Worthy of a Thousand Words?: A Comparison of Images of Slavery in the US and Great Britain (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Genevieve Goerling.

In a previous paper I posited that imagery could be used as a resource for the archaeological study of slavery in Great Britain, since the smaller population of African slaves made it difficult to separate evidence of slavery from servitude. This paper will test the theories developed in the previous paper by comparing images from Great Britain with analogous samples from the US. Using traditional historical archaeological methods to study the people and places from which the US images were...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marco Meniketti.

For over two centuries galleons carried treasure and commodities between Asia and Mexico, crossing the Pacific along established routes that took advantage of currents and winds. The voyage was difficult and the hardships endured were extreme. At least four are known to have been lost along the Pacific coast between Washington and Baja California, although none have been recovered archaeologically. In California, just north of the San Francisco Bay, the galleon San Agustin was wrecked at Pt....

The Wreck of the Quedagh Merchant: Identification and Affiliation of Captain Kidd’s Lost Ship (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Frederick H Hanselmann. Charles D Beeker.

The shipwreck of the Quedagh Merchant is an archaeological site that brings to life one of the most romanticized activities in modern popular culture: piracy. Little specific evidence of pirates and their actions exists in the archaeological record and, oftentimes, it is difficult to distinguish the identification and function of certain artifacts and features from being piratical or simply commonplace. In fact, finding a site and making the connection to piracy can often be a difficult...

The Wreck of the Slave Ship Peter Mowell: History, Archaeology, & Genealogy (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Corey Malcom. Michael Pateman.

In 1860, the New Orleans-based slaving schooner Peter Mowell wrecked along the shore of Lynyard Cay in The Bahamas, while attempting to carry 400 captive African people to Cuba. Bahamian wreckers rescued the survivors and took them to Nassau: the crew was jailed and released, and the Africans were made indentured servants. After completing their indentures, the shipwrecked Africans blended into Bahamian society but maintained distinctive traditions from their homelands. In 2012, a Bahamian/US...

Writing the Archaeology of America's Modern Cities (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nan Rothschild. Diana Wall.

Over the last few decades, archaeologists have contributed a great deal to our understanding of contemporary American cities. We have just finished writing a book about the work these colleagues have done, based on material they have provided from all over the country, mostly from the grey literature. Their archaeological investigations are informative at two scales of analysis. Some studies, on the macro scale, have encompassed the whole city, and reveal patterns of urban development, ...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexis K Ohman.

Potato Hill is located on the western side of Montserrat, which is a small volcanic island in the West Indies.

Of these, the 19th-century structure Feature 16 became of particular interest due to the artifacts related to writing (slate, pencils), sewing (thimbles, buttons, and...
