Abstract: From at least 1750 until 1900, Euro-American settlers of New York and New Jersey appropriated the production of Indigenous North American shell beads, namely wampum. Excavations at the David Campbell House in northeastern New Jersey yielded deposits of worked shell coterminous with household assemblages dating from 1810 to 1850. Artifact analyses combined with merchant ledger manuscripts reveal the chaîne opératoire of settler beadmaking from 1770 to 1900, including temporalities of production, waste, and racial and gendered labor dynamics in transition to factory production. Conclusions warrant greater archaeological attention to the relationship between capitalist industrialization, settler-colonial dispossession, and Indigenous resistance.

Abstract: Since June 2022, the Central Museum of Prisoners-of-War (Poland) has been carrying out a multidisciplinary research project entitled “Science for Society, Society for Science at the Site of National Remembrance in Łambinowice.” The aim of this article is to discuss the preliminary results of selected non-invasive and invasive archaeological and ethnographic research realized during the first months of the field activities. Additionally, they show the value of so-called community archaeology in which the participation of local inhabitants in field research is an important element of applied methodology.

Abstract: A non-intensive pedestrian survey was conducted in al-Araqib in the northern Negev, Israel. This project identified four types of sites that are interpreted as evidence of Bedouin activity during the Ottoman and/or British Mandate periods. The results of this study have implications for identifying archaeological remains of Bedouin activity. This research also demonstrates that Bedouin settlement in the northern Negev during the Late Ottoman and British Mandate was a more complex process than the one envisioned by other researchers.

Abstract: Colombian urban archaeology has been growing since the 1990s, particularly in Caribbean cities such as Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Santa Marta. The investigations generally respond to the need to comply with protection regulations of archaeological heritage in restoration projects of Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC, the Spanish acronym for Bienes de Interés Cultural), located in historic centers or urban infrastructure works. The results have allowed for the reconstruction of various aspects of daily life in these cities since their foundation, but they have also uncovered data on previous occupations of those same spaces during the pre-Hispanic period. There is still a need to consolidate adequate work strategies adjusted to the needs and particularities of these contexts, which increasingly require the execution of this type of archaeology project.

Abstract: This article reflects on the spatial history of agrarian capitalism in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, through the lens of a French farming colony on the Nautla river. While, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this region’s rural landscapes were ostensibly redesigned at the hand of liberal state programs and capitalist desires, a closer look shows a more checkered reality. Using textual and geographic archives, my analysis examines the tensions and “cracks” that emerged in this process of economic “modernization,” with an eye for the fugitive histories fashioned by French colonists in the face of capitalist abstraction.

Abstract: We examine how beekeeping and the production of honey and wax on Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula was transformed in the wake of the sixteenth-century Spanish invasion and industrial revolution. Honey and wax produced from stingless bees (Melipona beecheii) were key commodities circulated throughout the prehispanic, colonial, and postcolonial periods. European honeybees (Apis mellifera) were introduced by the late nineteenth century, as demand for honey and wax transformed ecologies, technology, vegetative communities, and beekeeping practices. We compare archaeological, paleoethnobotanical, and soil chemical evidence of an apiary, likely for Apis mellifera, with documentary evidence for mixed species beekeeping at Hacienda San Pedro Cholul, a henequen plantation situated on the outskirts of Mérida.

Abstract: Excavations for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois, were conducted in the 2000s by Fever River Research to comply with federal Sect. 106 laws. The research yielded an extensive assemblage of domestic and commercial archaeological features. This case study focuses on Features 11 and 35 in the East Parking excavation block that yielded five bottles of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Advertisements for the syrup showcased a radiant mother and her children and this imagery plays into nineteenth-century ideas concerning domesticity and motherhood; therefore, I consider the presence of multiple bottles of syrup recovered from a temporally well-defined stratigraphic range to explore the politics of gender, consumer choices, and advertising.

Abstract: Kimberly Wooten is an historical archaeologist with the California Department of Transportation’s Cultural Studies (Caltrans) Office in Sacramento, California. Dr. Dr. Maria Zolezzi Garibaldi is a fictional archaeologist with the California Department of Transportation & Interstellar Travel, specializing in ritualistic behavior in both human and non-human societies during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Journey with us to the year 2167, where our intrepid archaeologist has made a fascinating discovery… a FOOB! Carefully cradled in its pale pink packaging, this breast prosthesis is thought to have had ritual purposes, and while the prostheses do not deteriorate over time, intact packaging has never been found before! This article uses humor and archaeology to discuss the author’s personal cancer experience and the association of the color pink with femininity and breast cancer. The author’s intention is to bring awareness and understanding to archaeologists working with disabilities on a daily basis.

Abstract: Archaeologists are well situated for the study of disability because social expectations about normative ability and behavior are embedded into buildings, landscapes, material culture, and daily practices. Archaeologists can destabilize norms by investigating how expectations changed over time, and archaeological research is a way of exploring the intersection between embodied experiences, agency, and identification. Archaeological research into embodied and social experiences of disability and institutionalization can inform current debates about accessibility and healthcare inequality. Window glass at an early twentieth-century tuberculosis sanatoria is an example of how ideas about the body are embedded in the landscape and built environment.

Abstract: Medicalization made medicine and the labels “healthy” and “ill” a part of daily life. Excavations at Hollywood Plantation in southeast Arkansas resulted in thousands of fragments of medicine bottles. From tonics increasingly marketed to women to elixirs produced to treat all types of ailments, medicine bottles show that the Taylor family bought into the idea that these curatives could remedy illnesses and bring forth health. Through the purchase and everyday consumption of these nostrums, they created internalized identities about what it meant to be healthy, as they participated in the market economy and responded to the changing ideas about health in the rural South. Historical archaeology, with its emphasis on materiality and households, provides intimate information on how individuals and families responded to direct-to-consumer advertising and were constrained agents in the medicalization of everyday life.

Abstract: This thematic volume explores how health, well-being, and ability are constructed in the past and in the present. The volume’s authors undo and question deeply ingrained assumptions about what constitutes a “normative” body. They do so by not only looking at how bodies have been medicalized and envisioned in the past, but also how our own profession and discipline discriminates against certain types of bodies in the present.

Abstract: Excavations at the Orange Valley hospital for the enslaved in Trelawny Parish, Jamaica, have revealed rich deposits of early nineteenth-century artifacts. These artifacts, when analyzed in conjunction with the building itself, surviving documents, and the broader landscape in which it stands, speak to the lives of enslaved people of African descent during the period of amelioration. Archaeology is beginning to reveal how plantation hospitals were employed to perpetuate the institution of slavery; while also illuminating how the enslaved patients and workers in the hospital were able to create meaningful lives and identities, that reflected their own traditions, despite the brutal drudgery of sugar production.

Abstract: Walking is frequently taken for granted as something that all people do in the same way. However, walking is a biocultural phenomenon that is structured by individual biology, cultural practices, and beliefs. This is exemplified in the walking patterns of children at the Syracuse State School for “idiots,” where children’s own bodies pushed back against their education of walking. Through an analysis of shoe repair receipts billed to the school, I assess the ways children moved their feet as they traversed the school compound. While the school’s attempt to control and discipline bodily movements play into wider discussions regarding governmental discipline of the disabled body and disability history and strengthens our understanding of curative violence.

Abstract: Archaeological inquiry into health is typically centered on ableism, which views healthiness and non-(dis)abledness as the desirable norm. To see beyond these normative perspectives, I propose a view of (dis)ease and (dis)ability as “well-being.” Well-being should be conceived as a complex assemblage that includes a focus on lived experience and an intersectional view of social and personal identities. I use archaeological and archival evidence from three lighthouses in the Great Lakes region of the United States to propose ways to apply the concept of well-being.

Abstract: In this article, I analyze an assemblage of flowerpots to explore how the ideas of nature and civilization interacted with the treatment of insanity. Patients at the Western Washington Hospital for the insane participated in horticultural activities as a part of their treatment. From cultivating greenhouse plants to maintaining them on the wards, the hospital’s horticultural regime immersed patients in a system governed by natural laws and rhythms, thereby fostering the self-esteem and discipline believed necessary to restore their sanity.

Abstract: In this article, I use three theories from disability studies—compulsory able-bodiedness, coming out and masquerading, and crip time—to examine stories of non-apparent disability from my interview study of diversity issues among archaeologists. I consider how our discipline privileges some bodies and minds over others and offer suggestions for building a truly inclusive and accessible archaeology.

Abstract: Central Appalachia experienced profound transitions during industrialization as modern scientific medicine, led by male doctors, actively displaced midwives and other folk healers. Medical reforms targeted company-controlled coalmining towns, which offered the latest care and first aid, hygiene, and scientific house-holding instruction. Residents of Jenkins, Kentucky, enthusiastically availed themselves of professional medical services, but patent medicine use and folk care continued. Century-old stereotypes about isolation and provincialism portray mountaineers as “hillbillies” resistant to change and modernity; however, medicines from the Shop Hollow Dump (ca. 1911-30s trash dump) suggest women creatively took charge of their bodies by self-administering products that simultaneously referenced scientific medicine and women-led "folk" traditions. Women consumers created new space for the work of feminine healing, destabilizing the patriarchal medical establishment’s hegemony which had radically altered gendered relationships of care. Studies of medicine reveal the historical importance of women-led care, providing crucial antidotes to Appalachia’s perpetual representation as medically underserved, impoverished, and backwards.

Abstract: This article charts the development of The Made in Migration Collective, a coalition of displaced people, academics, and creative professionals that was developed during a recently completed British Academy postdoctoral fellowship. Following discussion of how archaeology and heritage are under attack globally from far-right nationalism and specifically within the UK, I provide examples of how community archaeology can highlight fissures in capitalism. I follow others in interpreting anarchism as a potential form of care. Two public heritage exhibitions – one digital, one “live”—which were collaboratively produced by The Made in Migration Collective are reflected upon.
