After nearly two decades of investigations at Fort St. Joseph, historical archaeologists have revealed the contours of everyday life at one of the most important French colonial outposts in the western Great Lakes region. Initially founded as a mission along the St. Joseph River in the 1680s, the French soon established a settlement amidst their Miami and Potawatomi allies, and the site became a strategic stronghold before it was abandoned in 1781. For many years, the site eluded archaeological discovery, until 1998 when Western Michigan University archaeologists identified material evidence of the long-lost Fort. In 2002, after a century of searching for the Fort, subsurface testing revealed undisturbed archaeological deposits in the form of fireplaces, pits, and trash middens—definitive material evidence of Fort St. Joseph. Under the auspices of the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project, subsequent fieldwork and analysis have focused on examining the materiality of the Fort and the relationships between the Fort residents and local native populations. Fort St. Joseph Revealed employs archaeological and documentary sources to examine the history and culture of a fur trade society on the frontier of New France. This collection of papers is the first compilation of analyses derived from documents, cultural features, plant and animal remains, and various artifacts both to explore the importance of Fort St. Joseph in the past and in the present and to synthesize data on the colonial frontier from the perspective of a single place in the western Great Lakes region.Less

It is one of the incidents of a power of arrest that if police officers lawfully arrest a man for a felony (now an ‘arrestable offence’) they can go to his house: and search for and seize any goods which they reasonably believe to be material evidence in relation to the crime for which they arrest. For instance, whenever a man is arrested for stealing, it is everyday practice to go to his house and see whether the stolen goods are there. But when the police have not arrested a man, and seek to enter his house or anyone else's house — so as to find evidence against him or anyone else — they have to rely either on the common law or they must get a search warrant authorizing them to do so. Each of these situations has been the subject of leading cases in recent years.Less

Elite Romans periodically chose to limit or destroy the memory of a leading citizen who was deemed an unworthy member of the community. Sanctions against memory could lead to the removal or mutilation of portraits and public inscriptions. The author of this book provides the first chronological overview of the development of this Roman practice—an instruction to forget—from archaic times into the second century a.d. She explores Roman memory sanctions against the background of Greek and Hellenistic cultural influence and in the context of the wider Mediterranean world. Combining literary texts, inscriptions, coins, and material evidence, this richly illustrated study contributes to a deeper understanding of Roman political culture.Less

This book has explored daily life, locality, and improvisational practice as elements of an archaeology of the colonised, and how archaeology's material evidence illuminates diverse colonial processes in sites where arbitrations of policy, identity, and belonging occurred. It has also shown how archaeological studies of the colonised illuminate their social distance from the coloniser, actively produced through or eroded by daily practice. In this concluding chapter, the importance of other vantage points on colonialism is emphasised. More specifically, it argues for more encompassing vantage points that provide persuasive empirical support for the general proposition that Europeans were just as fully made through colonial processes as were those they colonised, and that takes into account the value of an archaeology of broader colonial theatres for understanding both ‘precolonial’ and ‘colonial’ pasts. The chapter also considers the ‘unfinished process of becoming’.Less
