The Plymouth Colony Archive Project has moved to a new address:
http://www.histarch.uiuc.edu/plymouth/
The Plymouth Colony Archive presents a collection of fully searchable texts,
including: court records, colony laws, seventeenth century journals and
memoirs, probate inventories, wills, town plans, maps, and fort plans; research
and seminar analyses of numerous topics; biographical profiles of selected
colonists; and architectural, archaeological and material culture studies.
Among other works, published here for the first time are a "Glossary and Notes
on Plymouth Colony," "Seventeenth Century Timber Framing," and "Vernacular
House Forms in Seventeenth Century Plymouth Colony: An Analysis of
Evidence from the Plymouth Colony Room-by-Room Probate Inventories 1633-
1685," by Patricia Scott Deetz and James Deetz. We also present studies
focusing on broader regional and temporal scales, including Jim Deetz's
analysis of changes over time in Anglo-American gravestone styles in New
England, and discussion of the Parting Ways site and archaeological evidence
found there of architectural forms and mortuary practices consistent with
elements of African-American heritage. In addition, we present a number of
tributes concerning the works of Prof. Deetz (1930-2000) in historical
archaeology.
We welcome all comments and suggestions of how we can better present the
materials we have made available and what additional materials you would like
to see added.
Thanks,
Chris
