Like a fence with wooden posts, these were buildings whose walls were attached to posts whose feet were set in post holes and held in place by having dirt compacted around the post feet as the post holes were back filled. At St. John’s, they discovered that the most accurate way to dimension an earthfast building was not from archaeological drawings, but directly from the dirt. At van Sweringen’s coffee house, through tedious experiments, they learned the best way to dimension hole-set timbers. Their refined excavating techniques allowed them to diagnose the phase two van Sweringen kitchen as a side-wall reared structure and the print shop as a bent-reared structure. Morrison and Stone’s research benefited from collaboration with architectural historian Cary Carson, historian Lois Carr, and housewright John O’Rourke--O’Rourke’s construction of a seventeenth-century plantation exhibit served, in part, as experimental archaeology. The 1970s was an exciting period of archaeological discovery throughout the Chesapeake. In 1981, under the leadership of Cary Carson, these discoveries were published as “Impermanent Architecture in the Southern American Colonies.”","PeriodicalId":138315,"journal":{"name":"Unearthing St. Mary's City","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114411031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hicks was a ship captain from Whitehaven, England, who married a local woman and settled on the St. Mary’s Townlands. Shortly before 1749, Hicks constructed a new dwelling and his old dwelling was moved to become an outbuilding. In the process of clearing the old site for agriculture, Hicks’s slaves buried thousands of artifacts in the old cellar and in pits. Archaeologists Glenn Little and Stephen Israel sorted the artifacts by function. Minimal vessel estimates were made for ceramics and glass. Historian Lois Carr used land records and probate inventories to model the social structure of the St. Mary’s City Townlands and St. Mary’s County. While Captain Hicks ranked among the top ten-percent of the County’s tobacco producers and lived quite comfortably, his standard of living was modest compared to William Deacon, Esquire, Customs Collector for the North Potomac, the Townlands’ grandee. While Dr. Carr was able to reconstruct much of Captain Hicks’s career, she could learn little about his 19 slaves other than their names and ages.","PeriodicalId":138315,"journal":{"name":"Unearthing St. Mary's City","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132787903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the early years of the seminary were marked with financial struggles and administrative challenges, the institution survived, transforming from a small women’s secondary school into a four-year, co-ed college. As part of plans to improve existing infrastructure on the property, St. Mary’s College of Maryland recruited archaeologists from Historic St. Mary’s City to conduct excavations on the areas scheduled to be impacted. A mere four excavation units yielded more than 20,000 artifacts dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This chapter reviews the history of the school and analyzes the artifacts recovered from the 1997 excavations, in concert with the institution’s documentary record, to explore life at the seminary at the turn of the century. This discussion balances evidence of student life, including artifacts related to personal adornment, hygiene, and recreation, against measures taken by the institution to keep costs down while improving aging infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":138315,"journal":{"name":"Unearthing St. Mary's City","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125507852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
