Try this instead :

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

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