Violence can be seen in the archaeological record in many different ways, from trauma in the osteological record to depictions in iconography. This paper will focus on reactions to violence.  In World War II, all those of Japanese Ancestry living on the West Coast of the United States were forcibly incarcerated in prison camps. These people reacted to this violent act of imprisonment with many different strategies.  Recent archaeological work has examined the material manifestations of these...

Historic archaeology is uniquely positioned to provide a fuller understanding of the Japanese diaspora in the United States, and also allows the recordation of methods employed by nearly 120,000 forcibly relocated Japanese Americans to modify and adapt to their newfound surroundings. Using archaeological survey, excavation, oral history data and historic documents, research at the Granada Relocation Center, in southeast Colorado, has provided insight to identity maintenance strategies. Recent...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "New Avenues in the Study of Plant Remains from Historical Sites" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1761, John Bartram, a self-taught Philadelphia naturalist, attested that his garden could “challenge any in America for variety.” He primarily referred to Eastern North American flora identified during his plant-collection trips and brought under cultivation in his own garden. These species, including the...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Department of Archaeology at Colonial Williamsburg has begun a multi-year investigation of Custis Square, the 18th century Williamsburg home and gardens of John Custis IV. Utilizing enslaved labor, Custis transformed this four acre lot into one of the most elaborate ornamental gardens in America between 1714 and 1749. Developed at a time of transformation in European garden...

Marley Brown's investment in and foresight toward environmental and garden archaeology during his tenure at Colonial Williamsburg has created a community of scholarship and professional archaeologists that has adopted these research domains in a more scientific, critical, and publicly-engaged way than before.  Garden and environmental arcaheology are frequently topics of interest to historical archaeologists but have a checkered record of application.  This paper examines how lessons learned,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Returning to Colonial Williamsburg (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Department of Archaeology in collaboration with the Materials Analysis Laboratory at Colonial Williamsburg conducted paint analysis on fragments of early 18th century painted redware flower urns recovered from the home and garden of John Custis IV in Williamsburg, Virginia. Cross-section, scanning electron, and...

Gardens are spaces where households grow plants for food, medicine, and beauty. They provide subsistence as well as economic benefits. However, gardens are more than just economically functional. Gardens are also spaces where families interact and children are socialized, gender and status are negotiated, and ancestral memories are maintained. Archaeologically, soil chemistry, archaeobotany, and spatial analysis have enabled us to identify the locations of gardens, but addressing more...

Thomas Jefferson's Academical Village was built, operated and maintained on the labor of enslaved African Americans. The University of Virginia's unique built environment, the context of slavery within larger central Virginia, and the responsibilities of the white faculty and staff who supervised the operation of the educational institution created a context for slavery unlike other academic institutions. This paper will focus on the landscape of slavery in the nineteenth-century University of...

This paper focuses on previously unnoticed evidence for the pruning and dwarfing of plants represented in Roman garden paintings, such as the well-known example from the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta. Dozens of other examples of detailed garden scenes are preserved at Pompeii and Herculaneum. Their trompe l'oeil effects created interior garden settings for both living and dining spaces, as well as to extended the perceived extent of actual gardens in exterior courtyards of shops, houses, and...

The geometric structure of 17th through 19th century designed landscapes in Virginia has been well documented archaeologically. The composition of elements in these landscapes shows how their designers manipulated geometric forms, architectural conventions, and standardized measurements to impose order in the garden. By the end of the 18th century fashionable American gardens tended towards irregular picturesque compositions, however the arrangement of individual garden elements to achieve that...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of the Mid-Atlantic (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. "Salubria" is the oldest brick structure in Culpeper County, Virginia. The 1757 house, today, is unique in its presentation and interpretation. Preliminary archaeology, done in 2019, focused on the landscape surrounding the structure. In contemplating the season's results over the spring months of the Pandemic,...
