New Hampshire (State / Territory) (Geographic Keyword)
4,751-4,775 (5,577 Records)
An archaeological and historical study of upper- and middle-class households in Mobile, Alabama provided an opportunity to examine how certain forms of material culture and the built environment served to demarcate social, racial, and economic differences in this city and how these compared with other cities. The block under consideration and its neighborhood were generally homogenous, with residents being the families of professionals. Notably, most of the properties were rentals; land use,...

Split Lips and Broken Bottoms: Analysis of Glass Fragments from an Urban Context (2018)
This paper examines the results of the chronological analysis of glass tops and bases from several sites along Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri. Bottle fragments from both intact and disturbed contexts are used to help provide chronological context to these urban site locations. Further comparison with diagnostic materials from the undisturbed levels, along with possible functional categories of the bottle fragments, will also be discussed relative to possible site functions.
"Spoiled Submerged Sites" or "Just Another C-Filter"? Accounting for Recent Human Impact in the Archaeological Analysis of BISC-2 (2013)
BISC-2 represents a type of site that is all too familiar to maritime archaeologists: one subject to extensive recent post-deposition disturbance as a result of different forms of destructive human intervention. Too often such sites are dismissed as too "spoiled" to provide reliable insight into the past. We suggest that while regrettable, such recent interventions should not lead us to dismiss such sites as archaeologically irrelevant. Instead they should be addressed through archaeological...
The Sporting Life: Archaeological Evidence of Pensacola’s Red Light District Customers (2015)
Archaeological studies have been conducted upon red light districts across the United States. While these studies have yielded great insight into the lives of prostitutes, relatively little has been recovered from their customers. Three collections from excavations conducted in 1975 and 2000 upon Pensacola, Florida’s red light district have also been studied, with a surprising number of artifacts associated with customers identified. This paper will provide an in-depth analysis of red light...
The Spread of Cholera Throughout North America in 1832 via Inland Waterways (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Shipwrecks and the Public: Getting People Engaged with their Maritime History" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Steamboats and other watercraft were largely responsible for the rapid spread of cholera throughout North America in 1832 via inland waterways. The recent archaeological excavation of Phoenix II in Lake Champlain led to the rediscovery of the steamer’s role in this tragic historic event, and prompted further...
A Square Peg in a Round Hole: Wood Analysis from the Spring Break Wreck (2019)

This paper discusses results of wood analysis performed on samples taken from the Spring Break Wreck, a site comprised of articulated 19th century vessel remains located on Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Analysis included taxonomic assignments of individual hull components, along with...
The Squire Homestead: A Look into Early American Settlement and Trade in the Greater St. Louis Area (2019)
This is an abstract from the "From Iliniwek to Ste Genevieve: Early Commerce along the Mississippi" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Squire Homestead site (11Ms2244), located in the Six Mile Prairie area of Madison County, Illinois, is the home of an influential, early American family. The home also appeared to function as a local trading post and fort, providing goods and protection during raids. This site provides a rare look at life...
The SS James Eagan Layne; The Liberty 70 Project, a Catalyst for Conversation in Submerged Cultural Heritage (2015)
The wreck of the SS James Eagan Layne (JEL) has been a diving site since 1954, due to her masts still visible above the water. She is known to be the most dived wreck in the UK and was subject to early salvaging from divers who thought it fair game. Which is a frame of thinking in British diving culture then and today. Plymouth, the location of the JEL is the birthplace of South West diving at Fort Bovisand, and as such the SHIPS Project, a non-governmental organization started the Liberty 70...
THE ST. DAVID’S ISLAND PROJECT: ETHNOGENESIS IN REAL TIME (2015)
Conversations about history have a way of shaping historical narrative, often unintentionally and usually in unexpected ways. Similarly, identity is an ongoing enterprise where individuals adapt, adopt, discard, and change in relation to the vagaries of a remembered past and to realities in the present. This paper focuses on Bermuda’s St. David’s Islanders, and examines how this geographically isolated and culturally distinct community (re)created an American Indian identity more than three...

St. Patrick’s Day and Sugar Plantations: Articulating Landscape Archaeology with Conceptions of Montserrat’s Historical Narratives and Cultural Geography (2013)
Montserrat’s nickname, "the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean", points to the island’s 17th-century Irish connection, sustained today by the annual national commemoration of a failed St. Patrick’s Day uprising by African slaves in 1768. Rooted in this event, the Anglo-Irish narrative is foregrounded in many historical studies of Montserrat’s plantations, slavery, geography, and heritage. Despite the power of this narrative in shaping Montserratian cultural identity, the archaeological record offers...
St. Thomas / St. Anne Parish Heritage Trail: Collaboration and Partnerships In the Caribbean (2016)
In July 2013, community members in Sandy Point village on St. Kitts in the Caribbean’s Lesser Antilles, began collaborating with Brimstone Hill World Heritage Site to build a Heritage Trail along a 7.5-mile coastal route. An assessment of the project’s progress two years later reveals critical challenges and innovative solutions- between Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, a non-profit company and individual community stakeholders of that island.
Stable Isotopes and Historic Period Diets at the Spanish Mission of San Juan Capistrano, Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas (2015)
San Juan Capistrano was one of several missions established in Texas in the early 1700s. Stable isotopic data from burials at this Mission suggests that mission populations consumed a C4/CAM diet with enriched nitrogen. While some of these isotopic results are consistent with historic accounts of Mission diet, the dependence on C4 based animals with high nitrogen values led to suggestions that isotopic values reflected a pre-mission signature, possibly from the Texas Coast (Cargill 1996). We...
Stable Isotopic Analysis of Chinese Domestic Animal Bones from the Central Pacific Railroad Community of Terrace, Box Elder County, Utah (2020)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Analysis of stable isotopes in bone collagen has been widely used to determine diet in humans and other vertebrates. The methods are well established in theory and practice. This exploratory project is focused on pig and cattle bones collected from Chinese and European American surface contexts at Terrace (42BO547) to obtain δ13C and δ15N isotopic signatures. Comparison with isotopic...
The Stadt Huys Block Site Collection, Past, Present and Future (2016)
The Stadt Huys Block Site in lower Manhattan was the first large-scale excavation in New York City (1979-80), serving as a test case to mandate subsequent excavations in the city. We found intact deposits from the 17th through 19th centuries. The collection was first housed at Columbia University’s Strong Museum and is now at the NYC Archaeological Repository. Artifacts from the collection have been used in domestic and international exhibits, and in several research projects. Some have analyzed...

Staging Tourism: Leisure and Consumption in Florida's Early Twentieth-Century Resorts (2018)
This project investigates the ways in which tourism destinations, namely resorts and hotels, structure the leisure experiences of their guests. Through an exploration of aspects of consumer patterns within tourism contexts, I integrate documentary and archival materials with archaeological data recovered from dense trash deposits excavated from two early-twentieth century resorts in Florida: the Fort George Club at Kingsley Plantation and the Oakland Hotel in west Orange County. The findings...
The Stagville Plantation Stores: Shopping in the Shadow of the Big House (2016)
The Bennehan-Cameron family fortune started with a single store in the 18th-century North Carolina Piedmont. Over several generations, their wealth expanded to include the ownership of up to 900 individuals, scattered across many farms in several states. This paper examines the intersection between these two spheres: an emergent consumer society and the institution of slavery. People owned by the Bennehans, Camerons, and their neighbors are among the purchasers enumerated in daybooks and...
Stagville within, beyond, and through the Digital Archaeological Archive for Comparative Slavery: Comparison -> Transition / Juxtaposition (2015)
The "Slave Cabin" at Stagville, excavated in 1979, was a component of the home farm quarter on one of the largest plantations in North Carolina. The small structure has several qualities that prompted its inclusion in the Digital Archaeological Archive for Comparative Slavery. As the first site from the state in the database, it will allow researchers to isolate and identify patterns associated with local conditions, including topography, settlement history, and regional economy. Stagville as...

Standing Against the Tide: Preserving the Seminole History on Egmont Key (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Between 1857 and 1858 as the Seminole Tribe rebelled against the American policy of forced Indian Removal, hundreds of captive Seminole Tribal members were held by the US army in a prison camp on the Island of Egmont Key. Nearly all were non-combatants, women, children, and elders who were taken from their homes to be removed to Indian Territory out west. Egmont Key saw the last...
