Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New archeological discoveries may finally solve the greatest mystery of Colonial America in this history of Roanoke and Hatteras Islands. Established on what is now North Carolina’s Roanoke Island, the Roanoke Colony was intended to be England’s first permanent settlement in North America. But in 1590, the entire population disappeared without a trace. The only clue to their fate was the word “Croatoan” carved into a tree. For centuries, the legend of the Lost Colony has captivated imaginations. Now, archaeologists from the University of Bristol, working with the Croatoan Archaeological Society, have uncovered tantalizing clues to the fate of the colony. In The Lost Colony and Hatteras Island, Hatteras native and amateur archaeologist Scott Dawson compiles what scholars know about the Lost Colony along with what scholars have found beneath the soil of Hatteras.
Book Synopsis Excavating Fort Raleigh by : Dr. Ivor Noel Hume
Download or read book Excavating Fort Raleigh written by Dr. Ivor Noel Hume and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dig into a first-hand account of excavations at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. A small earthen fort on Roanoke Island, traditionally known as Old Fort Raleigh, was the site of the first English colony in the Americas. Previous archaeological discoveries at the site left many questions unanswered by the 1990s. Where was the main fort and town founded by Raleigh's lieutenant, Ralph Lane, the first governor? Was the small log structure outside the fort really a defensive outwork? And why did the colonists go to the effort of making bricks from the local clay? These are the questions that scholars hoped to answer in an extensive, professional dig funded by National Geographic from 1991 to 1993. This skilled team of excavators-with a little luck-revealed America's first scientific laboratory, where the Elizabethan scientist Thomas Harriot analyzed North American natural resources and Joachim Gans assayed ores for valuable metals. Famed archaeologist of Colonial America Ivor Noël Hume describes the labor-intensive process of discoveries at Fort Raleigh.

Book Synopsis In Small Things Forgotten by : James Deetz
Download or read book In Small Things Forgotten written by James Deetz and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating study of American life and an explanation of how American life is studied through the everyday details of ordinary living, colorfully depicting a world hundreds of years in the past. History is recorded in many ways. According to author James Deetz, the past can be seen most fully by studying the small things so often forgotten. Objects such as doorways, gravestones, musical instruments, and even shards of pottery fill in the cracks between large historical events and depict the intricacies of daily life. In his completely revised and expanded edition of In Small Things Forgotten, Deetz has added new sections that more fully acknowledge the presence of women and African Americans in Colonial America. New interpretations of archaeological finds detail how minorities influenced and were affected by the development of the Anglo-American tradition in the years following the settlers' arrival in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. Among Deetz's observations: Subtle changes in building long before the Revolutionary War hinted at the growing independence of the American colonies and their desire to be less like the British. Records of estate auctions show that many households in Colonial America contained only one chair—underscoring the patriarchal nature of the early American family. All other members of the household sat on stools or the floor. The excavation of a tiny community of freed slaves in Massachusetts reveals evidence of the transplantation of African culture to North America.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Colonial Maryland by : Henry Miller
Download or read book The Archaeology of Colonial Maryland written by Henry Miller and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the perspectives of five different authors, archaeologists who have dedicated a significant part of their careers to understanding life in the 17th and 18th century English colony of Maryland. The genesis of this volume was a desire on behalf of the Maryland Historical Trust to create a synthetic volume that was accessible to the general public and which would describe the rich history and cultural heritage of the State as revealed through archaeology. This material culture of past people and places provides a window into history that the written record cannot duplicate (or actively attempts to silence). Dozens of sites are examined, ranging from plantation manor homes and slave quarters, to courthouses and ordinaries. Moreover, the lives of those who built Maryland are explored, including not only the powerful elites who governed the colony, but also those whose land and labor were being exploited: Native Americans, enslaved Africans, and poor indentured servants. All of them shaped what became Maryland, and this book tells their story as revealed through the objects they left behind and the clues buried in the soil of our State.
