3,726-3,750 (10,281 Records)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Students get quickly engaged with archaeological sites and collections when they use digital technologies to tell stories and connect with others. Yet, the wide array of tools available can lead to poorly conceived results when projects need to be completed in the space of one semester by undergraduate students. In this session I will explore options to train students in...
Engaging the Public in Archaeological Conservation: The Development of RIMAP’s Conservation Facility (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 1999 to the present, the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP) has recovered a collection of artifacts with the intention to conserve them. Since excavation, all the artifacts have been put through desalination and preventative conservation measures. This year, through a grant from the Australian National Maritime Museum, RIMAP created an artifact management facility...
Engendered Death: A Comprehensive Analysis of Identity in the Mission System of 17th Century Spanish Florida (2015)
Personal identity, while always fluid, was especially so in the borderlands that made up seventeenth-century Spanish Florida due to the collision of many different cultures within the colonial system. The Spanish missions set up by the Franciscans who travelled to the frontier of Spanish territory in Florida served as places wherein the Apalachee, the Guale, and the Timucua could negotiate issues of identity such as gender, social status, and age. Analysis of cemetery populations excavated from...
Engine at Full Power: How the conservation of USS Monitor’s main engine has become an avenue for outreach. (2013)
In 1987, The Mariners’ Museum (TMM) became the official repository for all objects recovered from the wreck of the USS Monitor. Starting in the 90’s, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began recovering large portions of the ironclad, which led to the retrieval of engineer John Ericsson’s 20-ton steam engine in 2001. Over the last decade, the conservation process has enabled experts to collaborate and provide insight into where and how the engine was fabricated, how it...
Engineering a waterfront: Bulkhead, cribbing, and grillage construction in Alexandria (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Rebuilding The Alexandria Waterfront: Urban Landscape Development and Modifications" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The alteration of the Alexandria waterfront from a wet, muddy river bank along the Potomac River to a productive port city was accomplished through various stages of infilling which ultimately led to bulkhead, cribbing, and grillage construction to create a more permanent artificial landscape in the...
English Building Entanglements between Medieval and Modern (2020)
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. A building’s materials extend beyond the stone, brick, timber, and metals that are visible in its fabric. During the medieval period in England, materials such as timber and stone were managed and accessed through engagement with feudal powers. A series of entanglements, between lords, peasants, and the Catholic...
An English Merchant in the Maryland Frontier: Making Sense of Addison’s Plantation (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Captain John Addison’s earthfast dwelling on the frontier of colonial Maryland has remained an enigma since it was discovered almost 35 years ago. Before Addison became a militia captain and moved to a plantation on the upper Potomac river, he had been a merchant in the provincial capital of St. Mary’s City. The mundane and worldly objects found in a cellar and around the dwelling show a...
Enigmatic Toyah: Archaeological and Historical Evidence of Ethnic Diversity on the Southern Plains, 1350-1600 CE (2018)
In 1528, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was shipwrecked of what is now Texas and recorded the very first European account of the diverse native peoples of the Southern Plains. I present the evidence from the concurrent archaeological phase, Toyah (1350-1600 CE), arguing that the archaeological record is not granular enough to identify ethnic designations such as Cabeza de Vaca witnessed. Rather, the archaeological record reflects likely social structures in which Cabeza de Vaca traveled—a fluid...
Enriching the Narrative: Slow Archaeology and the Interpretation of Life at Kingsley Plantation (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plantation Archaeology as Slow Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Kingsley Plantation holds a pioneering place in African Diaspora archaeology as the site where plantation slavery was first intentionally examined. However, initial excavations in the 1960s and 1980s were limited in scope and resulted in few meaningful interpretations of plantation life. In 2006, a team from the University of...
The Enshrined Pueblos of Montezuma Canyon (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. A long-standing goal of Southwestern archaeology is to understand the reason behind settlement location and why some locations seem to be given elevated status. The Spirit Bird Cave Model presented at the 2003 SAA Annual Meeting pointed to the fact that sacred geography incorporating features of the physical geography played an important role in settlement...
The Enslaved Laborer Settlement at Trents Plantation, Barbados: 1640s-1834 (2016)
Trents Plantation, Barbados has provided a wealth of new information on early plantation life in Barbados. In 2013 I reported on the recovery of the early settlement at Trents Plantation and briefly mentioned the identification of an enslaved laborer settlement on the plantation. This paper focuses on findings related to the enslaved laborer community that was established on the property beginning in the late 1640s. The site was occupied trough the period of slavery and abandoned upon...
Enslavement at Liberty Hall: Archaeology, History, and Silence at an 18th-Century College Campus and Ante-Bellum Slave Plantation in Virginia (2016)
Liberty Hall Academy, the forerunner of Washington and Lee University, operated outside of Lexington, Virginia from 1782 until 1803. When fire consumed the institution’s academic building, the school relocated a half-mile closer to town. Following the move, Andrew Alexander and Samuel McDowell Reid, wealthy local residents and trustees of the school, operated their family farms at the site. Alexander owned between twelve and twenty-four slaves, and on the eve of the American Civil War, Reid...
Enslavement to Enlistment: the US Military in 19th Century African American Migration and Resettlement (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Bridging Connections and Communities: 19th-Century Black Settlement in North America" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As has been recently pointed out, the role of the military in African diaspora studies has been little considered, especially as a vector of migration and resettlement. The site of Fort Snelling in Minnesota offers numerous examples of how such migration was facilitated in the 19th century,...
Enslavement, Maroonage, and Cultural Continuity Outside the Dockyard Walls: Middle Ground, Antigua (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Military Sites Archaeology in the Caribbean: Studies of Colonialism, Globalization, and Multicultural Communities" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. English Harbour, Antigua was home to a Georgian Naval Dockyard used to careen and repair Royal Navy vessels in the Caribbean between 1724 and 1899. The success of these operations relied on enslaved African artisans and labourers. Inside the Dockyard walls, these...
Entangled at the World's Edge: European Relations with the Aru Islands, Eastern Indonesia, during the Colonial Period (2015)
The Aru Islands of the Maluku region in eastern Indonesia have received little attention from historical archaeologists. However, Aruese people and products played a significant role in Maluku before and after European contact. Aruese trade in staples and luxuries often intersected with much larger, better-known trade networks. Each of these larger networks has left a mark on Aruese culture. In this paper, an archaeological survey and an examination of Aru’s post-contact history reveal important...
The Enterprising Career of Tom Savage in Los Angeles’ Red-Light District, 1870-1909 (2016)
In 1909, the "closure" of Los Angeles’s "tenderloin" represented the influence of progressive reform ending an era of the "tacit acceptance" of municipal red-light districts nationally. Existing scholarship has focused on progressive reformers who helped launch the new policy, but there has been scant examination of the male subculture that helped transform the business of prostitution even as the era of regulation came to a close. This paper examines Tom Savage, a saloon-owner, prize-fighter,...
Environment, Religion, and Social Change: the Doane Site Archaelogical Project, Cape Cod, MA (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "New Research on the “Old Colony”: Recent Approaches to Plymouth Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper provides a preliminary report on the 2019 excavations at the Doane Site, Eastham, Massachusetts, on Lower Cape Cod. This project looks at a well-known religious community in a less-clearly-understood time: the century and a half during which the descendants of those called “the Pilgrims”...

Environmental Change and Capitalism: Profit and Exploitation of the Natural World in Colonial Context (2016)
The emergence of capitalism was a driving force in colonial Caribbean development. The institutionalization of slavery, which sustained the economy was but one manifestation of the phenomenon. Environmental exploitation and degradation was another. The Caribbean is a patchwork of non-native plants, damaged ecosystems, transplanted cultures, syncretic identities, and subaltern economic systems, all of which are a legacy of policies that co-evolved with the emergence of mature capitalism as an...
