The evolution from fortified to country house in Ireland (2013)
The paper summarizes the new architecture in three areas of Ireland during the early seventeenth century: the Ulster plantation, the Midland plantations, and the large areas outside of the plantations. A new but a distinct architecture of semi-fortified plantation houses emerged in this period. These houses sometimes had mannerist classical details of entrances, but usually no overall classical design. However, increasingly, the major plantation houses were set in impressive symmetrical...
The Evolution Of African American Settlement On A Georgia Plantation (2015)
Investigations of an African American slave and freedpeople settlement near Savannah, Georgia revealed the sequence of its internal organization between its establishment as a plantation slave quarter in the 1820s and its abandonment at the end of the century. Reconstruction of the quarter's layout suggested that at the time of its establishment, houses were arranged in an informal cluster according to principles the slaves established. Later in the antebellum period, the quarter took on a...
The Evolution of Hohokam Ceremonial Systems (1987)
The close similarity in the cosmological structure of the Mesoamerican and historic Pueblo cultures is shown to extend to the Hohokam as well. P.H. Cushing's proposal of this hypothesis is reviewed and date from the Casa Grande, the site structure of Hohokam villages, and the distributional parameters of Hohokam ballcourts are brought into relation to construct a general model of the evolution of Hohokam ceremonial systems. Further comparisons with the Chacoan system are suggested and the...
The Evolution of Public Interpretation: Instagram, Promotion, and the Passive Narrative (2018)
Following the rise of digital media in photography, the average historic site visitor has more ability than ever to influence the presented narrative of a particular place. While the "expert" interpretation is still a predominant method, the volume and availability of amateur or community user impressions provides a consistent program for engaging these viewpoints in the interpretation. Many archaeological sites have moved to somewhat control this narrative, providing Instagram accounts or...
