Historical Archaeology in South Africa
Historical Archaeology in South Africa
Material Culture of the Dutch East India Company at the Cape
Carmel Schrire, Editor
288 pp. / 8.5 x 11 / November 2014
This volume documents the analysis of excavated historical archaeological
collections at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. The corpus provides a
rich picture of life and times at this distant outpost of an immense Dutch
seaborne empire during the contact period. Representing over three decades
of excavation, conservation, and analysis, the book examines ceramics,
glass, metal, and other categories of artifacts in their archaeological
contexts. An enclosed CD includes a video reconstruction plus a
comprehensive catalog and color illustrations of the artifacts in the
corpus. The parallels and contrasts this volume reveals will help scholars
studying the European expansion period to build a richer comparative picture
of colonial material culture.
