Our discussion of the state’s agricultural heritage is root- ed in its geography, dividing the state into six regions: the Ridge and Valley, Mountains, Piedmont, Upper Coastal Plan, Central Coastal Plan, and Sea Islands and Coast. Understanding the cultural manifestations of this agrarian past is the objective of this context. Agricultural sites consist of three components: below-ground - the archaeological evidences of earlier occupants and struc- tures no longer standing; above-ground - the dwellings, barns, and outbuildings which contribute much of what we think of as agricultural sites today; and the ground itself - the remnants of a cultural landscape expressed in 1 TILLING THE EARTH the locations of fields, orchards, and other human a familiar past, for those of us born in the post World imprints.

THE ATLANTIC MIND: ZEPHANIAH KINGSLEY, SLAVERY, AND THE POLITICS OF RACE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD by MARK J. FLESZAR Under the Direction of Dr. Jared Poley and Dr. H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT Enlightenment philosophers had long feared the effects of crisscrossing boundaries, both real and imagined. Such fears were based on what they considered a brutal ocean space frequented by protean shape-shifters with a dogma of ruthless exploitation and profit. This intellectual study outlines the formation and fragmentation of a fluctuating worldview as experienced through the circum-Atlantic life and travels of merchant, slaveowner, and slave trader Zephaniah Kingsley during the Era of Revolution. It argues that the process began from experiencing the costs of loyalty to the idea of the British Crown and was tempered by the pervasiveness of violence, mobility, anxiety, and adaptation found in the booming Atlantic markets of the Caribbean during the Haitian Revolution.

  • From the Vaults, February 2017
    FROM The VAULTS Newsletter of the Georgia Archives www.GeorgiaArchives.org Volume 2, No. 1 February 2017 The Georgia Archives Building State Historian and Archives Director Louise Hays thought that the Georgia Archives would be preparing to move to a new building on the Capitol Square with the State Library and perhaps the Supreme Court as soon as World War II was over. It took another twenty years, a new State Archivist (Mary Givens Bryan), and a new Secretary of State (Ben W. Fortson, Jr.) to complete the white marble structure on Capitol Avenue. The Archives had moved from the fourth floor of the Capitol in 1929 and 1930 to the twenty-room mansion donated by the heirs of furniture magnate Amos G. Rhodes at 1516 Peachtree Street NW. From the beginning it was obvious that a fireproof building designed as an archives would be preferable to Rhodes Hall. Governor Lamartine Griffin Hardman in 1931 proposed carving a giant records storage facility into the core of Stone Mountain.

  • TABBY: the ENDURING BUILDING MATERIAL of COASTAL GEORGIA by TAYLOR P. DAVIS (Under Direction of Dr. Reinberger)
    TABBY: THE ENDURING BUILDING MATERIAL OF COASTAL GEORGIA by TAYLOR P. DAVIS (Under direction of Dr. Reinberger) ABSTRACT Tabby is a unique building material found along the coast of the Southeastern United States. This material is all that remains above grade of many past coastal cultures and illustrates much of the history of Coastal Georgia. In this master’s thesis, I present the following areas of research: 1) an explanation of the history and origins of the different generations of tabby, 2) a list of historical tabby sites that I feel are pertinent to its history and cultural significance, and 3) the production of samples of tabby through historical means and the analysis of their compressive strength. With these three concentrations of study, I am able to compile new information on this culturally significant building material.
