During the summer of 2016, students led by Dr. Charles Ewen excavated the proposed Edward Moseley Ruin (now the bake oven at Lot 35) at Brunswick Town State Historic Site. Instead of finding the house and associated buildings of Lot 34, the students uncovered the remains of structure N5 on Lot 35 along with an associated ballast oven.

Focusing on an assemblage of glass medicinal vessels collected from sites occupied by enlisted black troops, married soldiers’ families, and army laundresses, this study considers health management practices within the changing notions of health and disease in the context of nineteenth-century medical movements, including temperance,...

Buffers, Bridges, and Bastards: French Missourian’s Approaches to living in an Occupied Territory (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin Whitson.

After France lost its North American territories in 1763, many Francophone citizens living west of the Mississippi River found themselves suddenly living in Spanish owned lands. They also found themselves staring into the face of an encroaching and overreaching Anglo population to the east. This paper explores a few ways Francophones in Missouri adjusted to the changing political and territorial situation within the region in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Starting with the presence of...

Building a College in Colonial America: evidence from Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA. (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patricia Capone. Sarah Johnson. Diana Loren. Jade W Luiz. Jennifer Poulsen.

Recent excavations in the Harvard Yard have expanded our understanding of investment and institutionalization of education in the 17th century. Archaeology of Harvard's first building demonstrates the richness of material culture used at the dining table and the investment made to construct a significant structure on the landscape. We provide a preliminary analysis of artifact density and distribution of dining and architectural objects of the most recent excavation season, laying the groundwork...

Building a New Ontology for Historical Archaeology Using the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert DeMuth. Kelsey Noack Myers. Joshua J Wells. Stephen Yerka. David Anderson. Eric Kansa. Sarah W. Kansa.

Unlike prehistoric archaeology, there is no general unified system by which historical archaeological sites are classified. This problem, which is in part due to recognized biases in the recording of historic archaeological sites, has resulted in numerous incompatible systems by which various states classify historic sites. This study demonstrates a first step toward providing historical archaeologists with the means of creating a more cohesive ontology for historic site reporting. The advent of...

Building an Anarchist Historical Archaeological Theory (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Edward Gonzalez-Tennant.

The goal of this paper is the articulation of an anarchist historical archaeological theory. The emergence of anarchism as a political philosophy in the late-17th/early-18th centuries suggests that historical archaeologists are well-positioned to articulate the intersections between anarchy and archaeology. This paper provides a brief overview of the central tenets of anarchist theory, and particularly its robust criticism of hierarchy. Anarchists continue to explore issues related to horizontal...

Building Diaspora: Surviving and Thriving in the Shadow of Imperialism (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelly Fong.

In the aftermath of mid-19th century Western imperialist and capitalist expansion in China, the Chinese Diaspora grew beyond Southeast Asia as migrants left southern China for Australia, North America, and South America. Despite being separated by the Pacific Ocean, these Chinese communities in the United States did not live in isolation. Instead, they remained highly connected to their home villages and districts in southern China as well as communities throughout the Diaspora through the...

Building, Burying, Tearing Down: The Role of Destruction in Mississippian Mound Building (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin Nelson. Tamira K. Brennan.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. With their consistent themes of mantle construction, summit use, burning, and burial, earthen monuments of the Mississippi period conveyed shared meanings between people across wide geographical areas. Exceptions to these broader patterns, however, convey meanings that are steeped in local histories and the communities that create those histories. Drawing on...

Building, Dwelling, Thinking: A social geography of a late 17th century plantation. (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew D. Cochran.

In 1712 Richard Jenkins devised his personal estate, located on the Patuxent River near Benedict, Maryland, to three orphans and a woman that he wasn’t married to. Valued at just over 96 pounds sterling, Richard Jenkins’ plantation, was excavated in 2013 by staff from the Ottery Group and the Maryland State Highway Administration. This paper details the archaeological investigation of the c.1680 through 1713 Jenkins plantation, and seeks to emplace the plantation within a multi-scalar narrative...

Buildings and Bling But No Bottles or Bone? Peculiar Findings at the Houston-LeCompt Site (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kerri S. Barile. Emily Calhoun. Kerry S. Gonzalez.

In the summer of 2012, a dozen Dovetail archaeologists and scores of volunteers toiled in the sun to excavate the Houston-LeCompt site, located along the newly proposed Route 301 corridor in central Delaware. Using test units, backhoe scraping, feature excavation, and artifact and ethnobotanical analysis, the team recovered an astounding amount of data on the Houston family and generations of subsequent tenant farmers who worked the land. House cellars, kitchen refuse pits, wells, and sheet...

Built on Sand and Sanguine Expectations: Reconstructing the Layout of a Ghost Town, Signal, Arizona Territory (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bruce O. Schneider.

In 1877 and 1878, Signal, Arizona boomed as the site of stamp mills along the Big Sandy River, processing silver ore from the nearby McCrackin Lode. While many proclaimed the McCrackin Lode would be Arizona’s Comstock, the boom quickly turned to bust. Signal was a remnant of its previous self during the 1880s, with its mills operating sporadically, and had truly become a ghost town by the 1890s. A challenge to understanding a settlement like Signal, and many ghost towns like it, is the complete...

Bullets, Shrapnel, Case, and Canister: Archaeology and GIS at the Piper Farm, Antietam National Battlefield (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen R. Potter. Tom Gwaltney. Karen L. Orrence.

Union and Confederate forces fought at Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862. It was the bloodiest single-day battle in American military history with nearly 23,000 dead, wounded, and missing. Some of the fiercest fighting occurred around the Sunken Road -- the northern boundary of the Henry Piper farm. Over four field seasons, archaeologists conducted a systematic metal-detector survey of the Piper Orchard, site of the Confederates’ retreat from the Sunken Road and...

Bulow Plantation (8FL7): The Main House Kitchen and Remaking of Plantation Landscapes in the Post-Emancipation South (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Simon Goldstone.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "African Diaspora in Florida" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Detached kitchens associated with plantation main houses during the antebellum era are recognized places of intersectionality, wherein a single building served multiple functions – as domestic space for enslaved labor (typically a woman and her children), food preparation for the white enslaver’s family, and various other activities. In Florida,...
