Corkonians And Fardowners: Irish Activity And Identity In The Rural American South, 1850-1860 (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amanda B Johnson.

During the 1850s, the Blue Ridge Mountain Railroad Company recruited 2,000 Irish immigrants to work an area 20 miles west of Charlottesville, Virginia, carving out tunnels and cuts for an emerging rail line. The grueling and dangerous work transformed the physical landscape and turned a transient immigrant population into a vibrant semi-settled community. This paper explores the identities of the two groups of Irish laborers involved with the construction of the Blue Ridge Railroad Tunnel, the...

A intense metal detecting sampling suvery of selected areas of Pecos National Historical Park resulted in the finding of over 1350 metal targets....

Correcting History: 18th Century Elliot Plantation, African -Built Landscapes, Volunteers and Partners in the National Park Service (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Margo Schwadron.

The National Park Service plays a vital role in educating the public about stewardship and preservation of archeological resources, and vice versa. In 2008, a group of volunteers engaged the NPS to re-evaluate an historic site located in Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Working with volunteers, we determined that the site is actually Elliot Plantation—a previously undocumented, but the largest and southernmost 18th century British Period sugar plantation...

Correlations between Structural Sites and Topographic Features Dating from the Late Developmental to Early Coalition (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stanley Kerr. Christina Chavez. Toni Goar.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. During the Developmental period into the Early Coalition, agricultural settlements formed along drainages, such as the Tijeras Arroyo in Coyote Canyon, Arroyo del Coyote, the Rio Grande, the Lower Jemez River, and the Rio Puerco. This change in settlement patterns, along topographic features, near water sources was evidence for the exploitation of different...

Corrosion Monitoring and Preservation in Situ of Large Iron Artifacts at the Queen Anne’s Revenge Shipwreck site (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Watkins-Kenney.

At North Carolina state archaeological site 31CR314 (Queen Anne’s Revenge), the overall conservation management strategy is full excavation and recovery of all artifacts. Preservation and protection of artifacts in situ is, however, needed as long as they remain on site. Research on in situ monitoring and preservation of large iron artifacts (cannon and anchors) began in 2008. With funding provided by a Mini North Carolina Sea Grant further data was collected in 2012-2013 for eight cannon and...

Cosmic Context, Emancipated Persons, Germantown Parsonage (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christophe R. Lindner. Ethan P. Dickerman.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A 1767 slave-owning Calvinist minister’s cellar in Germantown NY holds a fireplace with punctate figures in its wooden frame: sailboat, smoking pipe, and BaKongo cosmogram. Beneath the adjacent hearthstones, amidst rubble fill, student excavators plotted clusters of symbolic objects: quartz crystals, blue glass beads, buttons, a shale pebble etched with two ‘X’ marks. The symbolically...

Cosmic Order and Change in Pre-columbian Eastern North America (2006)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Timothy Pauketat. Christopher Carr. Robert Hall. George Lankford.

The authors attempt to understand pan-continental cultural relationships as well as explain how cosmologies developed through time in the eastern Woodlands and Great Plains of North America. To do this, the authors deal with both the overall traditions of entire populations or time periods and specific, local expressions of these overall traditions.

Cosmology in the New World

PROJECT Santa Fe Institute.

This project consists of articles written by members of Santa Fe Institute’s cosmology research group. Overall, the goal of this group is to understand the larger relationships between cosmology and society through a theoretically open-ended, comparative examination of the ancient American Southwest, Southeast, and Mesoamerica.

Cosmopolitanism In South Carolina: Examining John Drayton’s Country Estate (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Corey Ames Heyward.

New research at Drayton Hall is shifting decades-old interpretation of how the house and land were used by John Drayton in the mid- to late- 18th century. The previous narrative was of an agricultural lifestyle on a southern plantation, but the material culture and historical evidence indicates that Drayton Hall was built and used as an English country estate to display wealth and position to those visiting the property. This paper analyzes the artifacts recovered from the South Flanker well to...

Cottage Clusters and Community Engagement: Collaborative Investigations of Multiscalar Social Relations in 19th Century Clachans, Co. Mayo, Ireland (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Deb Rotman.

Human experiences are inscribed in the landscape. Indeed, the built environment has been so strongly modified by human agency that the resulting landscape is a synthesis of natural and cultural elements. Cottage clusters, known as clachans, were critical components of the landscape in the west of Ireland prior to the Great Famine. Yet this site type has been almost completely ignored in historical, archaeological, and architectural studies of the region. As a Fulbright US Scholar, I am engaged...

Cottages for the Proletariat: Life and Labor on Blue Row in the Graniteville Textile Mill Village, 1845-1870 (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Keith Stephenson. George Wingard.

In 1845 industrialist William Gregg incorporated the Graniteville Manufacturing Company. Located in Edgefield District’s Horse Creek Valley, Gregg’s model community centered on a textile mill built of local blue granite.

All buildings were constructed from local pine in the Gothic Revival style....

Cotton as Commodity in the Prehispanic Southwest (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Laurie Webster.

With its strong symbolic reference to moisture and clouds, cotton has long been considered a precious textile fiber in the Americas. Adopted from Mexico as a tropical crop, it was well-established in the Salt-Gila drainage by 500 A.D., and by 1000-1100 A.D. it was adapted to the wetter microenvironments of the Colorado Plateau. Because cotton could not be grown everywhere, it became a prized element of trade and craft specialization. In this paper I examine the agricultural intensification,...

Cotton to the Doorstep: Gardening and Food Storage in the Early 20th-Century Southeast (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sunshine Thomas.

Early 20th-century southeastern farmers with the means to do so diversified and adopted the materials and methods of farm modernization. Poorer families grew cash crops almost exclusively, detrimental to their garden spaces and their wellbeing. Archaeologists have measured modernization, in part, through the presence of glass storageware. However, the act of storing gardened and gathered foods did not necessarily require modern materials or methods. Materials changed through time, but in many...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this paper we argue that Cottonwood Spring Pueblo was a multiethnic community similar to many other 14th century village clusters in greater Pueblo World. Cottonwood Spring Pueblo (LA 175) consists of multiple pueblos and features grouped into Areas A-F along Cottonwood Wash on the western flanks of the San Andres Mountains. Variation in...

Counter-Archaeology: Blending Critical Race Theory and Community-Based Participatory Research (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marc Lorenc.

Exploring connections between critical race theory (CRT) and community-based participatory research (CBPR), the methodology outlined in this paper examines how archaeology can be both transformative and empowering through its involvement in civic engagement, critical pedagogy, and social activism. The paper examines various ways in which CRT can broaden our conception of materiality, accountability, inclusion, and collaboration through an analysis of systemic inequality and its varied effects on...
