This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Forts in Comparative, Global, and Contemporary Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Imperial ambitions and the search for a Northwest Passage led French explorers deep into the North American continent to establish over 100 trading posts and fortified settlements from the St. Lawrence River valley to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Fort St. Joseph was among them; it was founded in the...

Archaeological excavations in Caribbean coast Honduras explored the site of Ticamaya, described in 16th-century Spanish documents as the seat of a leader of indigenous resistance. Yet despite testing confirmed deposits from the period covering initial conflict with the Spanish, roughly 1520-1536, these excavations produced no use of European goods until the late 18th century. Contemporary with Ticamaya, the site of Naco to the west hosted troops sent by Cortes, and at least one majolica vessel...

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the English Crown competed with other European imperial powers for control over the land, labor, and materials of the Caribbean. The English Crown came to view the Caribbean as the geographical hub within which it would be able to obtain key resources and to challenge the rapidly growing power of the Spanish Empire. One of the most contentious ports in the western Caribbean was New Port Royal harbor on Roatán Island, Honduras, because of its...

In the viceroyalty of Peru under Francisco Toledo, cultural and political organization represented a fusion of European and Andean ethos, ideology, and language. Using archaeological data and historical analysis, this paper explores the intermixture of the European colonial political structure and traditions with the Inkan quadripartite social organization and dualistic beliefs. The paper discusses the combination of two record-keeping methods during the Toledan order: the Inkan khipus, a...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Today the most populous island in the Caribbean, Hispaniola was the epicenter of 15th and 16th century contact between peoples of the Old and New World. From Columbus’ first landfall in 1492 to the middle of the 16th century, Hispaniola was the base and administration center for the entire Spanish Caribbean. The early maritime...

The people of Pensacola have long been proud of their connection with the 1559 Tristán de Luna expedition and to the earliest European multi-year settlement of the United States. The recent discovery of Luna’s colony site on land, together with the ongoing excavation of ships associated with his wrecked fleet, has stimulated renewed public interest and excitement in the community’s heritage.  Archaeologists with the University of West Florida and its(?)theFlorida Public Archaeology Network work...

The 1559-1561 expedition of Tristán de Luna was the largest and most well-financed Spanish attempt to colonize southeastern North America up to that time. Had it succeeded, New Spain would have expanded to include a settled terrestrial route from the northern Gulf of Mexico to the lower Atlantic coast.  While a hurricane left most of the fleet and the colony’s food stores on the bottom of Pensacola Bay just five weeks after arrival, the colonists nonetheless struggled to survive over the next...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Since the late sixteenth century, the fledgling colony of St. Augustine served as an anchor for the Spanish mission system that spread throughout the interior southeastern United States. At the start of the eighteenth century, the network of religious towns experienced conflict and destruction at the hands of the English and their...

Studies of ancient colonization in the Mediterranean have principally been concerned with assessing the "impact" of colonization: did the colonization processes of groups like the Greeks and Phoenicians make a significant impact on local native societies among whom they settled, and if so, in what ways? Important as such questions are, they have sometimes overlooked a more basic step: how do we actually measure the "impact of colonization" in the first place? This paper offers a response to that...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The first South Americans' coastal migration routes remain a central question to studying the settlement patterns of human colonizations worldwide. However, these early migrations likely occurred along a coastline that today is mostly submerged. Consequently, in countries like Peru, there is currently a shortage of coastal archaeological sites that date to...

This story of Forestville's beginnings and the subsequent arrival of the German colony of settlers in 1873 is drawn from many sources. Not the least of these were the reminiscences and observations of an old friend, Ferdinand Schaff, who is 93 years old at this writing. This account is an attempt to cover the village's most active period of growth, from 1871 to 1885. Fortunately, events of this period were well publicized in one really early county newspaper, The Lexington Jeffersonian.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Ventures and Native Voices: Legacies from the Spanish and Portuguese Empires", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the early 1700s, communities of Christianized Native Americans living in Spanish mission communities across the southeastern U.S. were being actively attacked by the British and their Native allies. By 1706, the chain of missions was reduced to only a handful of refugee settlements,...

During the colonisation of islands in the Pacific and Caribbean by agropastoral communities, a variety of proxies (e.g., material, genetic, zoogeographic) indicate substantial inter-island and inter-community contact. It has been suggested that this contact represents an adaptive response to intrinsic demographic fragility during the initial phases of island colonisation, and that this connectivity imperative faded in the aftermath of initial dispersal as overall population density increased....

Traditionally, the colonization of Spain's northern frontier is studied as a uniquely 16th through 18th century enterprise. This paper will describe how this process of expansionism was informed by existing indigenous trade networks that linked bands, tribes, chiefdoms and states into mutual systems of exchange extending from the mouth of the Colorado river to coastal Oaxaca. In so doing, the role of indigenous peoples of southern Mexico as both settlers and mediators between the Spanish Crown...

Archaeological investigation along the coastlines of the islands of the Western Pacific have documented the distinct deposits of human colonizers and their descendants. Recent research has indicated that the first colonists were marine foragers, but also directed their forays into the interiors of islands to collect reptiles, bats, and birds. The research presented here reveals how predictive modeling and directed survey can aid in the detection of post-colonization sites located in the...

Human impacts to Madagascar, through the introduction of non-native species, habitat modification and species extinctions, are thought to have begun in the prehistoric period. Understanding of these anthropogenic modifications to Madagascar’s ecosystems is, however, impossible without solid chronologies for human settlement and expansion across the island, which are currently lacking. Estimates of the period in which people first colonized Madagascar have varied considerably, and never more so...
