Between A.D. 1670 and 1740, traders, settlers, and displaced Native American peoples migrated to the Savannah River in hopes of establishing trade and diplomatic relations with the colony of Carolina. Savannah Town, located near the Fall Line in the middle part of the drainage, consisted of approximately nine scattered villages inhabited at various times by groups of Savannah or Shawnee, Apalachee, Yuchi, and later Chickasaw Native Americans. Furthermore, Savannah town formed an important...

After the violent collapse of Spain’s La Florida mission system in 1704, the Apalachee nation was disrupted by a diaspora that spread people across the Southeast, eventually to settle in small communities among other splintered nations. Navigating a complex cultural borderland created by constant Native American migrations and European power struggles, the displaced Apalachee experienced rapid culture change in the 18th century. Making use of ceramic data from four archaeological sites related...

Historical archaeology provides many insights about unexpected aspects of daily life. One example is the hygiene and beauty practices of the men at World War II Kooskia Internment camp located near Kooskia, Idaho. Excavations in 2010 and 2013 resulted in the recovery of a variety of objects documenting men’s grooming in the camp, including items such as cold cream jars, a cologne bottle, and shampoo bottles. This work explores how these everyday objects provide new insight into the hygiene...

Lard buckets are a ubiquitous artifact on 20th century sites in the west.  However they generally provide little information to help date a site.  The author has observed certain differences in the construction of lard buckets.  Specifically the method by which the bale handle is attached to the body of the can by the addition of a bale ear on or near the upper edge of the body of the can.  Field observations at datable sites noted what appeared to be an evolution in the way the bale ear is...

On July 18th, 1995, after centuries of relative quiet, Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano suddenly and violently sprang to life. The months that followed saw a series of evacuations of the southern portions of the island due to the volcanic threat, rendering this landscape—including the capital town of Plymouth—an abandoned 'Exclusion Zone'. By 2000, the majority of the island's population had left more or less permanently, many for the United Kingdom. Those who stayed faced the challenge of...

The archaeology of children has been an increasingly visible part of historical scholarship in recent years. However, there are places where they are still not visible. Work by the University of Idaho on the former grounds of Fort Boise (in Boise, ID) has provided an opportunity to explore the archaeology of children in a most unexpected place - a military fort. Excavations in multiple contexts on the former grounds of the fort have resulted in the recovery of many children's items dating from...

In 2016, archaeologists with Fort Walla Walla Museum and the Spokane Tribe of Indians identified an intact spoil pile related to a ca.1890s-1907 blacksmith shop; operated by one of Spokane's pioneer smithys. During archival research it was found that this blacksmith, German immigrant Perter Sondgerath, rarely lived at his shop but rather in some of Spokane's most popular and pricey hotels thereby offiering a glimpse of early 20th century life in Urban Spokane. In this poster we follow the places...

This is an abstract from the "*SE The State of Theory in Southeastern Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Framed within Eurocentric materialism, economic theory of the deep past has largely formed a world of ‘natural resources’ ready for extraction, exploitation, and management. Conversely, Indigenous-based economies of North America-Turtle Island widely see an animate universe in which all creations have agency and tradition all their...

In 1858, a transplanted Vermonter, Elijah Fletcher, died in Amherst, Virginia, leaving his antebellum plantation and over 140 enslaved individuals to three of his children. His oldest daughter, Indiana Fletcher Williams, combined this inheritance with some of her own wealth and founded Sweet Briar College in 1900 through a directive in her will. In 2001, I began researching the descendants of the enslaved community, studying an on-campus slave cemetery, and designing brochures and exhibits to...

This is an abstract from the "The Public and Our Communities: How to Present Engaging Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In Summer 2018, Clemson University began excavations at Fort Hill Plantation, the former home of statesman John C. Calhoun and university namesake Thomas Clemson, situated in the heart of the university campus. The expressed purposes of this excavation were to train students in field archaeology while locating the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Reckoning with Violence" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. To be an African American soldier during the First World War was to be a walking contradiction. Jim Crow laws and white supremacist terrorism tormented black families on the homefront while black men, one generation removed from legal slavery, fought and died for the American cause on the battlefields of France. The African American community prayed...

In his 1849 autobiography, Josiah Henson, a former slave, preacher, and conductor on the Underground Railroad, recounted a single, brutal event that occurred at La Grange, the plantation on which he was born. Henson’s account related little about everyday life for the enslaved families at La Grange. In 2016, archaeologists from St. Mary’s College of Maryland undertook a Phase I survey at La Grange. A quarter complex and several individual quarters were discovered during the survey. These...

From an archaeological standpoint, the project area encompasses an extremely complex series of sub-surface environments and developmental contexts, within which an astonishing quantity and variety of cultural deposits and features continue to...

In March of 1608, Captain Pedro Díaz Carlos and crew were returning to Spain from a round trip South American voyage. His small vessel was loaded with sugar and other goods when it was shipwrecked at the southernmost tip of Portugal while crewmembers attempted to unload contraband. Possibly a patacho or small caravela, Carlos’s ship represents a light class of vessels used for both trans-Atlantic voyaging and coastal work for which we have scant archaeological evidence. In addition to...

Beginning 7,000 years ago, humans have engaged Lake Superior’s Southern Shore in different ways. Entrepreneurs, voyagers, immigrants, and society’s periphery have relished, and shattered, in Superior’s raw, unforgiving climate. The region has been a hotbed for cyclical social and economic change as different ethnic and demographic groups clashed in the ice and snow. This paper presents a unique piece of Lake Superior’s landscape, the Keweenaw Peninsula, as an "island of industry in a sea of...
