Glossary of Prehistoric and Historic Timber Buildings - Glossar zum prähistorischen und historischen Holzbau (2012)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Uploaded by: adam brin

This book enables researchers to communicate more easily and more precisely about historical European timber buildings than was possible before. The idea to collect terms for the subject of timber buildings occurred at a colloquium in Århus, DK, in 1987 and was implemented as a glossary of five languages and some 230 archaeological expressions until 1995. The present volume expands these beginnings to include existing buildings and was supplied with words from nine languages by one archaeologist...


Going Downhill: the Evolution of a Sheffield Neighbourhood from the 17th to the 20th Century (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rowan E May.

During the 2000s, Sheffield saw a sharp increase in developer-funded excavation of 18th- and 19th-century archaeological sites. This was due to extensive re-development of the city centre and a growing recognition of the importance of industrial-period remains to Sheffield’s heritage and identity. Remains of working-class housing built in association with a rapid rise in the population from the mid-18th century formed a significant proportion of the excavated sites. This paper will consider the...


Growing Resilience: Allotments For The Unemployed In 1930s Britain (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Hannah Connelly.

In the late 1920s the Society of Friends began an innovative scheme providing unemployed people with allotment gardens, enabling them to provide for their families by growing fruit and vegetables. Allotment sites are ever changing, reworked by later plotholders or destroyed by redevelopment, however, it is possible to research the archaeology of the Allotments for the Unemployed scheme through annual reports. Using photographs of allotments included in the reports I will discuss boundaries and...


Highbourne Cay Shipwreck Excavations – Dendro-archaeology (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Nigel T Nayling.

Excavation and recovery of the hull remains of a suspected 16th-century Iberian ship provided a rare opportunity to examine the nature of the forest products exploited and the methods of timber selection used in the ship’s construction. Analysis of recovered timbers combined a range of techniques including high magnification digital photographic capture of tree-ring sequences so that larger samples could be reburied with their parent timbers, 3D digital photogrammetry to capture spatial data for...

Historical Archaeology and Archaeological Practice in Europe: Challenges and Opportunities (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Paul Belford.

Historical archaeology has become much more widely accepted in Europe in the last ten years The same period has also seen tremendous changes in the way archaeology is undertaken in many European countries. Some - such as the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands - have adopted an 'Anglo-Saxon' model of free-market capitalism within a regulatory framework; others - such as France and Poland - remain strongly wedded to a more traditional statist model. These methodological differences reflect - and...

The Holland 5 Submarine Project (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark I Beattie-Edwards.

The Holland 5 submarine was one of the Britsh Royal Navy's first commissioned submarines. Lost in August 1912 she lay on the seabed off Eastbourne, Sussex, Egland until being discovered by a recreational diver in 1995.  Since 2006 the Nautical Archaeology Society have been organising trips to the submarine and undertaking monitoring work of the boats condition. The distant offshore position of the wreck presents unique problems to the heritage agencies in how the site should be protected. This...


Homesick: the Irish in asylums in the North of England (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Fennelly.

Following development of a nineteenth century asylum complex in the North of England, a clay pipe bowl and stem fragment were discovered. The bowl was incised with the words ‘Dublin’, and may have related to a local pipe maker who catered for the demand of an increasing market of emigrant Irish. Its presence indicates the conscious cultivation of an Irish-abroad identity within the larger growing population of the North of England. This paper will look at the issue of ‘homesickness’, juxtaposing...

Housing data for Romano-British settlements (2024)
DATASET Scott Ortman.

A key question in economic history is the degree to which preindustrial economies could generate sustained increases in per capita productivity. Previous studies suggest that, in many preindustrial contexts, growth was primarily a consequence of agglomeration. Here, we examine evidence for three different socioeconomic rates that are available from the archaeological record for Roman Britain. We find that all three measures show increasing returns to scale with settlement population, with a...


Housing for the metal trades in the industrial colony of Parkwood Springs, 1860-1970 (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Fennelly.

This paper will explore housing for working-class metal workers in Sheffield. The focus of the paper will be the nineteenth-century industrial colony of Parkwood Springs in north Sheffield, in the United Kingdom. Residential housing was constructed on the Parkwood Springs site to house workers employed in metal trades. The neighbourhood was isolated, as access was limited to a road tunnel running under a railway bridge, and later a footbridge - the primary route for local school children to the...

Identification of Vasco da Gama's Lost Ships Esmeralda and São Pedro (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Alexzandra M Hildred. Heather A. Stewart.

In 1998 the search began for two Portuguese vessels lost off the coast of Oman in 1503. Detailed analysis of primary and secondary sources describing the sinking included topographic, climatological and demographic information led to a bay on the NE coast of Al Hallaniyah Island.  Visual searches revealed types of shot only known in 15/16th  century contexts.  Excavation in 2013 /2014 yielded 975 composite shot found within a large concretion in a shallow gully together with 20 powder chambers...


Identifying the Landscape Impact of Enclosure using GIS-Aided Map Regression (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ronan O'Donnell.

Manuscript plans contain a variety of data concerning the landscape changes associated with enclosure.  These can be revealed by map regression; a technique which has been used in many previous studies but usually without the aid of GIS.  This paper will outline a simple method for the comparison of plans using GIS, in which maps which are directly comparable are created, eliminating the problems of the different scales and conventions used in manuscript plans.  This has revealed, among other...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Charlotte Goudge. Diane Wallman. Arik J. K. Bord. Jamie Arjona.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "African Diaspora in Florida" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Gamble Plantation dates to 1844 when North-Florida planter Robert Gamble established a sugar plantation along the Manatee River. Utilizing his seemingly inexhaustible financial assets Gamble built, and rebuilt, successive plantation mills on his new site implementing expensive, cutting-edge industrial technologies and vast reserves of slave labour...


Inhabiting Vatnsfjörður, Northwest Iceland: land, sea and movement (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Oscar Aldred.

In this paper I will examine the same locale, Vatnsfjörður, from the land and from the sea. Drawing on 19th and 20th century historical accounts and the surveying of archaeological sites, I will assess the degree to which taking a relational approach brings greater clarity to historical interpretation. The thesis is that relational approaches facilitate the actualization and the operation of strategies for understanding what it was like to live and work in a remote part of Iceland. The approach...

Introduction: Experiencing urban transition and change (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Emma Dwyer.

Historical archaeologists benefit from (or are overwhelmed by) closer chronological resolution and availability of varying sources than those studying other periods, inviting alternative approaches to interpretation. As an introduction to the session, this paper will provide a brief overview of archaeological thought on the subject of micro-scales, fine-grained research, and biographical approaches to the relatively recent past. In the context of the session theme, the paper will make reference...
