“…Whereas Charleston's urban plan was a communal platform for the display of civic order, private residences were stages for the aspirations of gentility and refinement away from the central mercantile and commercial urban channels. The Charleston Single House was the preferred genteel urban form, complete with a central passage and entry piazza that was oriented with the gable end to the street frontage (see Herman 1997Herman , 2005McInnis 2005). These edifices of elite status were a part of larger ''urban plantations'' that reproduced the social, racial, and spatial relationships of 18th-and 19th-century southern society, where slaveowning Anglo-Americans created landscapes of surveillance over enslaved Africans (Vlach 1999).…”

Archaeology is ideally suited for examining the deep roots of urbanism, its materialization and physicality, and the commonalities and variability in urban experiences cross-culturally and temporally. We propose that the significant advances archaeologists have made in situating the discipline within broader urban studies could be furthered through increased dialog between scholars working on urbanism during prehistoric and historical periods, as a means of bridging concerns in the study of the past and present. We review some major themes in urban studies by presenting archaeological cases from two areas of the Americas: central Mexico and Atlantic North America. Our cases span premodern and early modern periods, and three of the four covered in greatest depth live on as cities of today. Comparison of the cases highlights the complementarity of their primary datasets: the long developmental trajectories and relatively intact urban plans offered by many prehistoric cities, and the rich documentary sources offered by historic cities.

1. London, British Library, Sloane MS 3926. 2. Loftfield 2001. 3. The term 'creolisation' will be examined in more depth further on. At this stage it is sufficientalthough not particularly nuanced -to suggest that the process of creolisation is related to the admixture of cultural traits as opposed to emphasising the recognition of distinct imported social and cultural identities of individual and cultural traditions at the expense of others. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the noun 'creole' as relating to (a) the descendants of European settlers, particularly those of Spanish and/or French origin in the Americas; or (b) hybrid languages formed from local and settler tongues; or (c) a person of mixed European or African descent in the Caribbean. Adjectivally, it would imply hybridisation or mixing. 4. In fact, the earliest forms of local Barbadian pottery are not to be found on Barbados, but in Continental North America at the site of Charles Towne (Brunswick County, South Carolina), a site founded by settlers from Barbados and occupied only briefly during the period 1664-7;
