The Arizona Museum of Natural History (AzMNH) has previously unexplored perishable materials, including fifteen textile fragments of Peruvian, Mexican, and Southwestern origin. I present the results of a technological analysis and description of the manufacture of these fragmentary remains. Although this is a small sample for statistical research, it is sufficient for descriptive purposes. As these textiles have not received prior exposure, they should be described and presented. Taken together...

More than 100 million people were enslaved in the millennium during which the Roman Empire rose and was eclipsed, yet the lives of Roman slaves are still generally assumed to be archaeologically inaccessible. Classical archaeologists view slavery almost entirely through the lens of the Roman literary tradition, and through the work of ancient historians who have drawn on that tradition.

It is argued that the gradual but significant shift in geographic scale from regional specialization to frameworks like the Atlantic World,...

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Enslavement" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeological research on Maroons—that is, runaway slaves—has been largely confined to the Americas. This paper advocates a more global approach. It specifically uses two runaway slave communities in 19th-century coastal Kenya to rethink prominent interpretive themes in the field, including "Africanisms," Maroons’ connections to indigenous groups, and...
