Not long ago, Pennsylvania potter, Jack Troy declared "if North America has a ‘pottery state’ it must be North Carolina, as there is probably no other state with such a highly developed pottery consciousness,"  – and he is right!  North Carolina’s pottery heritage is unique in many ways:  it is the most southern state with a well-developed earthenware tradition (ca. 1750s);  it is the most northern state with an alkaline-glazed stoneware tradition, in addition to its salt-glaze; its early...

Slipware ceramics have been unearthed in large quantities at archaeological sites around Philadelphia, most recently, at  the site of the future Museum of the American Revolution at the corner of 3rd and Chesnut Streets in Old City. What is known as the Philadelphia style was a mixing of two European traditions of slip decoration brought across the Atlantic with the earliest settlers: first English and then German. While many of the slip trailed designs appear similar, they vary in simple ways...

Since 2008 numerous previously unknown early colonial homestead sites have been discovered in association with a network of cart roads established from the 1670’s to connect the Upper Chesapeake Bay with the lower Delaware River.  The research, commissioned by the Delaware Department of Transportation as part of the U.S. Route 301 highway project, is drastically revising models of settlement in the region.  The cart roads were used for both legal commerce and an extensive illicit trade, the...

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeologies of Contact, Colony, and Resistance" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. For nearly half a century, prevailing models of post-Contact Native American demography have held that the appearance of Europeans and Africans in the New World sparked a rapid and catastrophic population decline across North America in the sixteenth century. Recent archaeological investigations in the Pueblo Southwest and elsewhere...

In addition to the spread of Chinese populations around the Pacific Rim in the nineteenth century, Chinese manufactured goods also were sold throughout the South Pacific. Fijian’s, Tongans, and Maoris purchased Chinese Ceramics and iron implements. The Chinese immigrants who lived on islands in the region also provided needed services. Bakeries and grocery stores and retail stores ran by Chinese owners carried goods manufactured in China. The end result was an archaeological signature that...

This is an abstract from the "Small Finds, Big Stories" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Buttons, marbles, doll parts, beads: all are rare archaeological finds that capture our attention. Small and infrequently recovered artifacts are the focus of this three-minute forum. While small in size, such artifacts have the potential to open the world of daily life in the past: bodily care, sewing and mending, personal appearance, play, etc. Presenters in...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recent excavation in advance of road culvert replacement yielded unusual finds adjacent to the ruins of the National Register listed Yale Lock Factory in Newport, central New York State. Proposed construction plans limited the survey to an area less than 520 square meters (0.13 acre), but more than 4000 artifacts were recovered including 15 quartz crystals locally known as Herkimer...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Small pre-contact structures throughout the Southwest that lie on the periphery of large village sites are often classified as “field houses”, a term that carries with it the assumption that these structures were utilized seasonally, occupied for a short duration of time, and whose function is tied to agricultural practices. The uncritical and widespread...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Current Research at the Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The El Gigante rockshelter is located in the highlands of Honduras and has an occupation history dating back to 10,000 years B.P. In 2001, a composite artifact consisting of hide and rope was excavated from this site. After excavation, this leather was folded and stored in a plastic bag. Through...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Lives Revealed: Interpreting the Human Remains and Personal Artifacts from the Civil War Submarine H. L. Hunley" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley was lost with eight crewmen off the coast of South Carolina on February 17, 1864. As a hand-powered, short-range vessel, the boat was not designed to live aboard. The men carried only what they needed for a single excursion....

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Chinese Diaspora archaeology has historically focused on urban contexts or in-depth case studies, with minimal comparative studies. The Oregon Chinese Diaspora Project is a multi-agency partnership conducting research on Chinese migrant populations across the state. This paper focuses on the...

Fashion depicts many aspects of a person's life; from socioeconomic status to personal taste.  Emmie Baker Scott followed the trends of fashionable dress from childhood to her death in 1885.  Her skeletal remains and clothing reveal her family's emphasis on emulating the upper class and the presentation of an ideal Victorian era female figure.  Born to a doctor, his occupation would have brought wealth and social standing to the family.  Emmie might have been scrutinized with increased pressure...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the late 1880s in El Paso, Texas, the establishment of a copper and lead smelter on the Rio Grande later brought about the rise of a community called Smeltertown. This community of workers, families and Mexican nationals from across the border established a thriving community. Located at the intersection of both land and water borders of the U.S. – Mexico...

Identity, a central concept in contemporary historical archaeology theory, has been enlivened by recent scholarship that is mindful of bodily experience. Some scholars emphasize embodiment, others explore further sensory dimensions of historical identities embodied in human and material interactions, including emotion, memory, sensuality, and nostalgia, to explore the sensing body in the material world through sound, smell, touch, sexuality, and emotion.  The intent in focusing on sensual...

At Ames Plantation in Western TN, excavations on the Fanny Dickins Slave House Site (1841-1853) have yielded a plethora of information about the everyday lives of the enslaved population. However, little is known about the smoking habits of these dynamic individuals. More can be revealed through employing multiple lines of evidence to generate nuanced understandings of choices surrounding the use of specific pipes and the varieties of plants smoked, such as tobacco and jimson weed. Conducting...

The city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, rapidly industrialized throughout the 1860s and 1870s. The close proximity to the region’s natural resources and major east coast markets placed Harrisburg at the forefront of the American industrial revolution in the late nineteenth century. The Harrisburg Nail Works represented one of the largest industrial complexes in the Harrisburg region during this time. The owners of the Harrisburg Nail Works designed a factory system that stressed surveillance and...

This project centers on Plains-Pueblo interaction in the late-prehistoric and protohistoric periods. It analyzes how trade and inter-regional interactions were ritually mediated between these two culture groups, through the examination of pipes and smoking materials used in economic interactions at pueblos in the Northern Rio Grande area of New Mexico. Ethnographic and ethnohistoric literature indicates that pipe-smoking was part of rituals that cemented inter-tribal trade relationships. The...
