Joint Courts Complex Archaeological Data Recovery Project
URL: http://www.pima.gov/JointCourts/
Organization: Pima County, Arizona, and Statistical Research, Inc.
Region: sw us
Comments: The Joint Courts Complex website provides information about an ongoing archaeological data recovery project in downtown Tucson, Arizona. The project is being conducted for Pima County, Arizona, by Statistical Research, Inc., in advance of the construction of a joint City of Tucson/Pima County courts building. In addition to some prehistoric remains and foundations, privies, and trash deposits from late nineteenth and early twentieth century domestic and commercial use of the project area, the site includes most of the land that was used as Tucson's National Cemetery from the 1860s to the 1880s. This was the first cemetery established in Tucson after southern Arizona became a part of the United States. It consisted of a small military section from which most of the burials were removed in 1884, and a larger civilian cemetery used by the primarily Hispanic population of Tucson. It is estimated that between 1120 and 1150 individuals were buried in the cemetery. Pima County has two goals for the project: 1) the respectful removal and reburial of all human remains within the project area, and 2)the development of an important contribution to our understanding of Tucson's transformation from Native American village to modern, multicultural city. The website, which is updated monthly, includes copies of the background reports for the project, progress reports, photos, and maps.

St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research
URL: http://www.secar.org
Organization: SECAR-The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research
Region: north america
Comments: St. Eustatius (or Statia) was the primary trans-shipment center between Europe, the West Indies and the Americas between 1760 and 1800. For much of the American Revolution, Holland and France supplied US forces with much needed arms and ammunition through this port. Finally, the existence of the United States was first recognized by a foreign power here in November 1776 when a salute was fired to the USS Andrew Doria. Although the island is only 7 km by 5 km (5 miles by 2 miles), there are over 90 documented plantation sites, 600 warehouse ruins, six church sites, numerous urban domestic and commercial structures (houses, taverns, brothels, stores, printing presses etc), 20+ fortifications, and an estimated 200+ shipwrecks located on and around the island. As a result, the island is considered to have the densest concentration of colonial period artifacts and sites for any location of comparable size anywhere in the world. Also, pre-historic sites are some of the best preserved in the Caribbean. A wide range of archaeological projects have been undertaken since 1979 by the College of William and Mary (USA), Leiden University (The Netherlands), and the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UK). The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (SECAR) has been established on the island as a permanent research facility designed to permit a continuous excavation program during the entire year. Many US and UK universities allow academic credit to be earned through participation in SECAR projects. We are currently working on the possible site of Free Black Village just on the outskirts of Oranjestad. Recent projects have included discovery of a colonial Jewish Ceremonial Bath or Mikveh at Synagogue Honen Dalim (one of the oldest in the New World) and a Pottery Production site on Oranje Bay, and the first paleopathological study of a leper asylum anywhere in the New World. Similar projects are ongoing. Underwater archaeological programs may be under way as well.

Comments: Over the course of the next few years, Chris Merritt, University of Montana Ph.D. Student will begin to accumulate a database of Chinese archaeological and historical sites across the state of Montana.

Working in partnership with the Montana State Historic Preservation Office, the United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and numerous private land owners, Merritt will travel the state and record sites and stories relating to the Chinese in Montana.
The Organisation of International Trade in Iceland and Shetland (ca. 1400-1700)
URL: http://www.dainst.org/index.php?id=8202&sessionLanguage=en
Organization: Roman-Germanic Commission / German Archaeological Institute
Region: europe
Comments: The website provides information on a project researching the trade of english and hanseatic merachants with Iceland and Shetland during the period of ca. 1400 to 1700. The main research questions are the development, operation and impact of European trade in two key areas in the north Atlantic Iceland and Shetland. Around the start of the fifteenth century European merchant vessels began to push into the Atlantic. While the Spanish and Portuguese merchants began venturing westwards and southwards, English and Hanseatic vessels turned towards the north. The central issue to be examined is the changing manner in which the trade between merchants from commercialized countries and those from subsistence economies took place, within the context of colonialism and mercantilism.
