Spatial Analysis of the Free African Community of Kingstown, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John Chenoweth.

Forming a different kind of plantation community, a unique group of African people who were never enslaved existed in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) in the 1830s to 1850s. Captured for slavery in Africa after the British ended the slave trade in 1807, and after much loss and time, these people were given a plantation on Tortola where they lived—surrounded at first by enslaved people—in a settlement known as Kingstown. An 1831 map of their settlement exists, providing insight primarily into...

Spatial Context and Farm Types of Anne Arundel County Maryland, 1850-1880 (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kiley A. Gilbert.

Between 1850 and 1880, the First Election District of Anne Arundel County, Maryland hosted a variety of farm types and farm sizes. K-means cluster analysis of agricultural census data identified farm types over this forty-year period. The findings serve as a basis for understanding the archaeology of two farms on the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center campus and assessing the effects of late 19th-century land management strategies on local ecosystems.

The Spatial Violence of Colonialism (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn E Sampeck.

A variant of symbolic and structural violence can be termed "spatial violence". Colonial reordering of space, expressed as civilizing, moral order, created iniquities in power that physically prevented access to resources and segregated people into controllable spaces for achieving imperial schemes. This process treated land as one thing and its residents as something separate, objectified, commodified, and thus removable. Spatial violence in the case of many Native Americans was extreme, not...

Spatiality of the Everyday: 19th Century Slave Life in Western Tennessee (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Claire Norton. Kimberly Kasper. Corena Hasselle.

Throughout ten-years of excavation in western Tennessee, a more nuanced picture of 19th century everyday life in the antebellum South has emerged.
