This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The recovery of a padlock from a domestic site seems ordinary, offering mundane interpretations to a prosaic piece of material culture.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Ordinary ships such as merchant schooners—and most importantly the people involved in their lives—are often missing entirely from discussions and narratives of the 19th century. Their absence is a problem. Not just because it reveals an incompleteness in the record or a focus on specific tiers of society, which it does. But...

This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Historians have long recognized the centrality of Latin American colonial mining to the development of global economies.

Here, I present preliminary findings from...
