Publication date: May 4, 2021

This book provides an overview of the extensive and varied archaeological findings that have emerged over the past five decades of exploration at St. Mary’s City, a site of historical significance as it served as the first capital of Maryland and one of the earliest European settlements in the United States. Established in 1634, this colonial hub vanished by 1750, but the archaeological revelations presented in “Unearthing St. Mary’s City” unveil its largely untold history.

The contributors to this volume introduce fresh research methodologies and techniques that have been developed in recent years at Historic St. Mary’s City. They scrutinize the archaeology, architectural structures, and the people who inhabited this vibrant seventeenth-century colonial town. Additionally, they delve into the agricultural, enslavement, and remembrance landscapes that evolved at the site over the centuries following the capital’s relocation to Annapolis.

In their respective chapters, the contributors explore a wide array of subjects, encompassing soil analysis, ceramics, dietary practices, forts, burials, plantations, state houses, tenants, tobacco pipes, gaming, and the education of women.

The lands along the Chesapeake Bay have been witnesses to a diverse range of human experiences, and this book brings to light the stories of individuals from European, Native American, and African backgrounds who resided on this site across four centuries. These narratives shed light on the complex nature of this significant location and the broader Chesapeake region, underscoring the potential and significance of historical archaeology.

The contributors to this volume include scholars and experts like Terry Peterkin Brock, Karin S. Bruwelheide, Charles H. Fithian, Silas D. Hurry, Stephen S. Israel, Robert Keeler, George L. Miller, Henry M. Miller, Ruth M. Mitchell, Alexander “Sandy” H. Morrison II, Douglas W. Owsley, Travis G. Parno, Timothy B. Riordan, Michelle Sivilich, Garry Wheeler Stone, Wesley R. Willoughby, and Donald L. Winter.
