The document outlines the cataloging of iron objects at Montpelier, focusing on various types of nails, including wrought and machine cut nails, and their historical significance. Developed by Ivor Noel Hume, the classification and manufacture methods of nails are crucial for archaeological studies, helping to date the changes in the architecture of the Madison home from the 18th to the 19th century. Additionally, it lists other iron objects found and their corresponding NCAT codes.
This document summarizes a presentation by Janelle Harrison on maritime archaeology work conducted by NOAA Ship Fairweather in Alaska. The presentation describes a hydrographic survey near Point Belcher, Alaska that identified potential archaeological sites, including what may be remnants of tryworks from historic whaling activities. The survey utilized multibeam sonar technology to map the seafloor with high resolution and identify anomalous objects for further investigation. A list of references on topics including Alaskan whaling history, hydrographic surveying techniques, and shipwreck identification is also provided.
The document discusses the United Irishmen rebellion from the late 18th century. It summarizes the key events leading up to the rebellion including the American and French Revolutions. It then describes the two failed French invasions of Ireland in 1796 and 1798 aimed at supporting the United Irishmen. Both attempts resulted in battles between the French and British navies in Bantry Bay, Ireland. The document concludes by noting that rebellions often occur in response to tyrannical powers.
Janelle received a rating of "Superior" for her archeological data management at Death Valley in 2010. She is very knowledgeable about various archeological data management programs and ArcMap. She created project templates and user guides to help coworkers. Janelle spent significant time creating high-quality digital maps for a project report and keeps her work and files well organized.
Janelle led two archaeological survey projects at Death Valley National Park in 2010, completing site assessments, documenting new sites, and Assessment of Effect forms. She participated in numerous field projects and backcountry trips. Janelle is experienced with electronic field equipment and properly documents archaeological sites through good notes, photos, and records. She received a rating of "Fully Successful" for her field work.
This letter from Dr. Odell Moon recommends Janelle Harrison for educational opportunities. Dr. Moon had Janelle in a financial accounting class where she performed in the top 5% and demonstrated an ability to learn abstract concepts and apply them to real world situations. He also observed her being a leader among her peers who others turn to for assistance and advice. Dr. Moon encourages providing assistance to Janelle in her educational endeavors.
Janelle Harrison worked for over a year as an Archaeological Project Leader for California State Parks. She participated in archaeological surveys, site recording, testing, mapping, monitoring, and excavation. She also assisted with historic building recording and monitoring. On projects, she demonstrated excellent skills in site identification, photography, GPS use, and testing methods. She worked well with Native American monitors and completed all office and laboratory tasks in a timely manner, producing professional quality work. The letter writer recommends Janelle for any archaeological position, as she is dedicated to continuously learning and has a multidisciplinary perspective that will aid her technical skill development.
Experimental archaeology uses reconstruction and testing to understand past maritime cultures. It allows researchers to experience vessel construction and use, gaining insight into builders' skills and thought processes. Several ship reconstructions are discussed, including the Khufu ship from ancient Egypt and the Kyrenia ship found off Cyprus, revealing details of their design, propulsion, and cargo. Replicas like the Olympias trireme and Viking ships provide data on speed, handling, and crew experience to interpret ancient seafaring. Overall, experimental archaeology brings maritime archaeological findings to life.
The document discusses the evolution of carrack ships from the 13th century onward through the fusion of northern European and Mediterranean shipbuilding traditions. It focuses on the development of the carrack in England, including early examples like the Grace Dieu in 1418. The sinking of the Mary Rose in 1545 marked the end of the prominent use of carracks in Britain as the design became seen as outdated and less stable compared to newer ship types.
The document describes the design of a geodatabase for archaeological data collection at Death Valley National Park. It overviews the design requirements, including using standardized codes from the California state site records and the National Park Service's Archaeological Site Information Management System. The designed geodatabase improves on the original by incorporating more detailed coded domains based on these standards to improve data collection, management and querying. It includes representations, relationship classes, topology rules and other improvements over the original geodatabase design.
The document includes a detailed map of the repair project areas located within Death Valley National Park, specifically highlighting Bonnie Clare and Ubehebe Crater roads. It features geographical coordinates and a reference key to previous archaeological surveys conducted in the region. The map provides insights into specific locations such as Scotty's Castle and various peaks within the park.
