Commerce and Consequences: Considering the Impact of Mexican Independence on Eastern New Mexico (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelly Jenks.

While the struggle for Mexican independence was a relatively remote concern for colonists in New Mexico, its consequences were immediate and profound. After Mexico opened its northern border to trade with the United States, commerce between the two countries brought American merchants and merchandise to and through New Mexico, creating new economic opportunities for local residents and introducing numerous changes to their daily lives. These opportunities came with a cost; 25 years later,...

Commercial Connections in the Chinese Diaspora (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John P. Molenda.

What do Chinese work camps in the American West tell us about emergent capitalist networks in the mid-nineteenth century? This talk will draw upon current archaeological and ethnographic fieldwork as well as historical studies to contextualize the historical archaeology of Chinese railroad laborers. The extant archaeological remains found on work camps - hearths, ceramic sherds, game pieces, etc - only tell part of the story. A focus on remittances, and the transnational flow of cash, goods,...

Commodification, Taskscapes, And The Alienation From Landscape At The Biry House In Castroville, Texas (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Hanley.

This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Scholars have employed Ingold’s concept of the taskscape in order to understand how past population interacted with their landscape. In a historic context, taskscape connections between past populations and their landscape become harder to understand due to commodity fetishism, when the capitalist market both spatially and socially alienates those using an...

Commoditization, Consumption and Interpretive Complexity: The Contingent Role of Cowries in the Early Modern World (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara Heath.

The commoditization of cowrie shells in the 17th and 18th centuries was central to the economics of the consumer revolution of the early modern world. Cowries drove the Africa trade that cemented economic relationships between rulers, investors, merchants, and planters in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. From their origins in the Pacific, to the markets of India, from Europe to West Africa, and from West Africa to the New World, cowries played a central role as both commodities and...

Commodity Culture: the formation, exchange, and negotiation of Early Republican Period identity on a periphery of the Spanish Empire in Western El Salvador (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lauren Alston Bridges.

During the Early Republican Period, the sugar industry increasingly connected a fledgling Salvadoran country to a global market. A creolized labor force produced sugar on large estates known as haciendas. The hacienda was a crossroads of indigenous, African, and European interests as evidenced in the ceramic landscapes of the Río Ceniza Valley. The extensive organization of labor, on a periphery of the Spanish Empire, was underscored by a complex set of power relations. This research focuses on...

Common Men in Uncommon Times: Examining Archaeological and Historical Evidence to Reconstruct the Daily Lives of Civil War Sailors (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephanie Koenig.

The American Civil War was a tumultuous period in history for the United States, forcing brother against brother in a battle over the secession of the Confederate States. To study the Civil War sailor, a wealth of archival information exists in the form of personal narratives. Like their ships, naval crews were very much a reflection of where they were built and supplied. This paper extracts evidence for shipboard life from these sources and seeks to contextualize the daily lives of sailors...

Communal Trapping and Pinyon Exploitation in the Wovoka Wilderness (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Frederic Dillingham. Bryan Hockett. Evan Pellegrini. Jeffrey Weise.

Heritage resources are recognized as a characteristic of the relatively new Wovoka Wilderness, created in 2014. Located in western Nevada’s Pine Grove Hills and in the Sierra Nevada’s rain shadow, resources relate to pine nut exploitation and communal artiodactyl hunting. The Wichman deer game trap still has standing corral posts, providing insights about the structure and function of Great Basin traps. Other game traps, blinds, rock rings, brush huts and bow stave trees are among the resources...

Communities in Conflict: Racialized Violence During Gradual Emancipation on Long Island (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meg Gorsline.

From New Amsterdam to Seneca Village, Diana diZerega Wall has examined the often-conflicting interactions of communities living in close relation. In the early nineteenth century, the nearly 30-year process of Gradual Emancipation slowly dismantled the system of slavery in New York State, but it also created the conditions for the perpetuation of inequality among closely intertwined peoples: the black and white inhabitants of eastern Long Island. Inspired by Wall’s ability to uncover the...

Communities of Culture on the Early American Frontier: Investigating the Daniel Baum Family, Carroll County, Indiana (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher R. Moore.

Daniel and Ascenith Baum arrived in Carroll County, Indiana on a keel boat in April 1825. One of the pioneering families in the region, the Baum residence quickly became a social entrepôt. The first store in the county was opened in one of the Baum cabins, the first courts were held in the Baum house, and travelers coming up the Wabash River regularly stopped at the Baum’s. The Baum farm, then, was a focal point for the development of a community identity for the region’s early settlers. This...

Community Archaeology and Collaborative Interpretation at a Rosenwald School (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Love. Emma Mason.

Of more than 5,000 Rosenwald Schools built during the 20th century in the southern United States, the Fairview School in Cave Spring, Georgia was constructed to provide an educational facility for the local African-American community. Following the site’s rediscovery in 2009, the local Cave Spring community and alumni of Fairview have spearheaded efforts to preserve and interpret Fairview’s historic campus. Most of the buildings located on the Fairview campus were demolished, originally...

Community Archaeology and the Criminal Past: Exploring a Detroit Speakeasy (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Brenna J Moloney.

Community-engaged archaeology has played a role in reshaping the city of Detroit’s popular heritage narrative from one of decline and decay to one more rich and complex. In 2013, archaeologists from Wayne State University investigated Tommy's Bar, a rumored Prohibition-era speakeasy and haunt of the infamous Purple Gang. The project was a partnership between the University, a historic preservation non-profit, and the bar's owner. The project culminated in a theme party where archaeologists...

Community Archaeology at a Neighborhood Scale in Boston's Chinatown (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph M. Bagley. Jocelyn S Lee.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A significant Chinese immigrant wave began in Boston during the 1870’s. Throughout the next decade, a centralized Chinese community began to form downtown on Harrison, Essex, and Beach Avenues. This neighborhood allowed residents to converge on Sundays, meet with friends, buy food and supplies, and seek solace through gambling and opium. Recently, Boston’s Chinatown residents requested an...

Community Archaeology in Action: The Partnership Between NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary and the Battle of the Atlantic Research and Expedition Group (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Aaron Hamilton. William R. Chadwell.

In the three-plus years of its existence, the Battle of the Atlantic Research and Expedition Group has been engaged in a mutually-beneficial partnership with NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary. The Group, which is a part of the Institute of Maritime History, a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit corporation, is made up nearly exclusively of avocational archaeologists and historians all of whom are sport, or recreational, scuba divers. Yet since its founding in late 2012, it has conducted or...
