Douglas V. Armstrong, Mark L. Fleischman
Four burials were excavated from discrete house-yard compounds in an eighteenth
century African Jamaican slave settlement at Seville plantation. Though only
four in number, these individuals provide significant information on burial
practices and physical conditions within a clearly defined African Jamaican
community. The analysis of material remains illuminate living conditions and
social relatio... hiện toàn bộ
Nineteenth Century Gunflints from the Nepalese ArmoryInternational Journal of Historical Archaeology - Tập 23 - Trang 628-650 - 2019
John C. Whittaker, Anais Levin
A sample from a stockpile of gunflints discarded by the Nepalese military in the
early to middle 1800s shows that although Nepal obtained most of its munitions
from Britain, the situation was complex. The Nepalese rapidly learned to
manufacture their own guns, imitating or varying British patterns. However,
gunflints were a necessary component of flintlock firearms that were obtained by
most natio... hiện toàn bộ
Agricultural Extension Programs and Small Finds from Home Sites of Rural Black LeadersInternational Journal of Historical Archaeology - Tập 26 - Trang 885-907 - 2021
Rachel Morgan
Although historic stereotypes depict the South Carolina Sandhills as a backwoods
of poor, White families, demographic and archaeological data evidence a diverse
community. Small finds from three home sites connected to the Dunlap family
challenge poverty and race-based assumptions. The Dunlap family stood out in the
Sandhills as Black landowners and leaders in twentieth-century agricultural

Indigenous production of wild foods in the context of one such settlement
located at Weipa ... hiện toàn bộ
Padlocks as Negotiated Freedoms within EnslavementInternational Journal of Historical Archaeology - Tập 27 - Trang 898-952 - 2023
James M. Davidson
The archaeological recovery of a padlock from an eighteenth- or
nineteenth-acentury domestic site seems ordinary, offering mundane
interpretations for a prosaic piece of material culture. However, a lock found
in association with a slave cabin is more evocative, suggesting confinement, or
alternatively, a negotiated social relationship, conditional privacy, and
limited freedoms within enslavement.... hiện toàn bộ
Zooarchaeology of Mission Santa Clara de Asìs: Bone Fragmentation, Stew Production, and CommensalityInternational Journal of Historical Archaeology - Tập 26 - Trang 908-950 - 2021
Sarah J. Noe
Through the analysis of faunal remains from refuse features associated with the
Native Californian living quarters at Mission Santa Clara de Asìs, the article
examines Indigenous diet within this colonial mission settlement. In Alta
California, Native Californians from differing sociolinguistic groups were
relocated to Spanish missions, creating an ever shifting pluralistic society.
