Although the term "plantation" is typically associated with agricultural enterprises, the Buffalo Forge industrial plantation in southwest Virginia evades simple classification. The antebellum iron forge complex anchored a diverse array of people and places, employing varying ratios of freed, enslaved, white, black, and male and female workers in its industrial, agricultural, and domestic operations. While extensive documentary analysis on Buffalo Forge's masters and slaves has been conducted by...

This is an abstract from the "Frontier and Settlement Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Frontiers are creative, chaotic places where cultures collide with geological and ecological forces of the physical environment; however, these dynamic spaces of interaction, meeting, and change, are often highly focused on one population – that of the dominant settler and colonizer. Particularly in the American West, frontier narratives follow dour...

The early eighteenth century saw many changes in the New World Spanish colonies. As Spain's new Bourbon monarch instituted many reforms in Iberia, trade regulations and colonial systems profoundly affected the colonists in the Americas. The seafaring community was a sort of bridge between these two worlds, and thus a place of cultural exchange. Items for trade, or those utilized by crewmembers and passengers, would have reflected various preferences in style, material, and form, that may...

The construction of a house can be as much an expression of localized identity as the items contained within. Whether individualized or based on a common layout, these foundations of the "home" play a role in materializing the larger narratives occuring within a society. One of these narratives revolves around the representation of economic "cores" verses "margins" through built space. An example of this dichotomy is the introduction of the Congested District Board standard for housing into the...

Vessels engaged in the Atlantic trade with West Africa contended with rough seas and dangerous shorelines that offered few natural harbors. To combat this, ships generally anchored offshore in deeper water and used small vessels for trade and communication with trading establishments on shore. While the underwater seascape was a determining factor in navigation, the surface landscape was both fashioned by, and played dramatic roles in, the development of trade and navigation.  The intersection...

During the American Civil War, USS Westfield served as the Union's flagship for operations along the Texas Gulf Coast. On January 1, 1863, Westfield was destroyed by her captain at the Battle of Galveston to avoid capture. In 2009, the disarticulated artifact debris field was recovered from the Texas City Channel in advance of a dredging project. After five years of extensive conservations efforts, these artifacts were reconstructed into a large exhibit at the Texas City Museum. This...

This is an abstract from the "Jesuit Missions, Plantations, and Industries" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Singular in purpose and variable in implementation, Jesuit missions in the Middle Atlantic region assumed a variety of forms, influenced by local needs and the degree of participation of local Catholic communities. Spatial data from identified mission sites of the mid-17th through 19th centuries document the degree of variability and...

This is an abstract from the "Birds in Archaeology: New Approaches to Understanding the Diverse Roles of Birds in the Past" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Wild turkeys (*Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were an important component in the diet of the middle Ohio Valley’s Fort Ancient farming cultures from AD 1000 to 1750. Wild turkeys often accounted for about 4% of the meat consumed by village residents. Our research into Fort Ancient wild turkey...

Due to President Thomas Jefferson’s call for seacoast defense, known as the "Second System," the capital city of Annapolis, Maryland saw the construction of two forts during the period of 1808 to 1810.  By the War of 1812, Annapolis had Fort Madison, a traditional star-shaped fortification and Fort Severn, a round gun battery to protect the Chesapeake Bay Severn River approach, Annapolis Roads, and the city.  This paper outlines the history of both forts, the research findings on the...

Spanish inroads into North America targeted the land that is now Florida, with sixteenth-century explorations and seventeenth-century missions. Between the major settlements of St. Marks/San Luis (today, Tallahassee) and Pensacola, the little-known Fort San José was an outpost and rest-stop along the northeastern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, briefly occupied in 1701 and from 1719-21. Newly available data and materials collections from this fort document its position as a way-station between the...

Located in Northwest Florida, Lake Jackson is a Fort Walton(Mississippian) period site with seven mounds, borrow pits, wall-trench architecture, and mortuary objects suggesting interregional interaction. This work examines geospatial relations between artifact distributions, known structural remains, and mound alignments in relation to the landscape. New excavation data from previously unexplored areas and digital presentations of associated artifact densities allows for new views of occupation...
