MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE The Archeology Of Bathhouse Row, Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas By William J. Hunt, Jr. Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No. 102 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Midwest Archeological Center United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2008 hot sprinGS ABSTRACT For many, the oldest “park” managed by the federal government is not Yellowstone National Park (set aside in 1872) but Hot Springs National Park (HOSP) in Arkansas. Congress set aside the hot springs and adjoining mountains here as a federal reservation in 1832 to protect the resource and preserve it for public use. For centuries before this, the hot springs may have used by Native Americans, their occupations having little impact on the resource. But with EuroAmerican use, this began to change. At first, the area around springs saw little change but after the Civil War, development began in earnest. The hot waters from the springs were harnessed and forced to flow to a series of ever larger and more extravagant bathhouses built on the east side of Hot Springs Creek. Native American use and over 210 years of EuroAmerican occupation has created the potential for the existence of significant prehistoric and historic archeological resources at HOSP. Until recently, archeological exploration of the park has been sporadic and this is especially true for Bathhouse Row. This report provides an overview and analysis of the 2003 to 2004 archeological investigations in Bathhouse Row, the Grand Balustrade, and the Promenade. These structures and facilities are located in Garland County at the heart of the City of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Hot Springs National Park is administered by the National Park Service. Bathhouse Row was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987. It is considered a threatened resource by the National Park Service. Initiation of stabilization and rehabilitation of six of the eight bathhouses on Bathhouse Row in 2003 set the stage for the Midwest Archeological Center (MWAC) to investigate areas of the park sealed off by decades of development. Investigative goals were to: 1) create a historic, to-scale base map incorporating all known structures; 2) monitor ground disturbing construction actions inside and outside the six bathhouses (excluding the Fordyce and Buckstaff); 3) conduct test excavations as necessary to identify and evaluate buried cultural resources as they were encountered; 4) officially record discovered cultural resources as archeological sites with the Arkansas Archeological Survey. These goals were accomplished over six months of intermittent work. Subsequent to the recovery of 4621 artifacts from four locations and discovery of 19th century structural features in four of the bathhouses, five archeological sites were recorded with the Arkansas Archeological Survey. The sites’ conditions, disturbance and threats were evaluated. All were determined to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. A summary of findings is presented and is followed by recommendations to Park managers for future investigations focused on resource identification and actions designed to enhance archeological resource preservation, protection, and interpretation. i hot sprinGS ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project is the product of the labor of many individuals. Grateful appreciation is extended to Midwest Regional Director Ernest Quintana, HOSP Superintendent Josie Fernandez, and HOSP Assistant Superintendent Dale Moss for supporting this project. Thanks go to HOSP Facility Manager Leonard Lawson and his staff for their support while my crews and I were in the park. The Maintenance staff went far beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome and provided every assistance to help us get our work done efficiently, safely, and as comfortably as possible in what were difficult working conditions. Among Larson’s staff, I would particularly like to mention the assistance of HOSP Maintenance Mechanic Jack Thompson and his crew. Thanks also to Lisa Garvin, HOSP Chief of Cultural Resources, and her dedicated staff with special appreciation noted for the assistance and hospitality of HOSP Park Ranger Mark Blaeuer and HOSP Museum Specialist Sharon Shugart. Blaeuer and Shugart were more than helpful throughout the planning and implementation of this project. They made themselves available throughout my numerous visits providing advice and information on park history and archeology whenever I came knocking on their doors. They have also provided much of the historic information and many of the illustrative materials used in this report. At the Midwest Archeological Center, I want to thank Tom Thiessen who was at that time MWAC Parks Archeology Program Manager for his direction and leadership during this project. Finally, I must certainly acknowledge MWAC Manager Mark Lynott, MWAC Administrative Officer Bonnie Farkas, and the rest of MWAC’s fine staff in Lincoln, Nebraska, for all their help without which this project would never have been completed. Finally, it should be noted that Larich Inc., Bolin Enterprises Inc., and Power Lift Inc. management and personnel were extremely helpful throughout the course of the fieldwork. Larich was the primary contractor for the stabilization project. Bolin Enterprises Inc., and Power Lift Inc. were subcontractors for the initial stabilization of Maurice and Lamar Bathhouse foundations and structures. I was particularly grateful to be able to work closely with Bolin Enterprises and Power Lift owners and project supervisors. Their crews were often forced to work around the archeology crews. They did so without complaint and often provided assistance when needed to help complete the archeological tasks in a timely fashion. William J.

The oldest known ceramics are animal and human figures that date to around 24,000BC. • Ceramics are used for many purposes - vases, tiles and sculptures. One of the most common uses is for tableware - plates, bowls, cups etc. • Ceramics can be for practical or decorative purposes – or both at the same time! • Ceramics can be made by one person or in a factory, where groups of people design, make and decorate the objects.

By 1784 Spode was using his improved printing process to create lovely designs on this new pearl ware. For the first time a potter was making quality earthenware with beautiful designs, which would not wear off or fade from use, as they were under the glaze. It was tableware that was both durable and affordable and a mass market was born. y Transfer Printing rust.)

Her generation at the RCA – an outstanding cohort which artist and RCA tutor Paul Nash (1889–1946) subsequently hymned as ‘an outbreak of talent’ – included her close friends Eric Ravilious (1903–1942) and Edward Bawden (1903–1989), as well as future giants of British painting such as John Piper (1902–1992). Marx’s own artistic talents were prodigious: she excelled as a textile designer, an author, designer and illustrator of children’s books, a printmaker and a painter.

Miller, Superintendent, Hot Springs National Park With the advent of modern medicine and the decline of bathing as a therapeutic treatment, the remaining four bathhouses closed in the 1970s and ‘80s, and then suffered from decades of disinvestment. In the mid-2000s, the park secured $12 million to replace roofs, remediate lead paint, address structural and life safety deficiencies, and upgrade utilities, but additional investment was still needed. Section 111 of the National Historic Preservation Act allows federal agencies to lease historic property to the private sector, and through a formal process, the park sought out proposals for commercial uses.

    MUZEUL NAŢIONAL Vol. XX 2008 COLLECTING CANADIAN HAND PAINTED PORCELAIN FROM THE 1880’S ONWARDS1 O COLECŢIE DE PORŢELAN PICTAT DE MÂNĂ ÎN CANADA DE LA 1880 PÂNĂ ÎN PREZENT Paula Gornescu-Vachon* Abstract After being practiced in the large factories of Europe, the art of decorating porcelain became an amateur domestic industry especially for women. In Canada, it mostly remained a feminine specialty that was linked to the Arts and Crafts Movement introduced into the country in the last quarter of the 19th century. Because the movement was North American in scope, it is important to compare developments in Canada with those in the United States. On the Canadian scene, the brothers John and James Griffiths were largely responsible for spreading of this “professional” hobby. The Cabot Commemorative State Dinner Service presented in 1898 to Lady Aberdeen, the Governor General’s wife, exemplifies the degree of skill attained by Canadian women artists of the time. The article highlights the achievements of several artists in the field from its beginnings in Canada. Key words: china painting, Canadian hand painted china, collectibles hand painted china porcelain, Canadian Historical Dinner Service, Alice Mary Hagen After being practiced in large factories in Europe, the art of decorating porcelain became an amateur domestic industry for many women. In Canada, this art, in which women were the most active, was linked to the Art and Crafts Movement introduced into the country in the last quarter of the 19th century. The movement was North American in scope, which inevitably leads us to compare the Canadian scene with developments across the border in the United States.
