Hello everyone,
I have been researching archaeological evidence of the use of space on sites inhabited by enslaved Africans, primarily in the eastern United States and the Caribbean.
I am looking for examples of projects--particularly those that might be discussed in CRM reports, or other forms of gray literature--that address the use of space by enslaved Africans. I appeal to the assembled masses on HistArch and the African American Archaeology network to share with me or point me toward any projects that examine the arrangement of yards, exterior spaces, or the layouts of plantations, perhaps by the use of plowzone studies, large-scale area studies, etc. I have a pretty good handle on the published material, so my hope is to get leads on unpublished work.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to me off list ([log in to unmask]), and I will post the feedback, if any, for those that may be interested.
Thanks!
Garrett
