Reviews

Historical Archaeologies of the Caribbean will have a receptive readership in Caribbean archaeology. The combination of studies, ranging as it does from faunal analysis to ceramics and post-emancipation era transitions makes for a volume likely to stimulate future research projects." - Marco Meniketti, author of Sugar Cane Capitalism and Environmental Transformation: An Archaeology of Colonial Nevis, West Indies

"This volume offers significant new insights into a range of Caribbean sites; plantations, free communities of color, military forts, frontiers, urban landscapes, households, and asylums . . . The foci of each contributor also illustrates how historical archaeology in the Caribbean is shifting away from emphasizing plantation contexts, while still acknowledging the centrality of these estates." - Kristen Fellows, assistant professor of Anthropology at North Dakota State University
