ABSTRACT The innovation and development of alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery in America was introduced by potteries operated by the Scots-Irish Landrum family in the Edgefield, South Carolina area early in the nineteenth century. The potteries employed enslaved African-American laborers and later free African Americans. Documentary evidence indicates that many enslaved Africans were brought to this area of pottery production throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, providing newly arrived cultural influences from societies targeted by the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Edgefield potteries present fascinating research questions of understanding technological innovations and investigating the impacts of African-American, European-American, and Asian manufacturing traditions and knowledge on a rural industry and its cultural landscape. This article provides an introduction to a thematic collection of studies on these subjects.

ABSTRACT Archaeological investigations at the Pottersville kiln site in Edgefield, South Carolina in 2011 sought to identify the dimensions of the kiln and any architectural features associated with that structure’s design. Locating and identifying key architectural elements would allow for a better understanding of kiln technology in the American south region during the early nineteenth century and daily operations around the Pottersville kiln. This article provides a discussion of the archaeological findings from those investigations and postulates possibilities regarding the origins for kiln designs in the Old Edgefield District. This research revealed that African-American workers and European-American entrepreneurs constructed a type of kiln at Pottersville that was never seen before in the Americas.

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the relatively understudied context of industrial slavery in the United States and on slave-owning ceramic entrepreneurs in a rural region of the antebellum South. The institution of slavery was expanded into industrial contexts such as the Edgefield District potteries of South Carolina by a number of entrepreneurs, including Reverend John Landrum, in the early 19th century. The use of enslaved laborers in lieu of wage laborers provided such business operators with a form of social capital in addition to economic proceeds. This article analyzes the results of preliminary archaeological investigations of domestic locations at the Reverend John Landrum site in Aiken County along with related documentary evidence. Industrial slavery in the rural, and primarily agricultural, antebellum South was linked in multifaceted ways with slaveholder identity and a desire to attain wealth and acceptance within particular social networks.

ABSTRACT Alkaline-glazed stoneware developed in the Edgefield District of South Carolina in the early nineteenth century and employed a range of decorations and marks that drew from European ceramic traditions and reflected pottery factory owner’s preferences, styles, and tastes. However, Edgefield stoneware also includes symbols and marks that were used by African-American potters who worked in the District and who made many Edgefield pots. Chief among these are variations of the cross mark, a core symbol employed by African Americans and seen in other ceramics and other media. Other marks, including slash and punctate marks, also have West African associations as “country marks” used in scarification to express cultural and social identity. Employing a database of pottery marks, this article examines the types of marks employed in the Edgefield District, their locations, their use as indicators of pottery manufacturer or individual potter, their designation of vessel attributes, their use as decoration, and their role as marks of cultural identity.

ABSTRACT Tanganyika, today Tanzania Mainland, was one of four countries, including Namibia, Cameroon, and Togo, that suffered under German colonial rule in Africa. Formally lasting from 1885 to 1918, German rule over Tanganyika commenced at the peak of slave trading in the region. As such, the politico-economic modes of slavery and colonialism influenced each other variably during German rule. Some of these influences have been better studied and documented than others. Issues regarding hostility between slave traders and Germans as economic competitors exemplify cases that have received better coverage in the region. At the same time, very little is known about responses of enslaved individuals or escapees against the establishment of German rule in East Africa. Using southern Tanganyika as a case study, this article examines the place of slave runaways in the colonial process and diaspora dynamics of the region. This study reveals why and how this group exerted a noticeable force against imposition of German rule in southern Tanganyika through a famous war of resistance, popularly referred to as the Maji Maji War.

ABSTRACT New archaeological research inside the Christiansted National Historic Site in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands, has uncovered a wealth of cultural resources around the Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse that have lasting implications for the largely Afro-Caribbean descendent Crucian community living in St. Croix today. Following a stump removal, exposing the remains of a Danish military stock warehouse containing 3,152 artifacts, two excavations targeting the dwelling spaces of royal enslaved Afro-Caribbeans recovered over 4,000 artifacts within the same warehouse structure. This new research brings into focus the daily lives of the enslaved Afro-Caribbean peoples residing within the walls of the Danish West India and Guinea Company Warehouse in service to the King of Denmark. The project also brings attention to the lives of the Danish officers who carried out their operations in the same space. This article explores the relationship between these two groups.

In the early nineteenth century, members of one household of the enslaved community at Virginia's Montpelier plantation buried their dog near the duplex they called home. This action, on its own, unfortunately does not speak directly to the broader experiences of Africans or their descendants forced into American bondage, or the specific experiences of the women and men enslaved at Montpelier. However, by contextualizing dogs in the African Atlantic and the specific landscapes of Montpelier, such narratives come into focus, allowing us to explore the roles the animal may have played in the daily life of an enslaved household.

Research in historical archaeology has often focused on analyzing the degree to which African diaspora material culture has been shaped by the beliefs and practices of particular African cultures impacted by the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Landscapes, architecture, and objects can, at times, be analyzed to evaluate whether their design, construction, or use has been influenced by such cultural traditions. Through the concepts of innovation and creolization, material culture such as this can be reinterpreted in new ways. This article reexamines English manufactured smoking pipes recovered from Newton Plantation cemetery on Barbados. I argue that within an African diasporic burial context, unmodified European manufactured objects, such as English manufactured smoking pipes, could carry cultural significance shaped by African cultural beliefs and practices. Artifacts such as these are embedded in both diversity and situational complexity.

This study presents the results of archaeological excavations undertaken in an urban site located on the Rua da Assembleia in the center of Rio de Janeiro, one of the city's oldest areas of occupation. Investigations uncovered an area used to dump waste materials and a water well made with stones, dating to between the end of the seventeenth century and the first decades of the eighteenth century. This site was used to collect water that supplied the small urban nucleus existing at the time. The space was also employed to dump the waste collected from the nearby area. These tasks were carried out by enslaved laborers who visited the space frequently. As a result, the site became a place of sociability where enslaved Africans met to share experiences and negotiate their interests. This article interprets the site as a meeting point for urban slaves and presents their material evidence.
这项研究展示了在里约热内卢市中心Rua da Assembleia的一个城市遗址进行的考古发掘结果，该遗址是该市最古老的占领区之一。调查发现了一个用来倾倒废物的区域和一个用石头砌成的水井，其历史可以追溯到17世纪末到18世纪初。这个地点被用来收集水，供应当时存在的小城市核心。该空间还用于倾倒从附近地区收集的废物。这些工作都是由经常造访太空的奴隶劳工来完成的。因此，这个地方成为了一个社交场所，被奴役的非洲人在这里聚会，分享经验，协商他们的利益。本文将该遗址解释为城市奴隶的聚集地，并提出了他们的物证。

This article focuses on the examination of some aspects of rural slavery in Brazil. Discussions will draw on the examination of data from two plantations from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Through analysis of these case studies, this article exposes the mechanisms created in the landscape by plantation operators in order to exercise better control of captives’ lives. This study also examines how enslaved individuals created reciprocal practices and domains of knowledge within living areas that allowed them to produce and reproduce practices on their own. The conclusion of this text stresses the significance of the enslaved individuals’ living places for their cultural and social survival.
