The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have

  • Cultural Resources Remote-Sensing Survey of Halfmoon Reef, Matagorda Bay, Matagorda County, Texas
    CULTURAL RESOURCES REMOTE-SENSING SURVEY OF HALFMOON REEF, MATAGORDA BAY, MATAGORDA COUNTY, TEXAS November 2010 FINAL REPORT By Charles E. Pearson Coastal Environments, Inc. 1260 Main Street Baton Rouge, LA 70802 Texas Archeology Permit Number 5429 Performed under contract with the: Nature Conservancy of Texas Corpus Christi, Texas Coastal Environments, Inc. 1260 Main Street Charles E. Pearson, Ph.D. Baton Rouge, Louisiana Principal Investigator ABSTRACT A Phase 1 marine, cultural resources, remote-sensing survey was conducted of a 1190-acre area located on Halfmoon Reef in Matagorda Bay, Matagorda County, Texas. The study was undertaken by Coastal Environments, Inc., of Corpus Christi, Texas. The area surveyed consists of the majority of Halfmoon Reef, a large sand bank extending into Matagorda Bay. Some portion of Halfmoon Reef is to be selected for a project intended to reestablish oyster beds. The cultural resources survey encompassed several Texas State Tracts identified by the Texas Historical Commission as high probability areas relative to submerged cultural resources. In addition, the area surveyed included the former location of the Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse, which stood from 1858 to 1943. Remote-sensing instruments used consisted of a marine magnetometer, side-scan sonar, and a fathometer. A differential GPS system was used for positioning and navigation. A review of pertinent geological, archeological, and historical records was undertaken prior to the survey to determine the cultural resources potential of the project area. The only cultural features of interest identified in the survey were magnetic anomalies and features identified on side-scan sonar records that appear to represent elements associated with the iron frame foundation of the former Halfmoon Reef Lighthouse.

  • Shelburne Shipyard Steamboat Graveyard: Archaeological
    SHELBURNE SHIPYARD STEAMBOAT GRAVEYARD: ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF FOUR STEAMBOAT WRECKS A Thesis by CAROLYN KENNEDY Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, Kevin J. Crisman Committee Members, Cemal Pulak Anthony Stranges Head of Department, Cynthia Werner August 2015 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2015 Carolyn Kennedy ABSTRACT Steamboats became commercially viable in the early nineteenth century, and by the 1830s were arguably the most popular form of long-distance travel around North America, especially on inland waterways like Lake Champlain. Due to this popularity, demand for faster, larger boats drove shipwrights to experiment with new designs that differed greatly from traditional ship construction. Unfortunately, steamboat plans from this period are mostly missing or incomplete, and therefore our knowledge of their changing shapes and features must be derived from archaeological data. A survey of Lake Champlain’s Shelburne Shipyard revealed the remains of four nineteenth-century steamboats. The four hulls, labeled Wrecks 1 through 4, were recorded for comparative study during a field school that took place in the month of June, 2014. Researchers from Texas A&M University and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum spent three weeks recording the remains in order to identify the individual boats, develop preliminary site plans for each wreck, and compare the differing construction patterns. Though Wreck 1 (A.Williams) proved to be from 1870, the other three were nearly contemporaneous, all built in the 1830s. Despite their close launch dates, Wrecks 2, 3 and 4 (Winooski [1832], Burlington [1837] and Whitehall [1838]) displayed very different construction methods.

The discovery was announced Friday by the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. The Phoenix was launched in 1815. It sailed a regular schedule between Whitehall, New York, and St. Johns, Quebec, stopping at ports along the lake. The style of the paddlewheels and the charring indicated it came from the Phoenix, which burned off Colchester on Sept. 4, 1819, killing six of the 46 passengers and crew on board. The hull burned to the waterline and drifted south to where it came to rest on the shoal. The ice later dragged the wreckage off the shoal to where it now rests. "The Phoenix is one of the earliest known steamboat wrecks in the United States, and the discovery of the well-preserved paddlewheel structures adds to the significance of this nationally significant Underwater Preserve," Scott Dillon, senior historic preservation review coordinator for the Division for Historic Preservation, said in a statement.

Perhaps nowhere was the struggle more complex than in Texas. Some Texans supported the Union, but were concerned about political attacks on Southern institutions. Texas had been part of the United States just 15 years when secessionists prevailed in a statewide election. Texas formally seceded on March 2, 1861 to become the seventh state in the new Confederacy. Gov. Sam Houston was against secession, and strug- gled with loyalties to both his nation and his adopted state. His firm belief in the Union cost him his office when he refused to take an oath of allegianceMarch to the new government.
