Who: Sasha Thompson, from Yonkers, NY - Currently enrolled as a senior at CUNY Hunter College, majoring in classical archaeology with a developing interest in pursuing interdepartmental osteoarcheology; attended Dunkerhook Archaeological field school at Montclair State University in the Summer of 2021, in association with Hunter College and Harvard University; areas of interest include Bioarchaeology, Classical Archaeology, North American Historical Archaeology, Preservation, Heritage conservation and collective remedial anthropological processes.

What: Dunkerhook: Transition, Acculturation and Resilience

In the mid-19th century, formerly enslaved Africans founded an emergent locality at Dunkerhook, establishing a community of their own. The community flourished and African American occupancy in the area continued to expand into the early 20th century. Recent archaeological excavation carried out at Dunkerhook has yielded a remarkable volume of household artifacts that could offer more insight into the everyday lives of free people of color. This paper will address artifacts recovered from the Island Lot site and examine their potential link to socio-economic status, acculturation, and ethnic identity. Excavation unit 8 and 9 will serve as the concentration, with an emphasis tea ware and ceramic assemblages.

Join the ASNJ on Sunday (June 19) for our Online Speaker Series on Zoom. The presentation will be roughly 20 minutes, followed by a question and answer period.

Who: Dr. Greg Lattanzi (Curator/State Archaeologist, New Jersey State Museum)

What: Current Research on Paleoindians in New Jersey: An Update

New Jersey's first attempt at identifying and accounting for Paleoindian occupations was Ronald J. Mason's 1959 publication. Since that time hundreds more fluted points, fluted point fragments, and archaeological sites have surfaced adding to the ever-growing database. This presentation is an update to one given a few years ago. As a possible result of increased storms and erosion due to the impacts of climate change, many more artifacts have been identified since then. I will be discussing these new discoveries, updates to the Paleoindian database and discuss possible mitigation measures.

Join the ASNJ on Sunday (April 24) for our Online Speaker Series on Zoom. The presentation will be roughly 20 minutes, followed by a question and answer period.

"Located just south of Poolesville, Maryland, the African American community of Sugarland was founded by formerly enslaved people. The Sugarland Ethno-History Project documents and keeps the memory of this community alive through the restored 1893 church, nearby cemetery, and over 1,000 artifacts and documents that tell the broader experiences of African Americans from bondage to present day. This video is dedicated to the memory of Gwendora Hebron Reese (1941-2021).

Who: Mark Nonestied

What: "Scattered Piles of Wreckage" The Maritime Legacy of Middlesex County

Middlesex County has a maritime history that stretches back to its earliest days. The navigable waterways were used to transport a variety of goods and people throughout the region and abroad. The Raritan River, Raritan Bay and Arthur Kill saw expanded use during the industrial revolution as vast amounts coal, clay, sand and other products were shipped in bulk from docks in Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Sayreville and New Brunswick. Maritime salvage operations were conducted in Perth Amboy by John H. Gregory whose "graveyard" of ships dotted the Perth Amboy waterfront. This maritime history is explored in an illustrated talk that also discusses what remnants of these vessels survive today.

Who: Richard Veit, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology, Monmouth University

What: Searching for the “Lighthouse Fort and the Refugee Town” on Sandy Hook, Public Archaeology at a Storied Historical Site

ABSTRACT:

Since 1764 the Sandy Hook Lighthouse has guarded the treacherous approaches to New York Harbor. During the American Revolution, Continental forces unsuccessfully tried to deny the British control of the lighthouse. British troops and partisans captured Sandy Hook early in the war and, despite repeated raids by Continental forces, retained control of the Hook until the end of the conflict. Indeed, the British fortified the lighthouse and Loyalists, many of African descent, constructed a Refugee Town near the light which served as a base of operations for raiding parties along the Jersey shore. Monmouth University’s 2016 archaeological field school was a cooperative endeavor between a private university and the National Park Service, designed to investigate the lighthouse property while providing local residents with an opportunity to participate in archaeological fieldwork at a significant local historic site. The project resulted in an improved understanding of the site and built local interest in regional archaeology. It provides a model for public archaeology at a beloved nationally-significant historic site.

I have over a decade of archaeological experience in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, working for academic and non-profit institutions, as well as in cultural resource management since 2010. As a former and active member of several professional organizations, I have participated in panel discussions, presented original research, and served as a steering committee chair for the CNEA. My interests and areas of expertise include material culture analysis and collections management. I am eager to share my ideas for expanding ASNJ’s public outreach efforts and advocate for use and preservation of archaeological collections in New Jersey. Thank you for your consideration.

I have been involved in New Jersey archaeology since 2008 as a professional archaeologist in cultural resource management, a member of the ASNJ, and volunteer for preservation-focused projects and public lectures. I received an MA in Education from Central Michigan University, an MA in Anthropology from Monmouth University, and a Certificate in Global Social Archaeology from Kyushu University in Japan. I served as the 2nd Vice President (Membership) for the ASNJ between 2016 and 2019, and hope to once again be involved with assisting Board operations and facilitating community engagement with local history and archaeology. As a member of the ASNJ and a Member-at-Large, I look forward to promoting diverse perspectives and inclusive educational opportunities, and developing new relationships with communities and organizations. I currently serve as a programs coordinator for the Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission, a grassroots herbalist, and am a Registered Professional Archaeologist.

Who: Matt Tomaso and Carissa Scarpa

What: Feltville: Before and After David Felt

This presentation will provide an overview of New Jersey’s longest run community-based archaeology project within a village that no longer has a resident community.  The senior author will present a retrospective discussion summarizing about 25 years’ worth of archaeological and historical work involving Union County’s “Deserted Village” which highlights the role of archaeology in constructing not just history and historical communities, but those of the present day. The most intensive archaeological investigation of the Feltville Archaeology Project began in 1999 upon the discovery of a 4-by 5-meter cellar hole, an 18th  through 19th  century rural homestead site on the margins of the village that came to be known as the Raddin-Badgley House Site. Carissa Scarpa, who participated in the subsequent Raddin-Badgeley field investigations from 2000 to 2004, recently completed the analysis and reporting for that site, and will discuss the site within the context of the Village’s history and, in particular, her reflections on what the material culture at the site might tell us about the lives of those who lived there.
