Bulow Plantation (8FL7) in Flagler County, Florida, occupied for only fourteen years, provides a narrow window into the life of enslaved African Americans living and working on an East Florida sugar plantation.  In the 2014 and 2015 field seasons, the University of Florida conducted excavations focusing on a single domestic slave cabin and the surrounding yard.  Results from these excavations will be presented with a particular focus on the life cycle of the cabin, from its construction in 1821...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "California: Post-1850s Consumption and Use Patterns in Negotiated Spaces" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the early 1900s, Molokans, a Russian-speaking religious community, immigrated to the United States to avoid religious persecution and conscription into the Tsars army. Smaller groups of Molokans settled throughout California and Baja California but the largest concentration was in East Los...

The Kensington/Fishtown and Port Richmond neighborhoods of Philadelphia were among the earliest areas in the city settled by Europeans. Though initially dominated by maritime trades, in the nineteenth century they developed into industrial districts centered on mills, shipyards, and the export of coal and grain. Much of Kensington and Port Richmond eventually became known as a tough working class areas with populace comprised mainly of Irish, German, and Polish immigrants, though the Fishtown...

This is an abstract from the "*SE The State of Theory in Southeastern Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Throughout the western hemisphere, historical ecologists working with Indigenous experts have made profound discoveries about the ways in which seemingly pristine ecosystems were shaped by Indigenous knowledge and practice over the course of thousands of years. Key methodologies include surveys of biodiversity and ecosystem structure...

In this paper we examine archaeological data from Blendon Landing, a village centered on logging in Southwest Michigan during the mid-nineteenth century. When the logging ceased, most left. However archaeological and historical analysis suggests that a period of squatting occurred following Blendon Landing’s "abandonment". Squatting, as a ‘mode of existence’ outside the primary relations of capitalism, is often neglected in historical and archaeological research. Life, however, does not end with...

This is an abstract from the "From Tomb Raider to Indiana Jones: Pitfalls and Potential Promise of Archaeology in Pop Culture" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Beaches have long attracted day-trippers and vacation goers who come to soak up the sun, splash in the ocean, and collect shells along their expanse. Nearly all coastal areas have their beach attractions and accompanying tourist industries. But the beaches along the American Southeastern...

This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper presents results of a recent archaeological survey and excavation at an elite Quaker site on Montserrat. In the early 1870s, the success of the Sturge family’s prosperous lime enterprise, The Montserrat Company Ltd., enabled John Edmund Sturge and his wife Jane to construct a residence known as "The Cot" overlooking the town of Salem. The home...

During the earliest decades of English colonization of the Chesapeake, the Potomac River Valley was a politically complex borderland between the colonies of Virginia and Maryland and Native American tribal groups. Here I trace the origins and development of the historic community of Chicacoan that emerged around 1640, and explore the domestic landscape of its leader, John Mottrom.  Mottrom settled a tract of land on the Coan River, south of the Potomac, which he acquired from the Chicacoan...

Beginning around 1100 CE, residents of the eastern Oklahoma Arkansas River drainage built mounds, shared elaborate mortuary rituals, and on some level participated in a maize-based agricultural system. These aspects of the broader Mississippian pattern were centered at Spiro Mounds. Beginning in 1300 CE, people began abandoning the mound sites on the margins of the Southern Plains. As climate conditions worsened in the fifteenth century, the residents of the Arkansas drainage adopted Plains...

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeologies of Contact, Colony, and Resistance" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 1621, Franciscan Missionaries arrived at Giusewa Pueblo. They came to convert the native Jemez peoples to Catholicism and with their aid built the Mission of San Jose de los Jemez. Two years later, the Jemez revolted burning the mission and abandoning the village. The subsequent three year war led to an estimated 3,000 Jemez...

This is an abstract from the "*SE New Orleans and Its Environs: Historical Archaeology and Environmental Precarity" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since its founding, New Orleans has required infrastructure to collect and move water from its below-sea-level terrain. The urban development of the city required drainage ditches and canals that connected to bayous, the Mississippi River, or Lake Pontchartrain. Although there was trash collection in...

J. Whittaker: Summarizes mechanics: lever action, not spring effect, needs flexible dart. Modern hunters using 8 oz (250 gm) darts, but BM equip was light. Penetration experiment on cow carcass. Wooden darts heavier than cane, but dart can be changed by different foreshaft + point combinations. Tried different woods to split, and saplings. Chose Dogwood with oak foreshafts for heavy darts (Berg 8 oz, Frison 12 oz) and box elder for lighter White Dog Cave dart replicas. Distribution of BM...

Material culture is a mediator between the living and the dead (Hallam and Hockey 2017).  Items used by the living can leave their mark osteologically, can follow an individual into a burial context, or can become part of an individual. Each of these actions leaves archaeological evidence of cultural communication. This paper examines the dialectical relationships between artifacts and osteology through an integrative analysis of the multilayered relationships between osteological data, artifact...

In the late nineteenth-century, while eastern U.S. cities thrived as magnets of immigration, the lesser-known cities west of the Mississippi struggled to retain what populations they could attract, especially in the face of natural and financial disasters. These cities had to find ways of signaling their strengths in order promote increased settlement and stronger economies, so that they could compete with other cities on both regional and national scales. As this paper will demonstrate, one...

Of the over 2000 individuals recovered from the Milwaukee County Poor Farm Cemetery (MCPFC), approximately one-third are juveniles under the age of 20. Age categories for the MCIG juveniles were established using a variety of dental, osteometric and nonosteometric methods. The example of juvenile lot 10007, (dental age assessment 5 postnatal months, osteometric age 39 fetal weeks) recovered with diaper fabric, safety pins, and a small angel pin, suggests that a more refined look at juvenile age...

The recent discovery and archaeological investigation of the 1559-1561 settlement of Tristán de Luna on Pensacola Bay, in concert with ongoing nearby excavations at the second and third Emanuel Point shipwrecks from Luna’s colonial fleet, has prompted new opportunities for research into the material culture of Spain’s mid-sixteenth-century New World empire.  In an effort to develop systemic linkages between the material traces left behind in different archaeological contexts, both terrestrial...

Climate change has taken over a large part of the disasters and development agenda. In examining the theory behind climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk reduction (DRR), and development, it is apparent that climate change offers little new. Climate change is one factor amongst many influencing hazards, to be considered when improving development and reducing vulnerabilities. This conclusion is reinforced by seeing that actions on the ground to deal with...
