You Can't Keep a Workin' Man Down: Black Masculinity, Labor, and the Frontier (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Annelise E. Morris.

Historical archaeologists have long examined changing structures of labor in the context of modern global capitalism. This paper will focus on rural sites in the Midwest, challenging normative notions of labor structures. I will examine how, in the face of changing labor economies, Black men on the frontier deployed specific types of skilled labor to create social networks, familial bonds, and to subvert economic inequalities. I will examine shifts from agrarian economies to wage economies,...

You Can’t Tell a Book by its Hardware: An Examination of Book Hardware Recovered from James Fort (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dan Gamble.

Book Hardware was utilized both to protect books and to keep them closed. Books typically do not survive in an archaeological context but the hardware does. This is the case at James Fort. After over twenty years of excavations, more than one hundred of these artifacts have been recovered. Book hardware consists of many materials, numerous designs, and varying sizes. But what can be gleaned from this hardware? First, where they were made can be determined using XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) and...

You Don’t Find Jack: Archaeological Investigations at Two Rural, Nineteenth Century Midwest School Houses (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John D. Richards.

The archaeology of rural one-room school houses is part of the larger archaeological enterprise of the study of institutions, but remains relatively undeveloped. In large part this is due to the often frustratingly incomplete archaeological and historical records associated with these resources. As a result, these sites rarely conform to the criteria needed to be potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It is thus often impossible to either preserve such...

You Don’t Have to Live Like a Refugee; Consumer Goods at the 19th Century Maya Refugee Site at Tikal, Guatemala (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Meierhoff.

In the mid-nineteenth century Maya refugees fleeing the violence of the Caste War of Yucatan (1857-1901) briefly reoccupied the ancient Maya ruins of Tikal. These Yucatec speaking refugees combined with Lacandon Maya, and later Ladinos from Lake Petén Itza to form a small, multi-ethnic village in the sparsely occupied Petén jungle of northern Guatemala. The following paper will discuss the recent archaeological investigation of the historic refugee village at Tikal, with a focus on the recent...

"You Have Harmed Us": Structural Violence and the Indian School experience among the Port Gamble S’Kllalam community. (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lindsay Montgomery.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Reckoning with Violence" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1855, the U.S. government signed the Treaty of Point No Point with the S'Klallam community. In exchange for fishing rights, the S’Klallam ceded 750,000 acres of land and accepted formal education. The Indian education system has enacted both symbolic and structural forms of violence among the S’kllalam, violence that has contributed to the...

You Missed a Spot: How Proper Conservation Revealed Much about an Obscure Aspect of Nineteenth Century Naval Technology (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Miguel Gutierrez.

The Texas A&M Conservation Research Laboratory is currently in charge of the conservation of artifacts from the CSS Georgia, a massive Confederate ironclad vessel purposely scuttled in 1864. Among the artifacts being treated are brass gun sights used to enhance the accuracy of naval cannon. However, literature on these specific sights is simply nonexistent. Yet, great research is not always the consultation of numerous scholarly articles or thick, heavy tomes. Sometimes, great research is just a...

You Say You Want A Revolution? Diverging Consequences Of The French Revolution On French Caribbean Slave Societies. (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kenneth Kelly.

The late 18th century was a period of tremendous social and political upheaval throughout the Atlantic World, as revolution wracked the British colonies of North America, leading to the establishment of the United States. The American Revolution in turn inspired the French Revolution, with far-reaching impacts throughout the Americas, including the abolition of slavery in some colonies, revolution in other colonies, and a degree of stasis in yet other French colonies. All of these outcomes had...

You Sleep Alone, Away from People: Understanding the Movement of Hobos and Other Transient Laborers (ca. 1880 – 1940) (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hali Thurber. Justin Uehlein.

Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, hobos and other transient workers crisscrossed the nation, taking temporary jobs wherever capital demanded labor that exceeded local resources. Despite their contingent status as surplus laborers, hobos were cast as morally bankrupt deviants, insane, and sexually ambiguous men by media outlets across the nation. State laws and county and town ordinances were summarily passed barring hobos from entering towns, cities, and otherwise populous...

You Spin Me Right Round: Reading Southwest Indented Corrugated Pottery for Movement and Directionality (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Genevieve Woodhead.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Corrugated vessels are ubiquitous in the northern U.S. Southwest, and yet their research potential is often overlooked. This study examines corrugated pottery to determine how much uniformity or variability goes into the process of manufacturing these everyday, utilitarian objects. The sample comprises Ancestral Puebloan and Mogollon corrugated vessels from...

You Wanna Take This Outside?: Porches, Parkitecture, and the Creation of an American Identity (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erin Whitson. Hunter W Crosby.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Outdoor space in mid-to-late 19th-century America grew into a force that drove recreation and tourism across the United States. From porch spaces to parks, Americans began spending increasing amounts of time outside. Following common 19th-century themes, Americans used these spaces to boost a Nationalist agenda meant to express and reify class, gender, and racial divisions. These...
