This is an abstract from the "Thinking with, through, and against Archaeology’s Politics of Knowledge" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Social historians demonstrate the historical contingency of sectarianism, which may be defined as a process and discourse that entwines religious sects and identities with political ones, on the ground and in state arrangements (Makdisi 2000). Despite this contingency, academic, government, and public circles...

In 2015, Brockington and Associates conducted Phase III Data Recovery at a middle-nineteenth century field slave settlement within the Colonel’s Island Plantation in Glynn County, Georgia. Excavations at five slave dwelling footprints showed that all exhibited nearly identical dimensions and construction techniques. Dwellings appeared to be double-pen wood frame with central chimneys and wooden floors. Rather than set off the ground by wood or brick supports, each dwelling was marked by a...

This is an abstract from the "Material Aspects of Global Conflict" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper addresses a fundamental challenge in accounting for global conflicts in the historical record.

The “global”...
