"People in this town had a hard life. We had a hard life": Creating and Re-Creating ‘Patchtown’ History in the Anthracite Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only V. Camille Westmont.

The modern Northeastern Pennsylvanian landscape is dotted with coal "patchtowns" – villages and towns where coal miners, textile mill operatives, and their families lived and adapted coping mechanisms to survive Northeastern Pennsylvania’s gilded age of industry. Today, the majority of these industries and, by extension, jobs, have relocated or disappeared altogether, while the patchtowns and their residents have remained. Public archaeology has opened the door to exploring how patchtown...

Perception and Conceptions: Historical Archaeology in the East Midlands and East Africa in the 1950's (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Merrick Posnansky.

This paper reviews the birth of Historical Archaeology in the 1950's at a time when archaeology as a university and research discipline was in its infancy. Archaeology  was then largely conceived as embracing prehistoric, Classical and the archaeology of great civilizations. Though historical archaeology was undertaken in a limited form it was shunned professionally as it was felt that the archaeological method was less relevant than an historical or antiquarian material approach. This papers...

Peripheral Middling Plantations: The Late Antebellum Period at James Madison's Montpelier (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott N. Oliver. Aryel Rigano. Marah Brenneman.

The Arlington, Dr. Madison, and Bloomfield plantations were constructed in the early 19th century, surrounding James Madison's Montpelier in Orange County, Virginia. While these plantations are peripheral to the Madison property history, comparing these middling plantations is important to a holistic understanding of the late antebellum landscape in Virginia. Arlington House acts as an essential resource to the public archaeology initiatives of the institution by providing housing for the public...

Persistence in the Face of Change: 17th Century Rappahannock Households at Camden Farm (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Josue Nieves.

Contemporary understandings of 17th century Algonquian Rappahannock history are inextricably linked to regional historical narratives emphasizing chiefdom development and Anglo-Native Virginian colonial encounters. The Powhatan Chiefdom, one of the most influential  political organizations within the broader Coastal Plain, often serves as the primary research focus for  investigations of these topics due to its perceived role as the dominant force defining regional social organization strategies...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Liza Vance. Sharyn Jones. William Landon.

This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The small port town of New Richmond, Ohio has a rich but neglected history ‒ it was once home to a pioneering family and their progressive academy. The Parker Academy, founded in 1839, was inspired by a vision that moved people beyond racial segregation and promoted unity during a time of extreme division. This school is perhaps one of the first integrated...


The Persistence of Resistance: Chinese Kongsi Partnerships in 18th Century Borneo and 19th Century North America (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Don Hann.

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 immigrant gold miners in North America are generally portrayed as unskilled laborers eking out a bare subsistence by scouring placer deposits previously worked and abandoned by white miners. Archaeological evidence and historic documentation suggest this is a gross oversimplification. For a...


Persistent Places in Landscapes of Dispersal: Archaeological and Ethnohistorical Investigations at Queen Esther’s Town Preserve, Athens, PA (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Amber Laubach. Katherine Seeber. Jesse Pagels. Siobhan Hart. Nina Versaggi.

We report on research at the Queen Esther’s Town Preserve, an Archaeological Conservancy property in Athens, Pennsylvania. Located at the confluence of the Chemung and Susquehanna Rivers, this land was home to a Delaware community led by Esther Montour during the American Revolution. The town was destroyed in September 1778 as part of the American campaign against British-allied Native villages and has since become a place anchor for the dominant narratives of Native disappearance common in the...


Persistent Places in the Prehistoric Wabanaki Homeland: Understanding the Role of Lithics in Interaction, Exchange, and Territoriality on the Maritime Peninsula (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kenneth Holyoke.

This paper will present a method for addressing questions of prehistoric Wabanaki territories and territoriality, human movement and exchange, and how persistent places in the prehistoric landscape of the Lower Saint John River (LSJR) shaped ancient Wabanaki ontology, and so too, the archaeological record. Persistent places like bedrock lithic sources may shape human movement; however, patterning in the distribution of stone tools may provide more than just settlement and exchange information....


Personal Adornment in the Context of Antebellum Slavery at Poplar Forest (1830-1858) (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lori Lee.

Objects classified as personal adornment are often vested with meanings that reveal significant insight into their owners because they are personal. The context in which objects are used is critical to understanding potential meanings. This essay considers the recontextualization of personal adornment items, particularly glass beads, a pierced coin, and an alloy fastener, used by enslaved laborers at antebellum Poplar Forest plantation. The enslaved mobilized these forms of material culture in...


Persons and Mortuary Practices in the Native Northeast (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only John L. Creese. Kathleen Bragdon.

The incorporation of the dead into the social practices of the living – as revealed by mortuary practices in the Native Northeast – is especially relevant to current archaeological theories of materiality, value, and consumption. This paper presents comparative data from southern New England Algonquian and northern Iroquoian societies to argue that mass burials (including ossuaries and cemeteries) typical of sixteenth and seventeenth century Northeastern aboriginal societies reflected new...


Perspectives on Underwater Cultural Heritage Management of Hispaniola (2015)

Petroglyphs on the Periphery: Rock Art in the Canadian Maritimes (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Bryn Tapper.

Ongoing investigation of the Algonquian rock art of the Canadian Maritimes reveals that while some sites, such as Kejimkujik Lake, are well documented as a result of longstanding conservation strategies, these and other petroglyph sites have yet to be adequately and comprehensively framed within their archaeological, ethnohistorical and ethnographic contexts. Combining a landscape archaeology approach with theoretical positions emerging from the ‘ontological turn’ in archaeology, my research...
