‘Authenticity, Repurposed’: Mason Jars, Archaeology, and Contemporary Narratives (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kim Christensen.

From the satirical website The Onion to the venerable New York Times newspaper, mason jars are receiving attention due to their current resurgence in popularity for food preparation, décor, and do-it-yourself projects. These contemporary examinations of the mason jar’s popularity tend to contrast the frivolity of today’s use with a singular utilitarian historical view. In this paper, I examine the varied discourses that they have been placed within historically and by archaeologists in order to...

Between the dream and the conquest: settlement and daily life of the Portuguese in North Africa (15th-16th centuries) (2013)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Joana Bento Torres. Luís Carlos Serrão Gil. André P. S. D. Teixeira.

The Portuguese presence in North Africa was materialized through the occupation of cities and fortresses along the coast, especially during the 15th and the first half of the 16th century. Traditional historiography has stressed the limited contact these strongholds held with their surrounding territory, underlining their highly military nature.                                    In this paper we wish to re-evaluate this theory, mainly through the archaeological work we've been developing since...


Between the Mythic and the Material: Texas Exceptionalism and Early Austin History (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Noel Harris.

Popular histories portray the Republic of Texas capital city of Austin between 1839 and 1846 as a crude frontier town, characterized by Anglo-American heroism and material deprivation. By stressing these aspects of Republic-era life, such histories omit many facets of early Austin’s social history, including enslaved forced migration and individualism that diverge from this narrative. This research carefully examines extant objects, architecture, and primary source documents to suggest an...

Bottles at the Biry House: Consumption and Economic Choice in a Texas-Alsatian Household (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Sainz.

In 2014, students from Binghamton University excavated several historic features in the rear yard of a Texas-Alsatian homestead in Castroville, Texas.  This poster presents the analysis of the glass bottles found in Feature 7, a well built in the 19th century and filled in during the mid-20th century.  During this time, the well became a dumping ground for a range of historical materials discarded by later occupants of the house and other local residents, like the American Legion next door.  The...

Bringing It All Back Home: The Archaeology of Diasporic Homelands (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Stephen A. Brighton.

In the context of modern history, diaspora is traditionally defined as a reluctant scattering of a large number of people to two or more international locations.  Most studies in the social sciences and humanities have concentrated efforts towards understanding how new experiences and contacts have shaped diasporic groups once away from their homelands. In essence, most studies are structured by the culture continuity/cultural change dynamic in new places of settlement. The established focus of...

Building and Debating National Identity: Three Case Studies of the Ownership of Ancient Artifacts (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachael Aleshire. Olivia Navarro-Farr.

Artifacts are crucial to the understanding of past societies. Archaeologists are able to learn about the values and cultural practices through material remains left behind by ancient civilizations. Museums display artifacts not only to educate the general public, but to make modern nationalistic statements connecting the country in possession of material to the ancient civilization which created it. The critical point with most of these exhibitions is that many of the artifacts are not excavated...
