The Colonial Caribbean is an archaeological analysis of the
Jamaican plantation system at the turn of the nineteenth century.
Focused specifically on coffee plantation landscapes and framed by
Marxist theory, the analysis considers plantation landscapes using
a multiscalar approach to landscape archaeology. James A. Delle
considers spatial phenomena ranging from the diachronic settlement
pattern of the island as a whole to the organization of individual
house and yard areas located within the villages of enslaved
workers. Delle argues that a Marxist approach to landscape
archaeology provides a powerful theoretical framework to understand
how the built environment played a direct role in the negotiation
of social relations in the colonial Caribbean.
