Discovering the Decades: 1790s
Alexandria Archaeology Looks Back at 250 Years of Alexandria History The 1790s Points in Time
  • 1790: The first U.S. census taken; Alexandria's population is 2748, and nearly 22% are African Americans; Congress passes a naturalization act; first successful water-powered cotton mill erected; first patent granted 1790-1795: Warfare between the U.S. Army and the Indians of the old Northwest 1791: First Bank of the United States founded; Bill of Rights is ratified; first internal revenue tax; Vermont becomes a state 1792: Construction of the White House begins; U.S. mint established at Philadelphia; Eli Whitney invents the cotton gin 1793: First federal fugitive slave law; Neutrality Act; Thomas Jefferson invents the moldboard plow 1794: Whisky Rebellion 1795: First practical industrial steam engine in the U.S. 1797: First U.S. medical journal published 1798-1800: The Quasi-War with France 1799: George Washington dies
Points in Time At the dawn of a new decade Alexandrians were delighted to fete Ambassador Thomas Jefferson at Wise's Tavern (201 North Fairfax Street) upon his return from France in March 1790. During the ceremony Mayor William Hunter delivered these welcoming remarks: "As a commercial town, we feel ourselves particularly indebted to you for the indulgences which your enlightened representations to the Court of France have secured to our trade. You have freed commerce from its shackles..." Jefferson's reply acknowledged his guests' hospitality: "Accept my sincere thanks for yourself and the worthy citizens of Alexandria, for their kind congratulations on my return to my native country. I am happy to learn that they have felt benefit from the encouragements to our commerce which have been given by an allied nation...."

997 MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAMME - Karen Millar EXPLANATION OF OBJECTIVES The overall objective is to train a chosen group of eight Sri Lankan archaeologists in maritime archaeological techniques. The ultimate aim is for Sri Lanka to have a group of skilled local people to manage the country’s maritime archaeological sites. This season’s work is being conducted over a six week period, a continuation of the training given in 1992/3. The programme aims to provide a basic and general understanding of all aspects of maritime archaeology, with exposure to the wide range of skills required. In-water practical sessions are supplemented by tutorials, work shops and video presentations to explain various aspects of underwater archaeology.
The trainees are asked to develop a workbook covering all the exercises they have completed, and to write up the practical workshops in which they are involved. An individual assessment of each trainee’s skills in five categories is made progressively, with a final assessment at the completion of the programme. Participants are awarded a certificate of their participation in the training programme. Assessment of equipment and in-water abilities

ARTICLE
Mines, Territorial Organization, and Social Structure in Roman Iberia: Carthago Noua and the Peninsular Northwest
Research into Roman provincial organization is inseparable from the study of the evolution of provincial social structures. The authors incorporate this perspective into the landscape archaeological program, "Social Structure and Territory in Roman Iberia." The results of this program in two areas of the Iberian peninsula where mining was practiced intensively during the Roman period, Carthago Noua in the southeast and the peninsular northwest, demonstrate that the Romans took various approaches to social and territorial organization in order to maximize the productivity of mining operations and to adapt to changes in those operations.

VISIT INFORMATION The early background of the Museum collections is based on the recovery work carried out by institutions such as the Royal Academy of Letters of Barcelona or the Provincial Commission on Monuments during the 19th century. In 1879 the State creates the Provincial Museum of Antiquities in the Chapel of Saint Agatha. As of 1882, a series of museum facilities are established in Ciutadella Park by municipal initiative. This finally leads to creation of the Museum of Art and the Archaeology Museum in the former Arsenal of the Ciutadella (present the Parliament of Catalonia) in 1915. After the Civil War (1939), management of the Museum, referred to at that time as the Archaeology Museum of Barcelona, is transferred to the Barcelona County Council. There is an extended period characterised by the gradual introduction of reforms and expansion of the permanent exhibits, as well as the reorganisation of its services and internal offices. At this time the museum also becomes responsible for safeguarding the archaeological heritage and several programmes of archaeological excavation are conducted. In 1995 the County Council transfers management of the museum to the Autonomous Government of Catalonia and the Museu d'Arqueolo-gia de Catalunya becomes a new Autonomous Body. The museum is presently undergoing reforms in order to adapt to the most recent trends.

Session for the EAA 10th Annual Meeting, 8th-12th September 2004 Lyon, France
Session abstract The encounter, the meeting and the contact between individuals, groups and series is a classical theme in archaeology. Its importance has been rejected or emphasised, and often used as explanation for social change, within varied frameworks of social theory. The later decades world-systems theory and post-colonial critique offered new perspectives on this topic, but the discussions regarding encounters are still held on rather a superficial level. A related concept, the situation, has never really been used seriously in archaeology as an operative concept. The situation is an analytic notion that seeks to comprise repetitive structurating practice and ideological change, including negotiation and open conflict. In a situation norms are either sustained or questioned, and it is analytic arena which may prove to be successful in discussing social change and social reproduction. Materialities, i.e. the social dimension the material world, carries a potential for being active components in situations of encounter and is thus a major topic for discussion. Materialities is not merely a reflection of social

THE SECRETS OF THE SHALLOWS
by Mario Mazzoli - A.S.S.O. - published on MONDO SOMMERSO magazine - 1992, April Some time ago in the underground we were glanging at the newspaper of an elderly lady who, despite the crush, continued to unperturbedly read an article which announced the approval of the law on voluntary workers. Civil defence, mediacl aid, cultural assets, finance, coordination, etc.
Our minds immediately turned to the Secca dei Mattoni shallows between the islands of Ponza and Palmarola where, years ago, when we were still part of the underwater section of the ArcheoClub d'Italia , we carried out three excavation campaigns regarding an important Republican wreck. We taxed ourselves and made every effort, including some RAI television trasmissions, to finance the excavations which were kindly and wisely authorized by the Head of the Archaeological Service for Latium , Mrs. M. L. Veloccia Rinaldi. We remember the enormous bulk of work, the excellent quality of the results obtained compared with the briefness of our intervention, determined by tha lack of finance and by the large number of persons involved. We also reflected on the attempts to exclude voluntary workers from these activities because "... as you know, these things should be done by professionals (please read firms) and the voluntary workers could, perhaps, carry out the work of recognition, marking...."
Far be it from us to want to get involved in arid disquisitions among voluntary workers, firms, and archaelogical services because, as you can well imagine, each case is a story in itself.

N. America's settlers may have crossed Atlantic
November 2, 1999
Web posted at: 8:42 AM EST (1342 GMT) SANTA FE, New Mexico (AP) In a radical new view of pre-history, two prominent archeologists say North America's first inhabitants may have crossed the icy Atlantic Ocean some 18,000 years ago from Europe's Iberian Peninsula. The theory, presented at a weekend conference, is at odds with the long-held notion that the continent's first settlers came across a land bridge from Asia. MESSAGE BOARD Archaeology today The conventional view typically depicts wandering cavemen wrapped in animal hides and lugging enormous spears, crossing the land bridge from Asia to hunt woolly mammoths.

Standing Costrel
Description
Fabric: Soft and chalky, usually buff to very pale yellow, but can also be pale brown. Sherds are easily mistaken for tin-glaze missing its glaze, and the costrels may have come from kilns primarily producing tin-glazed products. Picture.
Glaze: Although sometimes mistaken for tin-glaze, chemical analysis of a Jamestown example found the glaze to be lead (Jelks 1958:205). It usually does not reach the base, is usually extremely thin, and typically surviving only in isolated patches. This survival in pits is the best way to distinguish costrel fragments from tin-glaze which has lost its surface. Under the glaze on the upper shoulders, some costrels exhibit a crude, eight-pointed star which can be yellow, red, or blue (Hurst et al. 1986:63). Blue spirals have also been found (Outlaw 1990:116, 119).
Form: Standing costrels are rounded with a long tapering neck flanked by two vertical loop handles. Two sides are flattened, bases are flat and slightly splayed. They stand about 22 cm tall.
Discussion:
Standing costrels, sometimes called "Iberian costrels", are one of the most common European earthenwares found in early Virginia. The vessels were almost certainly made on the Iberian peninsula, but their source has not been identified (John G. Hurst 1994, pers. comm.). Seville has been suggested, but Neutron Activation Analysis of a sherd from Virginia (site 44PG302) indicates they are not a Seville product (John G. Hurst 1995, pers. comm.).
