statehouse and see the Barracks, the New Jersey's Revolutionary war heritage, and there is New Jersey industrial beginnings right there.

"It is a very compelling location and fascinates the hell out of the public," Patterson said. "There are very few places where people can see and excavation and see a story through time. To cover it seems to me something that doesn't need to be done right now. I look at that and say that's our future. That's a very compelling aspect. If they cleaned it up, removed the spoils piles and sod the lawn up to the ledge (of the dig), it would not look like an eyesore, it would be a tremendous attraction. Put a fence around it and let it be. What's the point? I don't understand it."

In May, the Petty's run archaeological dig was cited by the state DEP [Dept. of Preservation] as one of nine efforts that best represent historic preservation in New Jersey. Now, sources say, the DEP, Hunter Research of Trenton and Wallace Roberts & Todd has been directed to determine the best method to rebury the site. WR&T management was not available to comment on Friday.

One method could be to cover the site with sand, sources say.

Patterson pointed out that the site has been popular with Revolutionary war re-enactors and visitors who come to Trenton during the annual Patriots’ Week, the last week of December.

Mystery Objects from the Field

Anne Raab (annmraab "at" yahoo.com) has two mystery objects that she needs identified. Here are her comments and the photos:


Does anyone know what these are? My guess is they are parts of an old music box, or some other percussive type instrument. They seem to be either brass or copper. Sorry I don't have a better picture right now. I had to take this one with my phone.

They were found at a farmstead site on the Western Missouri border, with a first European occupation in the 1850's, and last occupied in the early 20th century.

The second object was found at the same site. The material is very chalky, and I am not sure what it is. It was found in multiple pieces, and I originally thought it was some kind of natural calcification that had formed in an insect burrow, giving it its rounded quality. Back in the lab I discovered it all fit together to form this shape. (sorry about the quality of the photo)

Cherokee Towns in the Time of Spanish Contact

May 31 -June 25, 2010

Explore the early history of East Tennessee. Learn techniques of survey,
excavation, and artifact analysis in this six credit archaeological field
school.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Eastern Tennessee may have been visited by Hernando DeSoto in 1540 and Juan
Pardo in 1567 as part of the Spanish colonization of the New World. Even
though this colonial encounter was brief, it had profound effects for the
indigenous inhabitants of this region, the ancestors of some of today's
Cherokee. This project will explore the natural and cultural landscape of
East Tennessee in the early historic period to better understand what the
Spanish referred to as the Chiscas.

The 2010 season will be devoted to survey, mapping, excavation, and artifact
analysis of contact period (Qualla phase) sites in the Nolichuckey valley in
the vicinity of the modern settlements of Greeneville, Telford, and Jonesboro,
Tennessee. Lectures will include discussion and analysis of the Spanish chronicles
related to DeSoto's and Pardo's explorations, other sources concerning Cherokee
history,and examples of Cherokee archaeology. This project is carried out
in close collaboration with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and is
funded in part by the ECBI Tribal Historic Preservation Office


COURSE CREDIT
This course earns six undergraduate or graduate credits from Illinois State
University. Students can usually transfer these hours toward a graduate or
undergraduate degree program. Students should inquire about credit
transferability with their degree granting institution. All students are
required to keep a journal documenting field and lab work. Students will
also contribute to the field school blog. The course will culminate in a
public presentation of student research to the community of Cherokee, North
Carolina.
