The Cultural Landscape at Mount Plantation, Barbados: preliminary findings and future directions (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jonathan Finch. Douglas Armstrong.

As part of a wider project in Barbados and the UK, archival research, fieldwalking, and remote sensing have been carried out at Mount Plantation, Barbados. It was selected on its potential for two related research directions.  First, to yield data related to the 17C transition to a sugar economy.  Second, a  study of created and transformed landscapes owned by the Lascelles family in Barbados and Yorkshire (UK).  The archaeological investigation of Mount has the potential to yield significant...


Culture, Class & Consumption: Ireland in the Early Modern Atlantic World (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Tracey.

Archaeological investigations throughout the northern Irish port town of Carrickfergus have generated a vast collection of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century material culture, reflecting the role of the town as an entrepôt of early-modern Atlantic goods.  Carrickfergus was a heterogeneous settlement, with a mixture of Gaelic Irish, Scots, and English identities amongst a network of merchants, sailors, soldiers, and tradesmen.  The material culture is illustrative of the changes in attitudes...


The 'Curse of the Caribbean'? The Effects of Agency on the Efficiency of Sugar Plantations in St Vincent and the Grenadines, 1801-30 (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Simon D Smith. Martin Forster.

This study estimates agency's impact on the efficiency of sugar plantations using a panel data set compiled from St Vincent and the Grenadines' crop accounts and slave registry returns. Previous work suggests that agency resulted from absenteeism and exerted a large, negative influence on estate efficiency. This contribution uses stochastic frontier models for panel data to estimate the impact of agency while controlling for crop mix, locational variables, and the size of the estate.   Analysis...

Day of Archaeology: Large-scale Collaborative Digital Archaeology (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Matt Law. Andrew Dufton. Stu Eve. Tom Goskar. Patrick Hadley. Jess Ogden. Daniel Pett. Lorna J Richardson.

Day of Archaeology (http://www.dayofarchaeology.com) is an annual event which offers a view of the working day of archaeologists worldwide, and answers the question "what do archaeologists do?" On the first event, on July 29th 2011, over 400 people working, studying or volunteering in archaeology contributed blog posts describing their day. The published text is not scripted by the organisers, and only minimally edited. The resulting website presents a behind-the-scenes view of archaeology that...

Dichotomies and Dualities: exploring the landscape impacts of the Great Depression through an archaeological lens (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kayt Armstrong.

This paper will present the early results from the landscape strand of a multidisciplinary research project examining the landscape impacts of the Great Depression (1929-39). The goal of this project is to archaeologically investigate the impacts of and responses to the Great Depression in  Northeast England, and to analyse these responses as interventions in the built environment, exploring their landscape impact. Early results indicate tensions between changes in wider culture (the coming of...

A Distant Diaspora: Comparative Perspectives on the Archaeology of Roman Slavery. (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jane Webster.

More than 100 million people were enslaved in the millennium during which the Roman Empire rose and was eclipsed, yet the lives of Roman slaves are still generally assumed to be archaeologically inaccessible. Classical archaeologists view slavery almost entirely through the lens of the Roman literary tradition, and through the work of ancient historians who have drawn on that tradition. This paper will suggest that whilst the material strategies of Roman slaves might be hard to isolate, they are...


Diversity in Adversity: French Immigrant Identity in Early Modern London (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Greig Parker.

French immigrant refugees were a large and recognisable segment of the population of Early Modern London. Contemporary accounts indicate that they possessed a distinct and recognisable language, style of dress, and religion. In addition, they were seen to have been employed in specific occupations and of having lived in particular areas. Yet, the excavated and documentary evidence for their ownership of domestic material culture shows, for the most part, few differences between French immigrants...


Divulging Protected Wrecks in the Solent. (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Garry Momber. Julie Satchell.

The Solent area has been witness to many hundreds of shipwrecks. The most significant of these are protected. Each wreck presents different challenges when managing and preserving the remains. Over the last two decades the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology has been working with licensees to record the wrecks and bring information to the public. The results have included the creation of displays, videos, publications and a web geoportal. Two wrecks that have been a particular...

The East India Company on the Bandon River 1608 to 1620 (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joe P Nunan.

The benefits that attracted the East India Company and its associates to the Bandon River area were the availability of land, cheap rents, and cheaper timber. Land and timber were valuable commodities. It was principally the growing English maritime and iron industries that took advantage of this resource. The Bandon River was one of the regions where the supply of timber was adequate to justify the introduction of the blast furnace and related works. Settlement and industry provided in varying...


Economies of Duration in Urban Archaeology (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only James R Dixon.

Looking to urban life in the recent past, present and future, conventional archaeological chronologies are of less relevance than in deeper history. Instead, we might replace ordered time with duration, time-as-experienced, in our analyses. However, if we want to look at the duration of individual events in the city, we run the risk of reducing our work to a point where it is essentially meaningless, considering single seconds in individual lives at the expense of a 'bigger picture'. This paper...


Education in Maritime Archaeology: Universities, Capacity Building, and the Internet (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Peter B. Campbell.

The field of maritime archaeology exists within a dynamic socio-political world that constantly changes due to actions of those outside the field, such as legislation, funding, and public opinion. Education must suit the needs of students who will work in current and future conditions; however, many field schools and degree programs operate using paradigms from previous conditions. Registrant responses on MaritimeArchaeology.com show concern on what is being taught, significant gaps between...


Egypt in Britain: material vocabularies of bereavement. (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Matilda H Duncker.

The presence of Egyptianizing designs in nineteenth century cemeteries can be attributed at least in part to the global reach of British politico-economic interest and the appropriation of ancient cultures that this facilitated. However, the presence of these forms within a heterogeneous monumental landscape that also included designs taken from an imagined national past and from Classical architecture encourages us to consider not only how Egyptianizing forms were encountered and developed by...


Emergent Value: Archaeology and Inventories in Later Medieval England (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ben Jervis.

Household inventories are an invaluable resource for identifying the range of objects which were present in the medieval home, but are not identified archaeologically. However, many items which are identified archaeologically are not regularly listed in these documents. Drawing on various relational approaches, it is my contention that rather than reflecting the inherent value of objects, inventories emerge as a set of relationships through which value was negotiated and maintained. I will...


Excavating an Excavator: Gerhard Bersu, his networks, and linking past and present (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kate Chapman. Harold Mytum.

Actor-Network approaches allow connections between people and people, and people and things, to be explored in new ways. This is illustrated through a historiographical case study. Gerhard Bersu avoided Nazi persecution by being invited to excavate in the UK, only to be then interned on the Isle of Man in 1940, where he continued to excavate. We explore his social and intellectual networks at that time, together with his relationships with archaeological deposits, field records, and artefacts....


Excavating The ‘Green Redcoat’:Historical Archaeology And New Approaches To The Irish Military Tradition And Experience In The British Army, 1815-1919 (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only S Gavin M Hughes.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the early 1980s, Peter Karsten referred to Irish soldiers in British military service as the ‘Green Redcoat’; a powerful phrase that has been used by many to identify this large group ever since. (Karsten, 1983-4: 34-6) In Irish and British military historiography, the concept of national identity has long...


'Excavating' The 1916 Rising: Archaeology And The Resistance Of Popular Narrative. (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Franc Myles.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This contributor co-directed a fieldwork project in 2016 which ended in a rather odd archaeological excavation to recover a rifle dropped from the roof of City Hall over the course of the Easter Rising. In the popular context of the centenary, the project blog (thearchaeologyof1916.wordpress.com) attracted a...
