This article uses the events of the 1913-14 Southern Colorado Coal strike and the cooperative work of the Colorado Coalfield War Archaeology Project to explore emergent historical narratives of working-class poverty and the role they play in shaping contemporary ideologies and public policy. It uses clothing as an entrée into discussions of the deserving and undeserving poor, and asks how competing groups used dress in the context of the 1913-14 southern Colorado coal strike to fashion subjects in particular ways. In so doing, it demonstrates the ineffectiveness of either-or dichotomies of deserving and undeserving that still influence current public policy.

“…39 This statement has since been imbued with a deep sense of irony, as artefacts and site records from the Five Points project were destroyed in a basement store beneath the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. Prior to the late 18th century, the Five Points area had been outside the city limits. It had been used as a burial ground by Africans and other socially marginalised groups.…”

This paper examines the ways in which international historical archaeologists have explored the recent past, in an effort to inform and contribute to contemporary debates about social identity and social inclusion. It is argued that the archaeology of the mundane and everyday can contribute to contemporary culture by creating a sense of community and developing social cohesion. Emphasis is placed upon the archaeology of the recent urban past and case studies are presented from New York, Sydney and Cape Town. The paper concludes that the study of the materiality of urban social life offers a powerful research tool for social scientists, and that archaeologists and heritage interpreters should make greater use of this form of evidence within the context of early 21st-century urban regeneration schemes in the UK.

“…Community studies also have a long tradition in historical archaeology, with much of the research being conducted in urban neighborhoods (e.g., Mrozowski 2006;Mullins 2008a;Mullins and Warner 2008;Murray and Crook 2005;Yamin 2001). Equally significant are neighborhoodtype studies conducted in seemingly non-neighborhood groups of households like extractive work camps (e.g., Lawrence 2000;Pickands 2000;Saitta 2007;Van Bueren 2002 and state-run institutions (e.g., Baugher and Spencer-Wood 2001;Casella 2007;Karskens 2003;Spencer-Wood and Baugher 2001).…”

The practice of historical archaeology has exploded over the past two decades, and especially since 2000. Methodological advances and new theoretical insights mean that archaeological research requires periodic evaluation, and this overview builds on the work of three earlier assessors of the discipline. Here, I concentrate on four areas of research currently being pursued by historical archaeologists: analytical scale, capitalism, social inequality, and heritage and memory. I conclude that historical archaeologists have made major strides in understanding the modern world and that future research promises to offer diverse perspectives that will deepen our appreciation for how the past influences the present.
