<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b>Oregon Archaeological Society Public Lecture - Nov. 4, 2014, 7:30 pm - OMSI Auditorium - Free to the public</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Dr. Elizabeth Horton is the guest speaker for the November 4, 2014 lecture sponsored by the Oregon Archaeological Society. The title of Horton’s talk is “Space, Status, and Interaction: Multiscalar
Analyses of Officers, Soldiers, and Laundresses at Nineteenth Century Fort Vancouver, Washington.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The U.S. Army’s Fort Vancouver in southwest Washington was headquarters for Pacific Northwest military exploration and campaigns in the mid-19th century. American military posts were physically,
socially and economically intricate cultural landscapes intentionally designed to reflect the rigid social concepts of power, status, and ideology. Rules of behavior for both men and women were institutionalized within the larger Victorian societal culture
of gentility. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Drawing upon datasets derived from the archaeological record and documentary sources, Horton’s talk explores how the military system reproduced and reinforced culturally idealized class and
gender roles. The experiences of both men and women are discussed for three military households: junior commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers and laundresses, and enlisted men.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Horton is an archaeologist for the National Park Service in Vancouver, Washington. Her research and specialties focus on how material culture is symbolically encoded to communicate simultaneously
at varying spatial scales and the analysis of faunal materials, human remains, pre-contact Iroquois pottery, and historical artifacts. Her research and fieldwork are extensive, covering both the U.S. and parts of Europe. Currently, Horton is examining the
significance and role of other military structures at Pacific Northwest posts, such as earthwork formations, terrace-forming, and the central flagstaff. <o:p></o:p></p>
<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The presentation is at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) at 7:45 PM, and is free and open to the public. The talk is preceded by a general business meeting beginning at 7 PM, that is also open to the public </span><o:p></o:p></pre>
