DOCUMENT Full-Text Meagan Dennison. Eric G. Schweickart.

This presentation considers the foodways of plantation inhabitants in the antebellum costal South with reference to one particular food resource, the turtle. Turtle remains represent a small but ubiquitous portion of faunal assemblages recovered from late 18th and early 19th century sites in the southern states, and historic documents indicate that antebellum Americans drew upon European, African, and Native American cooking traditions to create a turtle-based cuisine which played an important...

THE TWELVE APOSTLES: CONCEPTION, OUTFITTING, AND HISTORY OF 16th-CENTURY SPANISH GALLEONS (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jose L Casaban.

During the 16th century, Spain created an empire whose territories spanned Europe, America, and Asia. The most renowned ocean-going vessel employed by the Spanish during this period was the galleon. However, our knowledge of galleons is limited due to inaccuracies in their contemporaneous representations and the absence of archaeological evidence. This paper uses the Twelve Apostles, a series of newly-designed Spanish galleons built between 1589 and 1591, to bridge the gaps in our current state...

Twelve Days at Sea: Preliminary Results of the 2019 Geophysical Survey Campaign of Submerged Pre-Contact Landscapes in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico (2020)

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Love That Dirty Water: Submerged Landscapes and Precontact Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sea-level rise models demonstrate that, prior to the last glacial maximum, there was a larger landmass available for pre-contact human habitation in North America. Previous research has identified two landscape features offshore, situated 48 miles apart; both at water depths of 17 m BSL and both dated to...

Twice Buried at Stenton: GPR in an Urban Family Cemetery (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Meagan Ratini. Elisabeth A. LaVigne. Deborah L. Miller. Dennis Pickeral.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Two Meals for Two Tables: Comparing the Diets of Free and Enslaved Washingtons (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Philip Levy. David Muraca.

This paper compares faunal assemblages from two 1740s cellars located in the heart of the home lot of Ferry Farm—the childhood home of George Washington. Excavation of these cellars yielded rich assemblages of faunal material containing a wide array of animals and offering detailed perspectives on diet. What makes these cellars of special interest though is that they came respectively from the homes of the free Washingtons and the enslaved Washingtons. This means that these two contemporary...
