5,726-5,750 (6,914 Records)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Creative and artistic works provided an important outlet for the 120,000 Japanese Americans confined during World War II. Many of these works incorporate depictions of the natural world. I will investigate the ways in which these depictions were influenced by the natural environment surrounding the camp established at Heart Mountain, and what those influences can tell us about how...

“A Sense of Stewardship”: Assessing the Archives of Alexandria Archaeology (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Storeroom Taphonomies: Site Formation in the Archaeological Archive" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1961, the city of Alexandria, Virginia financed one of the first municipally funded archaeological projects in the country, laying the groundwork for today’s Alexandria Archaeology which curates three million artifacts from over 250 sites. Since the 1960s, the program has witnessed urban renewal, the birth of the CRM...
Sensory Perspectives on Maize and Identity Formation in Colonial New England (2018)
Food is not just a source of nutrition or the result of chemistry, but a complex sensory experience that can be linked to the creation, transformation, and maintenance of identity. My examination of the role of maize in the lives of colonial New Englanders is grounded in an understanding of 17th-century English culinary practice, close reading of printed and handwritten cookbooks and recipes, and recreation of maize-based foods using period recipes and cooking technology. A study of the sensory...
A Sequence of French Vernacular Architectural Design and Construction Methods in Colonial North America, 1690-1850 (2016)
This study examines published and unpublished historical archaeological research, historical documents research, and datable extant buildings to develop a temporal and geographical sequence of French colonial architectural designs and construction methods, particularly the poteaux-en-terre (posts-in-ground) and poteaux-sur-solle (posts-on-sill) elements in vernacular buildings, from the Western Great Lakes region to Louisiana, dating from 1690 to 1850. Whether European colonists during the...
The Serenity Farm African American Burial Ground (2016)
The Maryland State Highway Administration had an opportunity to delineate and research an unmarked African American burial ground in southern Maryland. Prior to exploring the site, archaeologists reached out to a local descendent community in Charles County who agreed to speak for their ancestors. Throughout the project, archaeologists and the African American community shared in the discovery of the people buried in unmarked graves on the Smith Farm between ca. 1790 and ca. 1810. Forensic and...

Serious Miracles: Semiotic Battlefields of the Spanish Reconquista in 17th Century New Mexico (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Memory, Archaeology, And The Social Experience Of Conflict and Battlefields" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Miraculous stories are as common to the battlefield as weapons and shields. Whether in the form of saintly interventions in combat, victory despite overwhelming odds, or religious iconography protecting the virtuous, warriors have reported miracles on the field of battle throughout time...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As archaeologists prepared for current excavations associated with the Church and Convento at Mission San Antonio de Valero (41BX6) in San Antonio, Texas, previous archaeological and archival research was revisited to piece together...
Setting Boundaries: Identifying the Homes of Enslaved Field Workers at James Madison's Montpelier (2015)
During the 2012-2013 field season, the Montpelier Archaeology Department excavated the remains of houses occupied by field workers on the Madison plantation . These structures were not built using sub-surface methods that would leave direct architectural evidence. In the absence of post- in- hole construction or foundations, the determination of building boundaries can be quite challenging for archaeologists. Drawing on the evidence from Montpelier and other examples lacking features directly...

Settling a Waste-land: Mapping Historic Can Scatters in the Western Mojave Desert (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "California: Post-1850s Consumption and Use Patterns in Negotiated Spaces" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the eyes of Anglo-American settlers, the Mojave served as a transportation corridor between habitable areas rather than a site of potential habitability itself. This paper uses GIS-based analysis of historic can scatters in the Mojave to investigate the relationship settlers held with the land they...
Seventeenth Century Battlefields in Colonial New England (2016)
The National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program has provided funding to research and document several battlefields associated with the Pequot War (1636-1637) and King Philip's War (1675-1676) in southern New England. These battlefield surveys have yielded hundreds of battle-related objects including weapons, projectiles, equipment, and personal items associated with the Colonial and Native American combatants. These battlefield surveys have also provided significant information...
The Seventeenth-Century Brewhouse at Ferryland, Newfoundland (2018)
Built between 1622 and 1623, the brewhouse structure at George Calvert’s Ferryland plantation stood for a about two decades, before being removed as part of David Kirke’s reorganization of the colony in the early 1640s. As beer and bread, which were also produced in the brewhouse, were staples of the English diet, this appeared to be an unusual choice. Analysis of the associated material culture and architectural remains provides insight into the organization of Calvert’s colony. It also...
Seventeenth-Century Clay Industries at ca. 1670 Charles Towne, Charleston, South Carolina (2024)
This is an abstract from the "The Elemental Analysis Facility at the Field Museum: Celebrating 20 Years Serving the Archaeological Community " session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The restoration of Charles II to the English throne created a flourishment of economic growth, philosophical change, and a new focus on scientific experimentation in the English empire. The Carolina colony was founded in 1670 with the intent to create an ordered and profitable...
Seventeenth-Century Shipboard Beer: An Experimental Archaeology Approach On Brewing Old Recipes Accurately (2017)
The basic concepts of brewing beer have remained unaltered for several centuries, but many other trends such as the ingredients and methods to brewing that affect beer’s alcohol content, nutritional value, and taste, have changed since the 17th century. This paper covers a short history of beer-making in the 16th and 17th century and how past brews differ from present-day brews. The experimental archaeology procedure for replicating historical beer today is also recounted to understand the...
Sex and Penitence: Untold Stories of 18th-Century Contraception and Religious Fervor from Collections Excavated in the 1980s (2017)
At the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory (MAC Lab), the philosophy on collections is "Yes, you can have access to that," and making access a top priority has delivered valuable and surprising results. This paper is a tale of two artifacts from 1980s collections that have been reexamined and re-identified in the past year and a half: a possible lamb intestine condom from a ca. 1720-1750 well (originally catalogued as "paper?"), and a cilice recovered from a 19th-century Jesuit...
Sex in a Cup: Feminist Dilemmas in French Chocolate (2017)
This paper considers the intertwining of chocolate-related material culture, representation in paintings and drawings, gender, and recipes across the colonial French Atlantic world. During the eighteenth century, chocolate moved from being an exotic luxury to a daily necessity. In fact, chocolate was one of the crucial items that Loyalist escapees from the French Revolution asked for when they moved to French Azilum in Pennsylvania. During this time, chocolate also became increasingly gendered,...
Sex Workers in the City: Presentation and Interaction in 19th-century Boston’s Urban Landscape (2016)
Historical and archaeological analysis of sex work in the 19th-century tends to focus on what happens inside brothels. What happens when sex workers venture out into the city in the course of their daily lives? In this paper I examine the historical and archaeological evidence recovered from the mid-19th century 27-29 Endicott Street brothel located in the North End neighborhood of Boston, MA, and consider where in the urban landscape the residents of the brothel—Madame, servant, sex worker and...
Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll: Digging Hippie Archaeology in the Lone Star State (2013)
In 2012, Texas Tech University conducted archaeological excavations at Peaceable Kingdom Farm, in Washington, Texas. The 300-acre property was part of land owned in 1824 by one of Stephen F. Austin’s 300 original colonists, William S. Brown. Later the property was sold to John D. McAdoo, a Texas Supreme Court justice who operated a plantation here in the 1850s. After emancipation, tenant farmers occupied the property and in the 1960s and 70s the property served as a Hippie colony known as...
Sexuality in the (Nineteenth-Century) City: Practicing Class in Gotham’s Bedrooms (2016)
Sexuality provides a powerful mechanism for patrolling the boundaries of socially constructed communities. Imagined as a natural expression of basic human behavior, sexuality naturalizes social boundaries and marks them as immutable. In the Nineteenth Century, the medical ills of the "overly-civilized" were identified as having a sexual basis. Hysteria was given an etiology of too frequent sexual activity. Education or business would interfere with the proper development of the uterus. For...
