This is an abstract from the session entitled "In Small Islands Forgotten: Insular Historical Archaeologies of a Globalizing World", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Antarctica has no native populations and is predominantly presented as wilderness, an untouched natural landscape. However, humans have been there since the South Shetland Islands were first sighted around the 1820s. Historical archaeological studies have connected these remote islands to the...

East Base Historic Monument, Stonington Island, Antarctic Peninsula: Part I: A Guide for Management, Part II: Description of the Cultural Resources and Recommendations (1993)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Catherine Holder Spude. Robert L. Spude.

In October 1989 East Base, Stonington Island, Antarctic Peninsula, was designated as a historic monument under the Antarctic Treaty. The monument was described in the treaty as follows: East Base, Stonington Island (6811S, 67W). Buildings and artifacts and their immediate environs. These structures were erected and used during two U. S. wintering expeditions: the Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941) and the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948). The historic area is 1000 meters in...

"Heritage at Risk": Cultural Heritage Management in the Antarctic (2007)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Sherrie-lee Evans.

Currently, the greatest threat to Antarctic heritage sites comes not from climate change but from the management of these sites by Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties (ATCP’s) – in particular, by their implementation of Annex III of the Madrid Protocol. The Protocol generated a political urgency to ‘clean up the environment’ which has increased the risk of damage to cultural resources. While, the cleanup requirements in Annex III stipulate that cleanup should not damage historic items, the...

Heroic Networks: Museum Objects and the ‘Heroic Age’ of Antarctic Exploration (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Henrietta L Hammant.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Pre-Recorded Video Presentation Things and the Global Antarctica", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Popular interest in figures like Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton can mean that museum collections relating to the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration (broadly categorised as the late 19th – early 20th century) risk representing explorers as working alone to achieve heroic feats. In reality,...

Inhabiting and being Inhabited by Antarctica, Feedback from the Antarctic Field (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elisa Dupuis. Emmanuelle Sultan.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Pre-Recorded Video Presentation Things and the Global Antarctica", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the framework of the interdisciplinary program HABIT-ANT? (inhabiting Antarctica and being inhabited) a research axis aims to mobilize the tools of contemporary archaeology to approach the relationships to Antarctica developed on and off site. In this perspective, processes and phenomena related to habitation...

SCAR Bulletin: Twenty-seventh Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, Cape Town, South Africa, 24 May-4 June 2004 (2005)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: system user

Cape Denison, Commonwealth Bay is one of the principal sites of early human activity in Antarctica. It is the location of the base of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14 organized and led by Dr (later Sir) Douglas Mawson. An important symbol of Antarctic exploration (1895-1917), it is one of only six hut sites remaining from this period. Cape Denison hosted some of the earliest comprehensive studies of Antarctic geology, geography, terrestrial magnetism, astronomy, meteorology,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Historical Archaeology with Canon on the Side, Please”: In Honor of Mary C. Beaudry (1950-2020)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The ideas and proposals of Mary Beaudry have left their mark, on Historical Archaeology and of course on the way we approach the works on the first human occupations, at the beginning of the 19th century, of the Antarctic continent. Groups of marine mammal hunters came to these...

"Time is the substance I am made of". Human Impermanence and Architectural Objects in Contemporary Antarctica (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Maria Victoria Nuviala Antelo. Maria Violeta Nuviala Antelo. Maria Ximena Senatore.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Pre-Recorded Video Presentation Things and the Global Antarctica", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The prevailing image of Antarctica as a natural and pristine territory has been reinforced by the Treaty System policies on environmental protection toward the minimization of human impact. In this framework, humans have been perceived as transient visitors and 'things' as removable objects. This presentation...

"Well-Found Ship, Full Equipment, and High Hopes": Material Culture Studies and the Outfitting of Historic Antarctic Expeditions (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah M. Pickman.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Pre-Recorded Video Presentation Things and the Global Antarctica", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Human experiences of Antarctica have often been mediated through scientific expeditions, which can operate only with a full complement of equipment. The importance of some of this equipment, such as scientific instruments, is readily apparent. Yet what can we learn from examining more mundane gear that is no...
