Excerpt from Yaughan and Curriboo Plantations: Studies in Afro-American Archaeology
The New York Times, in a Sunday editorial in the fall of 1982, touted arche ology as man's greatest library, and increasingly, governments are becoming aware of the potential of archeology to serve as the mediator between science, culture, and identity. It is in this context that we present this study of eighteenth century African slaves on the South Carolina coastal plain. The study is significant in a number of ways: in the differences it highlights between colonial and antebellum plantation systems; in its approach to the study of the process of acculturation as revealed in the archeological record; and finally in the contribution it makes to Black history by describing the early life of afro-americans as depicted in their own material remains. As James Deetz stated in summarizing the work at Parting Nays, Since the artifactual and architectural remains of these communities are a better index of the life of afro-americans in their own terms, they hold great promise of supplementing American Black history in a different and important archeology tells us that in Spite of their lowly station in life they were the bearers of a life-style, distinctively their own, neither recognized nor understood by their chroniclers.
