Scaling and Integration in Environmental Archaeology (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Allison L Bain.

In planning research strategies that integrate environmental archaeology, comparative data sets are strongly encouraged. If analyses of faunal, floral or insect remains reveal details about past environments and economies, then the integration of other methods can only provide more data, improving our knowledge of past populations and their daily lives. A decade of environmental research and sampling on a single site in Quebec City, the Intendant’s Palace Site, has allowed the opportunity to...

Schwatka: The History and Engineering of a Late Nineteenth-Century Yukon River Steamboat (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John C Pollack. Sheli O. Smith. Sean Adams. Robyn P Woodward.

In the late 19th century the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon Territory created an unprecedented shipbuilding boom along the West Coast of North America. More than 131 riverboats were constructed in a single year, often with considerable design variation. This paper describes the history, unique characteristics and engineering of the well-preserved wooden hull of Schwatka, a stern wheel steamboat now lying in the terrestrial "boneyard" at West Dawson, Yukon, Canada.

Searching For Unmarked Burials At Residential Schools in Canada: Leave No Child Behind (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Paulette Steeves.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Boarding And Residential Schools: Healing, Survivance And Indigenous Persistence", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Discussions on Residential Schools in Canada have been focused on a system that began in the late 1800,s. However, those discussions ignore the first 240 years of Residential School history. The first Residential School in Canada opened in 1620 in Quebec City. Minimally this history includes 886...

Settlement and Industry in the Wild West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adrian T. Myers.

A planned 30 km long paved path connecting the towns of Tofino and Ucluelet through Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, prompted an opportunity for an archaeological assessment of a cross section of this coastal Canadian National Park. The survey recorded over 25 historic sites that together illustrate a multi-layered past of historic settlement and use of the area which included homesteading, mining, logging, Second World War and Cold War...

Settlement Orginization at Sugarloaf Estate (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Khadene Harris. Alan Armstrong. Mark Hauser.

This paper is a summary of the ongoing analysis of artifacts and spatial data recovered from the enslaved quarters of the Sugarloaf Estate in northern Dominica. The enslaved village associated with the estate was established sometime before 1771 and abandoned in 1834 after a violent hurricane destroyed much of the village and left at least 3 dead. Initial interpretations of the landscape have emphasized symmetry, optics, and relationships of power. Yet such interpretations are premised on a...

Sharing the CRM Wealth: Creating a Searchable Archaeological Database with GIS (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Riddle. Katherine Hull.

This is an abstract from the "Technology in Terrestrial and Underwater Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Academic excavations are no longer the driving force behind archaeological research in North America. In the current economy, private cultural resource management firms (and also those based within academic institutions) complete most archaeological field activities. However, the results of these surveys and excavations are often...

Ships As "Social Spaces": Analysing Shipwrecks From A Social Perspective (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brad Loewen.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "From the Bottom Up: Socioeconomic Archaeology of the French Maritime Empire" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When Keith Muckelroy (1978) conceptualised ships as machines, closed social spaces and extensions of land-based systems, he didn’t equip his ideas with working methods for analysing shipwrecks. Similarly, Richard Gould (2000) didn’t undergird his “social history of ships” with clear methods. Given...

The Significance of Hotel Ware Ceramics in the Twentieth Century (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adrian T. Myers.

Hotel Ware is a highly durable, vitrified ceramic tableware introduced by American potters in the late nineteenth century. The ware became tremendously popular in the first half of the twentieth century, with production peaks in the late 1920s and again in the late 1940s. Hotel Ware was prized for its toughness and cost-effectiveness, and was the ware of choice in nearly every commercial and institutional setting of that period. Excavations at trash middens at the site of Riding Mountain Prison...

Sites of Difficult Memory: The Haciendas of Chimborazo, Ecuador (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ross Jamieson.

From the 17th century until the land reforms of the last fifty years, hacienda agriculture dominated the highland region surrounding Chimborazo, Ecuador. Many of the central building complexes of these operations now stand as ruins on the landscape. Through interviews, historical research, and site survey, I explore the role that these ruins play as silent witnesses to a difficult past for rural indigenous communities today.

Slavery and memory in France’s former colony: designing the commemoration of memory at the Loyola cemetery while respecting sensibilities of history (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Reginald Auger.

Our paper reflects on the development of a commemoration concept which takes into account the sensibilities of descendants from the slave trade period in French Guiana. Memory of the trade period is a sensitive issue among most Caribbean Islands; our 16-year experience of research at one site presents various questions with which we are confronted in order for the local population to appropriate the spirit of place. Under Jesuit rule the Loyola Plantation comprised an area making slightly over...

So Many Paddlewheels – So Little Time! (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robyn P Woodward. John C Pollack.

This is an abstract from the "Maritime Transportation, History, and War in the 19th-Century Americas" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 1896 Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon Territory of Canada precipitated an unprecedented surge of shipbuilding along the West Coast of North America. Within two years there were 130 boats in operation in the region and over the next 50 years, an additional 130 riverboats were put in service along the river and...

The Sociopolitical Landscapes of Hacienda "El Progreso", 1887-1904: Historical Ecology of the Galápagos Islands (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Fernando Astudillo. Peter Stahl. Florencio Delgado.

Hacienda El Progreso was one of the largest and most advanced companies of Ecuador during the late 19th century. It covered the southwestern highlands of San Cristobal Island in the Galápagos archipelago. Sugar cane, alcohol, and coffee were the main products exported. As a result, vast areas of the island were deforested to create agricultural parcels and grasslands. During its active years a series of cultural events modified the natural landscape and formed a unique political landscape....

Spatial analyses and 3-D Interpretative modelling at Loyola Habitation (1730-1768) (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Raphaelle Lussier-Piette.

This is an abstract from the "Jesuit Missions, Plantations, and Industries" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Loyola Habitation was a Jesuit plantation founded in 1668 for the purpose of financing missions in South America and as a place of respite for missionaries in French Guiana. Archaeological research at Loyola, conducted by Université Laval and a local French association (APPAAG) since the 1990s, has focused primarily on the residential...
