A "Little Alsace" for the Lone Star State: Alsatian Migration and the Construction of Place, Narrative, and Identity on the Texas Frontier (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia G. Markert.

This paper examines placemaking and identity in the Alsatian colonies of Texas. On the eve of Texas statehood, Alsatian migrants settled lands to the west of San Antonio. Displaced or disenfranchised by the turmoil of 19th century Europe, Alsatian families, often farmers, responded to advertisements by empresarios touting free passage, land, and opportunity in a "land of milk and honey." They arrived unprepared for the harsh realities of the Texas landscape, particularly life on the Republic’s...

A “Little Bang” at the Start of the Little Ice Age? Late Mississippian Mound Center Chronology in the Upper Tombigbee River Drainage (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anthony Krus. Charles Cobb. Brad Lieb. Edmond Boudreaux III.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Mississippian presence in the Upper Tombigbee River (UTR) drainage is represented by dispersed communities and single-mound centers with modest-sized occupations. The artifact sequence for the UTR closely mirrors that of the neighboring Moundville polity and the UTR traditionally has been viewed as having occupations that extended throughout the...

Little Guns on the Big Elk: Discovering Fort Hollingsworth (1813-1815), Elkton, Maryland (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Gibb. William E. Stephens. Peter Quantock.

Fort Hollingsworth, erected by the citizens of Cecil County, Maryland, in April 1813 to protect the area from British incursions, was one of a series of small breastworks that protected the upper reaches of the Chesapeake Bay and the ‘back door’ to Philadelphia during the War of 1812. Fort Hollingsworth saw brief action in 1814 and, after the war, was demolished and the land returned to farming. Geophysical survey, exploratory soil borings, and detailed topographic mapping, and focused...

"Little necessaries or comforts": Enslaved Laborers’ Access to Markets within the Anglophone Caribbean (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lynsey A. Bates.

At the household level, analysis of material culture recovered from Caribbean plantation villages has revealed internal groups with differential access to resources. The dynamic economic systems that enslaved people developed necessarily depended on local expectations of labor and subsistence cultivation, as well as Atlantic shifts in commodity prices and political control. Expanding on household studies, I assess marketing strategies between plantation communities by tracing how imported goods...

The Little Things (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew A. Cox.

"It’s the little things…" this often-used quote sums up one of the most important things that I learned while working with Dr. Scott. Whether it was taking the time to show us how to properly sharpen our trowels during an excavation, reminding us to double check our data, and to make sure to keep artifacts together by their respective proveniences when in the lab, each of these little pieces of advice helped to shape my own career. I find her advice on the little things coming back to me at the...

The Little Town That Could: The Railroad in Sandpoint, Idaho 1880-1935 (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bailey M. Cavender.

This paper investigates the history of Sandpoint, Idaho and the impact that the railroad had on it from the time surveyors for the Northern Pacific Railroad arrived in 1880 until 1935. Sandpoint was not only a stopping point for the Northern Pacific, but for the Great Northern Railway as well. The use of the railroad impacted the course of the United States in a major way. By allowing the easier and often safer transportation of goods and people across the county, the national economy was able...

Lives Wrought in the Furnace: New Research on the Labor Force at Catoctin Furnace (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth A. Comer.

Starting in 1776, Catoctin Furnace was a thriving iron-making community at the base of the Catoctin Mountains in northern Frederick County, Maryland. Enslaved blacks and European immigrants comprised the labor force. The growth of large iron-making corporations ultimately doomed this rural industrial complex, and it ceased operation in 1903. We know much about the owners of the complex. However, the story of the laborers is only beginning to emerge. Several archaeological reports and a recent...

The Living and the Dead: The Icelandic Household From Early Medieval to Historic Times. (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimmarie A Murphy. Guðný Zoëga.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Medieval to Modern Transitions and Historical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. How does one reconstruct population demography in the past and what lines of evidence exist to assist in these interpretations? The census of 1703 recorded information about household composition in Iceland and this rich resource has been used as a proxy for early population demography. Until recently, actual cemetery...

Living and Working in the Heart of Seattle: An Archaeological Examination of an Early-Twentieth Century Site in the Cascade Neighborhood (2018)

In 2016, Historical Research Associates, Inc., conducted archaeological testing at an urban site in the Cascade neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Below 15 feet of fill, we identified an archaeological site dating to the early twentieth century. Data recovery excavations at the site focused on four features, including two intact privy shafts containing domestic debris deposited between 1905 and 1910.

Living in Work Spaces and Working in Living Spaces: Intersections of Labor and Domesticity in the Enslaved Community at Montpelier. (2015)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Eric Schweickart.

The lives of the members of the enslaved community at James Madison’s plantation in Virginia, Montpelier, were shaped by the types of work they were expected to do in order to keep the president’s mansion and farm running smoothly. Archaeological excavations at several different early 19th century enslaved households at Montpelier reveal the way their inhabitant’s labors influenced the domestic activities which took place within and around these structures. By comparing and contrasting the...
