This volume summarizes the remarkably diverse archaeological
discoveries made during the past half century of investigations at
the site of St. Mary's City, the first capital of Maryland and one
of the earliest European settlements in America. Founded in 1634,
the city had disappeared by 1750, yet the archaeology documented in
Unearthing St. Mary's City reveals its untold history.Contributors
to this volume review new research approaches and methods developed
recently at Historic St. Mary's City. They study the archaeology,
architecture, and people of the lively seventeenth-century colonial
hub. They also explore the landscapes of agriculture, enslavement,
and remembrance that developed at the site in the centuries after
the capital's relocation to Annapolis. In their chapters,
contributors delve into subjects such as soil analysis, ceramics,
diet, forts, burials, plantations, state houses, tenants, tobacco
pipes, gaming, and the education of women. The lands along the
Chesapeake Bay have witnessed a vast range of human experiences,
and this book highlights the lives of peoples of European, Native
American, and African origins who lived on this site over a span of
four centuries. Their stories illuminate the multilayered nature of
this important place and the broader Chesapeake region and serve as
a testament to the potential and power of historical archaeology.
