This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In recent years, conservators have identified risks associated with the use of sucrose as a bulking agent for waterlogged wood. These include shrinkage, color change, failure to support highly degraded wood, and difficulty in detecting microbial bacteria. Experiments are planned to test the results of conservation on wood samples recovered from a Spanish colonization vessel (Emanuel Point...

The mechanical din of the Industrial Revolution is not typically associated with 19th century Southern US plantation life.  However, the advances in science and technology resulting from the Industrial Revolution enabled the Louisiana sugar industry to flourish in spite of climatic restrictions.  Chatsworth Plantation (16EBR192) operated in East Baton Rouge Parish from the late 1830’s until the bankrupt plantation was sold at a Sheriff’s auction in 1928.  The Chatsworth Plantation sugar mill was...

The situation in French Guiana was not the same as in the other French overseas territories (West Indies or Reunion Island) where sugar was grown. Here, visible remains of the colonial sugar and rum industries are hardly found. Only the foundations of factory buildings and domestic housing can still be seen, and today in French Guiana,  there is only one factory which is still producing rum. Furthermore, very little archaeological research has been undertaken on the territory's colonial period. ...

From 1880 to 1917 the "El Progreso" sugar plantation operated on San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos, using steam-driven mechanized sugar processing.  Despite its remote location, this large operation took advantage of the latest industrial technology. Machinery was imported from factories in Scotland and the United States, and a number of specialized machines were used in sugar processing and alcohol production.  After the death of the plantation owner at the hands of his workers in 1904, the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sugar, its cultivation, production, trade, and consumption, is intricately linked to past and present global colonial landscapes. In Australia, its growth and manufacture throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries held strong and often overlooked associations with the American Civil War, Atlantic slave trade and abolition of...

This presentation outlines archaeological research focused on the nineteenth-century, British sugar plantation settlement at Lamanai, northwestern Belize. Little is known about the eighteenth- and nineteenth- centuries at Lamanai, and this ongoing project aims to answer questions regarding how life (residential, industrial, and administrative) was structured. Archaeological data presented here includes the results of recent archaeological excavations (2014) and a study of previously excavated...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Sal, Bacalhau e Açúcar : Trade, Mobility, Circular Navigation and Foodways in the Atlantic World", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The French sugar activity, trade and production, is necessarily maritime because of the climate required for the cultivation of cane. It thus participates, from the 16th century, in the development of the atlantic then transatlantic economy. Having the tools necessary for the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Sal, Bacalhau e Açúcar : Trade, Mobility, Circular Navigation and Foodways in the Atlantic World", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recurring tension and outright warfare between the Netherlands and Britain in the 17th century did not prevent Dutch ships from transporting desirable goods from their far-flung trading outposts to the expanding North American colonies. An examination of material culture and...
