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 …

With An Eye On A Set Of New Eyes: Beasts Of The Southern Wild, Kette Thomas
With An Eye On A Set Of New Eyes: Beasts Of The Southern Wild, Kette Thomas
Journal of Religion & Film
This article focuses on how, Beasts of the Southern Wild, represents both divergence and transgression from paradigmatic structures that determine how certain visual representations are to be used. Specifically, the cinematic detours taken by the filmmakers, Lucy Alibar and Behn Zeitlin, do not lead to alien places for most viewers; on the contrary, ancient myths, legends, heroes and prehistoric references are recalled in total isolation from current social and political discourse. In this way, Beasts of the Southern Wild, effectively, highlights mythological structures operating in contemporary American society. Mircea Eliade, Roger Caillois and G.S. Kirk define mythology as a …

Learning Cast Up From The Mire: Archaeological Investigations Of Schoolhouses In The Northeastern United States, James G. Gibb, April M. Beisaw
Learning Cast Up From The Mire: Archaeological Investigations Of Schoolhouses In The Northeastern United States, James G. Gibb, April M. Beisaw
Northeast Historical Archaeology
Common schools, often comprising a single room with one or two teachers, taught millions of children from the 1850s through the 1930s. They have provided source material for objective historical writings on education and inspired subjective literature on the school experiences of teachers and students. But as prominent as one-room schools have been in the North American experience, and in the perceptions of rural 19th- and early 20th-century life, these ubiquitous structures have not found a place in the archaeological literature. This paper examines the archaeological potential of schoolhouse sites for providing useful information not otherwise available to historians, poets, …
Waiting For The Second Coming: The Canterbury Shakers, An Archaeological Perspective On Blacksmithing And Pipe Smoking, David R. Starbuck
Waiting For The Second Coming: The Canterbury Shakers, An Archaeological Perspective On Blacksmithing And Pipe Smoking, David R. Starbuck
Northeast Historical Archaeology
While the Shakers are primarily known for their religious beliefs, their lives have also reflected a fascination with technological innovation and a desire for self-sufficiency in certain manufactures. Over the past six years, excavations have been conducted at the Shaker Village in Canterbury, New Hampshire, into the remains of two Shaker blacksmith shops, one of which was accompanied by a waster dump filled with redware tobacco pipes, indicating that this had been a site of pipe manufacture. This was the very first evidence that the Canterbury Shakers had engaged in pipemaking, probably prior to the Shaker prohibition upon tobacco in …
Towards An Archaeology Of The Hudson River Ice Harvesting Industry, Wendy Elizabeth Harris, Arnold Pickman
Towards An Archaeology Of The Hudson River Ice Harvesting Industry, Wendy Elizabeth Harris, Arnold Pickman
Northeast Historical Archaeology
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, natural ice cut from the Hudson River provided the New York City metropolitan area with much of its supply. This article briefly examines the history and technology of this industry, and its impact on local workers, commuities, and landscapes. The documentary history and visible remains of three ice house sites are analyzed, with ice house technology viewed as an integrated system of production and transportation. Results suggest that archaeological examination of such sites can be used to study variations in ice industry technology and reveal features not mentioned in the documentary record. …

Illusion Or Ununderstood Reality: Spiritual Or Psychic Healing And Protection In Southern Madagascar, Henri Lucien Sandifer
Illusion Or Ununderstood Reality: Spiritual Or Psychic Healing And Protection In Southern Madagascar, Henri Lucien Sandifer
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Far from the hospital room and its doctor, the medicine and philosophies of Lakazy and its Ombiasa pertain to a domain largely untouched by western logic and science. Their practices appear to be effective and unique enough to have survived the advent of compelling new theological and scientific belief systems and the vastly different perspectives on community health and stability which these systems have brought to Madagascar. The prime examples of these new arrivals are Christianity and modern medicine, respectively. Within and without their sacred space, the mission of the true Ombiasa is to support their community and for this …

The Life Giving Stone: Ethnoarchaeology Of Maya Metates ‐ By Searcy, Michael T [Review Of The Book The Life-Giving Stone: Ethnoarchaeology Of Maya Metates, By M. T. Searcy], Jennifer P. Mathews
Sociology & Anthropology Faculty Research
This volume attempts to get at the interpretations of the archaeological record from the back-end by studying the modern Maya metate life cycle, including procurement, production, acquisition, use and discard. The author spent two years in Guatemala conducting ethnographic research with metate producers and users in three Maya communities. It is through this rich research that he greatly expands our understanding of metates by providing background of their complexity through several avenues. For example, he documents contemporary gifting traditions, noting that families still give metates as wedding gifts to couples, even as their use decreases with the presence of electric …

The Following Sea: Cultural Perceptions And Knowledge On Traditional Sailing In Sāmoa, Connor Olin Ventling
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Traditional Polynesian voyaging techniques, which rely solely on the surrounding natural environment, have been undergoing a revival in the past 50 years. This study examines the Aiga Folau o Sāmoa, or the Sāmoa Voyaging Society, a modern entity which accurately undertakes traditional sailings around the world, and the cultural perceptions and knowledge on traditional voyaging lore and techniques in Sāmoa. Research efforts included primary interviews, visits, participant observation, as well as secondary sources. The study investigated not only how traditional sailing techniques enabled a watercraft to be navigated accurately over the open sea but also current cultural knowledge and perceptions …
