Recognizing Indigenous Persistence by Dating Extensive Low-Density Indigenous Occupations across the AD 1480-1630 Radiocarbon Plateau in Wellfleet, Massachusetts
Archaeologists have relied on the presence of European material on Indigenous New England sites as the main indicator that a site was occupied during the sixteenth or early seventeenth centuries-a span often characterized as the Contact period. The AD 1480-1630 span is particularly difficult to sequence because it lies on a radiocarbon calibration plateau. Here we report on a program of AMS dating from an Indigenous site on Great Island on Cape C…
Archeology on an Urban Scale
Ethnicity, Masculinity, and Lineage

Dwellings have been hailed as ‘arguably the single most important artefact for reconstructing past societies’ (Samson 1990, p. 2). Inspired by the persistent centrality of houses to heritage and ou

These are both sites where early nineteenth‐century women made history, mapping the political and military history of the American Revolution onto the domestic fabric of their homes by telling the stories of their recent ancestor…
