Christopher,
If no one else has spoken up for it, I'm both available and willing to review the Katz-Hyman and Rice edited volume on the Material Life of Slaves. I have been working with enslaved African-American sites in North Carolina and Virginia off and on for the past 15 years, and it is a very large topical interest to me. I also have an excellent track record of book reviews for Historical Archaeology, Southeastern Archaeology, and North Carolina Archaeology, and can provide samples/references if requested. Thanks for your consideration!
Cheers,
Tom Beaman
