Chapter 5 interprets the material culture collected from the excavations of the Silas Tobias and Jacob and Hannah Hart sites. Discussions of each collection provide an understanding of how life for people of color in Setauket changed due to increasing restrictions on their freedom and autonomy after the end of slavery. Analysis of faunal, botanical, lithic, ceramic, glass, and architectural artifacts are the main focus.

This state of the field essay examines recent trends in American Cultural History, focusing on music, race and ethnicity, material culture, and the body. Expanding on key themes in articles featured in the special issue of Cultural History, the essay draws linkages to other important literatures. The essay argues for more a more serious consideration of the products within popular culture, less as a reflection of social or economic trends, rather for their own historical significance. While the essay examines some classic texts, more emphasis is on work published within the last decade. Here, interdisciplinary methods are stressed, as are new research perspectives developing by non-western historians.
