Gloria S. King Research Fellowship in Archaeology
The Maryland Archaeological Conservation (MAC) Laboratory is pleased to announce the Gloria S. King Research Fellowship in Archaeology. The MAC Lab is an archaeological research, conservation, and curation facility located at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, the State Museum of Archaeology, in southern Maryland. The MAC Lab serves as a clearinghouse for archaeological collections recovered from land-based and underwater projects conducted by State and Federal agencies and other researchers throughout Maryland and is currently home to 8 million artifacts representing over 12,000 years of human occupation in Maryland. All of these collections are available for research, education, and exhibit purposes to students, scholars, museum curators, and educators and the purpose of the fellowship is to encourage research in the collections.
Eligibility: Students, academics, or professionals (employees of the Maryland Historical Trust and St. Mary’s College of Maryland are not eligible); any subject in Maryland archaeology; must use collections at the MAC Lab; must be in residence full time in the MAC Lab; must provide a presentation of research to museum staff members at the end of the fellowship.
Application process: A 1000 word proposal (no more than 4 typed pages, double-spaced) outlining the problem and the collections in the MAC Lab to be used, plus a CV plus a letter of recommendation.
Stipend: Stipend to be $500 a week, with a minimum two week stay and maximum 5 week stay. Stipend to be paid upon completion of fellowship for stay of two weeks; a fellowship of greater length will be paid in two installments: 50% at the midway point of the fellowship and 50% upon completion of fellowship. On-site housing may be available for fellows, dependent on scheduling of fellowship.
Gloria Shafer was born on January 6, 1931 in Baltimore, Maryland. She spent summers as a child on her family's farm near Chestertown, Maryland and attended Washington College. In 1955, she and her husband, George M. King, started a small excavating construction business in Anne Arundel County. She had a lifelong interest in Maryland history and archaeology and contributed funds and services to individuals and organizations supporting this interest. Mrs. King died on May 31, 2004 and this fellowship in her memory recognizes her many contributions to the preservation of the past.
Applications must be received at the address below by January 15th, 2013. Projects awarded a fellowship can begin as early as March 15th.

Subject: Southern Sweepers
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any relatively recent publications or work done on historic sites thought to have been occupied by "Southern Sweepers?" We are about to embark on the mitigation of a mid 19th through early 20th century farmstead, and preliminary testing is recovering few artifacts. We are looking for references or any thoughts or ideas on where the "debris field" might be located in relation to the house. Thanks and I appreciate the input.

Subject: Conference: Routine and Ritual in the Post-Medieval Home, York University, 7th - 9th September 2012
Apologies for cross-posting...
The Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology's annual conference will this year be held at York University, Friday 7th - Sunday 9th September, on the theme of:
*Routine and Ritual in the Post-Medieval Home*
http://www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/news-and-events/events/conferences/routineandritualinthepost-medievalhome/
This conference seeks to shed new light on the material culture of both routine and ritual practices in post-medieval vernacular houses. In recent years, scholars across a range of disciplines have become increasingly interested in the potential of objects to shed light on social relationships and domestic practices within the family, household and neighbourhood. This has led to a rise in studies of inventories, as records of particular assemblages within the home, made at a particular moment in time, and of objects themselves, recovered through archaeological excavation or curated within museum collections. Such studies have made use of new theoretical and methodological approaches, such as the idea of ‘biographies’, and the power of objects in telling ‘stories’ about the past – and indeed the present. However, to date, much less attention has been paid to the spatial context of objects, and to the ways in which the groupings of objects recovered in excavation, re corded in contemporary documents or illustrations, or curated and displayed as Museum assemblages, can shed light on the social practices households from the early modern period, to the present day.
Routine and Ritual seeks to being together academic and commercial archaeologists with scholars from other disciplines of cultural and local history, art history and the Museum profession, to discuss and debate the material culture of the post-medieval home and to facilitate dialogue across the disciplines and specialisms concerned with the interpretation of objects to academic and wider audiences. Contributors will think about the relationships between the people who inhabited houses, domestic practices including ‘routine’ activities such as cooking and eating, sleeping, socialising and working, but also more nominally ‘ritual’ activities such as the ritual protection of the home, or the marking of life-cycle rituals such as birth, marriage and death. What role did possessions - buildings and objects - play in these activities? What can we say about the sensory experience both within and between different kinds of home – levels of light, heating, ventilation, the feel of furniture and furnishings, the smell of cooking, scent or sanitation?
This conference seeks to consider both the methodological challenges posed by the ‘material turn’, and the potential of buildings and objects to answer some of the questions posed above.
Speakers include: Alasdair Brooks, Craig Cessford, Pete Connelly, Timothy Easton, Ian Evans, David Gaimster, Tara Hamling, Vesa-Pekka Herva, Audrey Horning, Nigel Jeffries, Eleanor John, Freya Massey, Angela McShane, Andrew Morrall, Paul Mullins, Alastair Owen, Vesa-Pekka Herva, Sara Pennell, Philippa Puzey-Broomhead, Greig Parker, Catherine Richardson, Jayne Rimmer, Rosemary Weinstein.
The cost of attending the conference is £30, including lunches and refreshments. Further information about the conference, including the programme and registration, can be found here: http://www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/news-and-events/events/conferences/routineandritualinthepost-medievalhome/

Subject: Re: Basque Archaeology
Hi
I would suggest you look at the resources at the Basque Library at the University of Nevada, Reno. There are a lot of great references and several Oral Histories that might be of use. Also, if the basque associated with the boarding house were also associated with the sheep industry, if Idaho had an association like the Wool Growers Association of Arizona, their institutional documentation would be very useful if they kept good records and they are archived some place in Ida. I know that Utah and Nevada had similar organizations, so it stands to reason that Idaho did as well.
In response to finding a large number of sheep related archaeological sites on the Kaibab National Forest of Northern Arizona, I wrote a brief paper on the sheep industry and the forest service a few months ago, if your interested in a copy. Though there were some Basque working in the sheep industry in Northern Arizona starting around the 1900s, importing Basque sheep herders in larger numbers as temporary guest workers was not done here until the late 1940s early 1950s, or after most of the sheep herding companies started to use trailers and trucks. Prior to that time the majority of the sheep herders were hispanic. Consequently, our "sheep camp" sites, most of which appear to have been occupied prior to WWII, were generally related to hispanic herders, rather than basque herders. ---

Greetings everyone,
My colleague, Dr. Mark Warner, and I have been asked to excavate an historic well that was discovered in association with a mid- to late-19th century boardinghouse occupied by Basque immigrants in Boise, Idaho. The project is being conducted on short notice as the organization who owns it, the Basque Museum & Cultural Center, encountered the feature while renovating and restoring a deck surrounding the boardinghouse. We are writing to see if anyone as conducted archaeological research on Basque immigrants and would greatly appreciate any references you could send our way.
Many thanks,
Stacey Camp

Subject: Archaeology of Communal Societies
I have just begun researching a collection that has a transcendental/foureuristic society component. I would appreciate some extra sources that would help to provide a stronger background in past work as well as potential research avenues.
It was suggested that I should compare this site with Shaker Village sites, because they were both prominent societies in the Northeast at the same time.
I was considering looking at foodways, but the site had several occupations.
Comments and suggests would be welcomed.
Thanks

Hi Sam,
Best of luck with your research; fascinating!
The North American Phalanx in New Jersey has not, as best I know, had any archaeological excavations conducted. However, if you are looking for documentary resources, there is a collection containing Phalanx materials at the Monmouth County Historical Association, Freehold, NJ. A finding aid is available online here:
http://www.monmouthhistory.org/Sections-read-20.html
I am very much interested in this topic, as it is parallel/associated with work I am doing. Please feel free to email me off-list.
