Dutch Artifacts in the NYC Archaeological Repository: The Nan A. Rothschild Repository Center

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "More than Pots and Pipes: New Netherland and a World Made by Trade" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The New York City Archaeological Repository houses artifacts from sites excavated within the city under the auspices of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, including those from the New Netherland period and the early (ca. 1664-1700) English colonial town. Many of these sites were dug in the 1980s and it’s time for a second look at their artifacts, using 40+ years of accumulated knowledge, scholarship, and transatlantic communication. Two sites in particular, the Stadt Huys Block and 7 Hanover Square, have assemblages from the last quarter of the 17th century that show how Dutch and other New Yorkers retained their Dutch material culture under English political rule.
