Hearth and Home in the Indigenous Northeast
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 86th Annual Meeting, Online (2021)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Hearth and Home in the Indigenous Northeast" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
As ground-zero of domestic life, the house plays a central role in structuring, reproducing, and remaking society; it is both a mirror of social life and an agent for changing it. As such, an archaeological reckoning of household design, use, variability, and change over time is critical for a holistic understanding of the past. Papers in this symposium document domestic architecture and use, and variability in both in time and space as a springboard for understanding the Indigenous history of the broader Northeast.
