Creating the 'classless' author: Authorship and the Social Hierarchy, 1660-1800
This essay addresses the following question: ‘What is the social class of the author?’ Previous scholarship on the rise of modern authorship in the eighteenth century has generally answered this question in two different ways. According to some scholars, the ‘author’ emerged during this period in order to articulate and propagate ‘bourgeois’ ideology. According to other scholars, however, capitalist society increasingly excluded the literary arti…
Importing Clay for Local Pottery Production in the 4th Century b.c. at Tell el-Timai, Egypt
Archaeological evidence of ceramic production most commonly consists of locally procured raw materials. Excavations at Tell el-Timai in Lower Egypt recovered raw fine marl clay from two transport jars in the vicinity of pottery kilns dating to the 4th century b.c. Production wasters of small perfume bottles produced in the same fine marl clay were found inside the kilns. The marl clay inside the jars pointed to an origin outside of Lower Egypt. S…
A Hellenistic Household Ceramic Assemblage from Tell el-Timai (Thmuis), Egypt: A Contextual View
Large deposits of domestic pottery from primary contexts in Ptolemaic Lower Egypt are uncommon and seldom presented in their entirety. This article presents four primary deposits from the destruction level of a late third/early second-century structure at Tell el-Timai in the Nile Delta (ancient Thmuis). The architectural setting for the deposits is presented, followed by presentations of each deposit in its entirety, organized by functional clas…
Challenging the Historical Paradigm: Tories, Whigs, and Economic Writing, 1680–1714
This essay challenges the paradigm that depicts Whigs as progressive champions of free-market economics doing battle against the land-based and regressive economic policies of the Tories. Particularly in the period after the Glorious Revolution, Tory economic writers such as Charles Davenant, Nicholas Barbon, and Sir Dudley North argued for free trade and the relaxation of government tariffs, particularly as exercised against luxuries imported by…

Changing Places: The Archaeology of the Roman Convivium
Studies of the Roman convivium have traditionally focused on the literary, artistic, and architectural evidence of the event. As such, our understanding of Roman dining is biased toward an elite population that provides the bulk of such information. Missing from the discussion is a materials-based approach whereby the utensils of dining provide information on the mechanics of social meals. Here I present an analysis of 12 Roman table assemblages …

From "Nation"to "Race: The Origin of Racial Classification in Eighteenth- Century Thought
From "Nation" to "Race": The Origin of Racial Classification in Eighteenth-Century Thought Nicholas Hudson (bio) Did the modern concept of race exist in the eighteenth century? It is certain, at least, that no eighteenth-century dictionary defined "race" in the modern sense of a subdivision of the human species, identified by a shared appearance and other inherited traits. Samuel Johnson's definitions of "race" conformed with previous English dic…
