The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have

    ABSTRACTS Abell, Julie (Parsons Engineering Science) and Brian Crane (Parsons Engineering Science) [16] HOUSEHOLD LIFE CYCLES AND CONSUMPTION PATTERNS IN ANTEBELLUM WASHINGTON, D.C. Recent data recovery investigations in downtown Washington, D.C. have yielded new data from antebellum yard deposits. Buried cultural strata from two archaeological sites -- under the city=s newly proposed convention center and its recently-opened sports arena -- date to when the nation=s capital was experiencing its initial wave of sustained residential and commercial growth. The families who settled in the city=s emerging urban core frequently were headed by relatively young, skilled workers, small business owners and government clerks who had come to Washington in the early years of their careers hoping to take advantage of the city=s burgeoning economy. This paper will discuss the results of these investigations in relation to other similarly-dated archaeological sites within the city=s downtown area, and emphasize how the age, marital status, and social standing of households in antebellum Washington may have affected their material consumption and disposal patterns. Adams, Keith W. [7] POPLAR FOREST: AGRICULTURAL MOSAIC AND LANDSCAPE NARRATIVE Unlike the documentary evidence for property boundaries or roads, there are fewer documents that directly portray the agricultural mosaic of Jefferson=s Poplar Forest: a landscape of field, meadow, and wood. Preserved records include several relatively well dated maps showing field boundaries and including annotations for crops in Jefferson=s hand writing. Additional records include memoranda to overseers about planting and labor allocation, as well as correspondence and memoranda about crops shipped, sold and purchased.
