Early Oneida County History
- The political history of Oneida County began with its erection from Herkimer on March 15, 1798. This garden spot of the upper Mohawk Valley had been devastated and almost depopulated by the Revolutionary War. Sullivan's campaign had chastised the Indians but had also laid waste much of the country. The gallant defense oI Fort Stanwix against St. Leger, the battle of Oriskany, where St. Leger's forces were prevented from joining those of Burgoyne, made possible the victory oI Saratoga.
Cressy, in "Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World," says concerning the battle of Saratoga and the part Oriskany played, that, "with a successful completion of Burgoyne's plan, the independence declared in 1776 would have been extinguished -- the defeat and capture of Burgoyne's army were made possible by the battles of the Oriskany and Bennington."
The section, now comprised in, Oneida County, had been settled by Germans of the Palatinate and Puritans from the east, but at the end of the war the region was deserted and was reverting to the wilderness. The coming of peace brought about a return of a Iew of the former settlers, joined by others who had never seen this land. Hugh White located in Whitestown in the summer of 1784. A few had settled at Deerfield and Fort Stanwix about the same year. But as late as 1787, according to Pomroy Jones, there were at Utica (Fort Schuyler) three houses, at Whitesboro seven, three at Oriskany, four at Rome (Fort Stanwix), three at Westmoreland. It is evident, however, that there was quite an inflow of settlers about this time, for in 1800 Utica had seventy buildings and Rome fifty. In 1790, when Herkimer County including Oneida, was formed from Montgomery, a census found 6,891 inhabitants in the whole of the Upper Mohawk section.
The title to the lands which now comprise Oneida County were secured from the Indians in 1790. Governor Clinton and some of the personages of the State met the prominent chiefs of the Iroquois in what is known as "The Great Council," at Fort Stanwix in 1788, which resulted in the ceding to the whites of the whole of the Indian territory except the Oneida reservation. This treaty was not confirmed until June 16, 1790.
The county on its erection in 1798 was very large. In 1802 St. Lawrence was taken from it; three years later Jefferson and Lewis were erected Irom it; in 1816 the county of Oswego was formed from Oneida and Onondaga. But even these removals leaves the county with an area of 1,215 square miles. It is bounded on the north by Oswego and Lewis counties; on the east by Herkimer County; on the south by Madison and Otsego; and on the west by Madison and Oswego. Through the county runs the Mohawk with many of its tributaries. The valley of this river is one of the most fertile in this country; few districts can grow such a variety of products. In past ages the drainage of the region was towards the Great Lakes, but when the mighty glaciers had gouged their way south and were returning to the frozen north from whence they came, they left debris which dammed the upper outlet to this valley and a new river system made its way to the southeast. This change in topography was responsible for much of the beauty, water power and fertility of this whole section, of which Oneida County has so choice a part.
While the greatest natural resource of this area has been the fertile soil, its first great industry was lumbering, for it was a heavily forested territory bordering on the Adirondacks. Hinckley is now the main timber cutting town, and makes all manner oI wood products, including pulp and paper. Minerals have played but a small part. Iron was mined and forged as early as 1797 around Clinton. Ore was shipped by canal to Pennsylvania in 1840. It is relatively an unused resource. But in a report made in 1907, on the State deposits of iron, attention was drawn to the immense amounts of ore which indicated that "New York might easily become the leading iron State in the Union." Oneida lies in one of the heavier ore sections and may yet become the center of a great iron industry. It is said the ore can be more cheaply mined here than in any other part of the State. Since 1910 limestone has been quarried on a large scale in the town of Trenton, the most of which is used for road building. Glass sand was one of the early discoveries,, and the first large manufactory of the county was a glass factory organized in 1809 with a capital of $100,000, at Verona, and continued until 1836. The year following an even larger factory began operations making crown glass at Utica. The discovery of natural gas in Pennsylvania brought about different and cheaper methods of making this commodity and glass is no longer one of the products oI Oneida.
The large areas of tillable soil uncovered by the cutting of the forests encouraged the first and most continuous development of the county. Conditions were found to be suited for nearly all general and many special crops. It is a boast, that everything, not of a semi-tropical nature, can be grown in some part of Oneida. The early Germans were trained stock breeders and dairymen, so it was natural that dairying should be one of the first agricultural interests to come to the front. The growth of all this district as a seat of manufacturing gave a ready market for milk products and has kept the production of milk in the first place. Sheep were brought in by some of the first settlers after the Revolution, and the first mill in New York State for weaving wool was started in Whitestown (Whitesboro) in 1808.

Most of my background has been in hospitality. I spent the first 15 years of my working life in restaurants (the front of the house). When I married my husband Shawn and moved to Australia, I wanted to take a break from hospitality. He really inspired me to go out and try to work for myself. My first business was a small vintage retail shop in Melbourne, Australia. I loved it, however, after a couple years I missed the connection I had to people in hospitality, so with Shawn on board we decided to shift gears, move back to the States, and fulfill a long-time dream I had of opening up a proper bed and breakfast. In the intermediate, I took up a position at Soho House Chicago in the hotel which gave me invaluable experience understanding guests' needs and expectations in the travel industry. It's been a constant learning curve for us, but the Publishing House B&B is close to celebrating its first year on June 1st.
What do you love about your work?
Hospitality often has instant results from the first point of contact. If you're successful, it's positive, however if it isn't, usually you have the opportunity to turn it around to make it right again. I love getting immediate results from my job; it is gratifying to see people enjoying my home and feeling connected to the experience.
Tell us about an experience when you learned the importance of women supporting other women
Part of the reason I came back to Chicago after living overseas was the great and supportive circle of women I met when I lived here previously. It was the first place in my adult life where I had the chance to establish true, genuine female relationships. Since the beginning of our project, we've been surrounded by women in business. Our architects were a female duo, Kara Boyd and Krista Petkovsek, and our interior design firm Siren Betty was an all-woman design team run by one of my good friends, Nicole Alexander. This whole experience has been defined by many of our partnerships with women. It's been really rewarding as a woman in business.
What does balance mean to you?
I haven't had a chance to figure out what that is exactly. However, I know it is something I have to define. When your home is your business it is so hard to take time for yourself. Even when you are "off" you are still on. It's a lifestyle choice – one that Shawn and I are working toward being able to turn off when we have free time. It's our goal for this year to finally find a better work/life balance.
What drives you to success?
Happiness. Everyday, along with my husband and everyone else involved, I wake up doing something I created. I am grateful I can be passionate about what I do, and I am fortunate to be fulfilling a dream of mine. My success is in other people's happiness when they stay at the B&B we've created.
What is your favorite thing about Chicago?
I love that Chicago is such an approachable city. Everything from the people, to the quality of life, to the accessibility of the arts and entertainment. It's also centrally located and easy to get from coast to coast. The Midwest vibe is in a big city, but it's evolving and growing still. I think Chicago often gets overlooked after New York, California and Miami by my overseas friends; when they arrive they are always blown away. I have never felt lonely in this city, and that says a lot to me.
Name three women you are inspired by
I'm inspired by my mother who has always been in hospitality. She is the perfect entertainer. I'm also inspired by every mother in the world. Shawn and I don't have children, however, the sheer exhaustion from opening the B&B for the first six months everyday, all day, gave me a deeper respect for all that mothers do. Nicole Alexander, founder of Siren Betty Design, is another inspiration of mine. She is a wife, a mother of two, and has her own creative career. She's definitely not the first person do it, but she seemingly handles it with ease. Her ability to delegate responsibility and to have built up trust in a small team of reliable women has let her be the best she can be in all her roles.
What is the best advice you've ever been given?
It was a part of Shawn's proposal to me – granted it was only after we had known each other for five weeks! He said, "What's the worst that could happen? It doesn't work out and you go home (back to the USA) or you give it chance and live happily ever after." This year will be our 10 year anniversary.

Hey folks, it's been a week or more since I posted anything so here's the update. Mom and Dave dropped in last weekend for a quick visit and I couldn't have been happier to have family around again. After a hike and a tour of my new town they left for the Tetons. They took a few photos so go bug 'em to see, they would love to show them I'm sure. Thanks to everyone for all the dishes and utensils, they have been heavily used already!
Last week, after four days of effort, heading up to Sinks Canyon after and sometimes before work, I sent Blue Moon 5.12a. Almost double the height (70ft.) of the last 5.12 I sent (40ft.), and with a good deal of time and energy invested, this is the proudest route I've ever climbed. Since then I have begun working on two new projects, one at Wild Iris and the other at Sinks Canyon; both are kicking my butt! Hopefully since I've been breaking my camera out more lately I will have some visuals to share soon.
This past weekend I was encouraged to spend some time in the Wind River Mt. range since they will soon be closed off with ludicrous amounts of snow. After work Saturday I drove two hours to the trail head and spent the night in the back of my truck. To my surprise I woke to the sight of frost covering my entire camper...it was 25degrees F. I got on the trail and soon warmed right up with the sun, changing from pants and a wool shirt to shorts and no shirt...mountain weather is weired. The approach hike was a pleasantly flat 6 miles with another 2 up jackass pass for the view of a life time:
All in all the hike was 16 miles witch made for a very happy return to the parking lot where a bottle of ibuprofen was waiting on my dash.
The adventures haven't stopped multiplying since I stepped out the door back home in TN and I can't wait to see where they will take me. I love you all and can't wait to see you in December. Have fun and don't take yourselves too seriously!

Entering the New Year with More Money!
Local pawnbrokers like the Gold Standard in New York exchange cash for valuables like watches, rings, jewelry, electronics and guns.
by Claire Simon Sunday, January 02, 2011
Local pawnbrokers like the Gold Standard in New York exchange cash for valuables like watches, rings, jewelry, electronics and guns.
The best part about using pawns is that you can pawn your favorite ring and know its not the last time youll see it. Thats because the pawn is temporary and at the end of the term, you can pick you item back up.
Suppose you need a loan. A pawnbroker makes loans on personal property left as collateral. You can essentially borrow money on that necklace in the drawer that you no longer wear. You can even borrow money on tools, household items like toasters and television, musical instruments and just about anything of value in your home.
Typically, pawn loans average between $70 and $100 but they can be much smaller or much higher depending on what is offered as collateral. The loan is usually for 30 days and interest rates vary with the amount of the loan. You can either sell items to the pawnbroker or take a loan out against them.
Why should anyone use a pawnshop?
Pawnshops are quick and convenient and come with a lot less hassle than borrowing money from a bank. The amount customers get is a percent of the value the pawn show can sell the item for.
If a customer defaults by not paying back the loan, the item becomes the property of the pawnshop and the shop has the right to resell it. On average, about 70-80 percent of loans are repaid. In fact, pawnshops have many repeat customers.
To learn more about how to sell and trade with pawnshops, visit http://www.nygoldchasers.com, or The Gold Standard of Forest Hills at 70-58 Austin Street, Forest Hills, NY 11375

Taliban dismisses claim of killing Badghis woman
Taliban dismisses claim of killing Badghis woman
QALA-I-NAW (Pajhwok): The Taliban have shot dead an 18-year-old girl in the Aab-i-Kamari district of northwestern Badghis province for being married to two men at a time, a local public representative said on Monday. However, Taliban rejected the claim.
Mohammad Nasir Nazari, the provincial council head, told Pajhwok Afghan News the young woman was gunned down in Dazingi village Sunday evening. Aziza was divorced by her first husband, who has been in Iran for work.
"Her former husband authorised one of his relatives here to divorce Aziza," he said. Later on, Aziza tied the knot with another man, with whom she lived happily. Upon his return from Iran a few days earlier, her first husband denied divorcing her.
He expressed the desire to continue living with her wife, an issue that became town talk in a matter of days. He referred the matter to Mullah Esmat, Taliban's shadow district chief, who ordered Aziza execution by shooting.
Zahir Bahand, the governor's spokesman, confirmed the woman's killing by Taliban. However, he did not provide further information.
The Taliban denied the alleged killing of a woman. The group's spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid acknowledged that the case was referred to them and the Taliban sent the woman back to his father's home to bring the evidence of her divorce.
Mujahid said two days back, the woman's first husband along with two other armed men forced the way into the slain woman home and killed her. He said Taliban held the murderer and two other men in connection with the killing of woman.

WALWORTH COUNTY SUNDAY -- Missing summer fun like camping, hiking and zip-lining?
Don't let winter stop you.
Yes, there are plenty of outdoor activities for the season, like skiing, sledding and skating. But what if you want to do something that feels a little more like July when it's January? You'd be surprised at what's available:
Lake Geneva firefighters rescued a dog trapped in a burning van as they battled a fire in a Wal-Mart parking lot Wednesday afternoon. The fire caused damage to at least five vehicles, according to news releases from the Lake Geneva police and fire departments.
According to a release, emergency responders were dispatched at 12:56 p.m. Jan. 18, to a car fire in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart at 201 N. Edwards Blvd. in Lake Geneva.
Crews found a fire engulfing two vehicles and used foam and dry chemicals to battle the blaze, which spread to three adjoining cars.
Firefighters entered a burning van to rescue a trapped dog. Crew members resuscitated the animal and transported it to the Lake Geneva Animal Hospital for treatment.
No other injuries were reported.
"This was a serious and stubborn fire. Our crews worked hard to prevent further loss. We're glad the dog was rescued and that no one was injured," Lake Geneva Fire Chief John Peter said.
The fire's cause and origin remain under investigation. Criminal activity is not suspected at this time, according to a release.
Two vehicles were total losses and one sustained minor damage.
A woman was seriously injured and a man arrested Monday after a methamphetamine cook ignited at a Lake Geneva hotel, according to a news release from the Lake Geneva Police Department.
Literature Lady Chris Brookes will portray Lady Anne Bacon in her program "An Elizabethan Experience" at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17, at the Lake Geneva Public Library.
During her costumed performance, Brookes will capture the essence of what it was like to be a Renaissance courtier and will bring to life the times of William Shakespeare and his queen, 400 years after his death.
The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Lake Geneva Public Library. Brookes will sell her DVD "Introduction to the Elizabethan Age" after her program, donating part of the proceeds to the Friends.
From the royal schoolroom to the formal presence chamber, Lady Bacon educated her son, Francis Bacon, and traveled with Queen Elizabeth.
In her portrayal of Lady Bacon, Brookes will take her audience back in time to the 12-day Yuletide celebrations at Greenwich Palace, which have just concluded.
The courtiers are flushed with the spirit of masking and mumming, feasting and frivolity. The debut of Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night" drew the festivities to a close.
Lady Bacon will share some of the lines destined to become known the world over: "If music be the food of love, play on!"
As the Literature Lady, Brookes owns more costumes than clothes in order to bring history and literature to life for her re-creations of figures from a variety of time periods, including the Dark Ages, the Renaissance, Victorian times and the 1860s to the 1960s.
Her love of performing started in kindergarten when she played the Troll in "Three Billy Goats Gruff." Since then, she has performed as Lady Bacon at the Bristol Renaissance Faire and has played a variety of characters with several community theater companies.
After retiring from classroom teaching, Brookes, a Lake Geneva native, added performing, presenting and traveling to her repertoire. Currently she offers adult travel classes for graduate credit through Tools for Learning and regularly teaches for Road Scholar, a division of Elderhostel Inc. Brookes is a member of the Wisconsin Humanities Council.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free program.

WALWORTH COUNTY SUNDAY -- It's 2017, and people don't gather around the water cooler anymore to talk about what's going on in their communities.
They gather around their smartphones to comment on Facebook posts.
The technology may be changing, but good local stories always generate a buzz, whether it's a 20-year-old Sharon woman who overcame life-threatening odds or 19th century shipwrecks as close as the waters of Geneva Lake. As we look back on the year just past, we review five of the stories that really got readers talking in 2016:
LAKE GENEVA -- A Lake Geneva man died early Saturday after the car he was driving lost control and crashed into a tree.
Joseph Ahlgren, 22, of Lake Geneva was driving south in the 800 block of South Lakeshore Drive in his 2008 Nissan shortly after 2 a.m. Nov. 26, 2016, when he crashed, according to a news release from Lake Geneva Police Chief Michael S. Rasmussen.
LAKE GENEVA -- The resident of a Lake Geneva home escaped injury Saturday night after noticing smoke coming from the walls around their fire place.
Lake Geneva firefighters responded to the call at 11:11 p.m. Nov. 19, 2016 and found fire in the area of the fireplace chimney and ceiling of the single family home at 1113 Madison St.
The resident, who had exited the home, called 911 after noticing light smoke and the wall above the fireplace turning brown, according to a fire department news release.
Fire crews quickly knocked down the fire and conducted a primary search. Truck crews ventilated the roof and assisted with overhaul and salvage.
The living room and fireplace received extensive damage.
The cause and origin are under investigation.
Crews cleared the scene at 1:10 am.
"Our crews worked hard and did a great job, containing the fire and preventing further loss. We are grateful there were no injuries, since nighttime fires can be very dangerous for sleeping residents. We encourage everyone to have fireplace chimneys cleaned and inspected regularly, as well as having working smoke detectors," Lake Geneva Fire Chief Chief John Peters was quoted as saying in the news release.
WALWORTH COUNTY TODAY -- Black Point Estate is partnering with Horticultural Hall once again on their popular winter lecture series, Veranda Views from the Hall. Kicking off the series this year is a program by Wisconsin author and storyteller Rochelle Pennington on the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald .
No other Great Lakes shipwreck is more well-known than the Edmund Fitzgerald, which disappeared into a stormy Lake Superior on Nov. 10, 1975, when wind gusts peaked at nearly 100 miles per hour and waves reached the height of three-story buildings. The Edmund Fitzgerald remains the largest shipwreck on the Great Lakes.
Pennington delves into the various theories and opposing views of dive detectives who are still trying to solve the mystery of what led to the demise of the 29-man crew.
Audience members will be led from the launch of the ship to its final radio broadcasts, and from the Fitz's discovery on Superior's bottom to the raising of artifacts from its watery grave.
This program also includes a complete circle tour of Lake Superior's extraordinary shorelines.
Pennington is an award-winning newspaper columnist and bestselling author of ten books including "Highlighted in Yellow" co-authored with H. Jackson Brown, "The Historic Christmas Tree Ship," "An Old-Fashioned Christmas," and more. Her work has been included in multiple bestselling series over the past two decades.
"Rochelle is both a lively storyteller and an entertaining lecturer so we are thrilled to bring her back to the Lake Geneva area," Black Point Director David Desimone was quoted as saying in a news release.. "Last year's program on maritime archeology drew over 150 people and we expect a similar turn out for this program on the fascinating story of the Fitzgerald."
Additional programs in this year's series include Doll Play, A History of Doll Houses with Wisconsin Historical Society curator Leslie Bellais; Wisconsin Supper Clubs with author Mary Bergin and filmmaker Holly Deruter; Pabst: The Man and The Mansion with Pabst Mansion executive director John C. Eastberg and The Impact of World War One on Milwaukee with Milwaukee County Historical Society archivist, Kevin Abing. More information about each event will be released as the program date approaches.
When: 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10, 2016
Cost: $5. Reservations can be made by calling Black Point Estate at 262-248-1888.
Where: Horticultural Hall, 330 Broad Street, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin 53147

WALWORTH COUNTY SUNDAY -- The plays taking center stage on Walworth County high schools next month showcase some wonderful theater, with several presenting familiar stories given a new twist.
Big Foot High School
Audience members will see a familiar fairy tale turned on its head with "The Cinderella Complex" at the newly remodeled auditorium at Big Foot High School, said director Rachel Wenndt.
WALWORTH COUNTY SUNDAY -- In Wisconsin, 42 percent of the state's households have adults who go to work every day but aren't sure they'll be able to put dinner on the table tonight for their families, pay the electric bill this month or buy prescription drugs to manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure.
The findings are the result of a United Way of Wisconsin report released in September on the Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, or ALICE. Often referred to as the working poor, these are people who don't fall under the poverty level but can't afford basic necessities.

Since we still get a lot of hits and questions regarding how he is doing I figured I should share this story from last week on his plans for the future. I'm guessing too much controversy has happened between Michigan and Dorsey for Ann Arbor to be a landing spot; but based on his story this is something worth to keep an eye on.
Via Scout.com
Grand Rapids Community College (Mich.) defensive back Demar Dorsey, a former four-star high school recruit, talks about his season to date and his plans for recruiting.
The fans in the stands at Houseman Field (Grand Rapids, Michigan) largely are unaware of Demar Dorsey's story. How he was a big time recruit wanted by the nation's best out of high school. How, at one time, he was committed to Florida, then he switched to Michigan. Ultimately, he ended up at Grand Rapids Community College, where he was initially viewed as a reclamation project for the coaching staff.No, most of the Raider supporters who turn out aren't aware of any of that, all they know is that number four, "that Florida kid," as he is referred to, is entertaining. The dancing between plays, the excited yelling and cheering on of his teammates, and overall exuberance has made him a fan favorite and the emotional leader of one of the nation's top junior colleges.

Stupid Op-Ed
The New York Times Op-Ed columns recently have been nothing short of stupid. The one I just finished reading bashes internships and makes the bold statement that paid internships are better for the intern than unpaid internships.
The column itself is far from objective; it doesn't even bother to give the other side of the issue (a little too common in the media these days). While there are certain disadvantages to unpaid internships (lost wages, higher debt, rewards higher income people and people with connections), overall there are clear reasons why these are preferred. It would be nice if the author found the space in her column to mention those reasons. Since she didn't, I will take the time to do so.
The biggest reason internships are sought after is that they give job experience you cannot get in the classroom. Future employers will want to see not only that you are a hard worker, but that you have the capability to do the specific assignments they need from you. The reason these internships are often unpaid is that many of the groups giving the internship do not have the money to pay the worker for their time. For example, I had an internship with the City of Syracuse Department of Audit during graduate school. Without that experience, I might not have gotten the job I am in now. And anyone who knows about the City of Syracuse will understand that the government does not have the funds to pay me for my time.
I know from other experiences that internships can be far from perfect. They don't always give you work that is exciting or even applicable to your career path. But anyone who isn't smart enough to know that experience in a related field will look better on a job application than one more year of waitressing shouldn't be allowed to publish in the New York Times.

Simply click on a question to reveal its answer.
• Any male of mature age, that is, of twenty-one years or more, can apply to become a Freemason (or in Scotland, over eighteen years of age if his father is a Freemason).
• A belief in a Supreme Being. Every applicant must profess such a belief but Freemasonry does not define, or impose, a definition of a Supreme Being. Each individual applicant must define that entity for himself. Atheists and Agnostics cannot, therefore, become Freemasons. This belief is absolute and admits of no exceptions. Of course individuals might lie in this respect in order to gain admission and there is little that Freemasons could do to identify such men. All is taken on the honour of the individual concerned. In fact everything that a Freemason does in his private and public life must be honourable and Freemasonry encourages all members to behave in an upright and moral manner.
• A Members Obligation. Each and every applicant must be able to fulfil his obligations (financial, moral, and in terms of his time) to his family, his employment and his faith before he makes any commitment to Freemasonry.
• Masonic 'Obligation'. For in excess of 400 years Scottish Lodges have required an applicant to take a vow, or oath, on a holy book on his admission to Freemasonry. Such an oath, or obligation, is necessary in order to add sanctity to what is a serious undertaking and can be compared to; 'swearing the whole truth and nothing but the truth' in a court of law. Such oaths were common in many aspects of life 400 years ago when Freemasonry began and the Grand Lodge of Scotland continues that practice although many institutions have since done away with that necessity.
• Moral and Upright Men. This means that a man who has been convicted, in a court of law, of a serious criminal offence cannot become a Freemason. Anyone who is a Freemason who is so convicted is subject to Masonic discipline and will be expelled from the Craft.

Historical archaeology refers to the study of archaeological remains dating from 'modern' periods, usually within the last 500 years. This research paper outlines the major themes of historical archaeology, with particular attention to capitalism and colonialism. It discusses new theoretical developments, in particular the expansion of the field beyond North America and the Atlantic World, and greater engagement with social theory.
The term historical archaeology is somewhat of a misnomer for this field. Technically, historical archaeology could apply to any period for which historical documentation is available to supplement the material record studied by archaeologists. We might think of historical archaeology as more specifically the archaeology of the modern world (although modernity itself is a contested term). This period coincides roughly with the beginning of capitalism and European colonialism, with most historical archaeologists studying material remains, and the social relations to which they relate, from the late 1400s onward. Historical archaeology thus encounters some of the material with which we ourselves have some familiarity. The field itself was first broadly constituted in North America in the 1960s, and by the 1990s was firmly established with a focus on the major themes discussed here (Little, 1994).
Several key social, cultural, and economic issues are most commonly investigated through historical archaeology's broad framing of modernity (cf Funari et al., 1999). Capitalism has been, and continues to be, one of the central topics for historical archaeology. Our field studies the emergence of capitalism in Europe, the Americas, and elsewhere. This is often thought of in linear terms, with capitalist ways of life first being thought to emerge in England. Studies of household space and landscapes show that a process of enclosure began to commodify agrarian space, households increasingly began to differentiate work and domestic space, and food preparation and consumption began to separate (Johnson, 1996). Such changes have been argued to form a genealogy of later capitalist shifts in the United States, often framed as an eighteenth- century 'Georgian Order' in housing and other material culture (Deetz, 1996; Leone, 1984).
Historical archaeological studies of capitalism go far beyond economic shifts; fundamentally these studies are interested in the social changes associated with new ways of organizing labor and bodies, often concomitant with the rise of the individual (Shackel, 1993). Beyond British genealogies and the eighteenth-century Georgian Order, capitalism has been addressed in a range of different contexts. Plantations, for instance, have been central to wider debates as to the development of capitalist production (Mintz, 1985; Wolf, 1982). Studying the landscape of plantations, archaeologists have identified ways in which space was used to help create new means of viewing labor, in line with the development of particular technologies of labor that are seen to be tied up in capitalism (Delle, 1998). Other archaeologists have addressed capitalism through the world systems theory outlined by Immanuel Wallerstein (2000). Thus, the archaeology of Russian America can be studied as a part of a global system of capitalism, linking changes in material culture and oppression of native communities to wider worldwide economics (Crowell, 1997). Industrial archaeology – the study of factories and domestic spaces in industrialized locations – has also been a vital part of the study of capitalism. This involves the study of factories themselves, including their development as workplaces separated from the home with clear class hierarchies, and the concomitant growth of new domestic spaces for working class laborers and their families (Casella and Croucher, 2010; McGuire and Reckner, 2005; Mrozowski, 2000; Palmer, 2005; Symonds, 2005). This turn to industrialization is studied hand in hand with the general shift toward urbanization, and extensive studies of working class 'slums' have taken place in cities such as New York (Mayne and Murray, 2001).
The second central research topic of historical archaeology is the study of colonialism. This is often a corollary of developing capitalism, but is regularly separated out in analyses (cf Croucher and Weiss, 2011; Orser, 1996). The archaeology of Spanish colonialism forms one broad subfield, in locations such as Mexico (Rodríguez-Alegría, 2005), the Caribbean and Florida (Deagan, 1998), and California (Voss, 2008). The archaeology of British colonialism forms another significant subfield (Lawrence, 2003) and this includes locations as diverse as North America (Deetz, 1996), Australia (Paterson and Wilson, 2000), and South Africa (Klose and Malan, 2000). Beyond this, increasing attention is being paid to the archaeology of French colonialism, particularly in the Caribbean (Dawdy, 2008; Kelly and Hardy, 2011). Smaller pockets of study have addressed Dutch colonialism in South America (Hall, 2000; Schrire, 1995), Russian colonialism in the Americas (Lightfoot et al., 1998), and Omani colonialism in East Africa. Recent directions in this field, drawing on postcolonial theory, have turned from the study of colonizer to that of the colonized, placing increasing importance on the way in which indigenous cultures resisted colonial rule and continued to thrive, even as forms of material culture may seem to change. Such studies emphasize the ever-changing nature of indigenous societies, and the need to understand these as occupying the same temporal space – i.e., not that of the 'primitive' – as colonizers (Liebmann and Murphy, 2011; Silliman, 2009).
The study of these issues is addressed through varied forms of material culture. Historical archaeologists excavate, just as in any other field, and many studies are based on quantitative analysis of artifact patterns at different sites (e.g., Shackel, 1993). Other studies address landscape-based approaches, studying buildings or larger-scale landscapes to assess changing patterns through time (e.g., Delle, 1998). Alongside these sources, historical archaeologists always incorporate, to varying degrees, historical data. This field is by no means a 'handmaiden to history' (Noël Hume, 1964); instead, we are able to bring new insights to historical data through our integration of material perspectives. Oral historical interviews may also be undertaken in conjunction with archaeological excavation, and these may yield an interesting interplay between recollection and material facts (Whitehead and Casella, 2011).
The beginnings of historical archaeology were rooted in a search for a distinctly American past. Plantations in the Chesapeake have long, for instance, been a mainstay of historical archaeology. However, there has also always been diversity in the field, if nothing else, through the study of Spanish colonialism. But in the last few decades there has been significant growth in the idea of historical archaeology as a global field. At first this included the recognition that colonial South Africa had interesting comparisons with the U.S. (Falk, 1991), and the study of European colonialism in Australia, as mentioned above, has also figured into historical archaeology writ large. By the 1990s 'postmedieval' archaeologists in the United Kingdom (those archaeologists studying roughly the same period as US-based historical archaeologists) were beginning to engage in serious debate with U.S. scholars about the Atlantic World. But this period also witnessed the push for something that was more recognizably postcolonial in theoretical orientation, that is, some way in which historical archaeology outside of the Atlantic World, and areas which did not experience white settler colonialism, might also be addressed through the broader rubric of historical archaeology. One of the areas in which this development has been most notable has been sub-Saharan Africa (Croucher, 2014; Reid and Lane, 2004; Richard, 2013). This move has come with a call to incorporate postcolonial theory into historical archaeology, so that the dominant narrative is no longer that of a teleological expansion of European colonialism and capitalism throughout the world, and in which local voices come to be privileged in the determination of heritage (Shepherd, 2002; Stahl, 2009).
One of the central subfields of historical archaeology is the study of the African Diaspora. This began with the excavation of plantations in the U.S., and many studies have been written about the materiality of enslaved life in the Americas, demonstrating the rich social and cultural lives of these groups. For instance, on Jamaica, Mark Hauser (2008) has used locally produced ceramics as a means to trace participation in autonomous economic transactions by African Jamaicans. The deliberate deposition of artifacts, and artifacts associated with burials often shows the way in which enslaved and free black communities participated in ritual practices linked to African traditions (Armstrong and Fleishman, 2003; Davidson, 2010). Archaeological studies in the Americas, and now in East Africa, have also shown how self-emancipated communities built autonomous lives outside of bondage (Marshall, 2013). Studying free communities allows archaeologists to understand the way in which agency was expressed by African descendant individuals and groups, and shifts our present-day focus on the African Diaspora away from slavery. As such there has been a significant turn toward the study of free black communities in the U.S. in particular, with growing attention focused on the effects of systematic racism through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Leone et al., 2005; Mullins, 1999). Themes of social justice, racialization, and the study of those groups who may lack widespread historical recognition are also present in studies of wider immigrant groups in the U.S. This includes the study of Irish Americans in the industrial northeast and overseas Chinese in the West (Voss, 2005).
Feminist and gendered approaches to archaeology have been taken up widely within historical archaeology. Since much of the structure of gendered life today has been actively generated in the last few hundred years, historical archaeologists are able to trace the way in which material culture has been used to create and reinforce gender norms and identities. For instance, Diana Wall (1994) has shown that ceramics for various forms of dining in nineteenth-century New York City were related to the growing development of middle- and upper-class values in relation to the separation of the domestic sphere. Masculinities have also been studied in historical archaeology; Rodney Harrison (2002) has shown how impressive flaked glass tools, known as Kimberley spear points, were central to new ways of defining masculinity for Aboriginal men in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Australia. Sexuality has also begun to be integrated into historical archaeology, with a range of case studies showing the value of analyzing former brothel contexts to understand more about the lives of the women and men who formerly inhabited these sites (Seifert, 1991). Sexuality has been recognized as one of the ways through which colonial subjects were controlled. In eighteenth-century California, controlling indigenous and colonist women's sexuality was achieved through various spatial means, including the redesign of the Presidio in San Francisco (Voss, 2008). Critiques of mainstream feminist approaches have also been raised through drawing historical archaeology into conversation with black feminist theory (Battle-Baptiste, 2011; Franklin, 2001). These demonstrate the general lack of diversity within the field and have forced archaeologists to think about intersectionality, particularly as it pertains to African Diaspora archaeology.
The lack of diversity in historical archaeology is being addressed in part through a revisioning of some projects in relation to local communities. Following on from public pressure in cases with egregious mismanagement such as the African Burial Ground in New York City, historical archaeologists are beginning to recognize the importance of being led by communities as we engage in our research (La Roche et al., 1997). The nature of our field means that there are often communities who have some form of direct ties to the material that we work with. Listening to such groups and having an open and collaborative research process may mean that we come to produce work that holds much greater value to a public beyond our discipline, and that in the process also pays greater attention to the wealth of knowledge held in communities outside of traditional scholarly venues (Agbe-Davies, 2010; McDavid, 2002).
Historical archaeologists also have their eyes turned to the future, present, and very recent past. Forensic archaeology overlaps with historical archaeology in chronological terms, and historical archaeologists engage with the practice and theory of locating and identifying remains associated with war, mass killings, and other human rights violations of the last century (Crossland, 2000; González-Ruibal, 2008; see Conflict and War, Archaeology of: Behavior and Social Organization). Studies of contemporary material culture, practiced using the methodologies of historical archaeology, are also allowing archaeologists to analyze the materiality of contemporary phenomena. For example, Jason De León (2012) has studied the material traces of, and objects carried by, undocumented migrants crossing the U.S. border from Mexico. This shows the way in which migrants struggle to carry useful objects purchased with limited means. Such archaeological projects fuse the methodology of historical archaeology with ethnographic study to bring forward new insights that emerge when material culture is taken seriously. Interdisciplinarity – drawing on varied historical and ethnographic data – is the hallmark of historical archaeology. This field is by no means a handmaiden to history; historical archaeologists are focused on material culture, and thus are able to bring new insights into periods which may seem much more familiar than the traditional areas of archaeological study.
