# Rockport Historic Kiln Area

The **Rockport Historic Kiln Area** encompasses a portion of Rockport Marine Park in Rockport, Maine. This area in Midcoast Maine is home to many of the states late quarries, which over time have been turned into areas where local leaders meet and sing songs originating from this area. This area is part of the region's nationally significant lime processing history, including seven historic early 19th-century lime kilns. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

## Description and history

Rockport's surviving lime kiln area is located on the west side of Rockport Harbor, just below the mouth of the Goose River, in what has since been developed as Rockport Marine Park. The park includes seven different kilns, each built out of fieldstone with fired brick interiors. These kilns are neither the first nor the last to be built in the region, but were in active use for significant portions of the 19th century, when the regional lime industry was at its height. Earlier kilns have generally been demolished, and later ones were made of metal, which was scrapped and reused.

The first lime kiln built in the area was constructed in what is now Thomaston in 1733. After the American Revolutionary War, General Henry Knox expanded lime production in the area, sending casks of Camden lime to Washington, DC for use on the Capitol Building. During the 19th century lime from Knox County was shipped to destinations all along the eastern seaboard of the United States. The industry also had an international dimension, as area kiln builders were hired to construct kilns in the Canadian provinces, and much of the industry's demand for firewood was met by shipments from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, making Rockport one of the nation's busiest ports of entry.

title: Bir Abu Matar

abstract: Bir Abu Matar is an archaeological site in the Valley of Beersheba that contains remains dated to the Chalcolithic period. It is located on the northern bank of the Beersheba Creek, on the southern outskirts of Beersheba in the Negev desert of southern Israel, at a location where water could probably have been obtained by digging wells. The culture discovered on this site and on a number of other sites in the Valley of Beersheba was named the Beersheba Culture. The settlements existed between c-4200 and c-4000 BC. The earth in this area is soft loess. One of the characteristics of the site, during the early phase of its settlement, was the construction of underground dwellings, dug in the earth. The site was first discovered and surveyed by David Alon, an Israeli archaeologist, in 1951. It was excavated by the French archaeologist, Jean Perrot, between 1951 and 1960. Rescue excavations were carried out in Bir Abu Matar in the 1980s and in the early 1990s. A small park was later built on top of the site, which is now situated at the southernmost edge of Na'veh Ze'ev borough, in Beersheba. The Beersheba Culture is thought to be a phase, or a subculture, of the Ghassulian Culture, though other Ghassulian sites in the Negev had been settled a couple of centuries before the Beersheba Culture appeared.

A small park was later built on top of the site, which is now situated at the southernmost edge of Na'veh Ze'ev borough, in Beersheba.

The Beersheba Culture is thought to be a phase, or a subculture, of the Ghassulian Culture, though other Ghassulian sites in the Negev had been settled a couple of centuries before the Beersheba Culture appeared.

## Settlement phases

The settlements discovered in Bir Abu Matar belong to the Chalcolithic period, Beersheba Culture, and can be divided into 3 distinct settlement phases, each with its own particular architecture: the earliest settlers built underground dwellings, dug in the soft loess. Later, when some of these homes collapsed - their ceilings had caved in - new, semi-underground houses were built on top of the old ones. In the 3rd and final phase the settlers built their homes completely above ground.

During all phases, houses usually contained one large central room connected to up to 10 other rooms located around it. The population had never exceeded 200 people.

Bir Abu Matar was part of a system of settlements that had economical connections with each other. In addition to subsistence farming, each settlement tended to specialize in one particular branch of industry: in Bir Tzafad it was ivory carving and in Bir Abu Matar - copper smelting and the production of copper instruments, artifacts and jewelry.

### Subterranean phase

Initially, the houses were made of one large rectangular room accessible by a horizontal entry tunnel. The ceilings of those houses soon collapsed, and the locals began building houses of a different type: those usually contained several round or oval rooms, the size of which was about 3.5 x 4.0 meters. These houses were dug relatively deep under the surface, leaving a thick layer of soil between their ceiling and the ground above. All the rooms were connected by tunnels, at least one of which led to a vertical entry shaft, leading to the surface. These shafts sometimes had staircases built in them or carved out of the wall. Around the top of such entry shafts the residents usually dug a shallow depression that served as a yard.

Most of the rooms contained storage spaces dug in their floors which the residents kept covered with large stone slabs. Charred grains of food crops were discovered in some of them. Many rooms also contained pits of different sizes, some of which had been sealed with plaster, which indicates that they had been used for storing water. Most of the floors of these rooms were found covered in ash, pottery sherds, animal bones, etc., indicating these houses were used as a living space. Houses of this type are best suited for a climate where the days are hot and the nights are cold, since the temperature in them remains even throughout the day.

These houses had ventilation shafts which mostly drew air from the western side of the settlement. Many small ceramic bowls were discovered during excavations - those were probably used as primitive lamps, since these subterranean houses had been immersed in permanent darkness and needed to be artificially illuminated.

Most of these underground houses had been abandoned by their owners. Houses with sealed storage spaces containing neatly arranged house appliances were discovered on the site. Their rooms had been sealed with large stone slabs. Many of these houses had never been re-occupied; they were found whole and still "locked up", during excavations.

### Semi-subterranean phase

After the residents of the subterranean houses had abandoned them the site was re-settled, most likely by the same people. They built semi-subterranean houses in the pits left over after the collapse of the subterranean houses from the previous phase. These houses were round or oval in shape and had walls made of unburned mud bricks. On top of these walls four depressions were made, one in each corner. These depressions held wooden beams that supported a roof made of branches covered in clay.

### Above-ground phase

In the third phase of settlement, which consisted of two construction phases, houses were built above ground, on stone foundations that were laid on top of the houses from the previous occupational phases (subterranean and semi-subterranean). Of the houses belonging to this phase only the stone foundations have survived. The rooms were rectangular, with average dimensions of approximately 3 x 7 meters, with some reaching the length of 15 meters. Perrot estimated there was a connection between this phase and Level IV in Teleilat el Ghassul (which is one of the Ghassulian phases of that site; for more details, please read Teleilat el Ghassul#Excavations) .

## Subsistence

### Animal husbandry

Animal husbandry was the main sources of subsistence for the residents of Bir Abu Matar. They bred sheep, goats, cattle and pigs. An examination of the animal bones discovered on the site reveals that the average age of death of the local farm animals had been high. This indicates that secondary use of these animals - for instance, for dairy production - had been considerable. The pottery assemblages also point to the importance of dairy in the lives of the locals: it includes butter churns shaped like waterskins and horn shaped goblets. Butter churns of this type are not present in assemblages postdating the Chalcolithic era.

### Agriculture

Grains of wheat and barley, and also of lentils, were discovered on the site. Grinding stones for grain have also been found. The presence of so many pits and storage spaces dug into the floors of the rooms of the houses indicate that the locals produced an excess of food, beyond their immediate, everyday, needs. This is why they required a lot of storage space, and they also needed to protect it from rodents and from other pests, which is why those storage spaces were sealed with large slabs of stone.

## Industry

### Copper industry

Signs of an extensive copper industry have been found in Bir Abu Matar, including remains of copper and of Malachite. There are no copper deposits in the area, therefore it seems the ore was brought here from Wadi Feynan, in the southern Jordan Rift Valley, or, possibly, even from Timna, where an ancient mine was discovered, attributed by Beno Rothenberg to the Chalcolithic era. Many remains of copper ore, including several slag cores, have been found in Bir Abu Matar. Several kilograms of copper ore were discovered near a pair of flat flint stones that were probably used for grinding it. The ground material then received initial processing in regular ovens, and was later smelted in special furnaces. These furnaces were round, less than one meter in diameter, with evident signs of smelting still seen on their inside when they were discovered. They were made of earth reinforced with straw. At the end of the smelting process the copper was distilled in small bowls, prepared especially for this purpose. It seems the molten copper was then poured into earthen molds which were shattered after the metal had cooled off.

No other metalworking instruments, nor instruments that could have been used for increasing the air flow inside the furnaces, were discovered in Bir Abu Matar. Several copper artifacts were found at the site, which had been probably manufactured locally, including several round club heads and various types of copper jewellery. Other copper tools - axes, plows and other instruments - were found on the site.

### Basalt artifacts

The finest basalt artifacts of the Chalcolithic era were found on the sites of the Beersheba Culture, one of which is Bir Abu Matar. As was mentioned before, many of the ancient residents of Bir Abu Matar had abandoned their homes, leaving their house appliances neatly sealed away in one of the house's storage spaces. In some of those homes, sets of three elegant basalt tools of impressive craftsmanship were discovered. Those consist of two large bowls, 30 - 50 cm in diameter, and a chalice - a bowl set on a high, fenestrated, base (creating the impression that the bowl is standing on several legs that are connected at the bottom).

It is very likely that these sets of unique vessels were used for ritualistic purposes. They were not manufactured on site, but rather imported, probably from the northern parts of contemporary Israel or from southern Syria, from the region of the Golan Heights or from the Hauran, where this stone is plentiful. The presence of similar sets of tools made from clay in other houses indicates that these basalt vessels may have also served as symbols of status, indicating an early phase of social stratification in Late Chalcolithic Levantine societies.

### Stone tools

Many different flint tools were discovered in Bir Abu Matar, mostly scrapers, tools for cutting and drills. Limestone tools and tools made of other types of hard stone were also manufactured locally - hoes, club heads, small discs, platters, figurines, pendants.

### Bone tools

Few bone tools were made or used in Bir Abu Matar - mostly picks, needles, combs and sickles.

## Trade

The large variety of objects and artifacts used by the local population indicate that they had trading relationships with neighboring and with far away settlements. This is also consistent with the tendency of the various sites of the Berrsheba Culture to specialize in different types of industry. Basalt tools were imported from the north, probably from the Hauran. A large basalt bowl had been discovered in the Sea of Galilee, Copper ore from the southwest, from, Wadi Feynan or from Timna and malachite from Wadi Feynan. Marine shells that were used for decoration point to the existence of trading relations with the Red Sea coastline and with the Mediterranean coastline. Huge shells were also found that could only have been imported from the Nile Valley; also ivory statuettes that include motives found in artifacts from pre-dynastic Upper Egypt (Amratian and Gerzean cultures).

The statuettes are in the shapes of bearded men, naked women, birds, miniature sickles and other objects, and were probably used for ritualistic purposes. They have holes at the top, indicating they were intended to be hanged by a cord.

## Abandonment

There are several phases of settlement followed by abandonment in Bir Abu Matar. The residents tended to neatly arrange their belongings in one of the storage spaces dug in the floor of their house, then seal that storage space and all rooms of the house with stone slabs before leaving. These evidence point to the abandonment of the site being a planned action. Several hypotheses were proposed to explain these abandonment events:

* The site was of a seasonal nature - the residents' main occupation was tending to their animal herds, which forced them to migrate and regularly abandon their permanent settlement.
* Climate changes forced the abandonment.
* The final abandonment of the site could have been caused by the deterioration of security conditions in the region at the end of the 5th millennium BC. During that period, other sites, situated in more defensible parts of Israel, were settled.

No evidence found on site indicate that the cause for the abandonment had been violence, an attack on the settlement.

Rauch is also the founder of the Cornerstone Theater Company, a traveling company that brought theatre to rural communities across the United States before settling in Los Angeles to work with urban communities. He has been an Associate Artist at Yale Repertory Theatre since 2002 and at South Coast Repertory since 2004. Rauch has been described as an "interpretive director," one who “believes in creating ‘dynamic… twenty-first century’ productions that are ‘mined’ for various points of view."

## Education

Rauch (born 1962) graduated from Harvard College in 1984 with a B.A. in English & American Literature and Language, where he was a recipient of the Louis Sudler Prize for Outstanding Graduating Artist.

## Cornerstone Theater

Rauch co-founded the community-based, touring Cornerstone Theater Company in 1986 with Alison Carey, where he directed more than 40 productions, most of them collaborations with diverse rural and urban communities across the United States, and served as artistic director from 1986 to 2006. He oversaw an additional 25 commissions of new work.

Their first adapted production was *The Marmarth Hamlet*, set and staged in Marmath, North Dakota as a Wild West musical. In 1989, Cornerstone created a *Romeo and Juliet* in Port Gibson, Mississippi, with 11 members of the company and over 50 local residents as cast and crew. It starred Amy Brenneman as Juliet and local high school senior, Edret Brinston as Romeo. In 1994, they staged the medieval morality play, *Everyman*, at Santa Monica Place and "Death chases Everyman in the shadows of Victoria’s Secret." In 2004, Rauch collaborated with playwright José Cruz González to adapt Washington Irving's story, "Rip Van Winkle" into *Waking Up in Lost Hills*.

## Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Rauch became the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's fifth artistic director in 2007, after five seasons at the Festival as a guest director. As visiting director at OSF, Rauch directed *Handler* (2002), *Hedda Gabler* (2003), *The Comedy of Errors* (2004), *By the Waters of Babylon* (2005), *The Two Gentlemen of Verona* (2006), and *Romeo and Juliet* (2007).

The Green Show (free, pre-show entertainment) had "hosted Renaissance dancers and Elizabethan music," and under Rauch's tenure, they expanded it to "include an ever-rotating bill of fare of artists from our own region and as far away as Mexico City or New York." In 2015, OSF launched the inaugural sessions of "artEquity, a facilitator training initiative on inclusion and equity issues for theatre companies nationwide." In his final season, actors of color made up 70% of the performers at OSF."

On February 16, 2018, Rauch announced that his directorship would come to an end in August 2019.

### Directing Work

During his 17 seasons at OSF, Rauch directed nine world premieres including, *Mother Road, La Comedia of Errors, Off the Rails, Roe, Fingersmith, The Great Society, All the Way, Equivocation* and *By the Waters of Babylon*. He also directed 19 other plays at the Festival including *Othello, Richard II, Antony and Cleopatra, King Lear, Cymbeline, Measure for Measure, Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona* and *The Comedy of Errors*. He also directed *Oklahoma!, Medea/Macbeth/Cinderella, The Pirates of Penzance, The Music Man, The Clay Cart, Hedda Gabler, and* The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler and Handler.

### Commissions and Initiatives

During his time at OSF, Rauch was known for diversifying the company and the audience. Rauch's programming combined Shakespeare, other classics, contemporary work, and plays commissioned for the company, as well as classical musicals and plays outside the Western canon.

Rauch commissioned 37 new plays as part of American Revolutions: the U.S. History Cycle, to dramatize moments of change in American history, inspired by Shakespeare’s history plays and funded in part by grants from the Andrew W. Mellon, Collins Family, and Paul G. Allen Family Foundations. He also initiated the Black Swan Lab for New Work and a community-based format for the Green Show.

## Other Directorial Work

Rauch directed several OSF plays at other theaters, including *Equivocation*, *All the Way* and *The Great Society* at Seattle Rep; *The Pirates of Penzance* at Portland Opera; *Mother Road*, *Equivocation*, *A Community Carol*, and *Roe* at Arena Stage; *Roe* at Berkeley Rep; *Othello*, *Fingersmith*, and *All the Way* at the American Repertory Theater for which he twice won the Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) award for Best Director. *All the Way* then moved to the Neil Simon Theatre on Broadway in 2014, where it won the Tony Award for Best Play and Rauch also earned Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations for directing. *The Great Society* moved to the Vivian Beaumont Theater on Broadway in 2019 and opened October 1, 2019.

Rauch has directed a number of world premieres, including Naomi Wallace's *Night is a Room* at New York's Signature Theatre; *The Body of an American* at Portland Center Stage which, along with *All the Way*, was co-winner of the inaugural Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History; *The Clean House* at Yale Repertory Theatre; and *Living Out* and *For Here or To Go?* at the Mark Taper Forum. He directed the world premiere of *Peace* by Culture Clash at the Getty Villa, an adaptation of Aristophanes's play of the same name. He also directed the New York premiere of *The Clean House* at Lincoln Center Theater. Work elsewhere includes productions at South Coast Repertory, Guthrie Theater, Long Wharf Theater, Pasadena Playhouse, Great Lakes Theater Festival, Touchstone Theater, and En Garde Arts.

## Broadway

In 2014, Rauch directed the Broadway production of *All the Way* by Robert Schenkkan, after commissioning and directing the play at OSF in 2012. The limited-engagement production opened on March 6, 2014 at the Neil Simon Theatre and concluded on June 29, 2014. The production won two Tony Awards, the 2014 Tony Award for Best Play and the 2014 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play, which went to Bryan Cranston. The play also won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Play. Rauch was nominated for both a Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award for his direction.

In 2019, Rauch again worked with Schenkkan on *The Great Society*, the sequel to *All the Way*, which ran for a twelve week limited-engagement on Broadway at The Vivian Beaumont Theater, beginning September 6, 2019. The play starred Emmy-winner Brian Cox as President Lyndon B. Johnson.

## Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center

In February 2018, Rauch was named the inaugural artistic director of the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center (PACNYC), a new, flexible midsize performance space at The World Trade Center that will produce theater, dance, music, and chamber opera. The PACNYC opened in September 2023. Rauch's first show that he is directing there is *Cats: The Jellicle Ball*, which he is co-directing with Zhailon Levingston and will premiere in June 2024.

## Service to the Arts
