A Recreation To Great Persons: Bowling In Colonial Boston, Ann-Eliza Lewis
A Recreation To Great Persons: Bowling In Colonial Boston, Ann-Eliza Lewis
Northeast Historical Archaeology
In 1994 archaeologists working in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, recovered what turned out to be the oldest lawn bowling ball in the New World. This research note is the result of the unexpected public interest in this artifact. The lawn ball belonged to the household of Katherine Nanny Naylor, a wealthy resident of 17th-century Boston. The lawn ball became a starting point for a small research project on the history of bowling in the New World and Puritan attitudes towards recreation in general and bowling in particular. This note opens a discusion of the tension between the need to relax and …
Domestic Masonry Architecture In 17th-Century Virginia, David A. Brown
Domestic Masonry Architecture In 17th-Century Virginia, David A. Brown
Northeast Historical Archaeology
The focus of this study is to provide an easily accessible source of information on domestic masonry architecture in 17th-century Virginia. This includes buildings constructed entirely of brick or stone as well as framed structures, brick enders, and homes with brick-nogged walls. The few surviving examples of these buildings do not adequately represent the period and, until recently, literature pertaining to this subject has either been inaccurate or has concentrated far too heavily on a limited number of structures. Through research in the fields of history, historical archaeology, and architectural history, at least 24 structures have been found dating to …

Exploratory Pollen Analysis Of The Ditch Of The 1665 Turf Fort, Jamestown, Virginia, Gerald K. Kelso, Audrey J. Horning, Andrew C. Edwards, Marley R. Brown Iii, Martha W. Mccarthy
Northeast Historical Archaeology
Pollen analysis of subsoil, slopewash, episodic fill, plowzone, and archaeological backdirt deposits in a core from a ditch associated with the 1665 Turf (earthwork) Fort at Jamestown, Virginia, record bare, slightly weedy local conditions around 17th-century artisan dwellings on the Jamestown waterfront and register the Virginia forest in the background before construction of the fort. Goosefoot dominated the earthwork slope; close relatives of the goldenrods were initially the most prominent plants in the open-ditch period. Pollen percolation rates adjusted for plowing and applied to ragweed-type (Ambrosia-type) percentages suggest that cultivation over the ditch began ca. 1729. Cultural matrix depostition, slopewash, …
Historical Skeletal Remains From Dundas County, Ontario: A Cautionary Tale Concerning Individual Identification, Lynda Wood, Janet Young
Historical Skeletal Remains From Dundas County, Ontario: A Cautionary Tale Concerning Individual Identification, Lynda Wood, Janet Young
Northeast Historical Archaeology
A single burial dating to the historic period was unexpectedly discovered on a farm in rural Dundas County, Ontario. Based on a preliminary investigation, the remains were believed to be those of Margaret Ellen Bellway, an 8-year-old girl who lived on the property and who died in the year 1881. The objectives of this article are to demonstrate that establishing individual identification of historical remains is possible, to demonstrate the importance of exploring all relevant avenues of research prior to finalizing individual identification, and to demonstrate the means by which this is done. Skeletal analysis of the remains indicated a …
Worked Ballast Flint At Aptucxet, Barbara E. Luedtke
Worked Ballast Flint At Aptucxet, Barbara E. Luedtke
Northeast Historical Archaeology
The gunflint industry of western Europe represents an extraordinary revival of the art of flint-knapping, which had largely disappeared from the technological repertoire of the region after the Neolithic. During the classic period of flintlock weapons in the 19th and 19th centuries, gunflint production appears to have been performed primarily by specialists. Demand for gunflints began in the 17th century, however, especially in North America, and was sometimes met by the "do it yourself" efforts of non-specialists. An assemblage recently excavated in Bourne, Massachusetts provides an opportuntiy to study such efforts.
"In Delaware The Millennium Has Begun": 19th-Century Farmstead Archaeology And The Methodist Discipline, Michael D. Scholl
"In Delaware The Millennium Has Begun": 19th-Century Farmstead Archaeology And The Methodist Discipline, Michael D. Scholl
Northeast Historical Archaeology
By the beginning of the 19th century the Methodist movement had gained so many converts in the state of Delaware that Francis Asbury had likened it to the coming of the New Millenium. The growth of Methodism I the state was a powerful social force in rural 19th-century Delaware. Guidlines and behavioral rules were published annually in a series entitled the Discipline. The Methodist Discipline provides a contextual backdrop for understanding 19th-century farming families. This case study examines the Methodist farmer George W. Buchanan and his family who in the mid-part of the century established a farmstead in southern New …

Interpreting Social Organization At Industrial Sites: An Example From The Ohio Trap Rock Mine, David B. Landon
Interpreting Social Organization At Industrial Sites: An Example From The Ohio Trap Rock Mine, David B. Landon
Northeast Historical Archaeology
Historical archaeologists have frequently tried to interpret aspects of the social organization of production from artifacts at industrial sites. These studies have encompassed a variety of issues: the role of skilled immigrants, the effects of de-skilling work, and the ways workers resisted work discipline or used material culture to express their autonomy. Some recent studies protray the organization of production and the forces of industrialization as the overarching determinants of domestic assemblage pattering, while other studies emphasize factors such as household composition, household lifecycle, and the gender organization of labor. This paper reviews several studies of artifact assemblages from industrial …
Early Military Sites Archaeology In New York State: An Interview With Richard J. Koke, David R. Starbuck
Early Military Sites Archaeology In New York State: An Interview With Richard J. Koke, David R. Starbuck
Northeast Historical Archaeology
Military sites archaeology in New York State originated in the early 20th cnetury with the pioneering work of William Calver and Reginald Bolton, working through the auspices of The New York Historical Society. One of their youngest associates was Richard J. Koke who later assembled many of their articles into the seminal volume, History Written with Pick and Shovel. Koke was one of the best military sites archaeologists of his day and has a superb recollection of what it was like to conduct archaeology in the 1930s. This article presents some of Koke's memories, based on two interviews conducted with …
From The Warehouses To The Canal By Rail Ca. 1830: The Lachine Canal, Montreal, Quebec, Pauline Desjardins
From The Warehouses To The Canal By Rail Ca. 1830: The Lachine Canal, Montreal, Quebec, Pauline Desjardins
Northeast Historical Archaeology
During archaeological monitoring of the lower entrance of the Lachine Canal by the Corporation of the Old Port of Montreal, archaeologists obtained data spanning approximately 170 years of development in the area. Indeed, the original canal, built between 1821-1825, has seen many transformations in its dimensions and in the spatial organization of the adjacent installations. This article focuses on a particular finding related to the first period of the history of the canal: the remains of privately owned short wooden track lines used for transporting goods from the warehouses along Common Street to the canal during the years 1825 to …
Contributions Of Women To The Acquisition, Maintenance, And Discard Of Portable Estates, Kathleen L. Wheeler
Contributions Of Women To The Acquisition, Maintenance, And Discard Of Portable Estates, Kathleen L. Wheeler
Northeast Historical Archaeology
As we heighten our focus on the constituents of households, archaeologists are increasingly aware of the role females have to play in compiling and transmitting their portable estates. Women bring in dowries from their natal home, and they participate in choosing and buying household items such as teawares, tablewares, furnishings, and carpets. In Portsmouth, New Hampshire, several features have been discovered with substantial household inventories left behind as de facto refuse when a female head of household departs from the site. This paper explores the gendered nature of acquistion and abandonment behaviors at 19th-century urban sites to better reconstruct socioeconomic …
Who's Been Drinking On The Railroad? Archaeological Excavations At The Central Railroad Of New Jersey's Lakehurst Shops, Richard Veit, Paul W. Schopp
Who's Been Drinking On The Railroad? Archaeological Excavations At The Central Railroad Of New Jersey's Lakehurst Shops, Richard Veit, Paul W. Schopp
Northeast Historical Archaeology
Archaeological excavations at the former shops of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, in Lakehurst (28-Oc-138), uncovered several large bottle caches within a 19th-century railroad maintenance facility. These caches, situated in clandestine locations within the plant, apparently reflect a considerable amount of on-the-job alcohol consumption by railroad workers. This surprising discovery and its implications for understanding turn-of-the-century workplace culture are explored.
Seventeenth-Century Portuguese Faianca And Its Presence In Colonial America, Charlotte Wilcoxen
Seventeenth-Century Portuguese Faianca And Its Presence In Colonial America, Charlotte Wilcoxen
Northeast Historical Archaeology
Nineteenth- and 20th-century writers deprecated Portugal's 17th-century ceramics, and some American archaeologists have not recognized the quantity or quality of the remains of these on east coast American colonial sites, or learned to identify the sherds. Civil War in England in the 1640s deprived that country's colonies of critical economic support during those years; the colonists were forced to build ships and engage in their own trade with European countries. Colony by colony, this is examined; Sphardic Jewish merchants from Portugal living here at times promoted the trade, as well as American factors living in Portugal or its islands. The …
