Questions Worth Asking
This forum engages an emerging discourse around historical reckoning, truth, and reconciliation, asking how these frameworks inform American archaeology and its future. A growing number of archaeologists are now demanding systemic disciplinary transformations that directly address how white supremacy and settler colonialism enact Indigenous dispossession and erasure as well as anti-Blackness, gender discrimination, and ableism. This forum, featur…
Race Women” in the “White City”
A Congenial Environment in Which to Live”
The Phyllis Wheatley Home for Girls on Michigan Avenue was one of several Homes established by the Phyllis Wheatley Club (ca. 1908–1970) to provide safe lodging and employment support for African American women who were escaping the limitations of the South and hoping for opportunities in Chicago. Historical documents, archaeological findings, and architectural analyses have all contributed to our understanding of the types of mitigation resorted…
African American Archaeology, for Now
A focus on institutions frames this examination of the archaeology of African America. While initially emphasizing the institution of slavery and theories of Black difference, the field today has a much wider scope. Researchers engaged in this work critically examine past and present-day institutions. As such, this review also considers the place of African American archaeology in engaged scholarship, critical theory, and self-reflexive practice.…

“With sundry other sorts of small ware too tedious to mention”
This chapter examines the ceramics consumed by plantation residents, most of them enslaved, to understand their role in the consumer revolution. It examines petty consumerism in plantation settings of the Middle Atlantic and Southeast regions of the United States, using several lines of evidence that address ceramic production, marketing, distribution, and retailing, as well as use and discard. In particular, the chapter considers how access to a…
Where Tradition and Pragmatism Meet
Laboring under an Illusion
Social Archaeologies of Trade and Exchange
This volume focuses on the anthropological concept of trade as a fundamentally social activity concerned not only with the movement of goods, but also on the social context and consequences of that exchange. The distinguished contributors discuss trade on a range of scales-from a solitary confinement cell to trans-oceanic networks-in settings around the world and over the past 3000 years. They address themes such as exchange as a communicative ac…
Tobacco, Pipes, and Race in Colonial Virginia
Tobacco, Pipes, and Race in Colonial Virginia investigates the economic and social power that surrounded the production and use of tobacco pipes in colonial Virginia and the difficulty of correlating objects with cultural identities. A common artifact in colonial period sites, previous publications on this subject have focused on the decorations on the pipes or which ethnic group produced and used the pipes, “European,” “African,” or “Indian.” Th…
