Originally distributed with a different title as a very limited edition of
twelve in 1975, Historical Archaeology in Wachovia presents a unique record of
the 1753 Moravian town of Bethabara, near Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Stanley South, who led the site's excavation in 1966, fully describes such
discoveries as fortifications from the French and Indian War and twenty ruins
of various shops and dwellings in the town. He also illustrates methods of ruin
excavation and stabilization, including the replacement of palisade posts in
the original fort ditch as part of the site's development as Historic Bethabara
Park.
Some of the most interesting of South's finds
concern the confluence of two traditions of pottery and stoneware production.
One of these is represented by forty pottery wheel-thrown types and forms made
by the master German potter Gottfried Aust between 1755 and 1771, excavated
from the ruin of his shop and kiln waster dump. Additional work at both
Bethabara and Salem recovered the waster dumps of Aust's journeyman potter
Rudolph Christ, who had also studied with the Staffordshire potter William
Ellis. Christ's wares, which demonstrate both German and English influences,
are discussed in detail. Extensively documented and heavily illustrated with
over 320 photographs, drawings, and maps, this volume -- a classic example of
the process of historical archaeology as demonstrated by one of its foremost
practitioners in America -- is a valuable resource for avocational
archaeologists, particularly those living in the Southeast, as well as
historical archaeologists, historians, ceramicists, ceramics collectors,
students of colonial culture, and museologists.
