Abstract

The transition from an agrarian to an industrial society was accepted at different rates among 19th-century Harpers Ferry residents and workers. Incorporating or excluding the segmenting principles of industrialization into domestic life created dramatic changes in the domestic lives of armory workers. Domestic archaeological assemblages are compared for two master armorers: one who supported the earlier task-oriented system of production, and the other who attempted to change the armory into a more systematic and modern industrialized facility. Distinctive differences between the assemblages appear and are attributed to changing perceptions of industrialism.
