Jefferies, Professor of Anthropology Lexington, Kentucky 2016 Copyright © Michael Jay Stottman 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION THE MAKING AND REMAKING OF PORTLAND: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF IDENTITY AND LANDSCAPE AT THE PORTLAND WHARF The town of Portland, Kentucky was founded over 200 years ago as a speculative venture to profit from its advantageous location at the base of the Falls of the Ohio River. The Portland Wharf was the economic and cultural heart of the town. Throughout its history, the community has experienced much change. These changes are visible in the landscape of the Portland Wharf which reflected changes in the community’s identity. Identity and landscape are topics that have been of great interest to archaeologists and this dissertation builds on previous works to examine identity as something that is reflected in the practices of people and can be unconscious, as well as overt. Identity can only become visible through contrast of differing aspects of culture, which is often created by researchers. The landscape is one place where the contrast necessary for making identity visible takes place, as it is where identities can be created, modified, and maintained. This study utilized archaeological, historical, and ethnographic data to examine changes to Portland’s identity and landscape over time. The archaeological analysis of deposits at two house lots at the Portland Wharf has allowed for a reconstruction of Portland’s historic landscape that when compared to that of Louisville created the necessary contrast to expose Portland’s independent identity. This identity was developed amongst Portland’s contentious and symbiotic relationship with Louisville and manifested in the landscape and the way privies were constructed. The process of identity continues present day, as the people of Portland reach into their past to deploy versions of history that are loosely based on events that are no longer materialized in the landscape when their identity is threatened. As the community plans to reanimate the Portland Wharf landscape to create and maintain identities based on the community’s past, archaeologists must recognize their role in the process of identity and I argue that such responsibility can and should be used for activist goals for the good of the community.

First, I want to thank my dissertation chairs, Dr. Richard Jefferies and Dr. Kim A. McBride, their insights and direction were essential. Next, I want to thank my complete dissertation committee and outside dissertation reviewer: Dr. Richard Jefferies, Dr. Kim A. McBride, Dr. Chris Pool, Dr. John van Willigen, Dr. Richard Schein, and Dr. Andrew Wood for all of their instructive comments. Their insights and comments improved this dissertation substantially and challenged me to make it a better scholarly work. I am especially grateful to Dr. Kim A. McBride, who has been my mentor since she first took a chance on championing my start in graduate school, I hope that I can live up to her fine example. I also would like to thank several instructors, who inspired me throughout my course work including Dr. Scott Hutson, Dr. Michael Crutcher, and Dr. Lisa Cliggett. I greatly appreciate the assistance of many friends and colleagues who provided comments and support throughout the process. Lori C. Stahlgren and my fellow activist archaeologists helped me greatly to work through the many writing obstacles. Thanks to Dr. Juliana McDonald for her insightful comments regarding applied anthropology methodologies. I am in debt to David Pollack and my colleagues at the Kentucky Archaeological Survey without whom I could not do activist archaeology. Archaeology is truly a collective effort and their skill and work were essential to the collection and processing of the rich data I used for this dissertation. They are more than colleagues they are true friends. iii I want to thank historian Rick Bell, Nathalie Andrews and Teresa Lee of the Portland Museum, and Chuck Parrish of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for all of their assistance collecting and compiling the vast archival resources available and their dedication to the Portland Wharf project. I also appreciate the efforts of John Swintosky of Louisville Metro Parks, for his endless and unwavering dedication and support for the Portland Wharf project. This dissertation could not have been completed without the people of Portland. Their willingness to help me and participate in public programs and interviews were essential. They are what this dissertation is all about. I also want to thank Hayward Wilkirson and Donna Gilbreath for producing the archaeological profile and map graphics used in this dissertation. Thanks to Tom Law and Voyager Media for locating some of the wonderful historical images used in this dissertation, taking the artifact photos as part of the KAS historical archaeology video, and the digital reconstructions created by the University of Cincinnati-CERHAS. The illustrations used throughout this dissertation were either in the public domain, or were created by myself or those previously acknowledged unless otherwise noted. The source of Illustrations was referenced when the original or published copy was not used. Finally, I want thank my family for all of their support during this process. Their sacrifice gave me the time and support I needed to complete this work, especially my wife Beth. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................ iii List of Tables ................................................................................................................... viii List of Figures .................................................................................................................... ix Chapter 1: Introduction .......................................................................................................1

DIARY OF WILLIAM OWEN From November 10, 1824, to April 20, 1825 EDITED BY JOEL W. HIATT LC INDIANAPOLIS: THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY. 1906. 601 25 Pat 14 F521 .I41 114026 08 iii PREFACE. 3 456 Part 2 8 The manuscript of this diary of William Owen has remained in the hands of his only daughter—formerly Mary Francis Owen, now Mrs. Joel W. Hiatt—for many years and its existence, save to a few, has been unknown. It is fragmentary in form. It is possibly the close of a journal which had been kept for years before. Its first sentence in the original is an incomplete one, showing that there was an antecedent portion. The picture of the times is so graphic than the Indiana Historical Society publishes it, on account of its historical value. Mr. Owen was 22 years old at the time of its composition. Diary of William Owen from November 10, 1824 to April 20, 1825 ed. by Joel W. Hiatt. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.14024 Library of Congress William Owen was the second of four sons born to Robert and Ann Caroline Owen, of Scotland. Their names were Robert Dale, William, David Dale, and Richard. Three of them, Robert Dale, David Dale and Richard are known where ever the sun shines on the world of literature or science. William, who, because of habit or for his own amusement, wrote this diary is not known to fame.

  • Architectural Significance
    Historic Significance Photo Source: Vegetable Market on Delaware Street, 1905, Indiana Historical Society Collection 33 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan 34 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE City Planning and Development Carved out of the Northwest Territory, Indiana entered the Union as the nineteenth state in 1816. The city of Indianapolis was founded in 1821 as the state capital, when the Indiana State Legisla- ture sought a central location for the city and appointed a committee to choose the site. Once the site was chosen surveyors Alexander Ralston and Elias Fordham were hired to lay out the city, which was proposed as a grid of north-south and east-west streets in a mile square plat. This plat was influenced by the Pierre L’Enfant plan for Washington, D.C., which in turn was in- spired by the royal residence of Versailles. Since Indianapolis was planned as a state capital, the plat sited the State House Square and the Court House Square equidistant from Circle Street (now Monument Circle), located in the center of the Mile Square. The Governor’s house was to be situ- ated in the circular lot framed by Circle Street, and the four city blocks framing the Circle were known as the “Governor’s Square.” Four diagonal streets radiated out from the far corners of the four blocks framing the circle. All streets of the Mile Square were 90 feet wide with the exception of Washington Street, which was 120 feet wide to accommodate its intended use as the capital’s main street. The sale of lots in the new capital city on October 8, 1821 reveal the street’s importance, as lots fronting it com- manded the highest prices.

  • LOUISVILLE DOWNTOWN Revitalization Team ACTION PLAN
    LOUISVILLE DOWNTOWN Revitalization Team ACTION PLAN 1 FOREWORD This Action Plan showcases the work of a 100+ member team of Louisvillians committed to accelerating downtown Louisville’s recovery following 15 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, including social justice protests, both of which changed our collective lives in downtown. On January 14, 2021, Mayor Greg Fischer announced the creation of the Downtown Revitalization Team at his annual State of the City address, laying out some of the hopes, challenges, and opportunities in the new year ahead. Mayor Fischer called on Louisvillians to reimagine, revitalize, and restore downtown to a thriving and inclusive place for residents, employers, and tourists. The Team is a diverse group of business owners, industry leaders, residents, and community partners who came together in six committees over the course of six months to tackle some of downtown’s most challenging problems. After agreeing to a charter which guided the formation of this Action Plan, committees met at least twice a month, first in small break out groups to discuss issues ranging from public safety, vacant and underutilized office space, tourism, arts & culture, diversity, equity & inclusion, small businesses, downtown residents, and the messaging and perception of downtown. During the second monthly meetings, committee leaders shared the ideas that had emerged during committee discussion, committee goals, and the action steps needed to be taken to move from concept to reality. As the depth of work increased, so did the cross-collaboration across committees, which was anchored by the guidance of the project Steering Committee, a group of twelve dedicated community leaders.

  • Trees in the City: Valuing Street Trees in Portland, Oregon
    Trees in the city: Valuing street trees in Portland, Oregon Geoffrey H. Donovana,*, David T. Butryb ABSTRACT We use a hedonic price model to simultaneously estimate the effects of street trees on the sales price and the time-on-market (TOM) of houses in Portland. Oregon. On average. street trees add $8870 to sales price and reduce TOM by 1.7 days. In addition. we found that the benefits of street trees spill over to neighboring houses. Because the provision and maintenance of street trees in Portland is the responsibility of adjacent property owners, our results suggest that if the provision of street trees is left solely to homeowners, then there will be too few street trees from a societal perspective.
