I was wondering if anyone knew of any literature (grey or otherwise)
that I could obtain dealing with archaeological investigations of
Huguenot settlements in North America. I was reading some historical
literature concerning Manakintowne (now Manakin) in Powhatan County, VA
recently and wondered what archaeology had been done in that location as
well as in other Huguenot settlements along the East Coast
I am making this request for my own information as some of my ancestors
seemed to have settled in Manakintowne and am interested to learn more
about the particulars of the material culture/lifeways of these people
during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
Thanks in advance,
Ellen Shlasko did her dissertation (Yale) on Huguenots on the Santee River
near Charleston SC, and I have done work at the John de la Howe site in the New
Bordeaux, SC township (in Another's Country, ed by Joseph and Zierden,
Univ. of Alabama Press). The Santee settlers came over in the 1680s, while the
New Bordeaux folk arrived around 1765.
