The Archaeology of Clothing and Bodily Adornment in Colonial America by Diana Dipaolo Loren
Investigates the ways in which colonial peoples chose to express their bodies and identities through clothing and adornment. Diana DiPaolo examines strategies of combining local-made and imported goods not simply to emulate European elites, but instead to create a language of new appearance by which to communicate in an often contentious colonial world.
Highly readable but also innovative in its approach to a broad array of material from diverse colonial contexts" — Carolyn White, University of Nevada, Reno
"Loren brings together a sampling of the extensive literature on the archaeology of clothing and adornment to argue that artifacts of the body acquire their meaning through cultural practice. She shows how dress serves as social discourse and a tool of identity negotiation." — Kathleen Deagan, Florida Museum of Natural History
