For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Dark Green Wine Bottle Bottom Subject The topic of the resource Although Harvard was founded with the initial goal of educating strict Puritan ministers, who would have expected an excavated wine bottle glass bottom to reveal a secular college with escapades of secret drunkenness among the Harvard scholars in later years? This glass bottle bottom dates to a period approximating 1800, based on the narrower bottle diameter, as compared to earlier years, plus the tall kickup inside the bottle bottom (Hume 1969, 68). Moreover, it likely originated from England (Hume 1969, 68). Substantial bottle glass was excavated near this item, plus other items corroborating this time period, such as cut nails, whiteware, and transfer paint. President Leverett’s tenure at Harvard during the early 1700s brought a more liberal attitude towards religion, and therefore alcohol (Morison 1986, 54). By the late 1700s, wine was sold by the Harvard Buttery, but the Book of Laws specifically prohibited the scholars from visiting taverns, and especially drunkenness (Harvard 2016a, 59). However, the Harvard scholars managed secret antics, such as the story of one student whose group of 40 visited the local tavern to get drunk, break glasses and return to their chambers in an uproar (Harvard 2016b, 46). Thus, when excavating pieces of glass, it may be a sign of a rambunctious night from years ago!

Title A name given to the resource Delftware Charger Subject The topic of the resource Who would think that a sherd excavated from Harvard Yard could reveal a legacy of England’s social structure renewing itself in Colonial America? Upon initial examination, the white tin-glaze with artistic blue design indicates this redware sherd is hardly ordinary. This white surface painted with a nature design and leaf hatching was intended to mimic Chinese porcelain, which was highly desired by Englishmen (Jefferson Patterson 2017; Hume 1969, 111). This more expensive glazing and design process, known as delftware, was frequently produced in England during the 17th and 18th centuries (Jefferson Patterson 2017). In the later 1600s, Americans sought more refined trade goods from England, including delftware (Deetz 1977, 79). The role of delftware in Colonial culture reflected its origins from the English culture, being revered as an item of sophisticated social distinction (Deetz 1977, 76). As such, delftware was often on display, similar to the pictures of the corner cupboard in a sitting room, reserved only for use at special occasions or hopefully admired by visiting guests (Deetz 1977, 83). Based on the flat shape of this sherd, and foot ring bump on the backside, possibly this sherd was from a plate or platter, such as the delftware plate picture, and likely acquired in late 17th century trade with England. This display of status would have been important to Harvard in the early 1700s to coincide with a revitalization in leadership and enrollment from its faltering years in the latter 1600s (Morison 1986, 54, 56, and 59).

Title A name given to the resource Domesticated Animal Bone Fragment Subject The topic of the resource Domesticated Animal Bone Fragment Description An account of the resource “A bone?” calls one of my classmates. “A human bone?” Thankfully, the bone I’m holding did not belong to a person–there’d be a lot of red tape if it had, not to mention the trauma of finding a human body less than a meter underneath the ground near a building I’d lived in only 3 years earlier. No, Aurora, the HYAP 2021 Teaching Fellow, says: this is a fragment of a domesticated animal’s longbone, probably that of a cow or a pig. Since we found it in a layer of soil that has been virtually untouched since the 17th century, it's a safe bet that the animal the bone belonged to died nearly 400 years ago. Unfortunately, while we have a general idea of what type of animal this bone may have belonged to and when it died, we have no way to tell how old it was at the time (at least, not while we're in the field). There are 2 main ways we could have figured this out, both of which are off the table: 1) If we had the animal’s jawbone instead of a longbone, we could have looked at how worn down its teeth were from grinding up plants throughout its life. The older the animal, the more wear and tear (Bowen 140). 2) If we had an end of the bone instead of the middle, we would have been able to look at the epiphyses (the ends of longbones like the femur). Epiphyses become attached to longbones in a predictable pattern throughout an animal’s development cycle, and so are useful in telling the age of the animal a bone belonged to (Bowen 140). The cause of death of the animal is also a little shaky. Disease was not very common in European livestock in the early colonial period. Yes, the Columbian Exchange was terrible for human health; New World and Old World diseases spread through Indigenous and colonial communities like wildfire (Nunn and Quian 164). Animals like pigs and cows, however, were now separated from Old World diseases by an ocean and had no New World relatives from which to contract diseases (Smithcors 172). The first recorded large-scale epizootic (animal epidemic) in the colonies did not occur until 1699–the very tail end of the century this bone probably came from (Smithcors 172). That said, it is still likely that this animal died of natural causes, perhaps an isolated illness or simply old age. How can we tell? Butchering marks, the telltale signs that an animal has been killed for its meat, are entirely absent. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Bowen, J.

Subject The topic of the resource Before modern hygiene with waste removal from proper toilets, stoneware chamber pots were often covered only with a glaze to prevent the liquid waste from leaking through. These vessels were constructed to permit the storage of human liquids in a safe manner while the unglazed exterior of the chamber pot demonstrates its utilitarian nature. Chambers pots were used in private homes and typically stored where an owner would need them every day (Hume, 1969). The Harvard Yard Excavations reveal how students lived in early Harvard College through the understanding of the common realities of their living environments. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the majority of students lived in dormitory-style housing that lacked indoor plumbing and sewage lines. They were given chamber pots to use overnight, which then had to be emptied in the morning into outdoor privies, cesspits, or garbage piles (Deetz, 1996). Chamber pots provided the ability to maintain cleanliness during periods of overcrowding in institutional settings. The presence of chamber pots in students' dorms describes how both hygiene and waste management were elements of what constitutes a scholastic experience in early Harvard College. Diana DiPaolo Loren states that the daily experiences of students were impacted by the management of the smells, smoke, and human waste that they encountered in their shared living spaces (Loren, 2022). Chamber pots existed in the dormitory rooms as a result of the fact that while studying in a scholarly institution, the needs of a student would also impact their hygiene and bodily care. Although this chamber pot is incomplete, it demonstrates how the daily existence at Harvard was supported by the systems of society that manage our basic needs as humans.
