Wives, sisters, daughters and nieces of captains lived at sea on merchant and whaling ships that sailed from New England during the 19th century. Their outer world may have expanded while voyaging to distant ports around the globe, but their physical world contracted severely. Spatial analysis of the rooms women lived in reveals the amount of space they inhabited within a ship. In 1856, Henrietta Deblois noted that she could not go forward to the fo’c’sle where the crew bunked. Seafaring women...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Creative and artistic works provided an important outlet for the 120,000 Japanese Americans confined during World War II. Many of these works incorporate depictions of the natural world. I will investigate the ways in which these depictions were influenced by the natural environment surrounding the camp established at Heart Mountain, and what those influences can tell us about how...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Revisiting Revolutionary America" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the summer of 1948, farmer Alfred Leone's melon patch yielded a most unusual crop, a treasure trove of colonial artifacts. Dredging the Delaware Ship channel to Philadelphia had opened the hull of a sunken ship and dredge spoil full of artifacts spewed across Leone's fields. Antiquarians and local historians descended on the site where...

Since the Colonial period, inhabitants of the Outer Banks of North Carolina processed right whales to augment their existence until the turn of the 20th century.  What began as drift-whale scavenging became organized hunts.  Each spring, the locals kept lookouts from high dunes and launched boats from shore in pursuit of whales.  The historical record indicates that they did so for over two centuries with moderate success.  Locating archaeological signatures along this coast is problematic due...

Hotel Ware is a highly durable, vitrified ceramic tableware introduced by American potters in the late nineteenth century. The ware became tremendously popular in the first half of the twentieth century, with production peaks in the late 1920s and again in the late 1940s. Hotel Ware was prized for its toughness and cost-effectiveness, and was the ware of choice in nearly every commercial and institutional setting of that period. Excavations at trash middens at the site of Riding Mountain Prison...

This is a forum/panel proposal presented at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In January 2020, at the SHA Annual Conference in Boston, over 80 attendees took the DAACS Material Culture Assessment. They were asked to anonymously identify the material, ware type, form, and decoration of 35 different artifacts.

Saint-Pierre, Martinique has been considered the Pompeii of the West Indies. The entire city is an archaeological site sealed by the 1902 Mount Pelée eruption. Its bay is also a shipwreck graveyard due to the disaster. Since the discovery of these shipwrecks in the 1970s, archaeological research beginning in the 1990s has demonstrated the archaeological potential of these sites. Recent research conducted on the port’s dump and the Guinguette Wreck, linked with the earlier chronology, shed light...
