Not on an Even Keel: An Archeological Investigation and Interpretation of the Structural Remains of HMS Fowey (1748). (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joshua L. Marano.

One of the primary objectives of the expanded archeological testing of the HMS Fowey shipwreck site was to gather the information necessary to define the extent of future stabilization efforts at the site. Given the substantial loss of archeological material since the site’s initial discovery in 1978, the evaluation and documentation of the surviving intact hull structure was paramount. In addition to providing a thorough documentation of the archeological remains of the surviving structural...

"Not so strange farmers": Rural displacement, colonial agriculture, and economic precariousness in Siin during the 20th century (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only François G. Richard.

This paper uses the results of long-term archaeological survey and oral histories to examine the intersection of rural migrations, colonial rule, and economic impoverishment in the Siin region of Senegal during the 20th century. The Siin is today the theater of acute rural anxiety, a ‘peasant malaise’ carved by the combined effects of ecological crises, declining land productivity, degrading life conditions, and state withdrawal over the past forty years. These worrisome circumstances, however,...

"a [not so] small, but [highly] convenient House of Brick": The St. Paul's Parsonage, Hollywood, South Carolina (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberly Pyszka. Kalen McNabb. Maureen Hays.

Constructed in 1707, the foundational remains of the St. Paul’s Parish parsonage provide a rare opportunity to study an early colonial residence in South Carolina. Based on 2010 excavations, the parsonage was believed to be a traditional hall and parlor plan; however, recent excavations revealed that the parsonage likely had an enclosed projecting entrance tower. While this feature was common in mid-to-late-17th-century houses in England, Virginia, and other English colonies, they are very rare...

Notes on the State of Virginia: Query XI (1801)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson, in his mission to describe Virginia, (more or less unknowingly) writes a small ethnographic chapter on the Native Americans that inhabit his place of interest. One intensely interesting point of discussion lies in Jefferson's short description of his archeological findings of a burial mound.

"…nothing else of great artifactual value" or "…found nothing on the site at all": What remains of an eighteenth century colonial shipwreck in Biscayne National Park? (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Price. Jennifer F McKinnon. Charles Lawson.

The title of this paper illuminates the short sided approach held by those in search of "treasure" in the 1960s and 1970s in south Florida. It also provides a window into the past and present about how the Pillar Dollar Wreck in Biscayne National Park has been, and continues to be, impacted by adventure seekers, treasure salvors and looters. This paper outlines recent archaeological excavations of the Pillar Dollar Wreck and reveals there is still much to be found and studied in the shifting...

Notification Is Not Consultation: Ethical Practices in Community and Indigenous Archaeology (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelsey Noack Myers. Alvin Windy Boy. Sr..

In the quarter of a century since the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was enacted, attempts to involve descendant Native communities in research on and interpretation of archaeological resources have been met with limited success. Blurred lines delineating ancestral lands and migration routes across modern state boundaries, historical political alliances, and dynamic cultural identities often cause confusion and a defeatist attitude in approaching and working with...

Notions of Comfort in the Early Colonial Chesapeake (2005)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Philip Levy. John Coombs. David Muraca.

In previous papers we have sought to use archaeological data to rethink some of the reigning assumptions about life in colonial Chesapeake, and move toward a new vision of an early colonial Virginia “frontier.” Our work has focused principally on a few sites in the Virginia tidewater and along the upper reaches of the Rappahannock spanning the years between 1640 and 1760. Last year, for example, we used the artifactual and architectural data from a circa 1690 Rappahannock plantation to argue...

"A Novelist-Gardener": Masculinity and Illness in Progressive Era California (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kim Christensen.

Warren Cheney (1858-1921) of Berkeley, California lived during the period in which ideals of Victorian manliness shifted to those of a more brutish masculinity. Suffering from ill health and neurasthenia for most of his life, he pursued an "outdoor life" while also participating in the Bay Area literary arts scene, embodying the tensions and contradictions of shifting gendered behavior ideals. Historical documents and archaeological excavations undertaken at the Cheney family home enable us to...

Now You See It, Now You Don’t (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Anne Giesecke.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mortuary Monuments and Archaeology: Current Research" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The recoding and digitizing of cemetery data is necessary for preservation of the information and a challenge. In 1976, we collected data on three 18th century graveyards in New Hampshire and we have the original files. In 2015, we returned to rerecord these cemeteries. The cemeteries are Gumpus Hill in Pelham; Thornton...
