Landscapes and Lived Spaces: Preliminary Survey Of An 19th Century Enslaved and Emancipated Community At The North End Site (9MC81), Creighton Island, GA.

Summary

This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Tabby ruins along the marsh and bits of historic ceramic strewn across the surface of the North End Site (9MC81) on Creighton Island, GA, are among the only traces left of a once vibrant African American Postbellum and earlier enslaved Antebellum community. Combining the results of a systematic shovel test pit survey and excavations in 2018 and 2021, we explore the spatial organization of the antebellum and postbellum communities’ domestic space at the North End Site (9MC81). The preliminary results presented here provide important insights concerning the spatial organization of the communities lived spaces.
