Mapeo de la primera rebelión de africanos esclavizados de las Américas (1521)
La revuelta de esclavos de 1521 en La Española fue el primer levantamiento documentado de personas africanas esclavizadas en las Américas. Debido a la escasez de documentos primarios al respecto, examinamos las dimensiones espaciales de este acto de resistencia mediante la cartografía de los lugares donde tuvo lugar, las distancias recorridas y los terrenos y topografías que los rebeldes atravesaron en pocos días. Nuestro estudio argumenta que la…
Maritime Marronage
This Forum addresses the topic of maritime marronage in the Greater Caribbean region. Since the historian Neville Hall coined the term in 1985, there has been a rich vein of work on enslaved people
Archaeologies of African American Life in the Upper Mid-Atlantic
Four decades ago, Ira Berlin stressed the importance of understanding the diverse development of African American life and culture during the colonial era that also shaped many aspects of black society in subsequent centuries. Toward this effort, he identified three distinct slave systems in mainland British North America: a northern nonplantation system and two southern plantation systems, one around the Chesapeake Bay and the other in the South…
Archaeology of marronage in the Caribbean Antilles
The archaeological study of maroons in the Caribbean Antilles presents both opportunities and challenges. On small islands, runaways had few places where they could seek refuge from slavery and elude capture for long periods of time. Consequently, such sites were occupied briefly and have been difficult to locate and identify. The Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico) had both short-term refuge sites and long-term settleme…
Archaeologies of dispossession
Dispossession-the action of taking away and depriving people of their homeland, property, history, language, identity, cultural practices and/or livelihoods-underlies and connects these two publications. Dispossession is a long-standing interest in historical archaeology dating to the 1970s when its study was referred to as the 'archaeology of the disenfranchised'. Both books contribute superb additions to this established research area, and more…

Reflexões sobre a Arqueologia da Diáspora Africana no Brasil

Archaeology and Slavery
Archaeology provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of slavery that combines analyses of archaeological findings with careful readings of traditional primary sources of historiography. Excavations of sites where enslaved people once lived and worked yield residue of things produced, consumed, and discarded by the former occupants of these sites. This article discusses plantation spatial organization and the built environment of slaver…

Slavery and spatial dialectics on Cuban coffee plantations
A. Singleton Slaveholders manipulated the spatial organization of plantations to their advantage in an effort to control the actions of enslaved workers. Slave workers, on the hand, always found ways to resist planter hegemony. Cuban slaveholders, not only employed surveillance measures comparable to those found elsewhere in the Americas, but they also housed enslaved people in prison-like quar-ters. Using both archaeological data and written sou…

The Archaeology of Slavery in North America
Archaeologists began to study slavery more than two decades ago, and since that time this interest has rapidly grown to become one of the most popular research specialties in the archaeology of the post-Columbian period. This essay reviews the interpretation of the archaeological record of slavery directed toward the analysis of four themes: living conditions under slavery, status differences within the plantation community, relationships of plan…
