Research Tools for Identifying and Analyzing British Transferware (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Leslie L. Bouterie.

At the home of President James Madison in Orange, Virginia, the rich archaeological deposits of transfer-printed ceramics provide valuable information about the presidential family, their many guests, and the enslaved community that lived and worked there. Due to the distinctive patterns, evolving styles, vessel forms, colors, and often limited production periods of the various makers, important historical clues can be gleaned from British transferware. In addition to referencing archival...

Researching an African American Founder With the Help of One of Historical Archaeology’s Founders (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patrice L Jeppson.

This Robert Schuyler-dedicated Symposium paper considers three of Schuyler’s contributions to the field—his reflections on historical archaeology’s potential for the study of American national identity as a cultural and evolving process (1971, 1976), his call for an awareness of the importance of cultural context in archaeology research (1973), and his writing about the importance of conducting historical ethnography (1988). These foundational ideas shaping historical archaeology practice are...

Reservation Archaeology: Past, Current, and Future Themes (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kacy Hollenback. Wendi Field Murray. Jay Sturdevant.

The Reservation Era (AD 1778 to present) is a time of culture change and fight for cultural sovereignty. There are approximately 326 American Indian Reservations covering 56.2 million acres in the United States, numbers that fail to capture the realities of non-federally recognized groups, those with no land base, or indigenous peoples in Canada or Mexico. All of these communities experienced profound transformations in economies, cultural institutions, and socio-political structures during the...

Resistance, Resilience, and Blackfoot Horse Culture from the Reservation Period to the Present (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brandi Bethke.

Programs of forced settlement and assimilation were responsible for the loss of many aspects of traditional Blackfoot lifeways. At the same time, however, they also strengthened the identity of the Blackfoot people as they resisted absorption into Euroamerican culture. This resistance through adaptation is seen in the Blackfoot people’s continued use of and adoration for horses. While many elements of nomadic Blackfoot culture were abandoned in the late nineteenth century with the near...

Resolving Individual and Community Identities though Spirituality and Ritual: Some Insights from Burial Practices Observed at the First African Baptist Church Cemetery Sites, Philadelphia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John P McCarthy.

Several non-Western/non-Christian burial practices that made unusual use of ordinary material objects were seen at two cemeteries associated with the First African Baptist Church, Philadelphia. These practices appear to have been influenced by beliefs about the afterlife and the spirit world developed from African and possibly other sources, and I have argued previously that the maintenance and possible reintroduction of these practices into the city’s African-American community are indicative...

Resource Dependency Theory: A New Approach for Examining Trade Relationships (2021)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Yann.

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Trade and Exchange" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Eighteenth-century trade and exchange in the Midwest has been characterized by give and take relationships (such as Richard White’s middle ground) between Native American groups and Euro-American traders. Looking for new ways to think about the nature of these relationships, and borrowing from business and organizational studies, resource dependency...
