Local-scale turnpike roads in nineteenth-century Kentucky
The Nineteenth-Century Evolution of Local-Scale Roads in Kentucky's Bluegrass
In the nineteenth century, local‐scale roads in central Kentucky were built subject to local knowledge and cultural tradition but within the context of legal authority and folk‐ or science‐based engineering precepts. This study demonstrates how legal and engineering standards‐though conceived as transcendent and objective‐were in fact contingent on the region's physical attributes as well as its cultural traditions and character. Thus local road …
The Pursuit of Freedom
With the abolition of slavery and the close of the Civil War, African Americans throughout the South faced many challenges as they struggled to adjust to a new social order. Kinkeadtown was an outcome of a housing strategy that was devised to accommodate a growing urban black population. The establishment of black neighborhoods in rural and urban settings represented a significant change in local cultural geography and embodied the struggle for s…

Archaeological Investigations into the Prehistory of the Middle Cumberland River Valley
The Hurricane Branch Site may be characterized as a multi-component site which has been sporadically visited by Archaic cultural groups, but most intensively occupied in the Middle Woodland and briefly in the late prehistoric period. At this site, the Archaic affiliations tend to be dominated by southerly influences. Woodland affiliations continue to be southerly in nature with strong influences from the McFarland/Owl Hollow complexes of the Uppe…
A Petrographic Analysis Of Late Woodland Ceramics From The Sperry Site, Jackson County, Missouri
A sample of 11 sherds from the Late Woodland component of the Sperry Site in Jackson County, Missouri was selected for petrographic analysis. The findings indicate that sherds as well as granite particles, and possibly limestone and sand served as tempering agents. It is suggested that prehistoric potters may have been utilizing till clays (available locally) which contain naturally occurring granitic particles and further tempering the clay with…
