A Socio-Economic Study of the Ceramics of 322 South Main Street, St. Charles, Missouri
Author(s): Gwyneth Vollman
Year: 2019
Summary
This is an abstract from the "Meaning in Material Culture" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Lindenwood University has uncovered an unusually high density of 19th and 20th century ceramics in just two test units associated with a possible infilled cellar. The site is located along what used to be a small street or alley. The research questions being pursued are based on the idea of these ceramics being the result of primary deposition by businesses along the alley or residents of Main Street. This paper will discuss these ceramics as they relate to the past occupants of this location using socio-economic factors as the focus. Also presented will be information on the past occupants of the site and neighboring parcels along with an inventory and discussion of the ceramics.
