The Archaeology of Gender in Historic America (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Deb Rotman.

Gendered social relations are fundamental to human experience. The ways in which individuals understand their roles as gendered beings and their relationships to other gendered beings is constantly pushed and pulled by forces both internal and external to the individual and the family/social/economic unit to which they belong at multiple scales from the household to the community to the nation. Identity, sexuality, cultural prescriptions for social roles, socioeconomic class, ethnic heritage,...

Archaeology: Antarctica and Outer Space (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bryan Lintott.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Pre-Recorded Video Presentation Things and the Global Antarctica", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The mythos of Antarctica and Outer Space is imbued with an aura of adventure and association with iconic figures of exploration and science that have influenced public discourses and political decisions. Beyond these tropes in the public domain are hard geospatial-geopolitical considerations, complex logistics,...

A Case for STP Survey on Carribean Plantations: Stewart Castle, Jamaica (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean Devlin. Lynsey A. Bates. Jillian Galle.

In this paper, we argue that site survey, prior to and in addition to open area excavation, is essential to addressing our understanding of the contested landscapes of plantation life. Building on a research strategy employed by DAACS on former British Caribbean plantations, preliminary results from 2016 fieldwork at the eighteenth-century Jamaican sugar estate of Stewart Castle suggest the methodological power and analytical opportunities of systematic shovel-test-pit (STP) survey. This...

Claiming a House of Bondage: Examining Spatial Relationships of Domestic Slavery at Montpelier (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Terry Brock.

The arrangement of domestic slavery in elite 18th and 19th century homes was built on an unsteady relationship between the enslaved laborers and the owner of the households. At Montpelier, this was amplified by a plantation landscape crafted as an entertainment space, and who's creation and maintenance relied entirely on the obedience and cooperation of enslaved laborers. These laborers lived and worked in and around the Mansion, and were integral to the performance of domesticity that James and...

Comales and Colonialism - Identifying Colonial Inequality through a Spatial Analysis of Foodways on a Seventeenth Century New Mexican Spanish Estancia. (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adam C Brinkman.

During the late sixteenth and seventeenth century colonization of New Mexico by Spanish colonists and indigenous Mexican auxiliaries, rural ranches or estancias, were established in close proximity to autonomous Pueblo villages along the Rio Grande. These estancias were the setting for complex negotiations of colonial power structures which were based upon the exploitation of labor from indigenous peoples. At LA-20,000, an early colonial estancia located off a branch of El Camino Real near Santa...

Constructing A Community Of Color: A Spatial Analysis Of New Guinea On Nantucket (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jared P Muehlbauer.

In 1827, the community of New Guinea on Nantucket, MA opened the doors of the African Meeting House. The African Meeting House’s construction was a milestone event in the establishment of this thriving community of color. People of African and Native ancestry on Nantucket coupled this with buying property, building homes, starting businesses, and founding institutions to create a space that allowed them refuge from daily experiences of racism, and facilitated community resistance. By examining...

The Construction And Utilisation Of Social Space On Board The Vasa (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen R Boyle.

The Vasa was designed to be an extension of the King’s court. This would mean that the court structure would be transferred to the Vasa itself when at sea with the King on board. Although a big ship for the time, transferring a full court system with all the accompanying entourage to the Vasa would lead to a very complicated social structure in a surprisingly small area. The Great Cabin, the officers cabin, the decks where the crew slept, ate and socialised as well as the hold where the ships...

Landlord Villages Of Iran As An Example Of Political Economy In Historical Archaeology (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ruth Young.

The high, mud brick walls enclosing whole villages owned entirely by wealthy landlords are common sites across Iran. Now largely abandoned but with occupation still within living memory, these villages offer the opportunity to explore use of space and analyses of material remains in relation to status, economic function, and individual and group identity. Analyses the walled landlord villages of the Tehran Plain have been carried out in order to explore hierarchy and control, and how these...

Lessons In Advocacy: The International Space Station And The Archaeology Community (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tara Ruttley.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The International Space Station (ISS) is a unique and critical resource for benefits to Earth and the future of space exploration. Since 1998, it is the only place in the universe where people can perform experiments where the absence of gravity is a new variable. But why bother? Why should the public care, and why should the government spend its money on this amazing orbiting...

Living In Danger: The Spatial Practices In The Pre-industrial Pitch Mill Site In Early Modern Oulu, Finland (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marika Hyttinen. Timo Ylimaunu. Titta Kallio-Seppä.

In the early 17th century the coastal towns in the present-day northern Finland’s Gulf of Bothnia, at that time a part of Swedish kingdom, became home to the pre-industrial mills manufacturing pitch by boiling tar. Producing pitch by fire was a dangerous process as tar was a highly flammable material, so the pitch mills were often founded on the islands or secluded places outside the inhabited urban area. This poster discusses the spatial practices of the pitch mill society and how the physical...

Longevity and authority in a mobile world the megasites of the Ugandan grasslands (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Reid.

Much of the recent past of Great Lakes Africa is characterised by short-lived settlements and mobile societies, that produced ephemeral occupation sites. In part because of this, attention has long been drawn to sites like Bigo and Ntuusi which seem to offer much more substantive archaeological remains. Yet, notwithstanding the longevity of the latter and the extent of both, this is clearly not a simple occupation site featuring a large population. Rather it is much more effective to understand...

"Oh Freedom Over Me:" Space, Agency, and Identity at Elam Baptist Church in Ruthville, Virginia (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Schumann.

Founded in 1810, Elam Baptist Church was one of the first Virginian churches that free blacks controlled. The church's architectural layout cited that of local white churches, containing separate entrances for whites, free blacks and enslaved blacks. This paper discusses the ways in which the agency and identity of the local free black community emerged through the historically and spatially specific relationships in which Elam was enmeshed. The boundaries that the free black community created...

"on the same River where the Dutch have built a wretched redoubt": Space, Place and the Creation of the Southern Border of New France in the Lake Champlain Richelieu River Valley. (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Beaupre.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Forts in Comparative, Global, and Contemporary Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The long 18th century was a time of conflict and contestation between the French, British and First Nations peoples in eastern North America. In a 1663 letter the Baron Pierre Dubois D’Avaugour, Governor of New France, suggested building three forts to defend the southern frontier of the colony. In 1665 –...

Painting Ourselves out of a Corner: Considerations on the Medium (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Victoria Lyall.

While the connections between ancient mural paintings and twentieth-century urban mural programs may seem tenuous, certain technical, structural, and physical considerations of the medium itself link exemplars from past and present. The inextricable relationship between murals and their architectural supports as well as its scale can compel a different type of viewing and visceral engagement than other types of two-dimensional media; it forces a relatedness that must be unpacked. In this paper,...

Private Utilities and Public Resources: 19th-Century Capitalism and Local Governance in Northwest Ohio (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Chidester.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Northwest Ohio experienced explosive growth in the second half of the 19th century due to the importance of Toledo as a Great Lakes shipping entrepôt as well as the discovery of oil and natural gas deposits in the counties to the south of Toledo. From the 1870s to the early 1900s private ventures and local governments sparred over...

Remodel, Rebuild, or Abandon?: Changing uses of space in an early West African Village (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen Dueppen. Daphne Gallagher.

Ancient villages in western Burkina Faso were long-lived communities, temporally rooted in deep social histories experienced in the built environment and local geography. The site of Kirikongo, continuously inhabited from ca. 100 CE to 1700 CE, and composed of 13 separate tells (mounds), exemplifies these spatio-temporal dynamics, as over time the economic and social characters of tells, and their spatial positioning and characteristics changed dramatically despite maintenance of certain spatial...

"The Rules of Good Breeding Must be Punctiliously Observed": Constructing Space at Mid-Nineteenth Century Fort Vancouver, Washington (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Elizabeth A. Horton.

The U.S. Army’s Fort Vancouver in southwest Washington was headquarters for Pacific Northwest military exploration and campaigns in the mid-19th century. Between 1849 and the mid-1880s, members of the military community operated within a rigid social climate with firm cultural expectations and rules of behavior that were explicitly codified and articulated within the larger Victorian societal culture of gentility. Drawing upon datasets derived from the archaeological record and documentary...
