Pages : 224
Book Description
Historic reconstructions have been a consistent part of the historic preservation and heritage conservation movements in the United States and Canada. Indeed, reconstruction has been the primary tool at the most influential historic sites, for example: the Governor's Palace and the Capitol at Colonial Williamsburg, USA, and in Canada, the Fortress of Louisbourg. Dozens of other reconstructions have appeared during the past century in North America, undertaken by individuals, communities, states, and provinces, and by national agencies responsible for cultural heritage. Despite this prevalence, historic reconstructions have received little scholarly attention and the question of what motivated the proponents of these projects remains largely unexamined. This book explores that question through detailed studies of ten historic reconstructions located throughout Canada and the United States, ranging from 1908 to 2011. Drawing upon diverse archival sources and site investigations, the proponents of each site are given voice to address their need to remake these landmarks, be it to sustain, to challenge, or even subvert a historical narrative, or – with reference to contemporary heritage studies – to reclaim these spaces. Reconstructing Historic Landmarks provides a fascinating insight into these shifting concepts of history in North America and will be of considerable interest both to students and scholars of historic preservation and indeed to heritage professionals involved in reconstructions themselves.

Book Description
The 18th-century container glass from the Roma site has been divided into three main categories, one secondary category and one miscellaneous category on the basis of a combination of features that include glassmaking tradition, country of origin, function and dating. The main categories are: utilitarian blue-green containers of the French wood-burning tradition; darkgreen liquor bottles of the French coal-burning tradition; and "black" glass liquor bottles of the English coal-burning tradition. The secondary category consists of small bottles resembling the French liquor bottles and believed to be their quarter- and half-sized counterparts. Objects unidentifiable by any of these standards are included in the miscellaneous category. A total of 156 identifiable objects were retrieved from the Roma site and are described in this report.
