Abstract
Many studies have been conducted on the history of Africans and their descendants in Brazil, but the potential of historical archaeology sites in the Amazon region has been little explored. I present a brief overview of this research, beginning with contemporary studies on African slavery and diaspora in Brazil, investigations combining history and archaeology in Brazil, and studies focused on the history and anthropology of the Amazon region. This article concludes with a case study of a systematic excavation of a slave quarter in the Brazilian Amazon, the Murutucu Sugar Cane Mill, in the vicinity of Belém city in Pará state in Brazil, and potential interpretations of the material culture remains uncovered at that site.
期刊介绍：
Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage provides a focal point for peer-reviewed publications in interdisciplinary studies in archaeology, history, material culture, and heritage dynamics concerning African descendant populations and cultures across the globe. The Journal invites articles on broad topics, including the historical processes of culture, economics, gender, power, and racialization operating within and upon African descendant communities. We seek to engage scholarly, professional, and community perspectives on the social dynamics and historical legacies of African descendant cultures and communities worldwide. The Journal publishes research articles and essays that review developments in these interdisciplinary fields.
