Publications
Sacred Places: A Guide to the Civil Rights Sites in Atlanta, Georgia
Mercer University Press
SACRED PLACES is organized around four tours of the important civil rights sites in Atlanta. The first three tours, Auburn Avenue, Atlanta University Center and Surrounding Neighborhood, and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, provide information about sites located within a single neighborhood or that lie along a street. Tour four identifies and describes The Bridge (a sculpture honoring Congressman John Lewis); the Pickrick Restaurant; the “Atlanta Wall,” where Atlanta mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., approved the erection of two wooden and steel barricades in southwest Atlanta in order to prevent integration; and the gravesite of Ruby Doris Smith Robinson. The book also contains historic and current photographs of the sites as well as directions to the sites. Furthermore, the book provides a brief history of the civil rights movement in Atlanta in the 1950s and 1960s including a chronology of the important civil rights events in Atlanta.

First Known Feeding Trace of the Eocene Bottom-Dwelling Fish Notogoneus osculus and Its Paleontological Significance.
PLoS ONE
Background The Green River Formation (early Eocene, about 42–53 Ma) at and near Fossil Butte National Monument in Wyoming, USA, is world famous for its exquisitely preserved freshwater teleost fish in the former Fossil Lake. Nonetheless, trace fossils attributed to fish interacting with the lake bottom are apparently rare, and have not been associated directly with any fish species. Here we interpret the first known feeding and swimming trace fossil of the teleost Notogoneus osculus Cope (Teleostei: Gonorynchidae), which is also represented as a body fossil in the same stratum. Methodology/Principal Findings A standard description of the trace fossil, identified as Undichna cf. U. simplicatas, was augmented by high-resolution digital images and spatial and mathematical analyses, which allowed for detailed interpretations of the anatomy, swimming mode, feeding behavior, and body size of the tracemaker. Our analysis indicates that the tracemaker was about 45 cm long; used its caudal, anal, and pelvic fins (the posterior half of its body) to make the swimming traces; and used a ventrally oriented mouth to make overlapping feeding marks. We hypothesize that the tracemaker was an adult Notogoneus osculus. Conclusions/Significance Our results are the first to link a specific teleost tracemaker with a trace fossil from the Green River Formation, while also interpreting the size and relative age of the tracemaker. The normal feeding and swimming behaviors indicated by the trace fossil indicate temporarily oxygenated benthic conditions in the deepest part of Fossil Lake, counter to most paleoecological interpretations of this deposit. Lastly, our spatial and mathematical analyses significantly update and advance previous approaches to the study of teleost trace fossils.

GigaPan Imagery and Archaeology at the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, Samothrace
Proceedings of the Fine International Conference on Gigapixel Imaging for Science
In this paper we describe the use of gigapixel imagery at the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, an archaeological site on the island of Samothrace, Greece. The Sanctuary was the home of a secret cult that was a particular favorite of Macedonian royalty during the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. Despite the lack of any current structures remaining erect, the dozen buildings are remarkably well preserved and are spectacular examples of classical Greek architecture. We are employing a number of sophisticated advanced visualization tools, including a 3-D reconstruction of the site, computer-animated fly-throughs, and an interactive map. We have undertaken a topographic survey and are integrating georeferenced GigaPans into a geographic information system (GIS). This system will allow us to return to the site in future years, capturing the same scene, thus better informing the upcoming site management plan and allowing us to observe change over time.

Modeling the History of the City
Journal of Map & Geography Libraries: Advances in Geospatial Information, Collections & Archives
Historical atlases and gazetteers have long proved invaluable to scholars examining phenomena with a space-time dynamic. By leveraging geospatial technologies to link spatial features with archive and library collections, historical atlases can be transformed into digital databases and tools for scholars and the public. “Modeling the History of the City” discusses the concept, methods, intended outcomes, and challenges of an ongoing project at Emory University Libraries in remapping early twentieth-century Atlanta.
