The Immigrant Experience in an Urban Archaeological Context: Challenges and Opportunities in the Nation’s Capital (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ruth Trocolli. Christine Ames. Nicole C Grigg.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Preservation Challenges in a Global Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Studying the immigrant experience in urban archaeological contexts can be a challenge. Sites with immigrant residents often included tenants rather than property owners and were subject to high turnover. Washington, DC has always been a transient city and presents a particular global perspective where opportunities and...

Immigration and Economics in Newton and Huxley Cemeteries in southwestern Wisconsin (2021)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Laura Paisley.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Studying Human Behavior within Cemeteries (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Wisconsin cemeteries exhibit changes in the immigration and economic structures throughout the state’s history. Newton and Huxley Cemeteries located in southwestern Wisconsin are prime examples of how these changes are exhibited. Major nineteenth century migrant groups arriving to the area were from the eastern...

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Historical Analogy: Drawing Parallels Between Early 20th Century and Modern Immigrant Groups in Hazleton, Pennsylvania  (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Nyulassy.

In the town of Hazleton, PA, long-term residents exhibit a strong sense of American identity in reference to their ancestor’s immigration to the U.S. from Western, Southern and Eastern Europe in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Though members of this descendant group seem to be well aware of the ethnic and racial discrimination their forefathers faced, their views on a recent influx of Latino immigrants that have established themselves in the area are often surprisingly discriminative. In...


An Investigation Of Surface Assemblages Related To Contemporary Immigration In Southern Arizona (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only mario castillo.

For the last twenty years an archaeological record of immigration has taken shape in Arizona’s wilderness. This material record results from millions of undocumented men, women and children who have entered the U.S. without authorization by walking across the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona. Along the way these people eat, rest, and deposit a variety of objects (e.g., water bottles, clothes, personal effects) at ad-hoc resting areas known as migrant sites. These surface assemblages are...


Irish Immigration and Urban Transformation in a Boston City Neighborhood (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Webster.

When working class European immigrants first arrived on American shores, they had a profound effect on American cities. Throughout the nineteenth century, the processes of industrialization coupled with Boston’s position as a shipping hub created an influx of low-income laborers in need of housing. The Clough House, a colonial home built around 1715, functioned as a single-family residence for a century before being converted into a tenement for the working class. This poster explores the impact...


Is Close Enough, Enough?: Negotiations of Self and Place in Castroville, Texas through Ceramics. (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Hunter Crosby. Erin Whitson.

The mid-to-late-19th century marked a time of enormous material and social changearound the world. Newly available lands and a more fluid social structure made life in the American West, and Texas, especially desirable for immigrants from Europe. Immigrants from the French-German border region of Alsace sought and found opportunity in what would become Castroville, Texas. The Birys, a family within the community, sought opportunity like many new immigrants and faced many of the same challenges....


"It Doesn’t Matter if You’re a Citizen": Emic Perspectives on Border Patrol and Security from a Southern Arizona Border Town (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Murphy A Van Sparrentak. Chloe Bergsma-Safar.

          Arivaca, Arizona is one of many small unincorporated communities along the US/Mexican border that have recently been thrust into the media spotlight in the wake of discussions of immigration reform. The dominant media narrative coming out of these towns is typically characterized by anti-immigrant sentiment and calls for more Border Patrol presence. Drawing on ethnographic work in Arivaca and archaeological work focused on Border Patrol activities, I offer a counter narrative to the...


Laboring on the Edge: The Loma Prieta Mill and the Timber Industry in Nineteenth Century California (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Marco Meniketti.

From 1870 until 1920 the Loma Prieta timber mill ranked as one of California’s largest and most productive in terms of board-feet cut. Beginning operations a few years after the gold rush, workers were immigrants from many lands with aspirations for a better life than the one they left behind. The company clear-cut through ancient redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains, providing timber for regional railroads, housing, and building of San Francisco. Following deforestation the region was...


Lunar House: The Archaeology of Contemporary Immigration. (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jo Rees Howell.

The migration of people is no new phenomenon. It is, however, relatively recent that state and bureaucratic obstacles and controls have developed restrictions on the flow of migrants. State authorised immigration from former colonies and European Union member states is well documented. However, ‘illegal’ immigration, primarily that of those entering the country seeking asylum under the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention, and the role and position of those immigrants in society, remains...


Machines and the Migrant Under-employed: the production of surplus life and labor in the Anthracite coal fields of Northeast Pennsylvania (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael P Roller.

For much of its early history, underground coal mining involved material conditions which encouraged the solidarity and control of its independent skilled workers. Coal operations in the Anthracite region of Northeast Pennsylvania were among the first, however, to mechanize labor processes with steam shovels, waste processing, and other technical means to extract additional surplus profit from their investments. It also served to break the resistance of organized skilled workers. This technical...


Marking Presence, Passage and Place at the North Head Quarantine Station, Sydney (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Anne F Clarke. Ursula K Frederick.

A slowly fading inscription, scored into a sandstone boulder at the North Head Quarantine Station, Sydney, records the names of three, or possibly four, people—John, Alice Oliver and George. Dated to July 1893 the inscription prompts immediate questions: who were John, Alice Oliver and George? Were they a family? Under what circumstances did they find themselves in quarantine? Where did they come from and how? Did they survive their time in quarantine, or is this a memorial to loved ones lost?...


Merchant Status: Life, Labor, and Politics in the Time of Chinese Exclusion (2022)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Chelsea Rose. Jaqueline Y. Cheung. Eric Gleason.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Diverse and Enduring: Archaeology from Across the Asian Diaspora" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 1875 until 1943 treaties, laws, legal opinions, administrative rules, and regulations circumscribed the free movement of the Chinese immigrants in the U.S. and strictly limited the inflow of new migrants of Chinese descent. These efforts had a profound and lasting impact on the Chinese diaspora in the...

The Pistol in the Privy: Myths and Contexts of Southern Italian Violence in the Anthracite Coalfields of Northeast Pennsylvania (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael P Roller.

The discovery of a revolver in the privy deposits of a home in a coal company town in the anthracite region of Northeast Pennsylvania evokes a long history of Southern Italian racialization as violent and vindictive by dominating groups. These imagined characteristics mobilized the privileged to fear, and thereby act to contain or exclude Southern Italian laborers wherever they lived. At the same time a transnational context reveals complex historical continuities when considered through...

"Stepping Over the Line": Hyper-Masculinity, Institutionalized Violence, and the Archaeology of the U.S. Border Patrol (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ashley Schubert. Madeline Naumann. Jason De León.

The U.S. Border Patrol has come under heavy scrutiny following the deaths of 42 civilians since 2005, numerous reports of migrants being physically and sexually assaulted while in custody, and the surfacing of videos showing aggressive encounters between agents and U.S. citizens. Because a great deal of boundary enforcement happens in remote parts of the desert, documenting how agents do their job is difficult. In this paper, we highlight data from numerous interviews with agents, migrant...
