The New Buffalo Commune of northern New Mexico was a countercultural mecca during the late 1960s and 70s, drawing in young folks from around the country who sought escape from the industrialism, capitalism, and militarism of mid-twentieth century American society. It was a community of those who were looking to return to lost...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Much of what we know archaeologically about the Reservation Period (1850s-present) on northern Plains village groups like the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara is found in government-sponsored salvage excavations conducted in the 1940s and 1950s. The resulting reports are primarily based on acculturative approaches, which assess the...

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. However, a lock found adjacent a slave cabin door is potentially more evocative, suggesting a negotiated social relationship, conditional privacy, and limited freedoms within enslavement. Beyond...

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 an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The chronology and legacy of Fisk’s metallic burial cases and the subsequent manufacturers of the 1850s has always been vexingly incomplete. A paucity of detailed primary sources and a significant omission in an early historical account, repeated in secondary sources, primarily Habenstein and Lamers (1955) and somewhat echoed by...

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 roots of American archaeology trace back to 19th century investigations of American Indian mounds and earthworks.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Slave and ivory trader Rashid bin Masud created the caravan trading post Kikole in southwestern Tanzania in the 1890s.

For example, he planted coastal...
