All businesses selling at our Airport Farmer’s Market are local small businesses that sell products that they have grown or produced themselves. When you shop local, up to 68% of the money you spend stays in the community, so come help support the wonderful entrepreneurs that make Maryland unique.

7:00 pm: HSMC Presents: Bits in Pieces: Uncovering Colonial Chesapeake Horse Culture in Archaeological Collections


September 21, 2023

Speaker:  Sara Rivers Cofield, Curator of Federal Collections, Maryland Archaeological Conservation (MAC) Laboratory

Fragmentary metal artifacts related to 17th- and 18th-century horses can be difficult to recognize, but making the effort to do so reveals the significant role of horses the colonial Chesapeake. Drawing from collections at Historic St. Mary’s City, the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory, Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, this presentation will connect fragmentary metal artifacts to the saddles and bridles they represent, illustrating an important part of social interaction in the colonial Chesapeake. Although horses were rare before 1650, by the end of the 17th century saddle horses were abundant and a necessity for socializing across widely dispersed plantations. Just as today one’s car tends to signal something about identity—wealth, occupation, personal tastes, etc.—in colonial Maryland the quality of one’s horse and saddle could vary based on one’s role in society. Analysis of equestrian artifacts can therefore reveal much about the tastes and interactions of Maryland’s colonists.
