ABSTRACT
Between my work in Williamsburg and the work I began in Annapolis, I wanted to explore the role of religion in America. I wanted to know how a historical archaeologist is to study religion in America. Not incidentally, how is a historical archaeologist anywhere in the world to approach religion? I assert that the topic is important and that there are data. The assertion is, like much of my argument, a place to stand so that an archaeologist can think positively, with strong intellectual tools.
