Not In Our Blood The "Othering" Of Hiv/Aids In South Carolina, Kortney Lapeyrolerie

Theses & ETDs

This thesis posits that stigma and othering, secured and fortified by structural violence, surround the community of people living with HIV/AIDS in South Carolina. This thesis is largely based on ethnographic research carried out at an HIV/AIDS prevention and HIV/AIDS-related services center, which I call the Agency. The following chapters are a combination of data from the field site with historical research. A brief national and local historical account look into how the roles of stigma, othering, and structural violence played a role in reporting about HIV/AIDS and the care of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Data from fieldwork explores …

Funds from the ABPP grant allowed the MRD to undertake historical research and archeological investigations on cultural resources remaining on the Charleston Harbor Naval Battlefield, the scene of a protracted struggle from 1861 to 1865 between Confederate defenders and Federal attackers. This report, The Archeology of Civil War Naval Operations at Charleston Harbor, 1861-1865, …

South Carolina Naval Wreck Survey, Christopher F. Amer

Presentations

From 1998 through 2003, the Maritime Research Division (MRD) of the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology (SCIAA) at the University of South Carolina (USC) conducted research into the presence of US Navy shipwrecks in South Carolina waters. The US Navy claimed 96 shipwrecks in the state. However, historical research confirmed that, in fact, only 47 Navy-owned vessels met their demise in state waters. The remaining shipwrecks include, US Army transports, vessels owned by the Confederacy at the time of their sinking, and a number of vessels that flew foreign flags. The United States Navy maintained a presence in South Carolina …

Finding Historic Shipwrecks In The Dynamic Coastal Environment Of Winyah Bay: A Geoarchaeological Approach, Christopher F. Amer

Presentations

This presentation discusses a collaborative research project between the University of South Carolina’s South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology-Maritime Research Division, the College of Charleston, and Coastal Carolina University’s Marine Science Department, interfacing historic coastal zone paleoreconstructions with an archaeological marine remote sensing survey to locate, assess, identify, and conduct preliminary documentation of the Spanish Capitana. The Capitana, one of six vessels used in a failed settlement attempt by the Spanish Crown to gain a foothold in the New World, was lost in 1526 when it grounded and sank approaching Winyah Bay, South Carolina.

Clovis Blade Technology At The Topper Site (38al23): Assessing Lithic Attribute Variation And Regional Patterns Of Technological Organization, Douglas A. Sain

Occasional Papers – Southeastern Paleoamerican Survey

This monograph, by Douglas A. Sain, is based on his master’s thesis research on the organization of Clovis blade technology. This second monograph of the Occasional Papers series of the Southeastern Paleoamerican Survey closely follows the first in terms of the meticulousness of the study, and the new information it provides about the Topper Site. Detailed studies of Clovis material are eagerly sought by Paleoindian archaeologists, enthusiasts, and particularly by lithic analysts. Sain provides a well-rounded literature review for these groups, and an innovative approach to identifying technological blades. The “mixed assemblage” problem resulting when multiple lithic technologies were used …
