About this product

Product Information

A fascinating study of American life and an explanation of how American life is studied through the everyday details of ordinary living, colorfully depicting a world hundreds of years in the past. History is recorded in many ways. According toauthor James Deetz, the past can be seen most fully by studying the small things so often forgotten.Objects such as doorways, gravestones, musicalinstruments, and even shards of pottery fill in thecracks between large historical events and depict the intricacies of daily life. In his completely revised and expanded edition of In Small Things Forgotten , Deetz has added new sections that more fully acknowledge the presence of women and African Americans in Colonial America. New interpretations of archaeological finds detail how minorities influenced and were affected by the development of the Anglo-American tradition in the years following the settlers' arrival inPlymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. Among Deetz'sobservations- Subtle changes in building long before the Revolutionary War hinted at the growing independence of the American colonies and their desire to beless like theBritish. Records of estate auctions show that manyhouseholds in Colonial America contained only onechair-underscoring the patriarchal nature of theearly American family. All other members of thehousehold sat on stools or thefloor. The excavation of a tiny community offreed slaves in Massachusetts reveals evidence ofthe transplantation of African culture to NorthAmerica.

    Great for anyone studying/interpreting material culture.

    I purchased this for a college history course, American Material Culture. The book is short and easy to read, and provides information on how to interpret a piece of material culture. The author uses interesting information to keep the reader interested. The book was controversial at the time of its publication because the author argues that “the written word” should not be the only source that historians or researchers use to interpret an event or time period; material artifacts provide much additional information that can either support or contradict written historical accounts. If the reader is interested in history, he will find this book interesting and will likely find its argument influential in how he approaches artifacts from the past.

    Historic Archaeology

    This is an excellent book about historic archaeology - something I knew nothing about. Historic Archaeology is more recent archaelogy that can be more specifically pinned to a time period using written records and artifiacts at the site that we now the exact dates of manufacture of - for example pottery and pipestems. Fascinating reading, although at times a bit slow reading. The book covers the United States from the time of the English invasion to more recent times. I enjoyed the new knowledge!
