Placing it on the Table...or Under It: Negotiations in the Saloons of Highland City, Montana and the Tavern of Smuttynose Island, Maine (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan Victor.

Frontiers are creative, at times chaotic, places of the collusion and collision of ideas; as people encounter one another, as well as the geological and ecological forces of the physical environment, they forge spaces of meeting, interaction, dynamism, and change. These features are inherent to frontiers regardless of time period or geographic region. Having wrapped up the final year of excavations at the mining town of Highland City, Montana (1866-1890), I have compared the...

Canoes and periaugers were among the most common vessels utilized in the agricultural economy in...

Plantation Site Context—taking a scalar approach to examining plantation landscapes (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Reeves.

Plantations consist of multiple sites spread across the landscape with site contexts that are can be easily seen as discrete and separate entities. This paper argues for seeing these sites from more of a single site context using horizon markers on varying scales of inter-relation. These horizon markers can range from particular artifact types (sets of unique ceramics, agricultural implements), depositional contexts (rubble and fill deposits), and occupation period (generational/new owners)....

Plants, People, And Pottery: Looking At The Personal Agriculture Of The Enslaved In South Carolina. (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Nicole M. Isenbarger.

The wealth of the Southern states was built upon the free labor of enslaved Africans toiling in the agricultural fields of their masters’ staple crops. In the Lowcountry of South Carolina the enslaved worked within the task system, which allotted them "free time" to then work to supplement the meager rations they were given. Research into the diets and spirituality of enslaved Africans can lend insight into the foods they purchased, grew, and foraged – personal agriculture in the face of...

Playgrounds as Domestic Reform (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Renée M. Blackburn. Suzanne Spencer-Wood.

Playgrounds contributed to several domestic reform movements. Community mothering in playgrounds formed part of social settlements, the public cooperative housekeeping movement, and the municipal housekeeping movement. Playgrounds were also part of the public health reform movement and the Cult of Real Womanhood that promoted exercise to strengthen the working class and to address the perception of women’s sickliness in the Cult of Invalidism. In the City Beautiful movement playgrounds and...

Playing with Gender: Considerations of Intersecting Identities Expressed through Childhood Materials at Fort Davis, Texas (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David G. Hyde. Katrina C. L. Eichner.

Too often, children are made invisible in the archaeological record. However, as a site of experimentation and play where multiple interrelated subjectivities are in constant negotiation, childhood is the foundation for identity construction. Using an assemblages of children’s toys and personal items from 19th and 20th century Fort Davis, Texas , we posit that childhood is a reflection of larger social dynamics. Employing the materials of daily life, we will focus on how children’s negotiations...

Pleasure or All Customers?: Disrupting Heteronormative Perceptions of Nineteenth-century Prostitution (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jade Luiz.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Gender Revolutions: Disrupting Heteronormative Practices and Epistemologies" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Studies of nineteenth-century prostitution have always been tied in some manner to discussions of gender. In sites of organized prostitution, the narrative has been that women commoditized their sexuality and men purchased it from them. This subversion of nineteenth-century sexual norms has led to...

Plundering the Spanish Main: Henry Morgan’s Raid on Panama (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tomas Mendizabal. Frederick H Hanselmann. Juan Martin.

Yet through the little historical documentation and archaeological evidence that exists, much can be learned about his exploits that led to the creation of his fame and legend. The Spanish Main, or the continental Spanish...

Poaching Pots and Making Places: Slavery and Ceramic Consumption in the Shenandoah Valley (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew C. Greer.

The Shenandoah Valley, with its German / Scots-Irish heritage and its focus on small-scale mixed farming, formed a distinctive region within early 19th century Virginia. Here, unique ways of interacting with global markets emerged as residents profited off the sale of agricultural products while simultaneously choosing to purchase locally made earthenwares over imported wares, practices which reproduced local ethnic identities. However, many of the region’s White residents owed Black Virginians,...

This is an abstract from the "Capacity Building or Community Making? Training and Transitions in Digital Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Community or public archaeology has been the focus of professional effort and academic examination for decades. Most of this has a goal of creating public value, and takes the form of ‘outreach’ from a presumed disciplinary core, potentially downplaying conflict within the discipline. It is also a...
