Description

Book Synopsis
Enslaved Africans and their descendants comprised a significant portion of colonial Virginia populations, with most living on rural slave quarters adjacent to the agricultural fields in which they labored. This book shows how archaeological excavations into these home sites have provided unique windows into their daily lifeways and culture.

Trade Review
The manuscript is thorough and richly textured in use of ethnohistoric, art history, archaeological, and historical data. This will be a useful and concise source of data. - Amy L. Young, Associate Professor of Anthropology, The University of Southern Mississippi ""This is a well-conducted piece of exciting synthetic research on a topic of interest to many archaeologists. This study features a thorough and sophisticated integration of ethnographic, documentary, and archaeological analyses. This work is an outstanding example of contextual archaeology."" - Laurie A. Wilkie, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley
