Description

Review "Archaeological studies of the household have proven to be a fruitful inquiry into this basic social unit. This volume expands this inquiry. . . . A useful volume presenting new and original essays."--Historical Archaeology "Emphasize[s] the ways that intensive study of places where people lived, the activities they engaged in, and the material culture they used and discarded, sheds light on social relations, economic differences, and other social and historical processes. . . . An effective argument for the continued study of households by archaeologists."--Choice Product Description While household archaeologists view the home as a social unit, few move their investigations ""beyond the walls"" when contextualizing a household in its community. Even exterior aspects of a dwelling-its plant life, yard spaces, and trash heaps-uncover issues of domination and resistance, gender relations, and the effects of colonialism. This innovative volume examines historical homes and their wider landscapes to more fully address social issues of the past.The contributors, leading archaeologists using various interpretive frameworks, analyze households across time periods and diverse cultures in North America. Including case studies of James Madison's Montpelier, George Washington's Ferry Farm, Chinese immigrants in a Nevada mining town, Hawaiian ranching communities, and Southern plantations, Beyond the Walls offers a new avenue for archaeological study of domestic sites.
