“…Curiously, the merchant-associated feature has the lowest frequency of British refined earthenwares (24.5%, by MNV), and the tenement-associated feature has the highest (50.0%, by MNV). Archaeological research at other historic Chinese diaspora settlements has suggested that Chinatown merchants were key nodes of communication and economic trade between Chinese and white populations (e.g., Praetzellis and Praetzellis 1998, 2001; Praetzellis et al 1987). Yet the merchant household represented by Feature 83-31/20 relied most heavily on Chinese porcelains for their table settings.…”

The Archaeology of Serious Games: Play and Pragmatism in Victorian-Era Dining

This study expands on Ortner's practice-based theory of “serious games” by interpreting artifacts through a continuum of intention: pragmatism and play. Decisions and actions are defined as pragmatic according to their desired outcome, while play, in contrast, is an attitude or disposition toward the action itself. Both pragmatism and play are examined in this study of dining-related material culture (ceramic tablewares) from a nineteenth-century Chinatown. The research reveals that Chinatown residents varied considerably in their approach to dining, some using the full complement of British- and American-produced earthenwares associated with Victorian-era genteel dining, whereas others primarily used porcelain vessels congruent with dining conventions in southern China. Other households blended the two types of ceramics, typically using Chinese porcelain vessels for individual table settings and British- and American-produced earthenwares for serving vessels. Chinese porcelains were typically purchased in matched sets; in contrast, British and American earthenwares were acquired piece by piece, contributing aesthetic variety to Chinatown table settings. Together, these findings indicate that most Chinatown households were establishing their own “house rules” that redefined dining through new practices. The continuum of intention represented by pragmatism and play affords an integrated methodology for bridging functional/economic and cultural/symbolic interpretive frameworks in archaeology.

“…Elsewhere in North America, monuments to colonial histories represent long and complex relationships between indigenous groups and particular places, evoking family and faith alongside trauma and resistance (Rubertone, 2008). In reckoning with potentially painful pasts, the concept of ''sites of conscience'' has attracted considerable attention from museum professionals and archaeologists hoping to help the public engage with difficult histories (Little and Shackel, 2014;Praetzellis and Praetzellis, 2011). The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC, 2015) represents a network of museums and historic sites that foster dialogue about the implications that particular places have for social issues in the present, and this basic framework could serve as a useful template for the public interpretation of California mission sites (Dartt-Newton, 2011).…”

After Saint Serra: Unearthing indigenous histories at the California missions

In 2015, Pope Francis elevated Franciscan missionary Junípero Serra to sainthood, reinforcing the association between the California missions and the founding of Euroamerican colonies in western North America. Yet the canonization also leaves this discourse, and its associated narrative of indigenous decline, open to critique. Here, I examine two developments that effectively recast the California missions as distinctly indigenous places that embody both struggle and perseverance. First, Serra's canonization offers a platform for Native Californians to raise concerns about the historical and continuing impacts of the mission system. Second, the canonization coincides with new archaeological and ethnohistorical investigations of indigenous life in colonial California that illuminate how native people persisted despite the challenges of missionization. Taken together, these developments intersect ongoing efforts to reorient public interpretive programs at California mission sites to show their complex indigenous histories and the enduring consequences missionization has had for indigenous communities today.

“…In both the United States and abroad, the development of preservation laws and regulations has expanded the understanding of the past. Around the world, the practice of cultural resource management (CRM) and the associated regulatory environment have transformed the research fields of archaeology and historic preservation from explorations of the human past to mitigations of potential impacts to the human past (e.g., King 2013; O'Brien et al 2005; Praetzellis and Praetzellis 2011; Raab et al 1980). In the United States, CRM archaeologists work alongside local, state, federal, and tribal government officials to facilitate the implementation and execution of national and localized laws and regulations, including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA; NPS 2019) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).…”

Creative Mitigation: Alternative Strategies for Resources, Stakeholders, and the Public

Standard mitigation treatment for adverse effects to significant cultural resources has historically been a combination of data recovery excavation along with artifact analysis, reporting, and curation, whose purpose is to move the undertaking forward. Over the past several decades, there has been increased interest and understanding of alternative, or creative, mitigation options in these situations, which may, in the end, be the best option for the resource and more meaningful to both project stakeholders and the public. This article, the first in this special issue on creative mitigation, introduces the regulatory and conceptual framework for creative mitigation and weaves themes introduced in subsequent articles in this issue.
