176-200 (406 Records)
Due to their ephemeral, intangible nature, affect and emotion are difficult to capture and interpret from the archaeological record. However, to be human, feel emotion, and interact with one’s environment is a common experience that connects people across space and time; therefore, presenting affect and emotion is a powerful means of connecting people to the past. This paper uses a 18th-19th c. plantation context to explore the importance of sense perception, materiality, and the landscape to...
Exploring the Layers and Elements at the Center of Jefferson’s Retreat Landscape (2018)
Over the past seven years, archaeologists have examined three landscape elements that are central to the design of Jefferson’s Poplar Forest retreat. These include the rows of paper mulberries that flanked the house; the clumps of ornamental trees and oval-shaped flower beds located on the northern side of the structure; and the paved circular road that brought carriages to the steps of Jefferson’s octagonal retreat. This paper will discuss how soil studies have provided significant insight into...

Farmer Priests: Capitalism, Slavery, and the Middle Atlantic Jesuit Mission (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Jesuit Missions, Plantations, and Industries" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Like French and Iberian Jesuits, English members of the Society of Jesus established plantations in North America to fund missions and educational institutions. It was "a fine poor man’s country," but the Society’s ten plantations never realized significant profits until the mid-nineteenth century. Evidence from St. Inigoes Plantation in...

Freedom Come: The Archaeology of Postemancipation Life in Dominica (2017)
Archaeological interest in postemancipation life on plantations has received significantly less attention than those dating before emancipation. The resulting neglect misses several opportunities to unveil the complexities of postemancipation social and economic life and the impact of full freedom on the material and spatial practices of formerly enslaved individuals. I show how both planters and free people reorganized their physical surroundings and what this reorganization can reveal about...
From Family Operation to Centralization: A History of St. Rosalie Plantation from the Postbellum Era through the Early Twentieth Century (2025)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Like many planters in the economically-ravaged postbellum South, Andrew Durnford’s family fell on hard times following the Civil War. Measures were taken to try to save their sugar plantation; however, following two crevasses and multiple U.S. Marshal’s Sales, St. Rosalie was seized and sold at public auction in 1874, ending the...
From Forest to Field: Over Three Centuries of Vegetation Change at Poplar Forest (2017)
A sealed context dating to the mid-17th century at Poplar Forest, Thomas Jefferson’s plantation and retreat in Bedford County, Virginia has provided an opportunity to examine aspects of the protohistoric environment prior to the introduction of large-scale European agriculture in the 18th and 19th centuries. Palynological analysis conducted on this context reveals ratios of arboreal to non-arboreal pollen as well as the presence or absence of disturbance indicators that provide a baseline for...
From Saint Domingue to Frederick, Maryland: Tracing Architectural Detail (2017)
Recent excavations at Monocacy National Battlefield in Frederick, Maryland, revealed slave quarters associated with L’Hermitage, an 18th-19th c. plantation. L’Hermitage was owned by the Vincendière family, who settled in Maryland after having abandoned their plantations in Saint Domingue (present-day Haiti) to escape increasingly urgent slave rebellions. A careful study of these dwellings provides an opportunity to illuminate two important aspects of the built environment. First, I will explore...

Gazing Upward: New Directions at Betty's Hope Plantation, Antigua, West Indies (2015)
Plantation archaeology in the Caribbean region has been grappling with the complexities of plantation life through studying asymmetrical power relationships, spatial organization, and other important avenues of research. As there is no one "size fits all," this provides an opportunity to explore new approaches and methodologies in plantation research. For my presentation, I propose that Betty’s Hope—a 300-year-old sugar estate located on the island of Antigua—serves as a laboratory to test new...
Give a Dog a Bone? The Use of the Louisiana Search and Rescue Dog Team (LaSAR) at St. Rosalie Plantation (2025)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Plantation in the Right-of-Way: Data Recovery at St. Rosalie Plantation, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In the search for unmarked historic cemeteries, search and rescue dogs have become an important non-invasive method of investigation. Prior to the Phase III Data Recovery at St. Rosalie Plantation (Site 16PL107), the Louisiana Search and Rescue Dog Team (LaSAR) examined...
The Global Legacy of Sugar Planting in Australia: Historical Archaeological Excavations of a South Sea Islander Dwelling in Ayr, Queensland (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sugar, its cultivation, production, trade, and consumption, is intricately linked to past and present global colonial landscapes. In Australia, its growth and manufacture throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries held strong and often overlooked associations with the American Civil War, Atlantic slave trade and abolition of...

Gullah-Geechee Landscapes on Ossabaw Island, Georgia (2013)
The North End Plantation on Ossabaw Island, Georgia (9CH1062) has been almost continually occupied since the 1760s. Although a large number of enslaved Africans (later Gullah-Geechee) resided there, the remains of three tabby duplexes are the only substantial remains associated with them. This paper summarizes the results of two field seasons of landscape reconstruction that were aimed at identifying the locations of additional non-tabby cabins, historic plantation roadways, and adjacent yard...
Guns on the Plantation: Situating the Use of Firearms by Enslaved Persons at Kingsley Plantation, Florida (2015)
Kingsley Plantation, in Duval County, Florida, is located on a tranquil island that has seen many dynamic eras in its past. Fort George Island’s largest slave owner was Zephaniah Kingsley, the slave trading Africaphile that owned the plantation in the early nineteenth century. Recent excavations of the slave quarters at Kingsley Plantation have revealed the presence of firearms of various types in every domestic context investigated. These weapons were of the most up-to-date technology...
