A new perspective on Caribbean historical archaeology that goes
beyond the colonial plantation. Historical Archaeologies of the
Caribbean: Contextualizing Sites through Colonialism, Capitalism,
and Globalism addresses issues in Caribbean history and historical
archaeology such as freedom, frontiers, urbanism, postemancipation
life, trade, plantation life, and new heritage. This collection
moves beyond plantation archaeology by expanding the knowledge of
the diverse Caribbean experiences from the late seventeenth through
the mid-nineteenth centuries. The essays in this volume are
grounded in strong research programs and data analysis that
incorporate humanistic narratives in their discussions of
Amerindian, freedmen, plantation, institutional, military, and
urban sites. Sites include a sample of the many different types
found across the Caribbean from a variety of colonial contexts that
are seldom reported in archaeological research, yet constitute
components essential to understanding the full range and depth of
Caribbean history. Contributors examine urban contexts in Nevis and
St. John and explore the economic connections between Europeans and
enslaved Africans in urban and plantation settings in St.
Eustatius. The volume contains a pioneering study of frontier
exchange with Amerindians in Dominica and a synthesis of ceramic
exchange networks among enslaved Africans in the Leeward Islands.
Chapters on military forts in Nevis and St. Kitts call attention to
this often-neglected aspect of the Caribbean colonial landscape.
Contributors also directly address culture heritage issues relating
to community participation and interpretation. On St. Kitts, the
legacy of forced confinement of lepers ties into debates of current
public health policy. Plantation site studies from Antigua and
Martinique are especially relevant because they detail comparisons
of French and British patterns of African enslavement and provide
insights into how each addressed the social and economic changes
that occurred with emancipation.
