Where and How Does the Underground Railroad Fit in African American Archaeology? (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Cheryl LaRoche.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Bridging Connections and Communities: 19th-Century Black Settlement in North America" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Deepening understanding of connections among the Underground Railroad, black communities and the larger abolitionist movement has important implications for archaeology.

Where are the Dinosaurs? The Children’s Museum’s Role in Archaeological Education (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashley R. Hannum. Laura Ferries.

Public outreach and involvement is an increasingly important part of the field of archaeology. Yet for many people outside of the discipline, archaeology education comes solely from misleading television documentaries and fictional movies. The average visitor to The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is no exception to this, with many unaware of the difference between archaeology and paleontology, let alone the difference between archaeology and looting or treasure hunting. In fact, many of the...

Where did Gloucestertown go? Reconstructing the Disappearance of a Colonial Town (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Brown. Thane H. Harpole. Stephen Fonzo. Colleen Betti. Erin S. Schwartz.

Despite more than 40 years of historical and archaeological research on Gloucester Point, the placement of the colonial town grid on the modern landscape is still unclear. The piecemeal nature of projects resulted in untestable hypotheses based on individual buildings and modern landscape features, rather than stitching together archaeological data from projects from across this area. While the construction of a comprehensive GIS is underway, and discussed next, an alternative track was...

Due to the changing archaeological phases as part of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, necessitating a complete excavation of the site, a progression from small artifact recovery to mechanized recovery a plan was put in...

"Where France Meets North America": A View from Anse à Bertrand, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meghann Livingston. Catherine Losier.

Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, long viewed as a peripheral French settlement was in fact essential to colonial expansion throughout the Atlantic World. Indeed, the historic salt-cod fisheries constitute one of the oldest persistent landscapes to hold economic significance for European nations in the New World. Saint-Pierre et Miquelon represents a unique facet within this maritime landscape considering it was seasonally occupied at the beginning of the 17th century and that it would become the only...

"Where Ornament and Function are so Agreeably Combined" Redux: A New Look at Consumer Choice Studies Using English Ceramic Wares at Several 19th Century Fur Trade Sites Along the Columbia River (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert J Cromwell.

This paper takes a new look at my 2006 doctoral dissertation, where I analyzed over 20,000 British-manufactured ceramic ware sherds excavated from archaeological households at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Vancouver, Washington. These archaeological households are located both within the ca. 1829-1860Hudson’s Bay Company Fort Vancouver palisade site, as well as in the associated employee (Kanaka) Village site. This allows for synthesis of the data and to compare household dynamics from...

"Where Slavery Died Hard:" The Forgotten History of Ulster County, New York (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wendy E. Harris. Arnold Pickman.

Diana Wall has inspired our interest in archaeological and historical aspects of African-Americans and women in eighteenth and nineteenth-century America. Using various primary sources we have been exploring the experiences of enslaved men, women and children in Ulster County, New York, informed in part by accounts of the life of one of the most famous women in American history, Sojourner Truth, a renowned abolitionist, feminist and orator, who was born and raised a slave here in the 1790s....

"Whereon ye Ould Foart Stood…:" Geophysical and archaeological investigations at the site of Fort Casimir, New Castle, Delaware (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wade Catts. Peter Leach. Craig Lukezic.

Fort Casimir, also known as Fort Trefaldighet, was a seventeenth-century fortification situated along the Delaware River. The fort changed hands four times in its short career – built by the Dutch in 1651, captured by the Swedes in 1654, retaken by the Dutch in 1655, and finally seized by the English in 1664. Serving as a focal point of early colonial settlement in the Delaware River valley, its precise location remains both elusive and intriguing to Delaware archeologists. The first attempt to...

Which glass found on American sites was American made? Archaeological collections as resources for glass research (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian D Simmonds. Sarah Stroud Clarke. Brandy Culp. Suzanne Findlen Hood. Kelly Ladd-Kostro. Martha Zierden.

How should the curator of the Nathaniel Russell house in Charleston, South Carolina, decide what glass to acquire to better interpret the house for the public? Can she use Colonial Williamsburg as a guide or is Charleston, as usual, a special case? Elsewhere, glass scholars have long known that Henry William Stiegel of Manheim, Pennsylvania manufactured fine lead glass, selling it widely, including in Charleston. How can we broaden our understanding of his production and that of his...
