Book excerpt: The Delaware Valley is a distinct region situated within the Middle Atlantic states, encompassing portions of Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. With its cultural epicenter of Philadelphia, its surrounding bays and ports within Maryland and Delaware, and its conglomerate population of European settlers, Native Americans, and enslaved Africans, the Delaware Valley was one of the great cultural hearths of early America. The region felt the full brunt of the American Revolution, briefly served as the national capital in the post-Revolutionary period, and sheltered burgeoning industries amidst the growing pains of a young nation. Yet, despite these distinctions, the Delaware Valley has received less scholarly treatment than its colonial equals in New England and the Chesapeake region. In Historical Archaeology of the Delaware Valley, 1600–1850, Richard Veit and David Orr bring together fifteen essays that represent the wide range of cultures, experiences, and industries that make this region distinctly American in its diversity. From historic-period American Indians living in a rapidly changing world to an archaeological portrait of Benjamin Franklin, from an eighteenth-century shipwreck to the archaeology of Quakerism, this volume highlights the vast array of research being conducted throughout the region. Many of these sites discussed are the locations of ongoing excavations, and archaeologists and historians alike continue to debate the region’s multifaceted identity. The archaeological stories found within Historical Archeology of the Delaware Valley, 1600–1850 reflect the amalgamated heritage that many American regions experienced, though the Delaware Valley certainly exemplifies a richer experience than most: it even boasts the palatial home of a king (Joseph Bonaparte, elder brother of Napoleon and former King of Naples and Spain). This work, thoroughly based on careful archaeological examination, tells the stories of earlier generations in the Delaware Valley and makes the case that New England and the Chesapeake are not the only cultural centers of colonial America.

Book excerpt: Studies in Archaeology: Shawnee Minisink: A Stratified Paleoindian-Archaic Site in the Upper Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania focuses on the excavation of the Shawnee Minisink and its connection with the lifestyles of the earliest inhabitants of North America. The selection first offers information on the Upper Delaware Valley Early Man Project, early history of archaeological research at the Shawnee Minisink Site, and methodology and research design at the Shawnee Minisink Site. Discussions focus on data recovery design, evaluation of methodology, research context, and goals. The text then examines the biophysical conditions of the Upper Delaware Valley; aboriginal subsistence and site ecology as interpreted from microfloral and faunal remains; and artifact morphology and chronology at the Shawnee Minisink Site. The book takes a look at myth, reality, and the Upper Delaware Valley, Paleoindian artifact form and function at Shawnee Minisink, and Paleoindian to early archaic transition at the Shawnee Minisink Site. Topics include environmental setting, lithic analysis results, secondary modifications, hafting, endscraper distributional pattern, analytic technique and procedure, and paleoecological reconstruction. The selection is a dependable reference for archeologists wanting to conduct further studies on the Shawnee Minisink Site.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archaeology of the Delaware Valley, Vol. 5 The following year until July was spent in exploring the Valley above Trenton, and in examining caves and rock-shelters then I was one of a party sent to explore the earthworks in the Little Miami Valley, Ohio; I returned in the fall to continue my work along the Delaware. In the Spring of 1891, a special arrangement was made to explore for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where, in 1893 the results of the two years' work were exhibited and are now in the Field Museum of N atural History. The Peabody Museum then continued the work until 1895. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archaeology of the Delaware Valley, Vol. 5 For twenty-two years Mr. Ernest Volk, working under my general direction, has been engaged in archaeological researches in the Delaware valley at Trenton and vicinity. The geological features of this region have made it a Mecca for students of glacial geology, for many years, and it has been the site of many controversies. To this day no perfect accord has been reached as to the age of the clays, sands and gravels which were deposited there during the glacial period and at its close. It has not been the purpose of Mr. Volk to enter into any controversy as to the age of the Trenton gravel and sand, nor to make special geological researches, but simply to ascertain if there are unquestionable evidences of man's occupation at the time contemporary with the deposits during any portion of the glacial period and its immediate close. To this end, my directions to Mr. Volk have been to examine every exposure of the sand and gravel; to watch for stones that had even the slightest appearance of being in any way artificial and possibly the handiwork of man; and to look for any bones of man or animals. In complying with these instructions, Mr. Volk has examined many thousand square yards of exposures and has sliced away, with a trowel, several thousand cubit feet of the sand and gravel. That this work has been done faithfully and conscientiously, no one can doubt after reading the following pages. That the reader, not familiar with the glacial geology of the region, may have a general conception of it, Mr. Volk has begun his report with a brief summary of the geological conditions as he interprets them. In order to understand the whole archaeology of the region, several old Indian sites and others of comparatively recent date, have been explored, and a large amount of material has been gathered for comparison with that of an earlier time.
