A Chesapeake Family and their Slaves by Anne Elizabeth Yentsch
Analysing the material remains left by Maryland's colonists in the eighteenth century in conjunction with historical records and works of art, archaeologists have reconstructed the daily life of the aristocratic British family of the governor of Maryland. In this large household people from different cultures interacted, and English and West African lifestyles merged. Using this fascinating case-study, Anne Yentsch illustrates the way in which historical archaeology draws on different disciplines to interpret the past.
'… charts in great detail a revealing course through the colonial period of North America … weaves together folklore, historical documents and archaeology to produce a classic study about a time and place that we thought we knew, but only now are beginning to understand'New Scientist
