Low-Fired Ceramic Chronologies at Fort Mose

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Fort Mose was the first free black settlement in the United States, built in Spanish territory on land previously occupied by the Eastern Timucuan. This paper explores the ceramics of Fort Mose and delves into the chronology of site use based on ceramic types. Indigenous ceramics and colonoware provide insight into the presence and cultural interaction of different cultural groups at Fort Mose. By considering the prehistory and history of the indigenous peoples in the area and free African Americans who lived at the Fort, we can piece together the social and economic contexts of ceramic producers and users.
