Historical Archaeology of New York City is a collection of
narratives about people who lived in New York City during the
seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, people whose
lives archaeologists have encountered during excavations at sites
where these people lived or worked. The stories are ethnohistorical
or microhistorical studies created using archaeological and
documentary data. As microhistories, they are concerned with
particular people living at particular times in the past within the
framework of world events. The world events framework will be
provided in short introductions to chapters grouped by time periods
and themes. The foreword by Mary Beaudry and the afterword by
LuAnne DeCunzo bookend the individual case studies and add
theoretical weight to the volume. Historical Archaeology of New
York City focuses on specific individual life stories, or stories
of groups of people, as a way to present archaeological theory and
research. Archaeologists work with material culture-artifacts-to
recreate daily lives and study how culture works; this book is an
example of how to do this in a way that can attract people
interested in history as well as in anthropological theory.
