Product Description

A glance at the title of this book might well beg the question What in heavens name does archaeology have to do with manners? We cannot dig up manners or mannerly behavioror can we? One might also ask Why is mannerly behavior important? and What can archaeology contribute to our understanding of the role of manners in the devel- ment of social relations and cultural identity in early America? English colonists in America and elsewhere sought to replicate English notions of gentility and social structure, but of necessity div- ged from the English model. The first generation of elites in colonial America did not spring from the landed gentry of old England. Rather, they were self-made, newly rich, and newly possessed of land and other trappings of Englands genteel classes. The result was a new model of gentry culture that overcame the contradiction between a value system in which gentility was conferred by birth, and the new values of bo- geois materialism and commercialism among the emerging colonial elites. Manners played a critical role in the struggle for the cultural legitimacy of gentility; mannerly behavioralong with exhibition of refined taste in architecture, fashionable clothing, elegant furnishings, and literatureprovided the means through which the new-sprung colonial elites defined themselves and validated their claims on power and prestige to accompany their newfound wealth.
