Dear Mitch,
I would recommend having your student use datasets from The Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery (www.daacs.org <http://www.daacs.org/> ). This online archive provides free access to complete and highly standardized archaeological datasets from over 30 excavated slave quarter sites in the Chesapeake and Caribbean regions. These sites have occupations that span the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Many of our colleagues use DAACS as a teaching tool in statistical and archaeological methods courses.
Your student can begin by exploring the different sites in the "Archaeological Sites" section of the website and then query the datasets through the "Query the Database" section. She may contact me if she has any questions about using the archive.
Best,
Jillian Galle

Subject: dataset needed
A former student, now in grad school, is taking an anthropological
statistics class and needs a archaeological dataset to play with. I'm
not familiar with US Colonial or Revolutionary period materials, but
she's looking for something from those eras. Could someone on the list
direct her to one on the web or has one for her to use? Many thanks for
your help.
best
