The discovery of Sir John Franklin's lost ship HMS Erebus by Parks Canada’s Underwater Archaeology Team and its partners in September 2014 promises long-waited answers to the great mystery of the Franklin expedition. The initial archaeological studies of the site in 2014-2015 clearly demonstrate a great potential for in-context, intact artifact group discoveries. This paper describes the artifacts raised so far and some others yet to be mapped and raised, in an effort to demonstrate the enormous...

This is an abstract from the "Exploring the Recent Past" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. WWII was a time of significant cultural upheaval in the United States. America’s participation in the war produced substantial changes to gender roles, consumer behavior, advertising, labor, children’s activities, and entertainment, and saw a swell in expressions of nationalism and patriotism. By analyzing a collection of WWII-era artifacts that includes...

Whanganui has a colourful history, from its beginnings as a planned New Zealand Company settlement in 1840, to a base for colonial warfare and then a hub for intensive farming of the surrounding hinterland by the turn of the twentieth century. The Maria Place cottages lay in the heart of this town, originally nestled between the two main stockades and subsequently becoming a part of the bustling central business district, and as such they have the potential to reveal a wealth of information...

This poster aims to extrapolate forager-wide trends in how, when, and from whom hunter-gatherer children learn to produce material culture. We use a meta-ethnographic approach, which allows for the systematic extraction, synthesis, and comparison of quantitative and qualitative publications. We extracted a total of eleven publications from psychology, cultural anthropology, and ethnoarchaeology, including studies on the Baka, Aka, San, Kaytetye, Gidra, Penan, Batek, Khanty, Cree and Sioux. Our...

Analysis of the church and graveyard memorials at Termonfeckin, Co. Louth reveals a complex web of identities within an overall community context of shared burial space. Each monument was commissioned independently by the family but in the context of what a local carver could produce and what was deemed appropriate and affordable in its community context. Families made a placemaking statement by erecting a memorial, defining the burial plot when most were not permanently marked. Issues of class,...

From 865, Viking raids on England intensified with the arrival of an army much larger than any previously known. This so-called 'Great Army' (micel here) raided northern and eastern England, spending the winter at a number of sites recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, but which, until recently, have remained archaeologically elusive. Recent fieldwork at a handful of these sites, some of which were first identified by metal detectorists, has now begun both to identify their precise locations...

The people of Viking Age Scandinavia shared a common culture and could as a group be regarded as Northmen or people from the North. It is clear, however, that contemporary Northmen recognised differences between, and divisions within, their own cultural and political sphere. In order to advance in our interpretation and understanding of the Northmen and their geographical expansion during the Viking Age, we need to recognise these differences, which they themselves were well aware of. The Viking...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The use of popular images containing people of color in colonial settings serve as a useful tool for archaeologists using widely circulated images like advertising for explaining or enhancing discussions regarding racial and social differences found in the historical record. However, as more than a supplement to archaeological discussion, these images can...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Returning to Colonial Williamsburg (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Department of Archaeology in collaboration with the Materials Analysis Laboratory at Colonial Williamsburg conducted paint analysis on fragments of early 18th century painted redware flower urns recovered from the home and garden of John Custis IV in Williamsburg, Virginia. Cross-section, scanning electron, and...

This paper examines how archaeological investigations at Betty’s Hope, a former English sugar plantation on the Caribbean island of Antigua, can encompass a variety of approaches in working with archaeological materials recovered from the site, as well as the site itself.  Betty’s Hope operated from 1651 until 1944, making it one of the oldest and most continuously operating plantations on the island. Its long history, combined with good preservation, provides an ideal laboratory for studying...

In the Maya lowlands, several polities oversaw the construction of long causeways that connected regional centers with smaller settlements. As infrastructure, such causeways have been shown to facilitate exchange of basic goods between people at different sites. Archaeologists also view these causeways as political statements that materialize the extent of a polity and emphasize hierarchical relations between settlements on the causeway. Recent research along the 18km long causeway between Uci...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. While piracy is a modern phenomenon as much as an ancient one, piratical theory has been relatively opaque until recent years. Smugglers, buccaneers, and freebooter's fluidity and capriciousness is not reflected in the black-and-white morality of a quintessential pirate. Using modern pirate theory, this paper looks at the...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Opening the Vault: What Collections Can Say About Jamestown’s Global Trade Network", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Jamestown, England’s first successful settlement in North America, was established in 1607 by the Virginia Company of London as an economic venture. Though the colony struggled to survive, let alone profit for the first several years, the site transformed from a precarious outpost into a vital...

Hand-carved ceramic discs excavated from historic-period sites across North America and the Caribbean suggest the widespread growth of gaming culture during the third quarter of the 18th century. From Spanish missions and French forts to villages of enslaved people across the British, French, and Spanish colonial domains, people fashioned discs from flat portions of ceramic vessels for use in a variety of games. We begin by exploring the production and use of hand-carved ceramic gaming discs of...

This is an abstract from the "Working on the 19th-Century" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper will look at the material culture of the kitchen in 19th-century Iceland through probate inventories and ceramic assemblages. It hypothesizes that changes in kitchen assemblages had an active role in the modernization process. Rather than simply being the effects of increased consumerism and global capitalism the things had an active influence on...

Labrador, an important crossroad for cultural and material goods in America, has known many social changes during the 18th century. The inhabitants of this vast and cold territory have changed their way of living during this period by transforming their winter houses, by adopting new objects and by changing their social organization. European and Inuits have lived side by side at this time, trading together. All these exchanges have created more than just a trade network. New objects and new...
