Scales of historical anthropology: an archaeology of colonial Anglo-America

Abstract

The belief that the great issues of social existence can be well addressed by studying the minutiae of domestic life is a theme in the influential work of some recent French historians, as it is in James Deetz's little classic of historical archaeology, In small things forgotten. And it chimes with the ‘post-processual’ concern to see how people structured their lives and how those structures reflect and and are reflected in relations of power and control. These issues are here explored in the domestic possessions of 18th-century Marylanders.
