Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2020

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "From Maryland’s Ancient [Seat] and Chief of Government: Papers in Honor of Henry M. Miller," at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Henry Miller is this year’s J. C. Harrington Award recipient. This session includes papers that reflect Dr. Miller’s tireless devotion to the ground-breaking archaeology of the colonial Chesapeake as expressed during his nearly half-century of work at Historic St. Mary’s City, the site of Maryland’s first capital. Colleagues and former students will reflect on Dr. Miller’s extensive experience and influence in the realms of historical archaeology, architecture, public history, and museums. Papers will also present current interdisciplinary research in the colonial Chesapeake, highlighting Dr. Miller’s career of cultivating disciplinary overlap in the pursuit of significant historical narratives.
