Throughout life black Africans in the Bahamas worked, voluntarily
or not, and possessed material items of various degrees of
importance to them and within their culture. St. Matthews was a
cemetery in Nassau at the water's edge--or sometimes slightly
below. This project emerged from archaeological excavations at this
site to identify and recover materials associated with the interred
before the area was completely developed. The area has been
-collected- for decades--both professionally and by interested
citizens, and Dr. Turner, a native Bahamian, coupled the results of
her research excavations with the collections and archival
material, to provide insight into the lives and deaths of the
interred.
