Miller, Orloff. "Archaeological Investigations at Salterstown, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland," Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg, 1991. Advisor: Robert L. Schuyler
The investigation of alternative English colonial contests is a necessary first step towards an anthropological study of comparative colonialism. Investigations at Salterstown, a seventeenth century English colonial plantation, include archival research, oral history interviews and archaeological excavations over three seasons of fieldwork. Research has monitored the degree of transplantation of English material culture into the ulster plantations. Native Irish late-medieval survivals and the development of syncretic vernacular traditions unique to Ulster have been recorded. Included are detailed discussions of plantation-period economics, settlement pattern, architecture, ceramics, livestock, footwear, lithics, tobacco pipes, glassmaking and other artifact types. Investigations at Salterstown highlight an early English colonial milieu offering an instructive alternative to North American colonial contexts.
