Maryland Day 2016 celebration Posted by tbnBBM On 03/11/2016 Celebrate Marylands Anniversary at Historic St. Mary’s City, Saturday, March 19, 2016. Joining us this year is the Pride II which will take part in Maryland Day commemorative events at Historic St. Mary’s City on Saturday, March 19, 2016, beginning at 1:00pm. A procession with the Liberty Tree cross will start at 12:45 aboard Pride II and end at the chapel on the grounds of Historic St. Mary’s City. The event will also feature the opening of a new exhibit in the chapel. This exhibit is of the three lead coffins that held the remains of Maryland’s founding family: Philip Calvert, his wife, Ann Wolsey Calvert, and an infant. The coffins will be visible through a glass floor so that visitors can see this extremely rare example of early Maryland history. Representatives from the Society of The Ark and The Dove will be on-hand as well as descendants of the Calvert family. “Only five lead coffins from the 17th century are known to exist in North America, and all five are in St. Mary’s City,” says Maryland Historical Society President and CEO Mark B. Letzer. “We are proud to take part in this special observance, as well as mark the final resting place of these important people.” The ceremony will feature the presentation of the museum’s prestigious Cross Botany Award to two of the premier Forensic Anthropologists in the United States. Dr. Douglas Owsley, chair of the Anthropology Department at the Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution and his assistant Ms. Kari Bruwelheide have studied the remains of Maryland’s founders excavated from the Chapel site for over 25 years. Their work has yielded important new discoveries about the first Marylanders and produced key clues regarding the people buried in the lead coffins which allowed them to be identification as members of Lord Baltimore’s family. Two of the most significant founding documents of Maryland will also be on display: Father Andrew White's account of the voyage of the Ark and Dove in 1634 and a letter written by the first governor, Leonard Calvert. This marks the first time these documents have returned to St. Mary's City since they were dispatched to England in 1634. Maryland Historical Society Chief Curator, Alexandra Deutsch, will provide remarks on these documents. There will also be a Presentation of the Flags from fourth grade students from each county in Maryland, beginning with the newest and proceeding to the oldest county. Several of the state’s leading politicians are expected to attend. All events March 19 will be free and open to the public. This includes the procession and dock tours aboard Pride II and her maritime ancestor, the Maryland Dove. It also includes the unveiling of the exhibit within the chapel.

Maryland first celebrated its founding in 1834 and has continued to do so in 50 year intervals. The pattern for celebrating thus established, Maryland was ready as 1984 approached to look back with pride on 350 years of political, social and cultural achievement. As in previous an- niversaries, the celebration of the past became an affirmation of the future. To prepare the state for its 1984 celebration, the 1982 General Assembly of Maryland passed a resolution (Appendix i) creating the 350 Coordinating Com- mittee which subsequently became the Maryland Heritage Committee.

Maryland's Lower Choptank River Cultural Resource Inventory
Maryland’s Lower Choptank River Cultural Resource Inventory by Ralph E. Eshelman and Carl W. Scheffel, Jr. “So long as the tides shall ebb and flow in Choptank River.” From Philemon Downes will, Hillsboro, circa 1796 U.S. Geological Survey Quadrangle 7.5 Minute Topographic maps covering the Lower Choptank River (below Caroline County) include: Cambridge (1988), Church Creek (1982), East New Market (1988), Oxford (1988), Preston (1988), Sharp Island (1974R), Tilghman (1988), and Trappe (1988). Introduction The Choptank River is Maryland’s longest river of the Eastern Shore. The Choptank River was ranked as one of four Category One rivers (rivers and related corridors which possess a composite resource value with greater than State signific ance) by the Maryland Rivers Study Wild and Scenic Rivers Program in 1985. It has been stated that “no river in the Chesapeake region has done more to shape the character and society of the Eastern Shore than the Choptank.” It has been called “the noblest watercourse on the Eastern Shore.” Name origin: “Chaptanck” is probably a composition of Algonquian words meaning “it flows back strongly,” referring to the river’s tidal changes1 Geological Change and Flooded Valleys The Choptank River is the largest tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern shore and is therefore part of the largest estuary in North America. This Bay and all its tributaries were once non-tidal fresh water rivers and streams during the last ice age (15,000 years ago) when sea level was over 300 feet below present. As climate warmed and glaciers melted northward sea level rose, and the Choptank valley and Susquehanna valley became flooded.

Smoke on the Water: an Historical Archaeological Assessment of Maritime Sources of Productivity Change in the Early English Tobacco Trade
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Smoke on the Water: An Historical Archaeological Assessment of Maritime Sources of Productivity Change in the Early English Tobacco Trade by Scott A. Tucker Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 ii UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Doctor of Philosophy SMOKE ON THE WATER: AN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF MARITIME SOURCES OF PRODUCTIVITY CHANGE IN THE EARLY ENGLISH TOBACCO TRADE by Scott A. Tucker This thesis explores the interaction of numerous factors affecting economic productivity in England’s 17th-century tobacco trade with its Chesapeake colonies, particularly with an eye to transatlantic shipping. This is achieved here through the use of a network inspired analytical framework to provide an assessment of a range of elements surrounding the trade over the course of the 17th century, how these elements interacted, and the degree to which they affected the overall productivity tobacco market. Data used to these means include the extant body of relevant literature, historical documentation, archaeological data, and a case study of an archaeological site near St. Mary’s City, Maryland, USA investigated for the purpose of this thesis. The tobacco economy is examined and analysed based on various inputs, along with various social and political factors. Settlement patterning is studied through geo-spatial archaeological data from Maryland to identify possible causes for the shift in the tobacco collection model from a plantation- front based system to a central warehouse model. Through this, it is argued that the dominant driver for this change was a spread of plantations to more inland sites owing to population growth as the dominant cause.

Maryland Archeology Month 2018 Sponsors
Maryland Archeo logy Month 2018 CHARTING THE PAST: 30 Y EARS OF EXPLORING MARYLAND’S SUBMERGED HISTORY You are cordially invited to join Maryland Governor Larry Hogan in celebrating April 2018 as “Maryland Archeology Month” April 2018 1 Charting the Past: 30 Years of Exploring Maryland's Submerged History Some of us like to experience our archeological adventures in a corn or soybean field, breathing fresh country air (I confess!), while others prefer to don a wet suit, strap a bottle of canned air on their backs, and dive into the murky and mysterious underwater realm. Crazy? Not at all. Putting aside the lure of sunken treasure, with all of its attendant ethical issues, there is nevertheless something captivating and engrossing about humankind’s use of the sea that is so heroic as to be inspiring, and so frightening as to be thrilling. For thousands of years our kind have plied the seas in pursuit of discovery, trade, and travel. The commodities of the ages have moved across the seas. Most of the time such endeavors ended well, but often enough that a subdiscipline of archeology is devoted to it, ships floundered. These submerged time-capsules represent a frozen moment in history, and can be great fodder for archeological inquiry. In Maryland, we have a rich maritime history that begins thousands of years ago with Native Americans moving steatite and rhyolite from source areas in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge provinces west of the Bay to the Eastern Shore by canoe. From earliest Colonial times, European settlers made their homes along Maryland waters, as seafaring represented cutting edge transportation that allowed communication and commerce with the homes left behind in the Old World.
