Articulating Caribbean Stories from Documentary Sources and Archaeology
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2018
Documentary archeology has proposed a myriad of sources which can be used to reconstruct aspects of colonial societies in the Americas. This symposium will focus on the incorporation of methodologies and data from auxiliary disciplines, the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating archival data, and current lines of research in Caribbean historical archaeology. Through case studies, the presenters will explore the use of documentary sources for proposing potential research projects, interpreting archaeological sites, and reconstructing narratives of daily life within the colonial period.
