Household Archaeology of a Late Archaic Pit-house in Southern New England

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The focus of this paper is the Warner Site, a Late Archaic Pit-house in Southern New England. The research combines traditional and modern perspectives of household archaeology. Traditionally, archaeologists relied on spatial analysis of activity areas, and ethno-archaeological comparison. However, more recently their has been a concern for overcoming ethnocentric assumptions of the function, construction, and organization of households. This more progressive perspective is necessarily data driven, because it must allow for new and non-traditional analysis and interpretation. It also forces archaeologists to acknowledge interconnections among peoples and sites, and production of data at multiple scales.
