| March 26, 2007: East Carolina University, Research and Creative Achievement Week Legal Commerce, Illicit Trades: The Role of Legality and Geographic Convenience in the Patterning of Maritime Commercial Activities on the Roanoke River, North Carolina, Adam D. Friedman, Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, 27858 This ongoing study is an investigation of various themes related to the role of industrial legality as a patterning force on the cultural landscape of the Roanoke River, North Carolina. Accomplishing the goals of the study comes through archaeological methods, such as remote sensing, and historical research, primarily examining the customs records of Port Roanoke and Port Edenton. Archaeological and historical data is in the process of merging in order to expand a pre-existing geographic information system database originally created by Franklin Price. The ideas contained within Giddens’ Structuration Theory serves as the dominant theoretical guide to the discovery of landscape patterns and development of explanatory models. |
