Urban environments are places of change and discovery, where complex social and cultural boundaries are expressed and altered. As the transition to an industrial society occurred, with the associated intellectual advances and socio-economic developments, the roles and understanding of animals also changed. The 18th and 19th centuries see the increased exploitation and use of animals in physiological studies as scientific disciplines evolved from natural philosophy. These practices were often...

In Archaeology journals across the UK, the medieval castle is still being fought over. This war of interpretations, still largely centered on the military vs. non-military nature of castles, has been one cause among many for the current stagnation of castle studies. This paper will argue that retreading old research ground (and rehashing old arguments) is ultimately unproductive, and that far more interesting questions deserve to be asked of these ‘medieval’ buildings. A case will be made for a...

This paper focuses on emerging urban food culture in Tornio, a small town in Northern Finland, between AD 1621 and 1800. Tornio was founded in 1621 in Northern Finland, which at that time was a part of the Swedish kingdom. The population of the new urban centre was a mixture of local peasants and merchants from other towns of Sweden. Tornio was a dynamic boom town where people of different origins came together, forming a new urban community and a new urban food culture. Zooarchaeological...

In the early 1800s wealthy landowners were granted or purchased lands in the San Pasquale Valley, located 50 km from the provincial capital of Reggio Calabria in southern Calabria, Italy. Internal migration of farmworkers to establish commercial bergamot, olive, grape, and mulberry orchards in this valley created a large and thriving community of farmworker families in the valley who built the landowners’ villas, the overseers’ and farmworkers’ houses, and the farming infrastructure of wells,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper charts the historical background in the period from the Restoration of King Charles II to the death of Queen Anne as a brief context for these houses. We describe the main features of these timber-framed structures and on how their characteristic plan forms and features can be understood. We...

Excavation and recovery of the hull remains of a suspected 16th-century Iberian ship provided a rare opportunity to examine the nature of the forest products exploited and the methods of timber selection used in the ship’s construction. Analysis of recovered timbers combined a range of techniques including high magnification digital photographic capture of tree-ring sequences so that larger samples could be reburied with their parent timbers, 3D digital photogrammetry to capture spatial data for...

Manuscript plans contain a variety of data concerning the landscape changes associated with enclosure.  These can be revealed by map regression; a technique which has been used in many previous studies but usually without the aid of GIS.  This paper will outline a simple method for the comparison of plans using GIS, in which maps which are directly comparable are created, eliminating the problems of the different scales and conventions used in manuscript plans.  This has revealed, among other...

The coastal stretches along Portugal's Algarve are historically notorious for storms in which vessels were lost during return voyages from southern destinations. Archival documents have revealed that an Iberian work vessel, perhaps a little-known but ubiquitous ship type from the Age of Exploration known as the patacho, was wrecked during a storm in the Bay of Martinhal in 1608. As the construction and operation of this particular ship type is virtually unknown, a research project was designed...

The purpose of this paper is to stimulate discusion with in the maritime archaeological field. The discussion is focused on the situation with ih england (uk). Over the last 25 years we have moved away from an era of discovery and learing through sensible investigation of sites to a position where we largly do nothing. By using my personal experience as (licencee and direction of operations) over the last 25 years while working on the Stirling Castle, (a 3rd rate man of war) that adopting a...

The sensory experiences create emotions that are culturally constructed and constituted. In order to understand how individuals were mourned, it is important to examine the ritual of preparing the dead for burial. The ritual is packed with sensory experiences, for instance the smell of death and sight of the coffin. Through examining Post-Medieval Finnish funerary material (textiles, accessories, coffins), this paper will sense by sense demonstrate the experiences of those individuals that took...

Although integrated schooling has an increasingly high profile in the religiously divided society of Northern Ireland, an attempt was made during the 19th and early 20th centuries to provide secular education through the Irish National Schools system. In a survey of a small sample of former schools (n=8) from two case study areas in the north of Ireland, urban schools were found to be considerably larger, allowing for more differentiation in age sets and gender.  In addition, the urban schools...

The Warwick was extensively sampled for tree-ring analysis and species identification in the final field season in 2012, following promising results from analysis of a small number of samples taken in 2011. The results of dating and provenance analysis of the structural hull timbers will be presented and discussed in the context of contemporary North-Western European shipbuilding and forestry practice. Additional results from selective sampling of stave built containers (barrels) will also be...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in the Indian Ocean" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Indian Ocean with its mighty vastness and probably the largest number of diverse cultures settled across its littoral from South Africa to South China played a defining role in the first transcontinental early historic interfaces. The confluence of the three regional trade systems, based on silk, spices and aroma transformed the...
