The Emergence and Development of South Carolina Lowcountry Studies
after South arrived at SCIAA, in 1972, Leland Ferguson began his own career there, finding in the analysis of colonoware ceramics a point of entry into the experiences of enslaved Africans along the South Carolina coast and their stewardship of rice culture, a principal source of the region's stupendous wealth. 2 Other archaeologists took on some of the broad research questions South and Ferguson pursued, but none perhaps as persistent, or with t…

Rappahannock Oral Tradition, John Smith's Map of Virginia, and Political Authority in the Algonquian Chesapeake
For more than a century, researchers have used the distribution of Indigenous Rappahannock River settlements shown on John Smith's 1608 map of Virginia to frame the river valley's Native communities as unwilling subjects of the Powhatan chiefdom to their south. The map depicts the majority of Native settlements on the river's north bank, a pattern interpreted as evidence that the Rappahannock communities physically distanced themselves as much as…

“We Can Fly No Farther”
Chapter 2 by Alex Flick and Julia King explores the relationship between memory, place, and the post-Contact dispossession of indigenous lands on Maryland’s western shore. Documentary, oral, and archaeological evidence reveal how the colonial dispossession of land and the accompanying displacement of Native people proceeded hand in hand with the removal and/or appropriation of the material signs of the indigenous past. Displaced people, however, …
Making Archaeological Collections Available for Research
Archaeological collections repositories have two principal aims: preserving collections while also making them accessible. This accessibility is critical for the growing number of researchers turning to collections to study the past. This article describes steps that repositories can take to enhance access to collections in their custody, based on the experience of the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory, the state's public archaeolog…
From shell to glass
This article examines over 7,500 beads from eight Native archaeological sites located in the lower Potomac River valley in order to understand how changes in bead assemblages between AD 1300 and 1712 expressed an ever-evolving Chesapeake cultural landscape. This analysis demonstrates clear differences in the types and distributions of beads from mortuary and domestic/nonmortuary contexts. Ossuary contexts contained the highest frequency of beads …

Comparative Colonialism and Collections-Based Archaeological Research
Legacy collections are an increasingly valued source of information for researchers interested in the study and interpretation of colonialism in the Chesapeake Bay region of North America. Through the reexamination of 34 archaeological collections ranging in date from 1500 through 1720, researchers, including the author, have been able to document interactions among Europeans, Africans, and indigenous people in this part of the early modern Atlan…

Household archaeology, identities and biographies
Sometime in the late 1670s, Charles Calvert, the third Lord Baltimore and proprietor of the Maryland colony in North America, made the decision to erect the colony's magazine adjacent to his family's plantation dwelling at Mattapany in Maryland. Clearly, Calvert was making a social and political statement about his power as proprietor, setting the magazine on the public approach to his large brick and timber house. But this decision also suggests…
The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology
The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology provides an overview of the international field of historical archaeology (c. AD 1500 to the present) through seventeen specially-commissioned essays from leading researchers in the field. The volume explores key themes in historical archaeology including documentary archaeology, the writing of historical archaeology, colonialism, capitalism, industrial archaeology, maritime archaeology, cultural …
How the Past Becomes A Place
This paper examines how certain landscapes were remade as places important in the collective memory in 19th-century America. Specifically, archaeological, documentary, and literary evidence are used to show how Susquehanna, a 19th-century tobacco and wheat farm in St. Mary's County, Maryland was reconfigured as a place important in the state's past. By imagining Susquehanna and the region in which it was located as a place in time, many upper and…
