Louisiana (State / Territory) (Geographic Keyword)
4,226-4,250 (7,655 Records)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Considering Frontiers Beyond the Romantic: Spaces of Encroachment, Innovation, and Far Reaching Entanglements" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In this paper I argue that the concepts of nostalgia, remembering, forgetting, and collective cultural memory are strategically employed in official historical discourse to perpetuate certain social projects. These practices are carefully cultivated in the state of...
The Intersection Of Femininity And Masculinity Symbolically Materialized By Team Games For Boys In Historic Playgrounds (2016)
Early-twentieth-century American reformers aimed to teach boys a feminized form of masculinity that was symbolized and materialized in supervised team games on playground ballfield landscapes. Organized play expressed new conceptions of childhood in a sequence of stages. Reformers organized team games to modify capitalist masculinity with what were considered feminine moral values of cooperation, fairness, and individual self-sacrifice for the greater good. Women became identified with these and...
An Intersectional Analysis of Personal Adornment at the African Meeting House in Boston (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "An Archaeology Of Freedom: Exploring 19th-Century Black Communities And Households In New England." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Built in 1806, the African Meeting House in Boston was a prominent social institution for the free Black community residing on Beacon Hill. Beyond functioning as a church, the African Meeting House was used as a school, housing for community members, as well as a meeting space...
An Intersectional Archaeology of Women's Reproductive Rights (2017)
Black feminist activists working in reproductive rights have long pointed out that access to abortion must be part of a larger project that also addresses poverty, racism, and other vectors of oppression that impact on women's ability to exercise free choice over their reproduction. Family planning decisions sit at the intersection of these power structures. This is illustrated at an early 20th-century tenement in Easton, Maryland, where gender ideals, racial segregation, slumlord renting,...
Intersectional Feminist Theory And Materializations Of Multiple, Fluid, Interacting Gender Identities, Exemplified By Immigrant Participants' Negotiations In Reform Women’s Programs Around The Turn Of The 20th Century (2018)
Feminists have theorized intersectionality in two related ways: in1970 Pauli Murray discussed the "multiple barriers of poverty, race and sex," and in 1989 Kimberlé Crenshaw named interlinked racism and sexism intersectionality, which she recently expanded to include classism, heterosexism, homophobia, ableism, etc. Another kind of intersectionality feminists have theorized are the relationships between gender, class, race, ethnicity, religion, age, etc. in people’s identities, which are the...
Intersectional Violence and Documentary Archaeology in Rosewood, Florida (2013)
The former town of Rosewood was settled in the mid-1800s and by 1900 was a successful, majority African American community. On January 1st, 1923 a white woman in the neighboring community of Sumner fabricated a black assailant to hide her extramarital affair. In less than seven days, the entire community of Rosewood was burned to the ground and its black residents fled to other parts of Florida and the country. This paper discusses a new theoretical perspective on the relationship between...
Intersectionality and Labor Solidarity at Blair Mountain (2015)
Solidarity around labor issues is often seen as a construction of class interest and consciousness. I will examine an alternative view of the formation of solidarity through the theory of intersectionality. Using the case study of the Battle of Blair Mountain, I will explore how a potent form of solidarity was formed through a convergence of racial, class, ethnic, and regional interests. This is in contrast to a traditional view of class solidarity superseding or erasing these different...
Intersectionality and Plantation Archaeology: Intertwining the Past, Present and Future (2018)
Intersectionality is a useful framework to employ when reconstructing the everyday lives of enslaved individuals during the Antebellum. Often, archaeologists find it difficult to create narratives that connect the material culture of the individuals we excavate with their dynamic experiences, especially impacts of sexual and economic exploitation, human rights and the rule of law. This paper focuses on the overlapping of multiple identities (in this case enslaved and free women and men on the...
Intersectionality, Strategic Essentialism, Third Spaces, and Charmed Circles: Using Dead Ladies’ Garbage to Explain Today’s America (2017)
Audre Lorde wrote, "There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives." And yet, certain identities and struggles are forefronted every day. In 1903, middle-class women founded Wiawaka Holiday House in New York’s Adirondacks for "working girls" to have an affordable vacation away from unhealthy factories and cities. Using strategic essentialism and Third Space, a 1920s assemblage from Wiawaka demonstrates the deeply dependent relationships among race,...
Intersections of Confinement: Space and Place at the Poston Japanese American Internment Camp, Arizona (2016)
Japanese American internment intersected with Native American sovereign space at the Poston internment camp in Arizona during WWII. This intersection was not coincidental, nor was it unnoticed by those most directly affected by it, namely internees and members of the Colorado River Indian Tribes. Internees and local residents processed their own and each other's confinements and engaged with each other in various ways during and after the war, a process which continues today at the Poston...
Intersections: Using AR/VR Technology to Expand Archaeological Public Outreach and Increase Engagement (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This project focuses on using augmented and virtual reality to expand public interaction and outreach through a mix of digital technologies (smart phones and the Hololens) and analog outreach (postcards and journals). AECOM has engaged in extensive public outreach for the I-95 Girard Avenue Interchange Improvement Project through a variety of avenues. Two of the most distributed of...

Intertwined Landscapes of Memorialization at Booker T. Washington National Monument (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Northeast Region National Park Service Archeological Landscapes and the Stories They Tell" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The site of Booker T. Washington’s birth and enslavement in Hardy County, Virginia has been honored since 1945 when the farm was purchased to serve both as a memorial and as a school. Eventually incorporated into the National Park system in the 1950s, this site has been the focal point...
Intervening Impersistence on the St. Johns River, Florida (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Rethinking Persistent Places: Relationships, Atmospheres, and Affects" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The shell mounds of the St. Johns River basin in northeast Florida are among some of the longest-lived places in North America. The repeated occupation over 9,000 years in duration attests to the attention paid to these places through depositions and encounters. Depositional histories reveal how places grounded...
Intimate Landscapes: Scale and Space in Household Archaeology (2013)
The term intimate landscape is used by photographers to refer to images that capture small portions of broad scenic landscapes while illustrating their interconnectedness. I argue that the intimate landscape concept offers historical archaeologists a useful approach for interpreting discrete landscapes in and around dwelling sites. These household landscapes are dynamic spaces connected to diverse discourses at the individual, local, regional, and global scales. Drawing on examples from slave...

Intramural activities of a deerskin trading factory in colonial South Carolina (2013)
Fort Congaree, a government controlled trading factory and military outpost, was established to facilitate exchanges of indigenous produced deerskins for trade goods. Renewed archaeological excavations and historical research are opening new approaches to interpreting daily life at the site. Focusing primarily on material culture disposal patterns, this paper will identify activity areas within Fort Congaree and situate the occupation within colonial articulations of labor and exchange.
Introducing the DAACS Research Consortium (2015)
The DAACS Research Consortium is a novel and ambitious experiment in the use of web technologies to increase the quality and comparability of archaeological data, to promote collaboration and data sharing among diverse archaeologists, to encourage and comparative analysis and synthesis, and ultimately to advance our understanding of early modern slave societies using archaeological data. In this paper we sketch the specific strategies that DRC collaborators are developing to achieve these goals...

Introduction to a local ceramic culture: the tableware used in colonial Guadeloupe, French West Indies (2013)
In colonial Guadeloupe, tableware was essential to the local ceramic culture. Tableware and beverage services tend to numerically dominate eighteenth-century ceramic assemblages and can shed a unique light on French colonial Creole culture. Although local potteries existed, Guadeloupeans imported the bulk of these vessels from France, and used many of the same faiences as French families. Yet when these French imports did not fit the bill, they also resorted to other strategies to procure the...

An Introduction to the Atlatl (1994)
J. Whittaker: [OK intro, but too many errors]. He has an interesting concept of different kinds of atlatl systems: “throwing board” = rigid, heavy harpoons; “spear thrower” = some flex, long heavy spears [but atlatls don’t go back to Neanderthal times]; “flexible system” = SW, flexy light atlatls and darts with weights and other tuning; “casting stick” = baton de commandment and other thong-using throwers and very flexy atlatls [not the same]. [His explanations borrow too much from Perkins’...
