Below the glaze: Absorbed organic residue analysis of 18th- and 19th-century glazed refined earthenware
Bowls, Plates, and Teawares: Evaluating Ceramic Use at a Virginian Plantation through Use-Wear and Absorbed Residue Analyses
In the United States, fragments of ceramic bowls are commonly recovered from enslaved quartering sites in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, but they are relatively rare in Virginia. This article uses use-wear and absorbed residue analyses to explore why fewer bowls are found in Virginia and what this difference might say about enslaved foodways. Data for this study come from three late eighteenth- to mid-nineteenth-century sites at Belle Grov…
More Complicated Than Meal, Meat, and Molasses: Historicizing Enslaved Rations in the Southern United States
Archaeological Chemistry and Historical Archaeology: Reviewing 50 Years of Analyses on Sixteenth- to Twenty-First-Century Materials
Humanist Missteps, A Black Studies Critique of Posthumanist Archaeologies
Posthumanist archaeologies have attempted to move beyond humanist conceptions of the human for over a decade. But they have done so by primarily focusing on the ontological split between humans and non-human things. This only addresses one part of humanism, as Black studies scholars have long argued that it also equates humanity writ large with white, economically privileged, cis-gendered, heterosexual men, thereby excluding everyone else from th…
Why Teacups: Assessing Enslaved People’s Use of Teawares in Antebellum Virginia
Buying local: A Multi-Method Approach to Determining the Provenance of Locally Made Lead-Glazed Earthenwares
Cobalt, lead, and borax: Preliminary LA-ICP-MS and SEM-EDS analysis of Late-18th- to Mid-19th-century British refined earthenware glazes
Which town did it come from: Sourcing locally-made ceramics in the Mid-Atlantic
Historical archaeologists working in the Middle Atlantic rarely use archaeometric techniques to source ceramics. Yet, there are several important research questions we can ask if we sourced more of our ceramics. This article presents the findings from a neutron activation analysis study that sourced 100 presumably locally-made vessels recovered from an early to mid-19 th century enslaved quartering site in the northern Shenandoah Valley determine…
Contextualizing Canines, a Dog Burial, and Enslaved Life on a Virginia Plantation
In the early nineteenth century, members of one household of the enslaved community at Virginia's Montpelier plantation buried their dog near the duplex they called home. This action, on its own, unfortunately does not speak directly to the broader experiences of Africans or their descendants forced into American bondage, or the specific experiences of the women and men enslaved at Montpelier. However, by contextualizing dogs in the African Atlan…
