Tea ware has been the focus of numerous North American and Australian historical archaeology studies of female consumer behavior in colonial contexts. This article uses data from a 19th-century urban site in Whanganui, New Zealand, to examine how these previously explored experiences of self-expression and social pressure compare to those of a woman from another part of the colonial world. To do this, the ways in which three aspects of Mary Byrne’s tea-ware assemblage changed over time were examined and considered alongside events that occurred during her 40-year occupation of the site. The results highlight the varied and complex ways in which a first-generation settler in New Zealand used material culture to negotiate a place in her new community.

茶杯中的风暴：一位 19 世纪新西兰定居者的生活通过她的茶具讲述

茶具一直是北美和澳大利亚对殖民时期女性消费者行为的众多历史考古研究的焦点。本文使用来自新西兰旺格努伊 19 世纪城市遗址的数据，研究这些先前探索的自我表达和社会压力的经历与来自殖民世界其他地区的女性的经历相比有何不同。为此，研究并考虑了玛丽·伯恩 (Mary Byrne) 茶具组合的三个方面随时间变化的方式，以及她在该场所 40 年占领期间发生的事件。结果突出了新西兰的第一代定居者使用物质文化在她的新社区中谈判的各种复杂方式。
