Seminar in New World Historical Archaeology - AR 770
Boston University
Prof. Mary Beaudry
Fall 2000
Aims of the course
This course is intended to serve both as an introduction to the field of historical archaeology in general and as an overview of the archaeological evidence for life in the Americas in the early modern era. Topics covered include the development of historical archaeology as a distinct subfield of archaeology, its definitions and theoretical perspectives; the spread of European culture into non-European areas; contact between Europeans and native Americans; the development of regional folk cultures in 17th-century America; the rise of popular culture in the 18th century; military and civilian life in the colonial era; and archaeological studies of early American gardens and landscapes. Students gain familiarity with the material signature of colonization, ethnogenesis, and cultural development through a review of archaeological and architectural remains and artifacts found at British, French, Dutch, and Spanish sites throughout the Americas.
Assignments and grading
Students are expected to attend all classes and to complete all of the assigned readings. Regular classes will be conducted in a combined lecture/seminar format; graduate students will also meet weekly for a separate, hour-long seminar session. AR770 students will be graded on class participation and preparation, on assigned in-class presentations, and on a 25-30 page research paper.
Readings
Reserve readings
Readings indicated on the syllabus with an asterisk (*) will be available in the Course Documents folder on the course web site (see below); anything too large for me to scan in will be placed on reserve in the Stone Science Archaeology and Remote Sensing Library. For on-line readings (normally web sites devoted to a particular archaeological project), a hyperlink to the appropriate location on the World Wide Web has been provided on the on-line syllabus as well as on the External Links page of the course web site. Please note that neither the required texts nor the on-line readings will be on reserve in Stone.
Texts
Required texts are available for purchase at the Barnes & Noble Boston University Bookstore; all other readings for the course will be available either on the course web site (articles) or on reserve in the Stone Science Library (books and monographs that I want you to skim). (Note: while journal articles will be available on the course web site, journals such as Historical Archaeology will not be placed on reserve. The relevant volumes can be found in the stacks; out of consideration for fellow students, please be sure to return each volume to its proper location after you've used it.)
