*Society for American Archaeology Gives Award to National Park Service
Archeologist*

Jeff Burton is the 2017 recipient of the SAA’s Excellence in Cultural
Resource Management Award for his administrative and management skills as
well as for his promotion of socially relevant aims for the archeological
profession. As a manager and administrator, he was able to mobilize limited
funds and resources efficiently and effectively to underscore the NPS
mission. In his public outreach program he shows future generations that
archeology can be directed to socially relevant work in the interests of
the public good. Burton’s work on the incarceration of Japanese-Americans
during World War II illustrates how archeology can be employed to
illuminate racism in the treatment of immigrants.

*NPS Employee and Yarrow Mamout Archeology Project Wins Annual DC
Preservation Award*

The 2015 Yarrow Mamout Archaeology Project has won the 2017 District of
Columbia Preservation Award for Excellence in Archaeology. The District of
Columbia Office of Planning and Historic Preservation Office, in
partnership with the DC Preservation League and the Daughters of the
American Revolution, presented the 14th annual District of Columbia Awards
for Excellence in Historic Preservation on May 23, 2017, in the historic
DAR Constitution Hall.



Yarrow Mamout, an enslaved African Muslim, arrived in Maryland in 1752, at
the age of 16. After his emancipation in1796, he lived in Georgetown at
3324 Dent Place, N.W. from 1800 until his death in 1823. He sat for two
formal portraits still extant--one by Charles Wilson Peale in 1819 and the
other by James Alexander Simpson in 1822. (The Simpson portrait is hanging
in the National Portrait Gallery through 2019.) Mamout was reportedly
buried in his garden, where he was known to pray.



The Yarrow Mamout Archaeology Project was initiated by citizens who worried
that the historical integrity of the property at 3324 Dent Place would be
destroyed by development. Archeological excavations conducted by the D.C.
Historic Preservation Office, were carried out June-November 2015. Mia
Carey and Charde Reid, Assistant City Archaeology, were the Project's Field
Directors; Ruth Trocolli, the City Archaeologist, was the Project's
Principal Investigator; Charles Leedecker, formerly of Louis Berger Group,
was the Project Archaeologist; Muhammad Fraser-Rahim was the project's
Muslim History consultant.



The project recovered over 17,000 artifacts, but have yet to positively
identify anything that can be directly associated with Mamout. However,
through public engagement, the project collaborated with the local Muslim
population and increased awareness of the long history of Islam in America.



Mia Carey, currently acting NPS Civil War to Civil Rights National
Coordinator, wrote her dissertation on Yarrow Mamout. Carey’s dissertation
used critical race theory aided by archeology to confront race, racism, and
Islamophobia in the dominant historical narrative. Carey specifically
examined how white privilege as an ongoing historical process silenced of
the history and legacy of African Islam and helped create the assumption
that recent immigrants and their children are the true representations of
Islam and that Islam is a "foreign" religion. Carey also works with the Arc
to Equality (A2E) a service-wide community of practice to tell the stories
of all Americans.



*National Park Service Northeast Region Hires New Anthropologist*

The NPS Northeast Region has hired a new anthropologist. David Goldstein
will lead the ethnography program in the Northeast Region and assist parks
and programs with their ethnographic needs.

Goldstein comes to the NPS Northeast Region with more than 20 years of
research and community development. Raised in Detroit, Michigan,
Goldstein's research interests center on sustainability of subsistence
farming, with a particular interest in the role of trees and shrubs. His
doctoral research investigated the sustainable use of dry tropical forests
in the past and present in one of Peru’s first national sanctuaries.
Additionally, he has managed archeological and ethnobotanical research in
Cuba, the US Virgin Islands, Belize, and Bolivia. Prior to his work as an
anthropologist, Goldstein trained and worked as an objects conservator.



In the NPS, Goldstein has worked as the interpretation division chief for
the three park units on Saint Croix, US Virgin Islands. More recently,
Goldstein was Urban Liaison/Fellow in Detroit. In this position, he worked
to connect NPS programming in a city with no physical park unit, but with
multiple federal program resources. Part of this work was to convene
stakeholders around NPS assets like the Underground Railroad-Network to
Freedom, Land Water Conservation Fund sites, River Trails Conservation Fund
projects, and National Register and National Landmark properties.

Goldstein is duty-stationed in Lowell, Massachusetts.



*National Park Service Wilderness Archeology Resource Management Guidance
Released*

The NPS Archeology Program has posted a new chapter of the Archeology
Reference Guide. The *Archeological and Other Cultural Resources and*
*Wilderness* module of *RM 28A: Archeology (NPS Archeology Guide)* provides
agency-specific technical guidance for identifying and managing
archeological and other cultural resources in wilderness.



The NPS has argued in court (Wilderness Watch, Inc. v. Creachbaum) that the
Wilderness Act does not mandate decay or destruction of all cultural
resources in wilderness. It also argued that the National Historic
Preservation Act does not require preservation of the material fabric of
all cultural resources. This guidance is intended to assist in responsible
and defensible decisions about the management of archeological and other
cultural resources in wilderness.



Karen Mudar developed and wrote the module, with the assistance of subject
matter experts: Mark Calamia, Kayci Cook, Jill Cowley, Eileen Devinney,
Sandra Dingman, Mike Evans, Ann Hitchcock, Barbara Judy, Jeremy Karchut,
Laura Kirn, Rachel Mason, Jeff Rasic, Laura Schuster, Joe Watkins, Jacilee
Wray, and Pei Lin Yu. Matt Burns designed and built the webpages.

*National Park Service Archeologists Continue International Partnership in
Slave Wrecks Project*

In April 2017, the NPS Submerged Resources Center (SRC) and Southeast
Archeological Center (SEAC) continued the third season of field operations
and training for the Slave Wrecks Project. The team was joined by
archeologists from Senegal (Adama Athie, Ibrahima Thiaw and Adama Athie
from University Cheikh Anta Diop in Dakar) and Mozambique (Celso Simbine
and Anezia Asse from Eduardo Mondlane University; and Momande Ossumane).



The team conducted terrestrial and underwater documentation of
archeological features at Christiansted NHS, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin
Islands, and a shipwreck in the waters of Buck Island Reef NM. They
presented two workshops that brought together local community leaders in
heritage education and preservation; and law enforcement officials charged
with protecting the resources of the Virgin Islands.



Archeological efforts at Christiansted NHS identified a cistern or well
during a 2015 ground penetrating radar survey of the grounds in and around
the 18th century Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse. In summer
2017, NPS archeologists will return to Christiansted to expand these
excavations as part of a program to teach University of the Virgin Islands
students archeological field and laboratory methods, and museum curation.


The SRC team surveyed over nine square miles of the waters surrounding Buck
Island Reef NM. Historic records indicate two slave ships sank near Buck
Island while transporting enslaved humans into Christiansted in the early
1800s. The team hoped to discover cultural materials from these ships.
Divers and snorkelers investigated hundreds of magnetic anomalies and
located the remains of at least two shipwreck sites and several historic
anchors. At this time, findings from the magnetic anomalies do not appear
to be from the two wrecked slave ships in question.



The workshop *Community Stewardship and Site Protection *focused on the
value of heritage sites for community, especially on protection of sites
and antiquities related to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The workshop *Site
Protection Through Law Enforcement*, provided by retired NPS Special Agent
Todd Swain. Swain, an expert in archeological and cultural heritage
protection, focused on illegal trafficking and interdiction, applicable
U.S. and international cultural heritage protection laws, heritage site
crimes and crime scene investigation, and methods for conducting site
damage assessment.


During an evening public meeting two of the African archeologists, Ibrahima
Thiaw and Celso Simbine discussed research and heritage protection efforts
in their home countries.


The team made presentations to classes at the University of the Virgin
Islands. The University of the Virgin Islands-Virgin Islands Caribbean
Cultural Center is a collaborative partner in the Slave Wrecks Project. In
2016, a pilot program was begun in which interns from UVI, with guidance
from the NPS oral history program and the National Museum of African
American History and Culture, began to collect and record stories about the
transfer of the Virgin Islands from Denmark to the United States in 1917.


Since 2010, the Slave Wrecks Project has fostered public and scholarly
understanding of the role of the African slave trade in shaping global
history by using maritime archeology to examine enslavement and its
far-reaching global impacts. It is an international collaborative
partnership between the National Museum of African American History and
Culture, George Washington University, the National Park Service, and other
organizations.


This project was sponsored by a grant from the U.S. Department of
State’s Cultural Heritage Center.

*National Park Service Submerged Resources Center Searches for World War II
Aircraft*

The NPS Submerged Resources Center, in partnership with NOAA, is searching
for Battle of Midway sunken aircraft this month. This year is the 75th
anniversary of the battle and this project aims to raise awareness and
honor the legacy of the brave men who helped to turn the tide of the war.
Research into the Battle of Midway is adding an important maritime
component to our understanding of the broader history of World War II in
the Pacific.


Scientists have collected dozens of first-hand observations about wreck
locations at Midway Atoll in addition to locations based upon archival
research that will improve the accuracy of historical accounts of aircraft
losses. Archeologists will work alongside biologists are trying to
understand the way that sunken aircraft and shipwreck sites create habitat
for alien invasive species in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands.


NPS archeologists Bert Ho and Dave Conlin are the archeologists on the
project; Ho is co-PI of the project and field director. NPS photographer
and SRC deputy chief Brett Seymour is the lead for photo documentation of
the project. NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research will be
providing the web coverage. This project also includes FWS as a partner.

*Alaska Archeology Month*

April was Archaeology Month in Alaska, a time to reflect on Alaska’s rich
and exceptionally long-lived cultural traditions that we understand, in
part, through archaeological research. It’s also an opportunity to raise
awareness about preservation of the archaeological record, a non-renewable
resource relentlessly subjected to a range of threats.



This year’s theme for the Archaeology Month poster is the
*Paleoarctic Tradition*, an archaeological culture dating from
approximately 7,000 to 14,000 years ago. These were the first settlers of
Alaska, who made a living hunting, trapping and fishing a smorgasbord of
resources that included now-extinct species such as bison, wapiti (elk),
and horse, along with extant species that include caribou, Dall’s sheep,
waterfowl, small game, and fish. Recent archaeological finds show that
Paleoarctic people had begun to exploit salmon, which in later millennia
would become a major staple of Alaskan subsistence economies.

*Cultural Sites Uncovered in Alaska Island Survey*

A recently completed survey of an island in the Kodiak archipelago
uncovered 14 new cultural sites, including five dating to prehistoric
times. Discoveries made during a survey of Whale Island, located between
Kodiak and Afognak islands, included fox farms, a failed gold mine and an
old homestead. The survey of Whale Island was part of a larger survey
encompassing coastal areas of Afognak Native Corp.'s 248,000 acres of land.
The survey team is mapping the important cultural sites and supporting land
management practices that protect the archeological sites located on the
property. The survey, funded by a NPS Tribal Heritage Grant, is in its
second and final year.



All five of the prehistoric sites had shell middens. Three of these sites
appeared to be seasonal camps from the late-prehistoric period. The shell
middens contained gastropod shells and cod bones. The two oldest, dated to
approximately 3,000 BP, were a small village, and a cod-processing
station.  The survey also identified evidence for fox farming during two
time periods - the early 1900s and the 1930s Depression era – and a gold
mine dating to the early 1900s.

*Beckley Mill Archeological Resources on National Register of Historic
Places*

On May 1, 2017, Beckley Mill, in West Virginia, was officially listed on
the National Register of Historic Places based on its association with
Alfred Beckley and the potential value of its archeological resources.
Beckley built the grist mill along Piney Creek in 1838 to encourage
agriculture and commerce on his wilderness landholdings in western
Virginia.  Alfred Beckley was the son of John Beckley, the first Clerk and
Librarian of Congress, and was the force behind the establishment of the
town of Beckley at the intersection of two historic turnpikes. Since 2013
archeological and historical studies spearheaded by the Raleigh County
Historical Society have demonstrated that the mill exemplifies the
industrial development that occurred in the lower New River region during
the early to mid-19th century.  Over the past year, community leaders and
staff of New River Gorge National River have discussed how the Beckley Mill
might be used to promote heritage tourism.



*Man Indicted Under ARPA for Defacing Fort Sumter National Monument*

A South Carolina man was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of
damaging and defacing an archeological resource — Fort Sumter — in
violation of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and committing a
depredation against property of the United States. Noah Sigalas, 21, is
alleged to have forcibly pulled on a support bar which was stabilizing part
of a casemate wall, causing damage in excess of $1,000. For depredation of
property of the United States, Sigalas faces a potential penalty of 10
years in prison, a fine of $250,000, a term of supervised release of three
years and a special assessment of $100. For a violation of the
Archaeological Resources Protection Act, the potential penalty is a term of
2 years in prison, a fine of $20,000, a term of supervised release of 3
years and a special assessment of $100.



Fort Sumter’s construction began in 1829, and the fort was unfinished when
it was fired upon April 12, 1861 – starting the American Civil War. Ninety
percent of the bricks visitors see at the Fort today are original bricks,
made in the Low country by enslaved African Americans.



Ben Byrnes, chief ranger of visitor and resource protection for Fort Sumter
NM, said that NPS law enforcement rangers vigorously investigate potential
violations of law and take acts of vandalism very seriously. Assistant
United States Attorney Sean Kittrell is prosecuting the case and Special
Agent Chris Schrader, from the Investigative Services Branch of the NPS, is
the lead investigator.

*Oregon Man Sentenced for Damaging Archeological Site*

A Grants Pass, Oregon, man was sentenced in federal court to three years of
probation for excavating and damaging an archeological site on federal
land. Christopher Ruppel was also ordered to pay $2,500 in restitution for
costs associated with restoring the site. U.S. District Court Judge Ann
Aiken sentenced Jason Christopher Ruppel for violating the Archaeological
Resources Protection Act. Ruppel pleaded guilty to the felony charge in
February 2017.



He admitted that in 2013, he violated the Act by digging on BLM land and
damaging a known archeological resource. Ruppel was seen excavating and
removing items from the site on at least seven different days during a
two-month period.



The site is part of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of
Oregon's ancestral homelands. The tribe submitted a letter at sentencing
expressing their concerns about the damage done.



*FEDERAL NEWS*



*Islanders Oppose Archeology Field School in San Juan National Monument*

BLM’s plans to conduct archeological survey in San Juan NM are running into
opposition. Patrick McCutcheon from Central Washington University intends
to survey and shovel test at Iceberg Point on Lopez Island in July, 2017,
during a three-week field school. The archeological investigations are part
of NHPA and NEPA compliance prior to restoration of native species,
including camas. The tribes see the survey as a step toward restoration and
harvest of what used to be one of their most important foods.



But Iceberg Point isn’t wild, exactly: It’s more like a very old,
overgrown garden. “A pre-contact or pre-Columbian agricultural landscape in
which Coast Salish people were gardening camas and other plants for the
villages here on the south end of Lopez,” said biologist Russell Barsh with
Kwiaht, a Lopez-based scientific nonprofit that has been studying the
ecosystem of Iceberg Point for more than a decade.



Native peoples cultivate the plants and slow-cooked the bulbs in
underground pits to turn indigestible starches to sugar. With the
indigenous gardeners displaced by disease and colonization, the camas
prairies, once carefully weeded and tended, were largely abandoned. In
subsequent decades, camas and other wildflowers have been gradually losing
out to trees, shrubs and weeds.



McCutcheon’s Iceberg Point project has the support of at least four western
Washington tribes. Tribes including the Samish and Lummi trace their roots
back to the San Juan Islands and want to restore camas at Iceberg Point, in
part, to bring healthier carbohydrates back to tribal diets. Inulin starch
in plants like camas and cattails helped tribes avoid diabetes, unlike the
white starches and sugars that replaced it.



Barsh, however, is opposed to the archeological research. “The damage will
be irreversible. What’s in that area could include the last remaining
specimens of a number of wildflower species that we’ll never see again, at
least not here in the islands. There are a dozen state-listed and federally
listed plants that cannot be identified after they flower in the spring and
are very likely to be dug up [during the shovel testing].” In addition to
wildflowers, the southern end of Lopez Island supports at least 200 species
of lichens, “and likely many more,” according to biologist Fred Rhoades of
Western Washington University, with at least a dozen regarded as rare
or endangered.



McCutcheon said botanical maps of the area show where to avoid trampling or
digging up rare plants.



The BLM is currently accepting comments from the public prior to further
consultations.

*Lawmakers Want Canyon of the Ancients National Monument Left Intact*

President Trump ordered Interior Secretary Zinke on April 26, 2017, to
review the status of more than two dozen national monuments for possible
modification. Two members of Congress from Colorado are asking the White
House to remove the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, managed by
the BLM, from this list. Senator Cory Gardner and Representative Scott
Tipton argue to maintain the current status of the southwestern Colorado
monument that preserves thousands of archeological sites while allowing
traditional uses of the land. Their recommendation is likely to get a close
hearing.



Using presidential powers conferred by the Antiquities Act, President Bill
Clinton designated the Canyons of the Ancients in 2000. It covers 275
square miles and has more than 6,000 known archeological sites. It’s the
only Colorado site under review by the White House.

*Ice Patch Hunting in the Greater Yellowstone Area, Rocky Mountains, USA:
Wood Shafts, Chipped Stone Projectile Points, and Bighorn Sheep (Ovis
canadensis)*by Craig Lee and Kathryn Puseman. American Antiquity 82(2),
2017, 223-243.

Ice patches are areas of snow that have persisted over long periods of
time. Unlike glaciers, ice patches do not move, and are a record of climate
and human use. The currently melting ice patches are sources of organic
cultural materials that are more often lost than discarded.  Finds of
hunting equipment, thus, complement the inorganic lithic materials and
intentionally discarded organic materials found in open air sites, and
caves and rockshelters.


This paper examines of nine unique wooden shafts and shaft fragments
related to hunting from five sites at Greater Yellowstone area (GYA) ice
patches. Five shafts are made of birch, two are of willow, one is fir, and
one is pine. The shafts range in age from 9230 BP to 215 BP. One of the
four sites that yielded wooden shafts contains a record of bighorn sheep
hunting between 3885 and 879 BP. Researchers also examined animal bones
found at ice patches, and concluded that bighorn sheep were the primary
prey for hunting expeditions. Along with preserving ice patches for many
hundreds of years, the cold climate of alpine areas contribute to
preservation of sheep traps and corrals, further indications of sheep
hunting. These findings are consistent with tribal oral traditions
regarding use of alpine areas.


Ice patches in the GYA are all located on public lands and land managers
are coordinating efforts to manage ice patches. Agencies commissioned a
study to identify ice patches with the highest potential for cultural
and/or paleo-biological materials; an aerial survey to document ice
patches; and a baseline report for monitoring the most promising ice
patches. In addition, the Glacier NP Ice Patch Project has begun hosting
map-based links to ice patch projects and news stories worldwide.


Craig Lee gave a webinar on ice patch research in the NPS ArcheoThursday
webinar series. To view his talk, go to https://www.nps.gov/

*Zinke Halts Plans to Transfer Bison Range Management*

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has reversed plans to give management of
Montana’s National Bison Range to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai
Tribes. The tribes will, however, still play a “pivotal role” in
discussions about the future of the range, 29-square miles of hilly
fenced-in grasslands with 350 bison. The refuge, currently run by the FWS,
is located completely within the Flathead Indian Reservation. The federal
government established the refuge in 1908 to save bison from extinction.



The transfer, strongly supported by the tribe, was proposed last year under
the Obama administration. Under the plan, the Interior Department would
transfer the range to the BIA to hold in trust, and the FWS would hand over
management to the tribes.



The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a Washington,
D.C.-based environmental advocacy group that opposed a previous attempt in
2010 to share management of the refuge with the tribes, sued over the plan
proposed by the Obama administration. The case is pending.
