Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Newell Farmstead (35MA41) archaeological site lies in the heart of the French Prairie in the Willamette Valley in the Champoeg State Heritage Area, Oregon. The integrity and depth of deposition have made the Newell site a unique opportunity to look at activity areas and domestic life of early Euro-American settlers in the early Oregon Country before statehood. Large block excavations have revealed a domestic structure with unique architectural features and one of the largest domestic assemblages of this era in Oregon. By using large block style excavations, exposing the interior and exterior of the household living surface, the author hopes to be able to show how the occupants of this household, the majority of whom were women and children, lived their day-to-day lives as active members of their household, in charge of domestic tasks, including childcare, farming, animal raising and indigenous traditional skills. Due to the patriarchal societies that most historical archaeologists research, many of the historical documents are written for, by or about men. Historical archaeologists often interpret archaeological sites as if these male head households were the only ones in the household contributing to the archaeological record or making any meaningful decisions in the past. However, the majority of historic domestic households were composed of women and children. I propose that in historical archaeology, we should look at the historical demography of the communities we study before we interpret who is present at the archaeological site, which can lead us to more of a holistic interpretation of these past populations.
Download or read book An Archaeological Analysis of the Architectural Artifacts and Features at the Robert Newell Homestead Site 35MA41 written by Emily Modelski and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis will explore the architectural material culture excavated at the Robert Newell Homestead (35MA41), currently located in Champoeg, Oregon. Specifically, the research focuses on the vernacular architecture or the features and construction methods used that both reflect the environment and the cultural traditions of the dwellings occupants. The Robert Newell homestead is a well preserved site that reflects the (1830s - 1860s) unique settlement history of Champoeg, Oregon, first settled by French Canadian fur trappers and slowly overcome by American homesteaders. As excavations took place at the site, it became clear that several periods of construction had occurred at the Robert Newell homestead reflecting both French Canadian and American cultural building traditions. These periods of construction are explored through a close examination of nails, bricks, window glass, and their frequency throughout the site as well as several well preserved architectural features. Many documents exploring cultural styles of construction, the history of the area and its growth, as well as the history of the homesteads occupants are also explored.
Download or read book A Settlement Model at the Robert Newel Farmstead 35MA41 French Prairie Oregon written by Mollie Jo Manion and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is based on the excavations of the Robert Newell farmstead (35MA41), excavated in 2002 and 2003 by the Oregon State University Department of Anthropology archaeological field school. Robert Newell lived at this farm from 1843- 1854. Major architectural features, including a brick hearth and postholes were discovered at the site. This is the first early historic site excavated with such intact architectural features since the Willamette Mission site found in the 1980s. The data from the excavation also revealed artifacts dating from the 1830s through the mid 1850s. I have hypothesized an occupation prior to 1843, when Robert Newell moved onto the property. Based on this hypothesis, a settlement model has been proposed for the site based on the analysis of the archival and archaeological data. I specifically propose that John Ball, Nathaniel Wyeth's farm workers and William Johnson occupied the site prior to Robert Newell's arrival in 1843.
Download or read book The Lost Boys of Zeta Psi written by Laurie A. Wilkie and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-04-02 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Boys of Zeta Psi takes us inside the secret, amusing, and sometimes mundane world of a California fraternity around 1900. Gleaning history from recent archaeological excavations and from such intriguing sources as oral histories, architecture, and photographs, Laurie A. Wilkie uncovers details of everyday life in the first fraternity at the University of California, Berkeley, and sets this story into the rich social and historical context of West Coast America at the turn of the last century. In particular, Wilkie examines men’s coming-of-age experiences in a period when gender roles and relations were undergoing dramatic changes. Her innovative study illuminates shifting notions of masculinity and at the same time reveals new insights about the inner workings of fraternal orders and their role in American society.
Download or read book Portland s Streetcars written by Richard Thompson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street railways arrived early in Portland and made lasting social and economic contributions that are still apparent in the layout and character of the citys neighborhoods today. During the 1890s, streetcar lines spread rapidly into the West Hills and across the Willamette River. The technological prowess of the growing Rose City was reflected in the largest horsecar in the Northwest, the second steepest cable car grade in the nation, the first true interurban railway, and an annual illuminated trolley parade. By the dawn of the 20th century, Portland could boast of the largest electric railway system in the West, as well as its first eight-wheeled streetcar. The streetcars lasted into the late 1950s here, and then, after a hiatus of nearly 30 years, were rediscovered by a new generation of urban planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some kids grow up fast. Some don't, and some never do. It's usually not the kid's choice. It's just the way things go. Mickey viewed the move to rural eastern Oregon as a new adventure, and indeed it was. Deer and rabbits to hunt, fish to catch, and horses to ride. Learn to operate a tractor and drive a car? As close to heaven as most 12 year old boys can get. Oh yes, and those "adult" things: whiskey, beer, chewing tobacco and cigarettes. Of course there were also the schoolyard bullies, but almost every kid has to put up with them, right? Tragedies and near tragedies. Sexual awakening. Young love, and the thrill and heartache that goes with it. Learning life's lessons: Some, taught by two extraordinary young women, were tender and gentle; other lessons learned were vicious and cruel. It's all a part of growing up. But then Mickey witnesses a horrifying crime and is forced to make choices that few men of any age will ever have to make. This is his story.
