This volume is the first to offer an in-depth look at historical
archaeology, public history, and reconstruction in Williamsburg
through a comprehensive range of sites, topics, and analyses.
Uniquely combining a historical landscape and a large town museum
complex, Colonial Williamsburg has deeply influenced the discipline
for 100 years through one of the nation's longest continuously
running archaeological conservation programs. Historical
Archaeology in the Twenty-First Century illuminates the town's
history as an early capital of the Virginia Colony and home to the
College of William & Mary. In the 1700s, Williamsburg was a
center of political, cultural, and commercial life where people of
African, European, and Native American descent interacted
regularly. The case studies in this volume cover topics including
animal husbandry, the oyster industry, architectural
reconstruction, window leads, and an apothecary's display skeleton.
Contributors draw attention to the interactions between enslaved
and free communities as well as African American burial practices.
Using exemplary approaches and methodologies, this volume addresses
key concerns in the field such as amplifying voices of the African
diaspora, the development of ethically sound inclusive
archaeologies, the value of environmental analyses, and the
advantages of virtual models. The research highlighted here
provides state-of-the-art examples of how historical archaeology
can be used to inform, engage, and educate.
