Teapots in the Tempest: Ceramics and Military Order at 18th-Century Fort Stanwix Elizabeth Anne Scholz Charlotte, North Carolina Bachelor of Arts, Hamilton College, 2013 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the College of William and Mary in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology The College of William and Mary August, 2016 By Elizabeth A. Scholz 2016 ABSTRACT Historically, there has been significant interest in examining sites of conflict. Recent studies in historic conflict archaeology have contributed to scholars’ understanding of military sites, specific battles, and sites of sieges and encampments. Archaeological excavations at 18th-century Fort Stanwix in Rome, New York have uncovered a rich assemblage that has facilitated the reconstruction of the fort; however, it is a careful analysis of the artifacts recovered during this process that can help scholars explore the daily lives of the inhabitants at the fort.
