Abstract
In the early 19th century the Deer Street neighborhood of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, enjoyed considerable social stability. This article builds a precise historical framework for the interpretation of archaeological remains associated with this time period. The Deer Street archaeological projects uncovered both sites and features closely associated with Portsmouth women and dated between the years 1820 and 1840. The relationship between the women of the neighborhood and their property, both real and personal, provides the focus for the discussion of the historical and archaeological record.
