Constructing Identity through Built Form: Houses, Status and Ethnicity in New York's Colonial Mohawk Valley
In the mid-eighteenth century, the Mohawk Valley was the frontier of colonial New York. Two houses, Old Fort Johnson and Fort Klock, were built about thirty miles apart within one year of each other. While both are fortified stone houses built to defend not just the residents but others, the houses are quite different due to the identities both builders were trying to create for themselves. This presentation will be on the two houses and their immediate landscape and how identity was invented for both their owners, put into the broader context of the colonial Northeast.
Scott Stull is an historic archaeologist with a focus on the expression of status and identity through material culture and the built environment. He is currently a Lecturer at Ithaca College, and has been president of the Finger Lakes chapter of the NYSAA since 2007.
