If you REALLY want multiple vhosts to share the same DocumentRoot, set 
the following:

<VirtualHost *>
       ServerName msarchaeology.com
       ServerAlias *.msarchaeology.com
       DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/mdah-live/pubs
       DirectoryIndex ma.html
       UserDir disable
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
       ServerName journalmshistory.com
       ServerAlias *.journalmshistory.com
       DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/mdah-live/pubs
       DirectoryIndex jmh.html
       UserDir disable
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
       ServerName journalmshistory.org
       ServerAlias *.journalmshistory.org
       DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/mdah-live/pubs
       DirectoryIndex jmh.html
       UserDir disable
</VirtualHost>
