Volume 42: Number 3 Fall 2009 Page 2 Images of the Past

After 11 years of service Robert L. Schuyler is stepping down as the editor of the Images of the Past column. Schuyler began the column in 1998 and has worked diligently ever since making it one of the most enjoyable features of the quarterly newsletter. We have all benefited from the entertaining images he has successfully tracked down over the years and we extend our most sincere appreciation and gratitude for his faithful service.

Replacing him as editor of the Images of the Past column is Benjamin C. Pykles, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the State University of New York at Potsdam and a member of the SHA’s History Com- mittee. Pykles received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 2006. His dissertation focused on the history of historical archaeology in North America using the excavations at the 19th-century Mormon city of Nauvoo, Illinois as a case study for the development of the discipline as a whole. The University of Nebraska Press is publishing his book, Excavating Nauvoo: The Mormons and the Rise of Historical Archaeology in America, in April 2010 as part of its series “Critical Studies in the History of Anthropology.”

New Images of the Past During the nearly twenty-five years of excavations in Nauvoo (1961–1984), historical archaeology in Amer- Editor Benjamin C. Pykles ica emerged from its formal beginnings in restoration archaeology and entered the academic world as a legitimate and professional scholarly discipline. Consequently, the historical archaeology of Nauvoo is a particularly illustrative case study in the history of the discipline at large, reflecting the broad national patterns of the field’s develop- ment. Central to all of this were J. C. (“Pinky”) Harrington, widely regarded as the father of historical archaeology in America, and his wife Virginia. The Harringtons were instrumental in the early history of the discipline with their excavations and public archaeology for the National Park Service at Jamestown and elsewhere. They also played important roles in the later professional development of the field, helping found, for example, the SHA itself. Finally, towards the end of their careers, Pinky and Virginia were also responsible for establishing historical archaeology in Nauvoo. In the pictures below you see Pinky excavating multiple cisterns behind the Brigham Young Home in Nauvoo (1966) and Virginia interpreting the excavated well of the Nauvoo Temple (1966).

THE SHA GUIDE TO GRADUATE PROGRAMS MOVES ONLINE!

The hugely successful Society for Historical Archaeology Guide to Higher Education in Historical and Underwater Archaeology (informally known to many readers as the ‘SHA guide to graduate programs’) has traditionally been published in the fall issue of the SHA Newsletter. The Guide now features over forty pages of graduate programs from at least three continents; while this is a powerful symbol of the growth of historical archaeology internationally, the Guide has become so large and successful that the Society can no longer effectively publish it in the Newsletter. The Guide, still compiled by Alicia Valentino, will now instead be published online, on the SHA website, at:

The SHA Silent Auction has quickly become one of the highlights of the Society’s annual conference, and this year’s Auc- tion at the Marsh Mash promises to be another great event. To ensure the success of this important fundraiser, however, we need your help. The Auction is a fun—and painless—way to make a contribution to the SHA.

Donations are now being accepted for the SHA 2010 Silent Auction on Amelia Island. We’re looking for items of all types to offer—from traditional archaeology-related books, services, and field and lab equipment to jewelry, music, food, gift certificates, trips, tours, and more. Please make sure your donation is portable, as the lucky winner will need to get it back home easily.

Please consider helping the Society this year with a donation to the Silent Auction. Donations should be sent to Monica Beck, c/o Florida Public Archaeology Network, 207 E. Main Street, Pensacola, FL 32591. Please send your donation to Monica by 12 December 2009.

Volume 42: Number 3 Fall 2009 Page 42 Introducing the Online Journal Historische Archäologie

In spring 2009 the online journal Historische Archäologie was launched to offer a new and open-access medium for research in the field of historical archaeology. The editors explicitly hope the journal will present all aspects of research and analysis from the late medieval to the modern period. Geographically, the focus is German-speaking Europe. However, contributions from other countries are very welcome. The journal’s time frame under study ranges from the 14th/15th century until today and aims to offer young scientists and established colleagues an opportunity to present their research. This does not primarily mean data structure reports, but rather well- founded methodologically or theoretically oriented papers which are likely to be discussed in professional circles.

The editors also wish to build a bridge to eastern Central Europe, to Scandinavia, and to Great Britain. It is repeatedly said, with some regret, that there is hardly any professional interchange in archaeology between English- and German-speaking colleagues due to the language barrier. This is why the editors wish to publish articles either in English or (at the very least) with a detailed English summary. Only in this way can international attention be drawn to research from German–speaking regions, involving scholars there in interna- tional discussions. Papers will be published quickly and with color illustrations, two advantages of publishing a journal online.

Up to now German-speaking Europe has had no methodological or theoretical forum for postmedieval themes. This gap is now filled.

The bilingual journal (German/English) was created by an editorial team consisting of: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Müller (University of Kiel) Prof. Dr. Jörn Staecker (University of Tübingen) Prof. Dr. Claudia Theune-Vogt (University of Vienna) Dr. Natascha Mehler (University of Vienna)
