Setting Boundaries: Identifying the Homes of Enslaved Field Workers at James Madison's Montpelier (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christine H Heacock. Matthew Reeves.

During the 2012-2013 field season, the Montpelier Archaeology Department excavated the remains of houses occupied by field workers on the Madison plantation . These structures were not built using sub-surface methods that would leave direct architectural evidence.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kevin Fogle.

The late antebellum period witnessed the rise of an agricultural reform movement aimed at revitalizing the southern plantation system.

Recent archaeological study has begun to...
