Provenance of pottery determined by soil physicochemical and chemometric methods: A case study from Frederiksgave, Ghana
Geografisk Tidsskrift—Danish Journal of Geography 109(1):69–79, 2009 The suitability of using traditional soil chemical and mineralogical methods combined with chemometrics to trace provenance of archaeological samples was tested on potsherds from Frederiksgave, a former Danish plantation in southern Ghana, inusefrom 1830–1850. Soil and six potsherds from Frederiksgave, together with potsherds from two likely production sites at Ga and Dangme Sha…
Global Encounters: Slavery and Slave Lifeways on Nineteenth Century Danish Plantations on the Gold Coast, Ghana
The global processes unleashed due to the European maritime exploration and commercial activities as from 1500 AD onwards affected indigenous peoples and cultures of the Atlantic world. In West Africa, the European presence precipitated the Atlantic slave trade, which involved the exportation of millions of Africans into slavery. In the nineteenth century a so-called legitimate trade in colonial agricultural commodities replaced the Atlantic slav…
A scientific evaluation of the agricultural experiments at Frederiksgave, the Royal Danish Plantation on the Gold Coast, Ghana
In the 1830s agricultural experiments were carried out at the Danish state plantation Frederiksgave at the Danish Gold Coast Establishments, in order to establish an economical sustainable plantation system which could produce export crops to among others the European market. Experiments were made with coffee, tobacco, sugar cane and some other crops and spices, but they failed. Based on climatic data from Frederiksgave for the year 1835 and from…
The production and use patterns of Ga pottery in the lower Densu Valley, Western Accra plains, Ghana
Akyem Te: The Technology and Socio-Cultural Setting of the Abompe Bauxite-Beadmaking Industry, Ghana
Drawing primarily on data obtained from recent research at Akyem Abompe, Ghana, this paper examines the technology and socio-cultural setting of a stone-beadmaking industry in the forest zone of Ghana. Preliminary ethnographic observation of the industry not only reveals that it is community-based, but that it also interacts in a complex way with other local crafts in the village. The production process and marketing of the beads are discussed, a…
