What’s in a Button?: Sartorial Artifacts, Colonial Journeys, and the Archaeological Imagination (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Johanna A. Pacyga.

This is an abstract from the "One of a Kind: Approaching the Singular Artifact and the Archaeological Imagination" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological objects related to clothing wield an affective power derived from their inherent closeness to the historical body, to the life of a particular individual. Despite being quotidian and even mass-produced, such artifacts become singular by virtue of their role in practices of embodiment....

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melissa Cascella.

This paper will provide insights into the daily lives of the families that lived on Fort Walla Walla, one of the Pacific Northwest’s earliest communities, from its early use as a military base and into its transition to a veteran’s facility.

After the Fort closed in 1910, it was converted into a veteran’s...

(What’s) Left of the Commodity: Archaeology and the Creative Resuscitation of Spent Goods (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Justin E. Uehlein.

Hobo jungles and other transient laborer and homelessness related sites present a sustained material critique of Capitalism. These kinds of sites provide insight into the creative strategies people employ to circumvent commodity markets when capital is not available. Whether residual evidence of an intentional statement against an oppressive system, or of a means to persist in the most desperate of situations, the assemblages left behind by people who reside on the fringes of...

When All You Have are Artifacts: Reassessing Intrinsic Issues in Assigning Cultural Identity to Artifact Assemblages in Colonial South Carolina (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy C. Miller. Patrick H. Morgan. Aaron Brummitt. Quinn-Monique Ogden.

Just several years after the 1670 founding of Charles Towne, occupants of Barbados, England, and France seized opportunities for land and prosperity. By the 1680s, English settlers from Barbados began to settle the area along the Wando River, encroaching on land designated for the remaining indigenous population. Researchers and investigators examining archaeological sites do so with the aim to reconstruct the history about past landscapes. Inherently, archaeologists assign cultural identity to...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dave Ball. Jack Irion.

Driven by technological advances of the industrial revolution and the introduction of the steamboat in the Gulf of Mexico, the economy of the southern United States flourished.

By the mid-19th century steamships served as the primary vehicle to transport agricultural products from the Mississippi River Valley to markets along the east...

When Men Cannot Work; Camp Au Train a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Josef T Iwanicki.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Great Depression represents the collapse of the economic conditions of capitalism. This meant millions of Americans were out of jobs, a situation that had real ramifications for men whose social roles were defined by their work. This crisis of masculinity devastated all men, but Government attempts to deal with it varied by age. Programs for young men were geared toward keeping...

When the Conflict Ends: Building Reuse on the Wyoming Frontier (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dana Lee Pertermann.

Considering Conflict Event Theory as a paradigm for cuture change, we are then left to consider what happens to sites after the conflict ends, and what that change says about the nature of conflict and its temporal importance to the continuation of culture change. Several archaeological sites are examined within thisparadigm, including Ft Briger and Ft Fetterman. Parallels are also made between Wyoming sites and sites in Texas.

DOCUMENT Citation Only William J. Wilson.

Proposed improvements to Berth 1 at the Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding Yard in Sturgeon Bay will require removal of the remains of the self-unloading, wooden schooner barge Adriatic. Built by master shipbuilder James Davidson as a three-masted schooner-barge, the 202-foot long, wooden-hulled Adriatic was launched in 1889 and later converted into a self-unloading barge, one of the earliest examples of what would become an iconic vessel type on the Great Lakes. The vessel spent its final seventeen...

‘When the King breaks a town, he builds another’: Space, Politics, and Gerrymandered Identities in Precolonial Dahomey (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Monroe.

Scholars have long argued that sub-Saharan Africa in the era of the slave trade was dominated by ethnically distinct communities whose members underwent the process of creolization after being displaced to the New World. Archaeological research across West Africa, however, is challenging this notion, revealing how West African cultural identity transformed in response to intersecting economic, political, and cultural forces unleashed by trans-Atlantic commerce. This paper examines the political...

When the Light Goes Out: The Importance of Women’s Labor in the Household Economy (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Maria O'Donovan.

Archaeologists have contributed important insights into gender, particularly in relation to the impact of differences in class, race, and ethnicity. Studies have challenged the relevance of 19th century gender ideals for those outside the middle class and have explored the ways middle class women’s lives defied these ideals. The picture that has emerged is one that emphasizes the importance of women’s productive labor and the complexities of real lived experience. The story of one household...

When the Neighborhood Went to Hell: The Seminole Perspective of a U.S. Military Fort (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Shawn P Keyte.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In order to remove them from their lands, the U.S. Government waged a campaign of intimidation and force against Native Americans throughout the 19th Century that resulted in the placement of forts on native ancestral lands. One example, Fort Shackelford, was investigated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida THPO, not only for its archaeological content, but also to discover what it means to...
