The Archaeology of Multigenerational Social Reproduction: Economic Strategies and Material Life at the Gibbs Farm
The Gibbs farm in East Tennessee near Knoxville was operated between the 1790s and the early twentieth century. Historical details related to the farm appear to illustrate a typical middle-class Southern Appalachian farm. Upon closer scrutiny, the economic practices and material life at the farm illustrate how the Gibbs family effectively sustained four generations for over a century. As an example of social reproduction, aggressive commercial fa…
The Archaeology of North American Farmsteads
From the early colonial period to the close of World War II, life in North America was predominantly agrarian and rural. Archaeological exploration of farmsteads unveils a surprising quantity of data about rural life, consumption patterns, and migrations across the continent.Mark Groover offers both case studies and an overview of current trends in farmstead archaeology in this exciting new work. He also proposes a research design and makes numer…

Defining Historical Material Trends and Consumption Groups Through Artifact Density
Artifact density is a useful yet overlooked analysis variable in archaeology. Drawing upon a sample of sites in the middle Savannah River valley, artifact density is used to identify diachronic consumption trends between the 1700s and 1900s. Analysis results illustrate the development of consumerism over time in the study area indicated by increasing material deposition at archaeological sites. Artifact density is also used to define consumption …
Reconstructing Nineteenth-Century Midwest Foodways: Ceramic and Zooarchaeological Information from the Moore-Youse House and Huddleston Farmstead
Settled by families from the South and the Northeast, during the 1800s Indiana was a cultural crossroads. Ceramic and faunal data recovered from excavations conducted at the Moore-Youse house and Huddleston farmstead in east central Indiana provide a relevant archaeological example of midwestern foodways during the nineteenth century. Vertebrate faunal material from the two sites reveals early use of wild resources followed by greater reliance on…
Assessing Historical Archaeology Site Significance in Cultural Resource Management
Archaeologists conducting cultural resource management studies are often confronted with unique challenges in assessing the significance of historic archaeological sites. Archaeological sites dating to the recent past, due to temporal bias, are sometimes casually dismissed as possessing limited research significance or information value. Further, without the benefit of detailed documentary context, the significance of a site might be overlooked d…
The Archaeology of Rural Affluence and Landscape Change at the Clemens Farmstead
During the 1820s, James and Sophia Clemens helped to establish Longtown, one of several farming communities settled by free persons of color in the Midwest. By the 1850s, James and Sophia were operating a prosperous farm in the Longtown community. The community was located along the Indiana and Ohio state line in Darke County, Ohio. The Clemens farm was atypical compared to other farms in Longtown. James Clemens was an economic outlier in the com…

Identifying Consumption Differences between Social Groups
Defining material differences between social groups has been a prevalent research topic among historical archaeologists. Previous artifact studies devoted to this subject typically adopt a qualitative approach, in which the extent of expensive consumer goods, such as porcelain or transfer-printed tableware, is viewed as a reliable indicator of socioeconomic status. In this article, an alternative method of exploring material differences between s…
