“…Many of these new analyses have been made possible by efforts such as the Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery (DAACS), "a Web-based initiative designed to foster intersite, comparative archaeological research on slavery" (https://www.daacs.org/aboutdaacs/). In bringing together on a single platform data from dozens of archaeological sites from the Chesapeake to the Caribbean, DAACS facilitates comparative projects and analyses that require larger samples, longer time frames, or greater geographical diversity than a single site could provide (Galle 2017). This large, and significantly, standardized data set has supported fine-grained and systematic investigations of, for example, how enslaved people engaged with the consumer revolution.…”

A focus on institutions frames this examination of the archaeology of African America. While initially emphasizing the institution of slavery and theories of Black difference, the field today has a much wider scope. Researchers engaged in this work critically examine past and present-day institutions. As such, this review also considers the place of African American archaeology in engaged scholarship, critical theory, and self-reflexive practice. As in past reviews, the emphasis is on the United States, with occasional references to important work in the rest of the African diaspora. African American archaeology is shown to be inextricably interwoven with scholarly work in North American archaeology, African American studies, heritage studies, and social theory. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Anthropology Volume 51 is October 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…Despite such indications, a narrower chronological evaluation of the production and consumption of these wares is difficult for early modern Portuguese wares since most of their shapes and decorations, especially for the cheapest objects, endured for decades. Jillian Galle noted the same problem when she tried to apply her abundance index to the early modern Atlantic world (Galle, 2017).…”

Wealth in Religious and Secular Contexts: A Critical Analysis of Pottery Consumption in early modern Portugal

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Wealth differentials in archaeological sites are a frequently studied topic, but social differentiation approaches are rarely applied to different contexts within a wider territory, especially in Portugal. In this article, the authors discuss the differences in wealth and inequality through the consumption of tablewares from fifteen sites across Portugal dated from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries ad. The archaeological evidence derives from two types of contexts: secular (houses and dumps) and religious (female and male religious institutions). Using a statistical similarity method to compare different consumption patterns in each context, the authors discuss how this can help us understand wealth differences in distinct social environments.
