This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digging Deep: Close Engagement with the Material World" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. At Smith’s St. Leonard, the site of a Maryland tobacco plantation dating to the first half of the 18th century, a number of apotropaic objects have been discovered by archaeologists over the last two decades. Including bent silver coins, horseshoes, fossils and altered spoons and lead disks, these objects seem to embody...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“Historical Archaeology with Canon on the Side, Please”: In Honor of Mary C. Beaudry (1950-2020)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper traces Mary Beaudry’s legacy in two intertwined narratives: one that follows Mary’s time (1997-2005) as a commissioner of the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission (HSMCC) and one that examines the current research trajectory of the Historic St. Mary’s City Department of...

My own long-term interest has been to trace the process by which English cultural norms were adapted to New World conditions, to provide insight into why that adaptation occurred, and to assess the role of material culture in effecting that change. As such these are the kinds of questions that have been in the air at least since the 1970s, but which require a rich corpus of comparative and regionally representative evidence in order for archaeologists to have any hope of success in answering...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Opening the Vault: What Collections Can Say About Jamestown’s Global Trade Network", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The preservation of textiles and basketry is exceedingly rare in the archaeological record of the Indigenous Chesapeake. However, Historic Jamestowne’s collection offers an unusual window into Native textiles of the region, with multiple examples of weaving technologies and preserved forms....

In previous papers we have sought to use archaeological data to rethink some of the reigning assumptions about life in colonial Chesapeake, and move toward a new vision of an early colonial Virginia “frontier.” Our work has focused principally on a few sites in the Virginia tidewater and along the upper reaches of the Rappahannock spanning the years between 1640 and 1760. Last year, for example, we used the artifactual and architectural data from a circa 1690 Rappahannock plantation to argue...

A group of scholars interested in the daily lives and social and cultural relationships of the inhabitants of the Colonial Chesapeake developed the project A Comparative Archaeological Study of Colonial Chesapeake Culture, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Beginning in the fall of 2003 we began collecting information from 18 rural 17th to 18th century archaeological sites in Maryland and Virginia into digital form....

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Colonoware has been the subject of intense archaeological study since the type’s identification by Ivor Noel Hume at Colonial Williamsburg. The initial decades of analysis were dominated by debates centered on the cultural and ethnic origins of the ceramic’s production. A primary observation to emerge from this period, however, was...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archaeological Studies of Material Culture (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1644, a group of men met a Coan Hall, located in Northumberland County, Virginia, to plan what would come to be known as Ingles Rebellion, the Protestant-led overthrowing of the Catholic Maryland government. Three-hundred-and-seventy-five years later, a French-manufactured, copper-alloy “Jesuit” ring with an...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digging Deep: Close Engagement with the Material World" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. What does one do with artifacts recovered from disturbed proveniences? Or with artifacts recovered almost a hundred years ago and now sitting in museum collections? Are reasonable, responsible inferences possible? Space and form may help achieve what lost levels cannot: this paper considers the case of the mysterious...
