California: Post-1850s Consumption and Use Patterns in Negotiated Spaces
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2020
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "California: Post-1850s Consumption and Use Patterns in Negotiated Spaces," at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
California’s late-19th and 20th centuries are defined by the utilization of negotiated and peripheral spaces, whether the “space” be physically or socially constituted. By focusing on consumption and use patterns to discuss the complexities of survivance, this symposium will explore ways in which various communities negotiated space. Colleen Delaney focuses on the adaptive re-use of artifacts as a consumption strategy on Santa Rosa Island and the CSUCI property. Alaina Wibberly employs GIS spatial analysis to discuss settlement and land use patterns in the Mojave Desert. Alexis Francois’ paper focuses on healthcare consumption in Allensworth, California’s first self-governed Black town. Jacob Kasimoff will discuss the relocation of persecuted Russian Molokans’ to Boyle Heights’ "Russian flats".Lena Jaurequi will discuss negotiated patterns of identity at the Los Angeles/Depot Hotel, within the new state of California.Ann Stansell will discuss the transformation of relocated graveyards, within Los Angeles’ evolving social and physical landscape.
