The ‘Very Stillness of Things’: Object Biographies of Sailcloth and Fishing Net from the Point Pearce Aboriginal Mission (Burgiyana) Colonial Archive, South Australia (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Maddy E Fowler. Amy L Roberts. Lester-Irabinna Rigney.

This paper details the discovery of early 20th century sailcloth and fishing net samples pertaining to the lives of Aboriginal peoples on Point Pearce Aboriginal Mission (Burgiyana). Biographies for the samples are explored, from which it is argued that these objects may have many viewpoints assigned to them. The sailcloth and fishing net samples allow the telling of complex stories from the past and present. These stories include the resilience, adaptability and strength of Narungga culture...

A Village School in the City? Urban transition and School Heritage (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah J. M. May.

Schools are a key component of urbanism, places where the regulatory apparatus of the state reaches into the lives of families. High density, busy, with ever shifting power politics creating spaces of fear and safety; creativity and control. In many ways they are hyper-urban. The establishment of Board Schools at the end of the 19th century in Britain coincides with the expansion of coastal cites such as Portsmouth. Throughout the 20th century ideology has been explicitly and publicly expressed...

Visualizing the visible: Mapping Access and Commodities at a 19th century Farmhouse (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Quentin Lewis.

In this paper, I utilize GIS and other programs to explore the complexities of interior space in an early 19th century rural household. The E.H. and Anna Williams House in Deerfield, Massachusetts was lived in by the same family for much of the first half of the 19th century. The Williamses were wealthy, and filled their house with goods from around the world, in addition to the material necessities of running a working farm. Their house still stands today, as a museum, but what I will show is...

Shipbuilding by James Martin Hilhouse at Bristol during this period of conflict. This young man aged 24 founded in 1772 a shipbuilding business that lasted 200 years and built large warships and merchantmen in Dockyards on the Avon that no longer exist but there is valuable archival material and some recent archaeological surveys have taken place. How did he use the experience gained by his apprenticeship to the Master Shipwright in Royal Dockyards for the benefit of Bristol merchants with...

"We liked the Ladies’ little double bed": Queer Pilgrimage and the Heritage House (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alison Oram.

Particular heritage houses have long been associated with prominent figures who have been claimed for queer history. Plas Newydd, Llangollen, the home of the Ladies of Llangollen, for example, drew admiring and fascinated visitors during their own lifetimes and since, many of whom were keen to replicate or fantasise about a similar romantic friendship or sexual relationship (depending on their interpretation of its nature). Changing attitudes to same-sex love in recent decades raise a new set of...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brian M. Fahy. Veronica Walker-Vadillo.

This paper lays out the the current archaeological findings of the Manila-Acapulco Trade route, and analyzes the navigation pattern as they travel from Manila, through the embocadero then travelling the northern trade winds over to North America. The route can take 4-6 months, and takes a heavy toll on the crew and their passengers. almost one third of this time is taken to traverse the Embocadero, a water route weaving through the middle of the Phillipine Islands. Knowing there were other...

"When Hungate Was Taken Down.........." – Solid And Ephemeral: The Dichotomy At The Heart Of The Archaeology Of Clearance In 1930s York. (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Peter A. Connelly.

In the early 1930s the Hungate district of York had become renowned as an area of dilapidated buildings and people living in poverty. In parallel to this the York Corporation had embarked on a new housing programme. This new programme required tenants and in an act of self fulfilling prophecy this process drove the demolition of Hungate. This act of clearance is solidly defined in the archaeology, through the remains of levelled buildings and rubble. However, the act of demolition is fleeting...

Where Archaeology and History Diverge: how the archaeology of mystery U-boat wrecks challenges official history but yields insights into the realities of anti-submarine warfare in World War Two. (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Innes J. McCartney.

Research into the archaeology and distribution of 29 U-boat wrecks in the English and Bristol Channels, sunk in 1944 -1945 reveals that over a third of them do not match the losses recorded in the official histories of World War Two. Through historical research and archaeological recording these mystery sites can now be tentatively identified. What this process has revealed is how and why the Allies did not correctly assess the losses during wartime. It gives a unique insight into the challenges...

The work space of the British planter class, 1770 – 1830 (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christer Petley.

Focusing on Jamaica, the largest and most prosperous eighteenth-century British sugar colony, this paper will analyse the work space of wealthy Caribbean planters within a wider British-Atlantic context. The letters and probate inventory of Simon Taylor (1738-1813), one of the wealthiest sugar planters of his generation, will provide the main basis for the paper, which will analyse two aspects of the world of the planters and their perceptions of it. First, it will examine where plantation...

Working with indigenous (descendant) communities and the study of Roman Britain (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Hingley.

This paper explores the meaning of the Roman past to people in Britain. The imperial context of Roman studies has been interrogated for almost two decades and alternative, more-critically-based, accounts of the impact of Roman upon Britain have been produced. The popular media, however, often portrays the Roman intervention in Britain as having granted material progress to barbarian Britons through the gift of Roman civilization. These arguments tend to divide specialists from the broader...

Working-class culture in the urban landscape of twentieth-century Sheffield (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Fennelly.

This paper will examine the legacy of early twentieth-century working-class cultural practice encoded within the archaeology of the post-industrial landscape of Sheffield, in the United Kingdom. Sheffield was a booming industrial city, specialising in the metal trades, which underwent a considerable building boom towards the end of the nineteenth century. The north-city suburb of Firth Park saw the rapid expansion of domestic housing stock and the opening of Sheffield’s first public park in this...

World Heritage and Industrial Archaeology on Minions Moor: Cars, Cattle and Commoners (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hilary Orange.

Tin and copper mining on Minions Moor (Cornwall, England) was a relatively brief interlude in the traditional economy of the moor, which is largely based around grazing. In 1836 rich reserves of copper were discovered here, leading to mass immigration and the development of moorland settlements. The ensuing mining boom turned to bust after only 40 years. As the industrial wasteland began to green-over grazing practices were gradually reintroduced. The moor today is commonly seen as a ‘natural’...
