Book excerpt: The report summarizes archeological investigations of Sharpley's Bottom historic sites on the Tombigbee Water-way in Monroe County, Mississippi. Formerly the location of a 1,400-acre slave plantation, Sharpley's Bottom became a tenant farming community which endured in relative isolation and economic deprivation from the 1860s until around 1960 when cotton cultivation was no longer profitable for landlords on the Tombigbee. Phase I archeological survey conducted in 1980 located 21 historic sites in Sharpley's Bottom. Phase II archeological field work conducted in 1981 tested 11 of those sites to evaluate site integrity and to address research questions regarding the transition from slavery to tenancy, the expansion of cash crop tenancy in the Bottom, and changes in tenant economic status. Though rich archival evidence on cotton tenancy was discovered and reported separately in Phase II historical investigations, the archeological field work and analysis did not produce sufficient material culture data to reconstruct a picture of antebellum slave life, nor could the sparse archeological record be used to generate significant conclusions regarding site by site distinctions in tenant life or changes in tenant life overtime. For these reasons, additional Phase III archeological investigations were not recommended. Despite the project's recovery of a meager artifact assemblage, the examination of Sharpley's Bottom material culture has recorded the perserverance of a tenant farming community which survived for a century after the Civil War, and the study has raised important questions concerning archeological visibility and salvage within the context of the sustained rural poverty of cotton tenancy.

Book excerpt: This report discusses 1980-1981 Phase I interdisciplinary investigations of the Sharpley's Bottom historic sites on the Tombigbee Waterway in Monroe County, Mississippi. Sharpley's Bottom is so named because of its occupation from the 1860s to the 1880s by W.B. Sharpley, a white slaveholder who cohabited with one of his slaves and later willed his Bottom Land to his mixed race children. The study has been distinguished by the wealth of historical material available on the Bottom, by the use of black and white oral historians respectively to interview black and white informants, and by the use of specialists in history, folk housing and oral history to assist in the archeological survey and interpretation of the historic sites. The methods and training of history, folk culture and historical archeology have been combined to analyze how an isolated and predominantly black community of tenant farmers evolved after the abolition of slavery and how that community endured until the demise of cotton tenancy. The report concludes with recommendations for Phase II historical and oral history research and for intensive investigation of 14 of the 22 located historic sites.
