Delayed physical development in a first generation enslaved African woman from Pietermaai, Curaçao
There is still much to be learned about enslavement in Curaçao, where little archaeological investigation into the historical era has been carried out. This article contributes to our knowledge on this subject through the analysis of a female individual buried in Pietermaai, an 18th century suburb of Willemstad. Excavated in the 1980s by the Archaeological-Anthropological Institute of the Netherlands Antilles, the remains are only now attracting …
Cist graves on Saba
African Re-Genesis
Ripped from motherland and family, ethnically mixed to quell the potential of uprisings, and brutalized by regimes of hard labor, the heart - the spirit - of Africa did not stop beating in the New World. Rather, it survived and has re-emerged; changed by contacts with new cultures and environments, but still part of the continuum of African tradition: an African Re-Genesis. This is the first volume in its field to emphasize the interdisciplinary …

Using case studies on the island of St. Maarten in the Dutch Caribbean, I examine the role of archaeology in understanding African heritage historical contexts and social and race relations of the twentieth century. This article then considers a transformed approach for reconciliation in public archaeology undertaken throu…

Dental modification was widely practiced in sub-Saharan Africa as a form of cultural expression, and during the era of the transatlantic slave trade, it was regularly identified in enslaved Africans who were transported to the Americas. Here, we report three new cases of African types of dental modification from the Caribbean island of Saint Martin that were recently encountered during construction activities in the Zoutsteeg area of Philipsburg,…
Slaveryland
The topic of human enslavement is an emotional and painful one. However, we must confront its existence for the sake of education about the human condition, both in history and at present. Yet where do we draw the line to separate education from exploitation? Studies of the African diaspora and those ethnographic material remains representing the atrocities of slavery provide us with important resources for re-educational purposes. Nonetheless, t…

The islands used for this study are Anguilla, St. Martin-St. Maarten (hereafter to be referred to simply as St. Martin), Dog Island, St. Barthelemew (St. Baits) and their adjacent cays. It is suggested that…
